,A V ".Ji&i •. & i --r* .\.?G •w- -V •-4 BAKING •Practically Decided That a Conference Of the Interested Countries Will Be Called to Discuss the Balkan Situa tion and It la Not Improbable That Action Will Be TakM Support of Turkey's Protest. Constantinople, Oct 7.—The council If ,ministers held a long session to consider the action of Bulgaria In de daring her independence of Turkey. It was decided that it was impossible to accept any proceedings that vio lated existing treaties and that Tur key should address a circular note to the powers pointing out the necessity Of taking measures to enforce respect to* the treaty of Berlin. Replying to the telegram salt to the Turkish government by Prince Fer dinand, In which he said that in de claring the Independence of Bulgaria he had been compelled to respect the voice of the nation and. expressed the hope that the friendly relations be tween the two countries would con tinue, Turkey says she has invited the powers to confer on the situation and as her rights are guarantee}! by the powers she will look to them for their defense. The Yenai Gazette, the or gan of the grand vizier, says: "We are ready to defend our rights with all our strength. As the action of Bulgaria is not only directed against us, but against all the powers, we should Ask the powers to defend their Interests and protect the provisions of the treaty of Berlin." FRANCE TO BACK TURKEY Favors Upholding Provisions of the Treaty of Berlin. ••V.. Paris, Oct. 7.—The hope that hos iMfiies may be avoided in the Balkans is growing in Paris. The latest ad vices received here from Constantino ple seem to indicate that the porte. for the moment, is not disposed to go further than a formal protest against Bulgaria's proclamation of independ ence. Foreign Minisle# Pichon Is continu ing his conferences here. He talked with M. Iswolsky, the Russian minis ter of foreign affairs, and M. Standoff, the diplomatic agent of Bulgaria, and later he conferred with the British, Turkish, Italian and Spanish ambas sadors. France believes in the necessity of a new conference of the signatories of the Berlin treaty for the purpose of clearing up the situation and safe guarding the interests of all the pow ers concerned. If the principle of a new congress is approved France, in accord with Great Britain and Russia, will abstain from recognizing the in dependence of Bulgaria and the seiz ure of Bosnia and Herzegovina by Austria-Hungary.

'When the treaty of Paris of 1850 was Revised in London in 1871 Austria iTungary was loud in her protestation against Russia's refusal longer to abide by the provisions relative to the Black sea. MERELY A"PAPER CHANGE No Material Interests Involve* by Bul garia's Act. Berlin, Oct. 7.— The question whether there is to be peace or war in the Balkans has not yet been de cided in Constantinople, according to official dispatches received at the for eign office. The ambassadors of the powe^p at Constantinople find the sit uation a difficult one, because the con trol of affairs does not rest altogether with the cabinet of the Young Turks, but partially with the powerful com mittee of Young Turks outside the caHnet. Official opinion In Berlin leads to the belief that there will be no war. Inasmuch as the change in the rela tions between Bulgaria and Turkey is merely a paper change. No material interests will be involved provided Bulgaria gives up ter control of the Oriental railroad in Eastern Roumelia, as- now seems probable. Germany continues Her attitude of reserve. She would not oppose a con ference of the powers for the revision of the treaty of Berlin If such a con ference were desired by the other powers. Has No Desire for War. London. Oct. 7.—The Bulgarian charge d'affaires, M. de Breff, officially informed Great Britain of Bulgaria's declaration of independence. The Bul garian government instructed its rep resentative to say also that in pro claiming her independence Bulgaria had no desire for war and that h« aims were eminently peaceful. ROBBERS SECURE $2,300. Bank at Danube, Minn., Looted by Burglar*. Olivia, Minn., Oct. 7.—The State, bank of Danube was burglarized and $2,300 in cash was taken. The safe door was blown through the plate glass into the street. Rev. Reed was coming from the depot, after meet ing the morning passenger train. He passed the bank and saw a light and men working. Thinking it was- his friends he whistled and was answered by a pistol shot, which woke the town. No one dared to make a flght. The robbers escaped in the darkness. General Fitzgerald Dead. New York, Oct. 7.—General Louis Fitzgerald, for more than half a cen tury a promfhent figure in New York, is dead. He was seventy-one years old. Up to the time of his retirement from business General Fitzgerald was active in important, railroad reorgan ization and Bnaneiai operations. Long Trip of Submarine Boat.

Castro's enemies. v $ L• •V i/' k "v Vs '. w The Hague, Oct. 7.—The Nether lands government has been notified by the governor of Curacao that the sec ond Netherlands note had been pre sented to Jose de Jesus Paul, the Ven ezuelan minister of foreign affairs. The governor adds that he lias re ceived official advices from Caracas, dated Sept. 26, to the effect that Pres ident Castro was seriously ill aud that the administration of Venezuela prob ably would have to be handed over again to Vicente Gomes, vice presi dent of the republic. The council of ministers has the new situation thus created under con sideration. It seams that The Nether lands recently approached the Euro pean powers and suggested combined action against Venezuela, but although they all consented to give their moral support not one of them was willing actively to participate In a blockade. The Netherlands hesitated to under take single handed a blockade of the Venezuelan coast in view of the fact that a similar action by Great Britain, Germany and Italy in combination practically failed of result. Official opinion seems inclined rather to eco nomic reprisals, such as annulling the prohibition to export arms from Cura cao into Venezuela. This would allow the Venezuelan revolutionaries to ob tain weapons. If The Netherlands shut its eyes to the activities of the revolutionists in Curacao this island would become the center of President MANY DELEGATES PRESENT International Tax Association Meets at Toronto. Toronto, Ont., Oct. 7.—The Interna tional Tax association met here for the first time under its new name. Last year it was known as the nation al association. On the invitation of Premier Sir James Whitney the meet ings were held in the parliament build ings. The objects of the association as outlined in the constitution to be adopted at this meeting are: To formulate and announce through the deliberately expressed opinion of an International conference the best informed economic thought and ripest administrative experience available for the correct, guidance of public opin ion and legislative and administrative action on all questions pertaining to stato and local taxation and to inter state and international comity in tax ation. Delegates from thirty-three states of the United States and five Canadian provinces and presidents of several universities are present. 0ISCUSSED BY~DlPL0MATS Russian Proposal to Convoke a Con gress of the Powers. St. Petersburg, Oct. 7.—The inten tion of Russia to convoke a congress of the powers to discuss revision of the treaty of Berlin was the subject of lengthy conferences between Acting Minister of Foreign Affairs Tchary koff and the diplomatic representa tives of the powers interested. These Included the Turkish, British and Aus tro-Hungarian ambassadors. No state ment. of the attitude of the Russian government is obtainable and the dip lomats are unwilling to commit them selves regarding the possibility of a Turco-Bulgarian war as a result of Bulgaria's declaration of independ ence but the general impression is that Turkey will not regard Bulgaria's action, which was taken in the face of emphatic Russian protests, as a cause for war. When the Russian foreign office was sounded in the mat ter of the Bulgarian proclamation it addressed strongly worded representa tions to Prince Ferdinand against the step, declaring It to be the duty of civilized powers to refrain from em barrassing the Young Turks in their efforts for reform. The original Bul garian plan was to allow Austria Hun gary to take the initiative in annexing Bosnia and Herzegovina and to pro claim her independence while the at tention of tho powers was occupied with this matter. It was realized, however, that a spontaneous declara tion and appeal would have a much greater effect on the popular imagina tion and for this same reason Tirnovo, the ancient capital of the kingdom of Bulgaria, was chosen as the scene of tJW historic Mt.
