Little Falls Transcript: Senator Brower told of a little incident in politics while in the city attending court. After the Haskell and other incidents in which the president was concerned, Seth Bul- lock, a South Dakota chum of the chief executive said: “The cam- paign is going now. I sent some doleful news to the president. I wanted Teddy to pass the tobasco sauce.” Ernest J. Holler of Littlefork is reported to have purchased the Big Falls Compass from A.

St. Petersburg, Oct. (—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 vention at Duluth, June 13, 1906, and was duly elected in Novem- ber of that year. Taking his po- sition when he was but_a few months past twenty-nine years | old, he occupied the unique posi- tion of being the youngest state treasurer, EAGER FOR WAR WITH AUSTRIA Servians Aroused by Francis Joseph’s Latest Move. RESERVES ARE CALLED OUT Ukase Just Published at Belgrade Summons One Hundred and Twenty Thousand Men to the Colors—Tele- grams From the Provinces Show Great Enthusiasm in Favor of Hos- tilities Against Austria-Hungary. Belgrade, Servia, Oct. .—A ukase calling out all the army reservists of the first class is published here. These reservists total 820,000 men. It is ex- plained officially that this step is taken because many time expired soldiers are to leave the ranks Oct. 14 and in view of the situation in neighboring Balkan states, and especially the in- flamed state of Servia itself, it has as chief of staff on the Compass. Holler is a fine fellow, and the Pioneer congratulates the people of Big Falls in securing a live, level- headed man to conduct the only paper in their town. Holler will undoubtedly make a hit with Big Falls people. Just what has become of the vitrolic, scrappy, vicious Oyler is not stated. Itis said that Oyler stated he was “‘going to a better clime”’—probably that “bourne” where they have no snow- balls. THE YOUNG AN N POLITICS Clarence D. Dinehart, State Treasurer, Is Interesting i Example. IS YOUNGEST STATE OFFICIAL Is a Graduate of the Minnesota Uni- versity—Climbed the Lad- der Rapidly. One of the most successful ex- amples of “the young man in politics” is to be found in Clar- ence C. Dinehart of Slayton, pres- ent state treasurer, and candidate for re-election on the Republican ticket. Though barely out of his twenties, he has already climbed the ladder to an eminent position of honor and responsibility, and made good. Clarence Christopher Dinehart was born in Chicago April 3, 1877. When seven years old he came to Minnesota with his par- ents, who located at Slayton, Murray county, where they have resided continuously since 1884. He attended the schools at Slay- ton, the Central high school, Min- neapolis, and graduated with honor from the University of Minnesota in 1899. During his college course he took special work in political economy and law, was editor-in-chief of The Gopher, a book issued each year by the junior class, and was se- lected business manager of the Minnesota Magazine, a senior monthly. He was an active mem- ber of the Y. M. C. A. and inter- ested in the various college ac- tivities. Returning to his home town, he was given a position in the State Bank of Slayton, and short- ly afterwards was elected assist- ant cashier. At the village elec- tion in the spring of 1902 he was chosen by the people of Slayton as president of the village council. During the time he held this of- fice municipal questions requiring tact, diplomacy and firmness arose and were met with marked executive ability. Law enforce- ment was an issue and was car- ried out successfully. In the fall of 1902 he resigned as president of the council and as assistant cashier of the bank to enter the law school of Harvard university, from which he gradu- ated in June, 1905. During the vacation months he renewed his affiliations with banking inter- ests, and upon the completion of the law course entered actively in the work of organizing and auditing a line of banks and land companies. In January of 1906 he became a candidate for state treasurer, and after an aggressive, affirmative EMPEROR FRANCIS JOSEPH OF AUSTRIA. been deemed advisable to fill up in ad- vance the vacancies thus to be cre- ated. Telegrams received here from the favor of a war against Austria-Hun- gery, for the reason that Emperor Francis Joseph’s proposal to annex the occupied provinces of Bosnia and Herzegovina threatens to hem in Ser- via on the west; furthermore, the ma- Jority of the population of Bosnia are Servians and they are bitterly opposed to annexation. APPEAL TO EUROPE. Young Turks Protest Against Action of Bulgaria. Salonika, European Turkey, Oct. [. —The committee of union and prog- ress, which organized and carried out the recent successful revolution in Turkey on the part of the Young Turks, has issued a proclamation in which it is set forth that the commit- tee regards the declaration of Bul- garian independence and the intention of Austria-Hungary to annex the occu- pled provinces of Bosnia and Herze- govina as a violation of the rights of Turkey. It therefore solemnly pro- tests in the name of humanity against the unfavorable attitude of Austria- Hungary and Bulgaria toward a people which is progressing in the direction of liberty. In conclusion the commit- tee appeals to Europe against “these attempts on the most sacred rights of the nation.” ACCEPTS TITLE OF KING. Bulgarian Parliament Offers Crown to Prince Ferdinand. Tirnovo, Bulgaria, Oct. '.—Immedi- ately after the proclamation of Bul- garian independence at the Cathedral of the Forty Martyrs-here Prince Fer- | dinand assumed the sovereignty of Bulgaria. The president of the so- branje, representing the national as- sembly, and the prime minister, repre- senting the government, then ad- dressed Ferdinand as “your majesty” and begged him to accept the laurel of glory as the first Bulgarian king. In reply Ferdinand said: “T accept the title of Bulgarian king offered me by the nation and the gov- ernment.” Favor Immediate Conference. Paris, Oct. .—It is announced that France and Great Britain are in com- plete accord on the principle of an immediate international conference to consider the Bulgarian situation. Rus- sia and Italy also are in favor of such a conference and even Germany is ex- ected .to adhere to the proposal. Fur- thermore, the latest advices from Con- stantinople indicate that the porte will accept the advice of France and Great Britain and await the result of this congress. Rejoicing in Roumelia. Philippopolis, Eastern . Roumelia, Oct. /—The official announcement df the independence of Bulgaria made ar Tirnovo by Prince Ferdinand has beer | enthusiastically received in this city, the capital of Eastern Roumelia. The church bells are ringing and large crowds, headed by bands, are parad- ing the streets and holding peaceful demonstrations in front of the various consulates. “Emperor” Ferdinand -is expected to arrive here shortly. ——— > " DEFECTIVE PAGE provinces show great enthusiasm in |, Minister of Foreign Affairs Tchary- koft 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 Bulgeria’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- tlons 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 criginal Bul- garian plan was to allow Austria-Hun- gary to take the iniiiafive in annexing Bosnia and Harzagovina and to pro- claim her independence while the at- tention of the 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 the historic act. TREASURER SHELDON AT WHITE HOUSE Says President Approves Man- agement of Campaign. ‘Washington, Oct. .—Treasurer Sheldon of the Republican national committee, after luncheon with the president, gave out the following state- ment: “The president asked me to come over and lunch or dine with him two or three weeks ago, but the duties of my position have made it impossible for me to come until now. “We went completely over the gen- eral situation. “On his authority as well as from my own knowledge I can say most positively that the relations between him and Mr. Hitchcock are of the closest and most friendly character, that Mr. Hitchcock has his entire con- fidence and that the president heartily approves of the manner in which Mr. Hitcheock is managing the campaign and. T may add, the-president is en- tirely confident of the result.” ATTENDANCE IS LARGE. Transmississippi Congress Meets at $San Francisco. San Francisco, Oct. .—The nive- teenth Transmississippi Commercial Congress, with a thousand or more delegates from the Western half of the United States attending, all of them men of high position in the af- fairs of the nation and of their re- spective states, began ijts five days’ session here with a display of enthu- slasm by the delegates that augurs well for a successful and interesting sessfon. Temporary Chairman J. B. Case of Abilene, Kan., called the dele- gates to order and in his opening re- marks pointed the way for the many rrominent speakers who are to follow him, dwelling at some length on the vast work that theve is to be done in the West in the way of conservation of natural resources and expansion of present industries to a far wider scope than has yet been attempted. Among the delegates were the rep- resentatives of eighteen states, four territories and six foreign countries, while the national government was also represented in the person of W. R. Wheeler, assistant secretary of commerce and labor. Mr. Bryan will not discuss the ques- tlon of negro disfranchisement in the south, but he hopes the northern ne- groes will vote for him without letting the south know anything about it.

