WAR FEVER IN
SERVMGROWS
Scenes of Wild Enthusiasm
at Belgrade.
DEMAND TO SEE THE KING
Mob of Demonstrators Invade* the
Precincts of the Palace and Be
comes So Threatening That Troops
Are Called Out to Disperse the
Crowd—Flood of Telegrams From
th« Interior Promising Support.
Belgrade, Servla, Oct. 9.—The
clamor for war with Austria-Hungary
ibeouuse of the occupation of Bosnia
•and Herzegovina ia growing here con
stantly and scenes of wild enthusiasm
are being witnessed on the streets ol'
(Belgrade.
A mob of demonstrators forced its
way to the precincts of the palace anil
demanded to see King Peter. The
jattitiule of the crowd was so threaten
ing that troops and gendarmes finally
had to be called out. They surround
ed the palace and had to charge sev
eral times before the war fevered pa
triots would disperse.
The patriots are very much dissat
isfied with the tone of the protest of
'Seruki against the occupation of Bos
nia and Herzegovina. They declare i'
lacks vigor and does not represent the
feelings of the nation, which wouli
rather go to war than acquiesce in
thts act of Austria-Hungary.
Th* r« is a steady flow of telegrams
from the interior assuring the govern
ment of support in the shape of money,
nun and arms In the event of hdfetili
ties.
APPEALS FOR JUSTICE.
Text of Servia's Prat—t to the
Powers.
Belgrade, Oct. 9.—The Servian gov
ernnient, in its proclamation proton
ing against the annexation by Austria
Hungary of Bosnia and Herzegovina,
expresses the hope that the powers
will respond to the appeal addressed
to them for protection and justice.
"This new and flagrant violation of
the Berlin treaty," the proclamation
declares, "has been effected unilater
ally by force majure, to satisfy selfish
interests and without regard to the
arievous blow thus dealt to the feel
Irgs, interests and rights of the Ser
vian people.
"Servia cannot, in this present case,
obtain full satisfaction other than by
the complete restoration of the situa
tion with regard to Bosnia and Her
zegovina as established by the treaiy
of Berlin. If this solution is regarded
as absolutely impossible the Servian
government, appealing to the sense o!
equity of the powers, demands corre
sponding compensation for Servia. Tlin
guarantees indispensible to her exist
enre as an independent state must be
maintained and the general condition
of existence assured Servia by the
treaty of Berlin must, at least in a
measure, be restored."
Continuing, the proclamation poinis
out that the rights accorded Servia
under this treaty are incomparably in
ferior to the sacrifices imposed upon
her. Servia has scrupulously ob
served the terms of the treaty. No
modifications to the advantage of Ser
via have been made, whereas there
have been a number of modifications
to the advantage of other powers.
TURKEY MAY RETALIATE.
Aggressive Move in Connection. With
Secession of Crete.
Constantinople, Oct. 9.—The procla
mation of the union of the island of
Crate with Greece may not be accept
ed by Turkey without retaliation. It
to reported here that the Turkish gov
ernment has ordered four of its war
siips, which are at present at Smyrna,
to proceed to the island of Samos.
8amos is a Greek island and pays an
austual tribute to Turkey.
The Grsek minister to Turkey pre
sented to the porte a coinmunication
from his government announcing that
the people of Crete had spontaneously
proclaimed the union of that island
wfth Greece. He assured the Turkish
government that Greece was not re
sponsible for the proceedings of the
Cretans and expressed the hope that
Ibis action would not disturb the pres
ent friendly relations between the
two powers. It is feared here that
tfcis hope can hardly be realized.
PRECAUTIONARY STEPS.
Austria Preparing to Protect Frontier
Against Servia.
Vienna, Oct. 9.—Information has
reached the government that Servia i?

two provinces with armed bands.

