I' ro posed new rates, instead of low ering tariff to intermountain point to bring them within the ruling or the commission, are made to conform to the relative requirement of the de cision by raisingthe rate to the (Vjast. For example, after November 1 it will cost $14 more to ship first class freight from New York to San Fran cisco and other 1'acific Coast points. Two months ago the commission, construing the amended long ami short-haul section, decided that from the Missouri river to interior points the rate might be no higher than to Pacific Coast terminals. from Chi cago it might be 7 per cent higher, from Pittsburg 15 to 25 per cent.

Italian Squadron Blockades Port of Tripoli, Which Refuses to Sur render onDemand. Iondon A state of war exist be tween Italy and Turkey, and hostili ties have begun. No sooner had the time limit fixed by the ultimatum ex pired than, ignoring the Turkish con ciliatory request for delay, Italy de clared war. The Turkish representa tives in Italy received their passport. The Turkish commander at Tripoli waa asked to surrender the town, but 1 -V- 1; f , I Klae Vlrtor Knaiaaaal. sf Italy. declined, and the Italian forces imme diately occupied Tripoli and lienghazi. Apparently the Turks ottered no resis tance, but thia is only an assumption, as immediately on landing the Italians evidently seized the telegraph linea. A Constantinople dispatch make no fleet ha blockaded the Tripolitan coast. There are unconfirmed report that Turkey intend to send an ultimatum to Greece to abandon ber claim on Crete and ia massing troop on the Thessalonian frontier. The greatest activity ensued on the receipt of news that war had been declared and notification of a blockade wa sent out. It is uudentood the var ious governments will receive the cus tomary neutrality notice and will de vote their diplomatic elforta to bring hostilities to an end and especially to avoiding complication in the Balkans. U fT ' : $ tJhatXxaw. a"'- lhtke of Abrassi. According to Italian advices, the government plans to land 40,000 men in Tripoli by October 7. No bombard ment will be attempted unlesa the property of Italians or other foreign ers is endangered. It is understood the Italian ministers have elaborated a scheme for the administration of Tripoli with the Duke of Abruzzi as first governor. Among the first acta of the new government will be the abolition of many taxes now imposed on the Tripolitans. Prevesa When Italian gunboat en countered two Turkish transports with 2,000 troops aboard, the transports de termined not to be captured. They steamed bravely on the rocks off Pre- , vesa and hundreds of soldier were ' drowned. r r ( JXCtC - W -Uy aa Trr,i I . r r r o ly ) y ft ITALIAN CRUISERS SUNK. mention of resistance and a mere pro test by the governor would be in line with Turkey' announced policy.

Italian battleship are re ported to have appeared off Smyrna and Salonika. An Italian cruiser landed troops at Prevesa, after destroying Turkish torpedo boat destroyer, and the Italian Salonika An Italian cruiser has destroyed a Turkish destroyer in the harbor of Prevesa in Epirus and land ed troops. .The Turkish authorities are sending a battalion oftroops to Prevesa.

