SUBSCRIPTION---$5.00 PER ANNUM —_— ALLEN SHOULD PUT UP OR SHUT UP: “Old Allen,” who is rapidly losing what little sense the Lord ordained him with by his yelps at the Pioneer and the attempt to draw attention through taxes, using on the street such gentle terms as ‘“‘robber,” “thief,” “crooked,” etc, says in the Sentinel of yesterday: ““The Pioneer had cramps Thurs- day evening and devoted much space to the Editor of this paper, will see you later.” Yes, you “will see us later.” We will “see” you any time, Colonel, and go you one better. We are still waiting, at the other end of the ’phone, to cover any amount you are ready to ‘‘see” relative to the respective circulations of the Pioneer and tbe Sentinel, Now put up, old man, or shut up your everlasting bazooing on the streets and in the business places of the city to the effect that the circulation of your “rag” is larger than that of the Pioneer. In making this statement you prevaracate, Allen, and you know you do. Come on with your money. Detroit Record: It is a well recognized fact that Congressman Steenerson has attended to the interests of his constituents at Washington in such a manner as to merit for him the cordial support of the people of his district. = We believe there are few members of the house who have gone so far out of their way to give personal attention to the wishes of the people of his -district as has Mr. Steenerson, and doubtless the vote of Nov. 3rd will show conclusively that such service is appreciated. “Wisdom and moral courage are the two qualities which make a great pres- ident,” declares Mr. Roosevelt. He has proved that he possesses both Judge Taft exhibited both when on the bench and when secretary of war, and he will carry both into the White House. ARRIVES OFF THE COAST OF JAPAN American Battleship Flest Is Ahoad of Time. Tokio, Oct. 11 .—The American bat- tleship fleet, somewhat in advance of its schedule, has been sighted by the Japanese war vessels sent to convey a friendly greeting and a wireless message received here reports that Admiral Sperry, his officers and the enlisted men were witnessing the maneuvers of the Japanese vessels off the island of Kiushiu, in Southeastern Japan. The Connecticut, the flagship of Admiral Sperry, had taken a posi- tion to one side and was witnessing the maneuvers. The warships are de- scribed as all being in splendid condi- tion. It was not expected that the Amer- fcan vessels would be sighted this early. The fleet will make its official entry into Yokohama harbor Saturday morning. Messages of greeting have been sent-out by wireless telegraphy. ALL JAPAN IS ASTIR. Eagerly Awaiting Arrival of American Battleship Fleet. Tokio, Oct. 1l—All Japan is astir in anticipation of the arrival of the American battleship fleet. Yokohama and Tokio in particular are given over to enthusiastic preparation. The dec- orations in these cities are so exten- sive and general as to be remarkable, not only in Japan but in any country of the world that awaited a naval call by the fleet of another power. All the Japanese newspapers of prominence are printing editions in English, with lengthy editorials assuring the Amer- ican officers and sailors of a hearty ‘welcome by the nation. Every available vessel in the har- bor of Yokohama has been chartered to convey excursionists to meet the warships on their approach, The American ambassador and his staff will meet the fleet aboard a special steamer and the members of the American commission to the Japanese exposition will have another. A third vessel has been chartered by the dele- gation of Pacific coast business men which arrived here several days ago. Absentees Recalled for Duty, London, Oct. 1/,—All the men of the home fleet absent from their ships on Hberty have been suddenly recalled. Insomuch as the reason for this has not yet been ascertained the order has caused considerable excitement. Veteran of Two Wars. Greensburg, Pa, Oct. 1}—Major General Richard = Coulter, eighty-one years old,-a veteran of the Mexican and Civil wars, a lawmaker and 2 prominent business man, died here. THE BEMIDJ! DAILY PIONEER| PLAN T0 SETTLE BALKAN DISPUTE England, Russia and France Agree on Programme. HAKES EIGHT PROPOSALS Independence of Bulgaria Is Recog- nized and the International Confer- ence of the Powers Is to Fix Tur- key's Compensation—Same Action Is Taken Regarding the Annexation of Crete to Greece. London, Oct. 13—Great Britain, Russia and France have reached an agreement on a programme to be sub- mitted to the other powers as a basis for discussion by the proposed Euro- pean conference to settle the Balkan situation. The proposals to be laid be- fore the powers are eight in number. The first is to the effect that art- cles 1 to 22 of the treaty of Berlin, which relate to Bulgaria and Eastern Roumelia, shall be replaced by stipu- lations recognizing.the independence of Bulgaria as at present constituted and determining the financial obliga- tions of Bulgaria toward Turkey. New clauses probably will settle also thé question of the Oriental railway. The second and third proposals are that the powers shall take note of the annexation by Austria-Hungary of Bos- nia and Herzegovina and the return of the sanjak of Novipazar to Turkey. The fourth article relates to Crete. It réplaces article 23 of the treaty of Berlin by clauses recognizing the an- nexation of Crete to Greece and de- termining the financial obligations of Greece, in respect to Crete, toward Turkey. It is understood that the four powers under whose protection Crete