Practically Decided That a Conference of the Interested Countries Will Be Called to Discuss the -Balkan Situa- tion and It Is Not Improbable That Action Will Be Taken in Support of Turkey’s Protest. Constantinople, Oct. .—The council of ministers held a long session to consider the action of Bulgaria in de: claring 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 for the treaty of Berlin. Replying to the telegram sent to the Turkish govermment 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 guaranteed 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. Paris, Oct. .—The hope that hos- | tilitles 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 Minister Pichon is continu- ing his conferences here. e talked { with M. Iswolsky, the Russian minis- ter of foreign affairs, and M. Stancioft, the diplomatic agent of Bulgaria, and later he conferred with the British, : Turkish, Italian and Spanish ambas- sadors. France believes in the necessity of 2 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. This virtually will amount to backing up Turkey’s pro- test and by saving the self-respect of the porte will act as a calming and restraining influence. Pursuant to this policy President Fallieres’ reply to Bmperor Francis Joseph will be courteous but non-com- mittal. In official circles it is pointed out that one of the strongest precedents against a single power disregarding the stipulations of a general treaty came from Austria-Hungary herself. ‘When the treaty of Paris of 1856 was revised in London in 1871 Austria- Hungary was loud in her protestation against Russia’s refusal longer to abide by the provisions relative to the Black sea.

POWers at Constantimoplo A the sit. | ‘%ation a difficult one, because the con- trol of affairs does mot rest altogether with the cabinet of the Young Turks, but partially with the powerful coms mittee of Young Turks outside the cahinet. Ofticial ‘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 18 merely & paper change. No material interests will be involved provided Bulgarfa gives up her control of the Oriental raflroad in Eastern Roumelia, a8 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. .—The Bulgarian charge d’affaires, M. de Breft, officlally 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 her alms Were_eminently peaceful.
