RECALLS HER SPECIAL ENVOY Bulgaria Orders Agent in Turkey to Return. DENIES RUMORED BREAK New Government Insists That Nego- tiations With Constantinople Have Not Been Terminated but Only In- terrupted to Permit Its Represanta- tive to Report in Person to the Home Officials. Sofia, Bulgaria, Oct. 2.—The gov- ernment has ordered M. Dimitroff, its special envoy to Constantinople, to return here for new instructions. This has given rise to fears that the Turco-Bulgarian negotiations looking to a settlement of the trouble that has arisen from Bulgaria’s sudden dec- laration of independence have become futile; but the government insists that these negotiations have not been broken; that they have only been in- terrupted to permit the envoys to re- port adequately in person. Since the beginning of the crisis neither state has transmitted any messages in cipher. M. Dimitroff has been able to send only fragmentary open dispatches. Replying to the question whether Bulgaria intended to resume the nego- tiations with Turkey Foreign Minis- ter Poprikoff said he hoped so, but he explained that M. Dimitroff's mis- sion was practically over. He was sent to Constantincple primarily as a peace scont to reconnoifer the ground. We publish the complete formulas of all medicines.

Count "Phutn, ‘the dipiomate agent here of Austria-Hungary, had a long conference. with M. Poprikoff. At the conclusion of his talk he said the prospects for peace were good, in spite of this hitch in the negotiations. It is the opinion of the count that Bul- garia eventually will consent to pay a moderate sum, about $12,000,000, to Turkey in lieu of tribute. MAY REACH SETTLEMENT. Turkish View of Negotiations With . Bulgaria, Constantinople, Oct. 2 .—The en- voys sent here by Bulgaria to discuss declaration of independence have left Constantinople for Sofia, wjere they will report the result of their conver- sations with the grand vizier. In spite of some divergence of views it is ex- pected " that official negotiations be- tween the two states soon will be opened. In the meanwhile a principle has been decided upon for the settle- ment of the questfon of the East Rou- melian railroad. This will be accom- plished by a mixed Turco-Bulgarian cemmission. The porte continues to maintain the view that the question of the annexa- tion of Bosnia and Herzegovina is a matter. which concerns Europe and that its discussion cannot be excluded from the proposed international con- gress. MONTGOMERY ON TRIAL. Pittsburg Cashier Shows Effect of Confinement. Pittsburg, Oct. 2).—William Mont- gomery, formerly cashier of the wrecked Allegheny National bank of this city, was placed on trial before Judge James S. Young in the United States district court on charges of embezzlement, abstraction and misap- plication in which $469,000 is involved. Former Judge Stone, Attorney E. Y, WILLIAM MONTGOMERY. Breck and Montgomery’s brother rep- resent the cashier, while United States District Attorney Dunkle is the prosecutor. Since the failure of the bank re- cently for over $1,000,000 Montgom- ery has been in jail under bail of $160,000. He was brought to the court- house pale and nervous. GOMPTROLLER HAD GRITICISED BANK Letters Read at Trial of Morse : and Curtis, New York, Oct. 2 .—At the day’s session of the United States district court, Judge Hough presiding, in the trial of C. W. Morse and A. H. Curtis for alleged violation of the national banking laws, United States District Attorney Stimson read a large num- ber of letters passing between the comptroller of the currency and Pres- ident Curtis of the National Bank of North America, relative to the bank’s loans. The tenor of all the comptrol- ler’s letters was that Mr. Curtis and the bank were permitting the concern to be used by its officers and directors in financing their outside enterprises. He specifically called attention to a loan of $183,000 to the Hudson Navi- gation company, another of $193,000 to the Consolidated Steamship lines and one of $192,000 to Oakleigh Thorne, wkich was discounted by Mr. Morse. The comptroller said he did not think these loans were in keeping with good banking and he said also that the bank was loaning oo freely on collateral of companies in which Mr. Morse was interested. To this Mr. Curtis replied, according to a letter read by Mr. Stimson, that the bank felt its security was ample and that Mr. Morse was financially able to pro- tect any loans he was behind and called attention to the fact that Mr. Morse was then neither a director nor an officer of the steamship company referred to. The exchange of letters between the comptroller and the officers of the bank continued up to the time of ehe panic last October. In the last four (letters which he wrote the comptrol- ler, in rather curt language, demand- ed the immediate payment of some of the paper in the bank, a reduction of the amount of securities in the Morse enterprises which was held as collat- eral and strangthening of the collat- eral behind certain other loans. “This is a vast country,” says Mr. Bryan. Yes, it is big enough to fur- nish burial ground for all of Mr. Bry- an’s collection of dead paramounts. Two Dead and Five Injured.

J., Oct. 2 .—In his travels through New Jersey W. J. Bryan was greeted by immense, cheer- ing crowds. Previous to entering the state he spoke at Wilmington, Del., jand West Philadelphia. At the laiter place he referred to the fact that he was in fine physical condition and that his voice was holding out better than those of the Republican speakers because he was mnot putting any .ragged arguments throngh his throat. Following the Delaware river into Northern New Jersey the Democratic candidate got much amusement out of President Roosevelt’s letter on the labor question by telling the people that the president has “butted into the campaign again” and deposed Presi- dent Samuel Gompers as head of the American TFederation of Labor and substituted for him Senator Knox of Pennsylvania, At Frenchtown he talked to a farm- er audience and, discussing the trust question, said that in view of the claims of the Republican-party for the prosperity of the farmer he expected they would “now have a trust on the sun and a meter on the clouds, with a charge of so much for each shower.” TAFT AT INDIANAPOLIS. End of Second Day’s Campaigning in 7 That State. Indianapolis, Oct. 2 .—William H. Taft concluded the second day of his Indiana tour at a monster rally in this city.