Pari The Matin' Athena corres pondent says that the telegraph offi cials at Vonitza, Greece, telegraphs to the government that a naval battle oc curred off Prevesa at 2 o'clock in the afternoon. Tripoli The Italian squadron which has been standing in the offing came close to shore this morning and the destroyer Garibaldi steamed into the harbor flying a white flag. After re connoitering, the destroyer demanded the surrender of the entire garrison. The Turkish commander replied that he wa unable to comply with the de mand and emphatically refused to sur render. The destroyer then retired and rejoined the fleet. "Turkey Will Do Her Duty." Belleport, I I. The Turkiih am baasador, Zia Pasha, expressed aston ishment when informed at hie summer home Saturday that Italy had declared a state of war between Italy and Tur key. Zia Pasha said: "lam deeply pained to learn that Italy has declared war upon my country. Turkey has done everything to avoid war, but now that war has corne, you may rest as sured that Turkey will not hesitate to do ber duty." Italiara Enthused By War. Chiasso, Switzerland Dispatches from larger Italian cities tell of much enthusiasm over the expedition to Tripoli, the regiments composing which are now centered at various ports. All the officers have volun teered for service, but those who will take part in the expedition are to be chosen by lot. Larger contingent of troops and carabineer are occupying the more riotous district. The Ital ian fleet I expected to have occupied the whole coast from Tripoli through Benghaxl to Derna by Sunday. Woman Convict Boyar. Tacoma Reginald H. Boyer, alia Fagin, who is alleged by the police to have been conducting school for crime, teaching young boy to ateal, waa convicted of grand larceny in the Superior Court by a jury, the majority of whom were women. He waa spe cifically charged with short changing an old man out of $80. The jury was out but five minutes, finding him guil ty a charged. The verdict waa unan Vigorous Sea Fighting In Progress on Mediterranean, London The Daily Chronicle's Con stantinople correspondent saya; "New of both disaster and victory reached the capital Monday. The fighting spirit of the Turk is rising to fanatical height. "A wireless message to the admir alty say that two Italian cruisers have been sunk off an unnamed point in the archipelago. It ia preumed that the torpedo boat had a hand in this affair. "Rigorous precautions are being taken to thwart the movement of the Italian fleet in th archipelago. "An excited crowd at Stamboul at tacked the Italian post office. "An Italian steamer, with a valu able cargo, has been captured near the entrance to the Bosphorus. It is rumored that Prevasa, in European Turkey, has been taken by the Ital ians and aeveral Turkish ships without coal have been seized. .Close secrecy is observed as to the movement of the Turkish warships and the news papers are forbidden to publish any news. "Much is hoped for from interven tion by the power, but it is reported thaf the sultan's personal appeal to the king of England has elicited a re ply to the effect that it is too late for the powers to take any such political action a Turkey desires. "An eloquent commentary on the indolence of the former cabinet ia the sight of several Turkish warships still lying idle in the Golden Horn. The opinion is held in some quarter that Turkey will not be able to hold out for long; thi despite the intense de sire of the people to fight to the last. "Volunteers are enrolling them selves in great numbers in many places. "All around the frontiers i unrest and hasty preparation. Turkey's chronic trouble, the Jack of ready money, has become acute. She is facing the war with a ridiculously small sum in the treasury. The Otto man public debt institution ha been asked to provide $50,000,000, but it ha informed the government that there i no more money available. Therefore, the nation is going to war with about $5,000,000." TAFT SPECIAL IN FLOOD. Track Lifted on Jack to Carry President's Train Safely. Omaha President Taft arrived here Sunday from Sedalia, Mo., 11 hours late, after a somewhat perilous trip over the flood-damaged railroads. The Taft train wa caught in the center of a storm in Northwestern Kansas and Eastern Nebraska, where it was estimated eight inches of water fell. Creeks were turned into tor rents, river overflowed and railraod travel waa impeded in all directions. Several small bridges were swept away and In the early forenoon a por tion of the tracks over which the pres ident traveled were covered with more than a foot of water. Section-handa along the Missouri Pacific system were ordered out by the hundreds. In several place the tracks were lifted on jacks from the muddy waters and propped upon piles to cross ties. To bold these in place many tons of rock were dumped into the roadbed. It was by far the most dangerous railroading situation the president baa been in during any of hi travels. Mr. Taft did not seem to mind the inconveniences or the danger in the least, although expressing the regret that the program arranged for him in Omaha had to be abandoned. His was the first train to get out of the flooded district. At Vernon, Neb., the president's train passed two other train headed for the South, but held up by the storm. Strike Test is On. Chicago Railroad officials and shop men on the Harriman lines who struck Saturday to enforce their demands for recognition of the newly organized shop federation, passed Sunday in preparation for the struggle, which has now begun in earnest. The walk out, occurring before the Saturday half holiday, gave the railroads a full day