The Koreign office officials made it clear to him that Great Britain has taken no action of this character, and it appears as 1f Italy will also refrain from carrying out its decislon to dispatch warships to Turkey, @s the ltalian embassy says no notice of their departure has yet been received. This §s taken by the embessy to indicate that there have been developments making the step Inadivisable or unnecessary at the present moment, perhaps because of the Turkish acceptance of the Russian demands. which was confirmed at the Turkish em- bassy.

Although the general expectation Is that A verdict xfll be reached tonight, the court officials belleve that the advocate general will reply to Maitre Labori, leading counsel for the defense, thus postponing | the verdict until tomorrow. Among those who had reserved places near the judges today was Senora Castro, wife of the president of Venezuela, who was accom- panied by the Venegulean minister. Maitre Labori continued his address for the defense, urging the larger creditors had acted through attorneys, who should be held responsible, while the small credi- tors would have been pald if the rente viagree had not been wrecked through the premature prosecution of the Humberts.

OTTAWA, Ont, Aug. ¥.—The report of the Royal Labor commission, appginted to Investigate the industrial troubl in Brit- ish Columbia, has been published. One of the strikes under investigation was that of the Canadian Pacific rafllroad men of the western division. The report says the men were organised by the Brother- hood of Rallway Employes, which is char- acteriged as a “Secret society, bound to- gether with a strong oath and under con- trol of a forelgn executive.” The brotherhood’s headquarters are in San Francisco. The chief organizer for the brotherhood In Canada, the report says, #old his services to the rallroad, together with a confidential letter he had received from the president of the order. The or- ganizer also acted as one of the railroad company’'s secret service men while still at the head of the Canadlan branch of the order. The report condemns international organ- izations of labor, which may at any time place Canadian workingmen under control of an American executive, and It is rec- ommended that such orders be declared legal.
