Balleva Hi Country Should Yield Tripoli to Italy Kome Convinced that the only poa aible way that Turkey could aave ft government from disgrace wato cede Tripoli to Italy, Kechid I'asha refuaed to accept the portfolio of Foreign Affair In the new Turkish cabinet. Thia I the explanation given out by hia frienda here. It la announced that hia colleagues disagreed over the pro gramme that Kechid I'asha submitted for a aettlement with Italy. Demonstrationa in honor of King Victor Fmmanuel aa he proceeded from San Hosmire to Naples for a farewell to the troop embarking for Tripoli Indicate that the war contin ue isipular. Most of the bishop have directed the clergy to urge their congregation to pray for the ucce of the Italian army. It I understood here that the pow er will make representations at Con atantinople, notifying Turkey that Itay, with a view to avoiding very grave complications, haa agreed to limit the war to Tripoli. A circular note from the Turkish government asking the powers whether they consider that the time has arrived to aeek a basis for negotiation look ing to peace between Turkey and Italy, and under what conditions, has been presented to the German foreign ollire at Ilerlin. The note contem plates the cession of Tripoli to Italy under certain conditions. The Italian torpedo boat destroyer Horea arrived at Malta escorting a steamship with prisoners of war from Tripoli. The Itritish officials decided to re fuse the Italian vessel a supply of pro visions. The prisoner include Turkish offi cials and the crew of a torpedo boat destroyer w hich surrendered at Tripoli. TURKEY IS SUING FOR PEACE Italy to Increase Term If War I Prolonged Ixmdon Most of the correspondents are united in the opinion that Turkey is renewing her elTorts to secure peace, but they differ as to the pro cedure to be followed whether by ar bitration through an Furopean con ference or by other means. Reports from Rome are that it hostilities are prolonged Italy will insist upon a heavy indemnity. Italian reports tell of the sinking of two Turkish torpedo boats with a loss of 300 Turks near San Giovanni di Medua. The Turkish versions min imize the affair. The Chronicle' Constantinople cor respondent say that there i great ac tivity on the part of the Italian war- hips throughout the archiH'lagn and in the Ionian and Red seas. It is be lieved their intention is to block the Dardanelles. Rexirts are current that Said I'asha will resign and Kaimil I'asha become grand vizier. There ia every indica tion throughout the Turkish dominion of an energetic spirit in favor of a holy war, but in Constantinople the people p.'ay constantly for peace. According to the correspondent, the American ambassad' r, W. W. Rock- hill, i.aa been instructed from Wash ington to use hia influence for peace. The ambassador will have an inter view with Said i'asha. Russia is joining with the United States in this action. Turkey has sent another note to the powers asking for intervention and offering to grant every reasonable concession to Italy. Rebel Rob and Wreck. Mexico City The band of Zapatista who dynamited the "bridge of death," on the Interocean railroad near Axo- chispam, in I'uebla recently, held up and robbed the passenger train from Attencingo and by refusing to ermit the trainmen to go back and flag a freight train that was following the passenger train, caused a wreck in which the fireman and a train boy were killed and 15 passengers injured. The passengers had been lined up alongside the train and stripped of their valuable when the freight train thundered around the curve and crashed Into the rear of the passenger train.

Detail are lacking, but a fierce battle between the opposing force 1 expected, lioth aide have been rein forced during the last few hour, it is understood. There have been no disturbance In Lisbon during the last day or two. The i'ortuguese government no longer denies, however, the situation in the republic outside the capital is very ed the Republican troop at a fortified town 45 mile east of the liraga, and that Captain Couciere will have 30, 000 men behind him when he invest Oporto.

