Do the farmers want to reated any better than thy have been during the past 12 years? Don't they know when they hav a good thing?

TO ENFORCE BERLIN TREATY Empire Casts Greedy Eyes on Bos nia and Herzegovnla, but Ciar's Veto Is Expected to Stop Possible Aggression. ST. PETERSBURG. Sept. 28. Intima tion from Vienna that Austria-Hungary Is preparing to raise the question of an nexation for the provinces of Bosnia and Herzegrovnia. which together form an ap panage of the Austro-Hungarian mon archy, although nominally included In the Turkish Empire, have met with ex pressions of the strongest disapproval of the Russian newspapers. It Is learned from an authoritative source that the Russian government will object to any effort to incorporate these two provinces In the dual monarchy or any other infraction of the status quo under the Berlin treaty. For this reason Russia will oppose the Idea of recognition of Prince Ferdinand of Bulgaria as an Independent sovereign, which has been revived In connection with the late developments In the Near East. The Russian veto undoubtedly will put a quietus on both projects. The Russian Ambassador at Constan tinople telegraphs that the Porte has re ferred the railways dispute in Bulgaria to the signatories of the Berlin treaty for settlement and It la thought here that this will greatly lessen the chances of a collision between Turkey and Bulgaria over this question. fleers: President, Wendall Barber, Eu gene; vice-president.
