POWERS READY TO ACT
AND STOP THE WAR
IN THEBALKANS
Turkey Understood to Have Consented
to Program—The Situation • at
Adrianople Now Critical
London, Nov. 12.—It is said the powers, at the request
of Turkey, are about to sound the Balkan allies with the
object of arranging an armistice. Around Adrianople the
Bulgarians are having some of the hardest fighting of the
campaign. Dispatches say they suffered heavy losses in
taking the Turkish forts on Rartal tepe and Papaz tepe.
Rieka, Montenegro, Nov. 12.—The
bombardment of the Turkish city of
Tarakosch, on Lake Scutari, was con
tinued throughout Sunday. Toward
evening the Turkish garrison with
drew to the highest points of the
■works, which are on the side of a
mountain. Their persecution was ren
dered so desperate by exposure to
snow and by lack of provisions that
they attempted later to abandon all
positions and escape into Scutari.
They were, however, driven back Into
Tarakosch by the Montenegrin troops.
American Cruisers Sail.
Philadelphia, Nov. 12.—The armored
cruisers Tennessee and Montana sailed
today for Constantinople to safeguard
American interests In Turkey. The
Montana will arrive first at Gibraltar.
Missionaries Are Sefe.
New York, Nov. 12.—Cleveland H.
Dodge received today a. cablegram |
from Dr. Gates, president of Roberts j
college In Constantinople, saying: "The i
missionaries and colleges In Oonstan- i
tinople are all right. The city is tran
ttuil and our college is In session as j
usual."
Another Defeat Probable.
London, Nov. 12.—Judging by all |
precedents in the present war, the j
news from Constantinople is the her- j
aid of aiTother Turkish defeat at ths i
Tchatalja lines, where a battle hat j
been on for the last two or three days !
The Turkish admission that st
many wounded are arriving at the capi
tal as to show that the Turks are of
fering resistance has great signifi
cance, In view of previous admissions
of a similar nature, and may be re
garded as preparing the general pub
lic for another disappointment. It
may be quite possible that this will
prove the last great ba'tle of the
campaign.
There are indications that Bulgaria
may forego a triumphal entry Into
Constantinople. According to some
reports, Bulgaria w ill be content with
finding suitable winter quarters for
her army while peace negotiations
are going on.
The question of mediation has
made another step forward In the an
nouncement from Paris that the Aus
trian government has agreed to join
with the other powers in transmitting
Turkey's request for mediation to the
allies.
Ths Approach of Winter.
The revelation of the danger to Eu
ropean peace lying In the antagonistic
Interests of Austria and Servla ap- j
pear to have quickened the sense of
the powers and probably of the Bal
kan states also, to the Imperative
need of working In amicable co-op
eration to procure a settlement of the
Balkan problems acceptable to all.
Another factor making for the speedy
cessation of the war Is the approach
of severe winter conditions.
' There is still talk In Vienna of
sending nn ultimatum to Servla and
other warlike reports, but it Is be
lieved that Germany Is exercising an
ameliorating Influence in the direction
of persuading both Austria and Ser
vla to consent to a postponement of
the settlement until the whole mat
ter can be dealt with by the Euro
pean conference.
Diplomacy Is active In all the Eu
ropean capitals. It is understood that
after his Important mission at Buda
pest Is concluded. Dr. Daneff, presi
dent of the Bulgarian chamber of
deputies, will go to the other Euro
pean courts to explain the views of
the allies. The Servian premier, M.
Pachltleh, after an important cabinet
meeting, left Belgrade last night for

judge," began Schrank. 'T shot Theo
(lore Roosevelt because he was a ttten
ace to the country and should not have
a third term. It is bad that a man
should have a third term. I did not
want him to have one. I shot him as a
warning that a man must not try to
have more than two terms as president.
I shot Theodore Roosevelt to kill him.
I think all men trying to keep them
selves in office should be killed. They
become dangerous. I (lid not do It be

Progressive party, either, gentlemen."

Spanish cabinet In February, 1910, was
the leader of the Monarchial Demo
cratic party which came Into power at
the resignation of the Liberal cabi
net headed by Senor Moret T. Pren
dergast.
Canalejas, who belongs to a wealthy
and prominent family, came to the
front politically in 1900 when he took
the leading rart in a campaign
against clericalism. At 25 he became
a member of parliament, amassing
himself to advanced Liberal sections.
He became a member of Sagastas'
cabinet as minister of agriculture and
introduced many reforms, especially
In regard to the working classes and
created the department of labor. He
was the first advanced radical ever
placed at the head of a ministry. His
plan for the separation of the church
and state caused a rupture with the
Vatican. The relations since have been
resumed and the question of separa
tion Is being discussed with a view to
a friendly settlement.

book stall on the street Martin Is

archists. A strict censorship has been
established by the authorities.
Bystanders seized Martin and hand
ed him over to the police. He then

is believed he has since died from
self-inflicted wounds. Martin Is said
to have been closely connected with
anarchists, but it Is not known whether
his crime was preconcerted or whether
It was committed on his own Initia
tive. Political ferment a'ways exists
In Spain, but nothing has been re
ported within a recent period which
could In any way be connected with
the crime.