WILL START A MAGAZINE.
La Follette Decides to Issu* Weekly
Publication.
Madison, Wis., Oct. 9. United
States Senator La Follette is to start
a Commoner. It will not be called the
Commoner, however, and, in fact, the
rame, if decided upon, has not been
mr:de public. The announcement of
the senator's Intention was made by
fcim in person in the following state
ment which he gave out:
"The increasing demands upon me
for addresses and for such printed
matter on representative government
as I furnish for public distribution
have impressed me with the belief
that I should establish a weekly pa
per, published primarily in support of
government by the people.
"With assured support I shall pro
ceed at once with the regular publica
tion of a weekly magazine, devoted to
the public interest upon lines broad
enough to appeal to the progressive
people of the entire country. I shall
print the records of public officials
and political parties on vital ques
tions. I shall discuss men and meas
ures impartially and fearlessly.
"With the assistance of able writers
and correspondents I will furnish
readers a summary of important news,
a digest of proceedings in congress,
a report of the progress made in the
struggle for self-government in cities
and states and timely, well considered
contributions and editorial discussion
upon economic, financial and social
questions. The paper will deal not
only with these problems, but as wide
ly as possible with other questions of
human interest."
CHICAGO DEFEATS
NEW YORK TEAM
Captures National League Pen
nant tor 1903.
New York, Oct. 9.—Mathewson,
"Matty the great," lopt his form in
the third Inning of the New York
Chicago baseball game. The game
was lost then and there. Chicago
made four runs. After that neither
Wiltse's going to the boic in the
eighth nor all the urging of the thou
sands of throats could secure victorv
for the home team. Four to two it
ended for the players from the West.
ONE BOY FATALLY WOUNDED
"Special Officers" Cause Bloodshed in
Taxicab Strike.
New York, Oct. 9.—A party of "spe
cial officers in the employ of the New
York Taxicab company, riding in two
touring cars along West Fifty-seventh
street, suddenly and without any ap
parent reason opened fire to right and
left of them. The volley caused the
first fatality of the taxicab strike.
Robert Quayle, a fourteen-year-old
boy, returning from night school, was
shot in the head and is dying.
Other bullets whizzed dangerously
close to the heads of pedestrians and
residents of the street. There was a
veritable panic, scores of persons run
ning in fright into stores and hall
ways.
The cars containing the "special offi
cers" then drove on, the men howling
defiance and pointing guns at a crowd
which tried to halt them. The officers
were arrested.
TOLD TO RUN FOR CONGRESS
Advice Qiven Farmers at Society of
Equity Convention.
Milwaukee, Oct. 9.—J. W. Long of
Chippewa Falls, Wis., addressed the
American Society of Equity conven
tion, in which he advised the farmers
to run for congress. He gave some
statistics of the personnel of the ad
ministrative and deliberative bodies
In Wrashington and informed his co
workers that they were mostly made
up of lawyers and bankers. To off
set this state of affairs he asked the
farmers to become candidates for the
office.
The convention amended several of
Its bylaws as recommended by the
committee. Most of the changes re
ferred to the local bodies, their organ*
lzation and maintenance.
KiII* Wif« on Street Car.
Chicago. Oct. 9.—While the baby la
her arms crowed gleefully at a glit
tering revolver Mrs. Katherine Arf,
nineteen years old, was shot and killed
by her husband in a street car where
a 3core of passengers stood terror
stricken Arf, after a vain attempt to
escape, flred a bullet through his own
head and died.
SEVERE BLOW TO
WORLJTS PEACE
French Premier Discusses
Balkan Situation.
MILITARISM A NECESSITY
Recent Occurrences Proof That France
Must Maintain Her Military Power
to insure the National Defense in
Moments Like the Present When a
Solemn International Treaty Had
Been Torn Up.
Bandol, France, Oct. 9.—Premier
Clemenceau made an address here in
which he referred to the existing
crisis In the Near East as a severe
blow to the peace propaganda of the
world. He said also that tl|e Balkan
situation was proof that the necessity
still existed for France to maintain
her military power to insure the na
clonal defense in moments like the
present, when a solemn international
treaty had been torn up.
The premier's subject was "Lib
eity" and he dealt with the evils, espe
cially anti-militarism, that are prore
to grow up in a republic.
"Military power alone gives effica
cious support when the facts so clear
ly reveal the feebleness of interna-

tlonal guarantees," the premier said.
"All people wish to maintain peace
and all governments profess to be pa
cific, but by striking contradiction
we too often appear to be upon the
eve of bloody conflicts. Peoples and
governments sometimes allow their
passions and their excessive egotism
to overcome the better instincts of
humanity.
"Amid the difficulties and perils of
the present hour we will contribute
our best efforts, with the aid of onv
friends and allies, to conciliate con
Aiding interests. At the same tine
we will continue to manifest our ener
getic sympathy for a people which is
battling for liberal institutions."
FRANCE REMAINS FIRM.
International Conference Only Way* to
Settle Trouble.
Paris, Oct. 9.—France continues to
Insist energetically that an interna
tional conference is the only solution
of the Balkan crisis. She says such
a congress is made imperatively nec
essary by Turkey's appeal to the pow
ers.
A flat denial is given here to the
statements that the movement for a
conference has received a check. It
Is stated positively that Great Britain
already has agreed to this idea In
principle and no doubt is entertained
but that the divergence of views be
tween Russia and Great Britain as to
the programme to be discussed would
be reconciled as soon as M. Iswolsky,
the Russian foreign minister, reaches
London.
It is now practically certain Russia
will issue the invitations to this con
ference.
The matter of inviting the United
States has not been considered, as
America is not a party to the Berlin
treaty and as it is assumed that her
traditional policy will make her pre
fer not to enter a strictly European
conference.
Official advices received here from
points in the Balkans are more favor
able in one respect, but less so in an
other. From Belgrade comes the as
surance that the present effervescent
will not go to the point of a declara
tion of war, but from Sofia there has
come confirmation of the report that
Bulgaria has made a telegraphic de
mand upon the porte for the recogni
tion of her independence.

office, taking cognizance of ihe efforts

SITUATION COMPLICATED.
More Pessimistic Feeling Regarding
Balkan Trouble.
London, Oct. 9.—More pessimistic
feelings prevail here with regard to
the possible early settlement of^the
Near Eastern question. The demands
of the Cretans for annexation to
Greece and the protest in the Servian
government against the annexation of
Bosnia and Herzegovina have intro
duced further difficulties. These, it is
believed, will assuredly be finally
overcome by the British government,
but they ave delaying the negotiations.
Great Britain has no objection to the
annexation of Crete to Greece at the
proper time, if the Cretans so desire,
but she considers that the moment
chosen to bring about this ehange is
inopportune and she will oppose it.
With regard to Servia the foreign
office has ju*t received the Servian
note of protest and has not had time
to consider it. Servia, like the other
Balkan states, has just cause for com
plaint, but British officials do not take
a serious view of the reported threats
of precipitate war between Servia and
Bosnia and Herzegovina.
SITUATION VERY" STRAINED
Bulgaria Considers Latest Turkish
Communication "Insolent."
Paris, Oct. 9.—The Sofia correspond
ent of the Temps says in a dispatch
that King Ferdinand has summoned
the commander-in-chief of the Bui
garian army in conference.
The Bulgarian government consid
ers that the last communication re
ceived from the grand vizier of Tur
key is "insolent." The situation is
very strained, the correspondent says,
and great excitement prevails in Sofia