P., of British ColjJ umbia; Senator Loughred, of Alberta; Dr. Roche, M. P., of Manitoba.; Rob ert Rogers, Manitoba's minister of public works; Fred Cochrane, minis ter of mines for Ontario; Andrew EX-KING MANUEL, OF POkTUGAL, WHOM ROYALISTS ARE TRYING TO RE-INSTATE. Widow Sing Hymns and Deliver Eulogy Over Oaad. Indianapolis There waa no symbol of mourning at the funeral of Charles Buhland who died here laat week. In stead, the casket in which his body re posed was covered with gay-colored flowers, and the widow, garbed all in I white, sang two hymns, read the re quest of her husband, and delivered a I brief eulogy. The friends, who at- tended the service, were told that it was not an occasion of mourning and ! were asked that lamentationa be pared. I All this) was by the request of Buh land, whose widow refused to use the word "death" and spoke of her hus band' "transition" from his earthly sphere. Mr. Buhland stood at the head of the casket, almost amiling. She sang in a clear, untroubled voice. She and her husband had embraced Spiritual ism several years before. She was convinced, she said, that they had not even parted, and she expects to continue communication with him in the spirit world. "It is an occasion," said the widow, in speaking to those assembled there, "when if ever I should be truthful. I am standing by the side of the cas ket which holds the form of my hus band the one dear to me; the form that I lovedX that I have embraced, that has been my companion for more than 30 years, lover tnd sweetheart, husband and wife, father and mother. Under these circumstances and sur roundings the truth would be told." Mrs. Buhland then declared that within three hours of the "transition" of her husband he had appeared to her and their son, had conversed with them, and told them of his desires and his condition. Mrs. Buland did not say what specific revelations he had made concerning life in the next world. "He said before his transition that he would come to us and he came as he promised," she said. After her eulogy, Mrs. Buhland sang another hymn. No one was tearful. The body was cremated, this being also at the request of Mr. Buhland. grave, although asserting that reports concerning royalist rampages have been greatly exaggerated. It was reported that ex-King Man uel was in Spain, presumably on his way to Portugal. This was found to be without foundation, aa information came direct from London that Manuel is still at Richmond with the queen mother. Dispatches from Madrid, Spain, say that Portuguese Royalists concentrat ed at Puebla de Sanabria, province of Zamora, Spain, about 20 mile north east of Braganza, Portugal, have formed into three columns under the command of Captain Couciere, Senor Camacho Canavarro and Homen Crista. Their first objectives are Chaves and Braganza, where the garrisons are reported to have pronounced in favor of the monarchy and courtmartialed a few officer who held contrary opin ions. The monarchists now say the entire Kpulation in North Portugal has made common cause with them. The government ia maintaining a close scrutiny of Oporto, which is looked uKn as the hotbed of the Roy alist conspiracy. It was there that spirited fighting between the Republi can troops and Monarchists took place Saturday, in which many of Manuel's partisans were fired upon by the gov ernment soldiers. Broder, M. P., of Dundas, Ont. ; George E. Foster, ex-finance minister; Judge Doherty, of St. Annes, Mon treal; T.Chase Casgrain and F. D. Monk, of Montreal, are practically certain to have portfolios. ITALIANS OCCUPY TRIPOLI. 6,000 Carry Manuel's Flag. Badajo. Spain (on the Portuguese frontier) The Portuguese govern ment admit that Royalist disturb ances are in progress in Northern Portugal, near the Spanish frontier. It is asserted that 6,000 men are following the white and blue flag of the deposed King Manuel. It is also said the RoyaliBts engaged and defeat- Oregon Will Cruise South. Seattle The battleship Oregon, which has been at the Puget Sound navy yard six years undergoing recon struction, will leave here October 24 for Los Angeles to join the Paeilic fleet for annual inspection. While at I.oa Angeles the famous old battleship will undergo exhaustive tests to ascer tain her rtVectiveness for war duty. Her new fire control system, wireless apparatus and other equipment, that was unheard-of when she made her notable trip around the Horn, will be given a thorough try-out. ' 200 Rebel Put In Jail, Mexico City. General Ambmsio Figueora, In a bloodless battle at Chi lapa, Guerrero, captured 200 Zapa tists and placed them in jail at Chit pancingo. He believe ho has thus effectively broken the strength of Za pata and Almazar, who have been ter rorizing the states of Morelos, Puebla and Guerrero for months. Martial law is being discussed for Chiapas, where two governments exist with separate capitals. Spaniard Finds No Trouble. Madrid The governor of Pontevedra inform the government (that he sent an emissary into Portugal to learn what the royalists were doing. The agent reported that absolute order reigned. Portion of Fleet Proceed to Bom bard Ctner Turkish Ports. London The Chronicle' Constanti nople dispatch from Tripoli says that Italian warships are bombarding Ben ghazi and Derna and that the former is vigorously returning the fire. The Italian flag floats over Sultania fort at Tripoli which is occupied by landing parties. Part of the fleet is anchored in the harbor and the other warships lie a short distance from the dismantled fortifications. According to a Constantinople re port, the Italian warships bombarded Benghazi and Derna. Rumors of a naval engagement in Turkish waters, of an attack against Mytilene and of the blowing up of the Italian battleship Conte di Caviour at Tripoli have not been confirmed from any quarter. A report is current from Constanti nople that while Germany favors the adoption of the Italian ultimatum as the basis of peace negotiations. Great Britain proposes that Tripoli shall be come a privileged tributary Turkish villayet, under joint Turkish-Italian administration, thus retaining the su zerainty of the Sultan. Youths Dead on Shasta, Sisson, Cal. At the bottom of the narrow box canyon on the east slope of Mount Shasta, the bodies of Harry Mapes and Herbert Barr, two 19-year-old boys, who were lost in a snow storm a week ago, were found Friday by Matt Kolen, a veteran mountain guide. Two miles from where the bod ies were found was a hunters' camp established by the two victims shortly before they were lost in the storm. More than 100 men were searching for the young men for several days. End of Strike Is Forecast. Ix)s Angeles "The strike will be over within 30 days; trains are be hind time, engines need repairs, and no competent men can be had to fill our places," was the statement issued here by the strikers' publicity com mittee of the Harriman employes. Superintendent Piatt, of the southern division of the system said conditions were satisfactory and that more men were working now than at any time since the strike was begun. Per Capita Cash S34.36. Washington, D. C. Each citizen of the United States, under an equal di vision, would have $34.35, the per capita circulation on October 2, ac cording to the circulation statement of the treasury department.