and a half in which to make prep aration to run the shops, and it was said that in many of the shops virtual ly a full force of men would be at work Monday morning. Turkey Would Avoid War. Constantinople It is officially con firmed that the Italian aquadon has bombarded Prevasa. It is announced from Janina that two Italian warship bombarded the port of Reschadie and the torpedo boats lying in that harbor. one of which waa damaged. The Ital ian ships entered the port and shelled the town, aeveral houses being struck. Later they entered Porte Muste, tak ing the captain of the port and three boatmen prisoners. Air Hose Cut on 14 Cars. Tracey, Cal. Air hose on 14 freight car was found cut here shortly before an eastbound train pulled out. A re ward of $500 for information leading to the arrest of the men who did the work ha been offered by E. E. Calvin, vice-president and general manager of the Southern Pacific railroad. Italians Want To Fight. San Francisco Five hundred Ital ian living in thi city have notified the Italian consul that they are ready to return to their native land for mil itary duty. A cablegram to this effect was sent King Victor Emman uel. The volunteers are willing to pay their own expenae. DAM COLLAPSES; 800 ARE DEAD Austin and Costello, Pa., Over whelmed by Rushing Water Breaking Gas Main Add Fire to Hor or of Scene Victims Mostly Women and Children. Austin, Pa. Austin, a town of 3,- 000 resident in the' northern part of this state, waa swept out' of existence Saturday and more than 800 of it people were killed by a flood which followed the breaking of the Bayles Pulp & Paper company's dam, a mile an! a balf north of the town. Half a billion gallons of water rushed over the place in a wall ten feet high, wrecking every structure in it path. fear that the town of Costello, also in the path of the flood, had been des troyed, was confirmed by later report. Costello was a settlement of from 35 to 40 houses, and only half a dozen houses are left standing. The town of Wharton is reported to be safe. In Austin the bursting of score of natural gaa mains as the buildings were swept away added horror to the flood and many imprisoned in the wreckage were burned to death. The contents of the dam, which was filled to overflowing by the heavy rains of two week, swept through a natural gorge in which Austin and Costello are situated. While many resident of Austin es caped to the hills, the warning given by the blast of the Baylesa mill whistle was too brief for hundreds of others. The catastrophe paralleled in many respects the destruction by flood of Johnstown, Pa., in 1889, in which more than 2,800 live were lost. The extent of the loss of life and the destruction of property cannot be known for several days. The proper ty loss will be several million dollar. Within an hour of the first genera knowledge of the calamity, special train bearing physicians, nurses and food supplies were on the way to the scene. Hundreds ol automobiles bear ing rescuer toiled over the mountain roads to lend aid. Temporary hospitals were fitted up in the nearby farm houses and impro vised structure fashioned from the wreckage. The Red Cross also made preparations for immediate aid to sur vivors. 1 he intense neat 01 trie nrea sweeping from the natural gas mains made it impossible for survivors to visit the scene of destruction for many hours. Looters were among the first on the ground and Governor Tener dispatched a large force of state police to the town to protect the victims. FLEET REPORTED SUNK. Constantinople Reports Disaster to Ships in Aegean Sea. Constantinople The report has been received here that substantially the entire fleet of the Ottoman empire has been annihilated by the Italians near Chies, an island in the Aegean sea. So far as official news is concerned, it is confined to the report of the sink ing of two Turkish torpedo boats, the Alpagut and the Hamid Abad, off Prevesa, by the Italian squadron com manded by the Duke d'Abruzzi. The further report, also received here, that Greece is mobilizing troops, is adding to the feeling of alarm. It is realized that if these reports are true there is justification for the be lief that the war is likely not to be localized, as Italy had promised the powers, and that the dismemberment of the Turkish empire has, in fact, been begun. The decision, which it waa recently announced that the government had reached, not to defend Tripoli, but to make an appeal to the powers after a showing of force that would make the inequality of the combat apparent, ia said fto have been reversed, and the newspaper announce that the minis ter of war, Mahmout Shefket Pasha, has sent word to the Turkish com mander at Tripoli to defend the place with all the resource at bit com mand. Lumbermen Deny Wrong. New York The answer of the East ern State Retail Lumber Dealers' as sociation and other defendant in the government' suit for the dissolution of the lumber trust, complained of as an alleged combination in restraint of interstate trade, ha beed fined in the United States Circuit court. The defendants assert that the act com plained of amount to no more than that the defendant had complained of tale and quotation on lumber made by wholesaler to retail consum er in competition with defendant. Flyer Crostt Rockie. Helena, Mont. Cromwell Dixon, the aviator, wa successful in hi at tempt to cross the main range of the Rocky mountaina Sunday afternoon. Flying in a Curtiss bi-plane, he left the state fair grounds at 2 o'clock, and rising immediately to an altitude of 7.000 feet, started straight west for Blossburg, 45 mile away, where he arrived at 2:34.