has been, Russia, Great Britain, 'France and Italy, will settle the Cre- tan question in concert with Turkey before referring it to the conference. It is proposed also that the second part of article 23 of the Berlin treaty, which provides special regulations for the government of other parts of Euro- pean Turkey, shall cease to have force when the powers are assured that a satisfactory setilement is effected. Same Arrangement for Armenia. The fifth proposal is to the effect that arrangements similar to the above shall apply to the Armenian provinces of Turkey. v The sixth article deals with Monte- negro. The Montenegrin rights of sov- ereignty are limited by article 29 of the treaty of Berlin. It is proposed that articles 26 to 33 inclusive of the Berlin treaty shall be condensed to a single article abrogating all the re- strictions imposed by the treaty under the original article 29, which it is pro- posed to sweep away. The seventh point in the programme is the statement that it is desirable to seek and give compensation to Servia and Montenegro by a rectification of the Bosnian and Herzegovinian fron- tiers adjoining Novipazar. This is taken to imply that a strip will be taken from the territory annexed by Austria-Hungary. The eighth proposal concerns the river Danube and declares it is desir- able to revise the regulations govern- ing Danube traffic so as to give larger rights to the states bordering on the river. The eight articles of the programme are followed by a declaration that as the new Ottoman constitution fore- shedows a reorganization in conform- ity with the principles of other Euro- pean states the powers are prepared to consider in concert with Turkey, 80 soon.as these reforms are realized, the best means of dolng away with capitulations. It is declared also that this occasion could be taken to con- sider the abolition of the postoffices now maintained by foreign powers in Turkey. TREATY RIGHT ABOLISHED Foreigners in Bulgaria Under Jurisdic- tion of Local Courts. Sofla, Bulgaria, Oct. 1.l.—A disagree- able impression has been produced in diplomatic circles here by a circular note from the Bulgarian minister of Justice which orders that in the future the subjects of foreign powers in Bul- garia shall be treated on the same basis as natives; in other words, they are no longer to enjoy the inter- ediary of their own consuls, The olrcular sets forth that the declara- tion of Bulgarian independence on Oct. 6 has annulled the so called capitula- tlons which exempted foreigners from the jurisdiction of the local courts. The diplomatic representative of one of the great powers described this circular as a “high handed action,” ‘which the powers would vigorously op- pose. This tendency of Bulgaria to extricate herself from treaty obliga- tions in ways that are not popular, he added, will lead the powers to insist upon the retention of the capitula- tions for a definite period as one of the conditions of the recognition of Bulgarian independence.

To conceal this alléged un- lawful transaction, Mr. Stimson said, fictitious loans were entered on" the bank’s books. It has developed that all ;the wit- nesses for the government who are to testify at the Morse-Curtis-trial are bheing kept under surveillance by a ccrps of secret service men. Admits Taking Democratic Funds. Lincoln, Neb., Oct. 16.—In the police court Clarence F. Broad, substitute mail carrier in the employ of the Lin- coln postoffice, confessed that he had taken letters addressed to William J. Bryan’s newspaper and containing funds for the Democratic campaign fund. Broad admitted taking eleven letters Monday. Letters have been missed for several months. PEAGE OF GHINA AND JAPAN THREATENED Troops of the Two Nations Clash in Korea, Beoul, Korea, Oct. 1. —Serious com- plications affecting the peace of China and Japan threaten as the result of an engagement between Chinese and Japanese troops at Kantao, Northern Korea, in which several were killed or wounded. The refusal of the Chinese war office to permit the pursuit of a detachment of soldiers, who are said to have been the aggressors, may re- sult in the crossing of the frontier by Japanese troops. Chinese soldiery are reported to have opened hostilities by firing upon a police station occupied by the Japa- nese troops, who were sent into Kan- tao as a guard for the Koreans resi- dent there. The fighting that ensued lasted several hours and while the ex- act number of casualties is not ob- tainable there were a number killed or wonnded. The commander of the Japa- nese garrison immediately called upon China for permission to cross the fron- tler into Chinese territory and pursue the assallants, who appear to have been worsted in the engagement. The request was refused by the war office. The Japanese foreign office has made representations to the govern- ment at Peking and the situation is beginning to assume a serious aspcet. { It is intimated that unless China takes prompt action satisfactory to the Japa- nese government the latter may take the initiative and cross the frontier in order to afford protection to the Koreans. end District Attorney Stimsofl began |* hildren- Beeking Employment. e L New: York, Oct. 13.—More than twice as many children are se€king employment this fall than sought it last fall'and there has been a decided talling’ off in marriages, according to the records compiled:by the health de-’ partment.- In September last year 1,300 children fourteen years.old ap- lied for certificates that they might ecome. bread. winners.