At Lafayette, while riding to the speakers’ Stand, Judge Taft had this note thrust into his hand by a well dressed man: “Mr. Taft: Twelve years ago I drove a mortgaged mule to this city to hear Mr. Bryan speak. Today I came in my own automobile to hear you. Can you guess who I am going to vote for?” Factory Output Increasing. New. York, Oct. 2l.—Dispatches 2 Dun’s Trade Review indicate a re- markably well sustained volume of business, considering the fact that election is So near.

VERY FRIENDLY TO HILL. Kaiser Devotes Much Time to Amer- ican Ambassador. Berlin, Oct. 2 .—Emperor William has attracted the attention of the dip- lomatic corps by his recent atten- tions to David Jayne Hill, the Amer- fcan ambassador. It is probable that the purpose of his majesty has been to remove all doubts, if any existed, regarding Mr. Hill's welcome at the German court. During the court festivities in con- nection with the wedding of Prince August William and Princess Alexan- dra the emperor was particularly cor- dial to Dr. Hill and at the gala opera performance recently the emperor asked that Dr. Hill come to him and then spoke with the ambassador for scme time. The same evening Prince Henry sought out Dr. Hill and talked with him about thelr experiences in America together. SHOT ON BRIDAL TOUR.!

James mur- dered C. A. Ballard, a well known rail- road engineer, on the night of July 3 last. This crime was largely respon- sible for precipitation of the recent fatal race riot in the city. THORNE IN' POLICE COURT Member of Parliament Gives Bond for Good Behavior. London, Oct. 24—The case of Will- iam James Thorne, Socialist-Demo- cratic member of the house of com- mons, against whom a writ was issued last week charging that he had in- clted to a breach of the peace by making a speech in which he advised the unemployed to “rush” the baker shops rather than starve, came up in the Bow street police court. Thorne was ordered by the magistrate to find sureties for his good -behavior for a year or go to jail for six months. Peter F. Curran and James O’Grady, fellow members of the house of com- mons, furnished the required bonds for Mr. Therne.

Coffeyville, Kan., Oct. 24—The flood situation in Southern Kansas is not improved. North of Coffeyville the Verdigris river continues to rise and lacks only a foot of the high mark of 1890, which was the highest known for twenty-five years. Many persons have been compelled to leave their homes in the north, east and south- eastern parts of Coffeyville, where the land is low. Forest park is covered with two feet of water. . All the way from Neodeska and In- dependence south to Coffeyville the Verdigris has spread out until it cov- ers thousands of acres of farm lands, doing vast damage to corn in the flelds. The Missouri Pacific was the only railroad that was able to bring a train into Coffeyville. The Missouri, Kan sas and Texas tracks northeast of this city and the Santa Fe tracks between here and Liberty are both so deep under water that mno trains can get through. THOUSANDS WITHOUT FUEL Gas Main Into Muskogee, Okla, Is Washed Out.

Rain has been falling along its valley almost constantly for seventy-two hours. Bar- tlesville is cut off from communica- tion with the outside world except by interurban electric line service. The railroad bridge across the Caney river has been greatly damaged by the flood. North Bartlesville is under four feet of water. ‘TUCKER'S SIDE OF STORY Attorney for Army Officer Discusses the Case. Chicago, Oct. 24.—Iieutenant Colc- nel W. F. Tucker’s side of the matri- monfal discord which has been ex- ploited so much in the press of the country was told for the first time by his attorney, Leo J. Doyle. Mr. Doyle charged that the activity of Mrs. Tucker in the courts was due to a desire to force her husband to give her money or its equivalent. He said that he spoke for publication with sincere regret, but that since so many and such wry accounis of the matrimonial differences of the Tuck- ers had been published he felt called upon to bold a brief for the other side. Ho affirmed flatly that the siits against Colonel Tucker in the munic- ipal court were not dismissed by Mrs. Tucker’s attorney because of any scruples against prosecuting a sick man, but that, on the contrary, the action was prompted by unwillingness to face certain revelations. He said further that during the time that the colonel’s duties had kept him in Chi- cago Mrs. Tucker had continued to Hve in Washington and that, there- fore, the charge of desertion, which she is setting up, s absurd on its face. LAKE STEAMER ASHORE. Crew and Passengers Taken Off by Lifesavers, Racine, Wis., Oct. 24.—The passen- ger steamer Marquette, plying be- tween Kenosha, Waukegan and Chi- cago, went on the beach one and a half miles south of Kenosha during a northeast gale. On account of a haze the crew lost their bearings. The Ke- nosha lifesaving crew went to the steamer and took the crew and seven passengers safely to shore, there be- ing fear that the boat would go to pleces on account. of the increasing seas and storm. A tug went out from Kenosha and after pulling on the boat for several hours succeeded in releasing the steamer and towed her to the Keno- sha harbor. The vessel is leaking considerably. p?