Tacoma President Taft climbed to the foot of the glaciers on Mount Rai nier Sunday and narrowly escaped spending a night in the mountain fast nesses. The presidential party made the ascent in automobiles and when near ing the highest point reached by the roadway, most of the machines be came mired in mud up to the hubs. For several hours the narrow road was completely blocked. Forest ranger with team of horses finally cleared the way, but night had fallen and a storm threatened as the president started down the decline. With searchlights blazing the way, the president's car crept slowly along the edges of precipices and at times the outer wheels were within two feet of a sheer drop of 1,000 feet or more. Mr. Taft returned safely to his train, which had been taken to Ash ford, near the mountain, and resumed his jounrey. Despite the threat of storm, the slippery mud and danger of night travel, the president declared he had thoroughly enjoyed the experiences of the day. Schoolboy Has Lockjaw. Newark, N. J. The life of Julius Mandeville, a 7-year-old school boy living in this city, hangs in the bal ance as a result of an attack of lock jaw due to the infection of a vaccina tion wound on his right arm. When the boy was enrolled at the Warren public school he was obliged by the regulations to submit to vaccination. A few days after an abcess formed on the boy's wrist, his arm swelled, and convulsions followed. Doctors believe that dirt got into the vaccination wound, causing tetanus. Cook's Polar Case Bare, Copenhagen Dr. Cook's Greenland "case" by means of which he would be able to prove that he had gone to ward the Pole has arrived here. When it was opened it was found to contain a broken sextant, but no pa pers. Cook a Eskimo, Itukusab, says j that Cook's Pole stories are pure tic jtion. Knud Rasmussen has given up trying to find the Miekelsen expedi tion and hope that Miekelsen is still alive is small. 'Slavery Is Ended in Tripoli, Rome The Italian authorities at Tripoli have issued a proclamation , suppressing slavery. Tripoli was the only remaining port on tne coast 01 Africa where slavery still prevailed, notwithstanding the efforts of Great Britain and France to prevent the traffic. General Spinsgardi, minister of war, went to Naples to superintend the or ganization of the expedition. Squirrel's Doom Sealed. Sacarmento Prosecutions of prop erty owners who do not properly pro tect the public from bubonic plague by the slaughter of ground squirrels has been ordered by the State board of health, following a conference with Dr. Rupert Blue of the United States service. A report by Dr. Blue showed 13 Federal and 61 county in spectors now in the field. DYNAMITE EXPERT GOES TO DEFENSE McNamaras Get Advisor From Side of Prosecution. Secret Experiments Have Been Made Minitur Times Build Will Ba Built for Destruction, Los Angeles Another of the wit nesses who was depended on by the state for important information in the coming trial of the McNamara broth ers on a charge of murder resulting from the explosion in the Los Angeles Times office has gone over to the de fense. John Bermingham, Jr., a dy namite expert who is known in all sections of San Francisco, and who has testified as an expert in many of the big trials in California wherein dynamite was an element, has been retained in an advisory capacity by the defense. He was closeted for two hours or more witn Clarence uarrow, cmel counsel for the defense, and while Bermingham refused to deny or admit his connection with that side, it is known from a source that is reliable that he will be chief expert in matters relating to dynamite, its make-up, use and effect. It is improbable that Bermingham will appear as a witness in the case, although it is possible that he will be put on the stand to answer hypothe tical questions. His first-hand knowl edge of, the effect of the explosive that wrecked the Times building, the steel girders and machinery will not be questioned, according to the present plans. He is retained in a consulting capacity. GO ALOFT DESPITE LAWS. Female Aviator's Wrist Cut Repelling Officers. New York Three Long Island dep uty sheriffs undertook to preserve the peace of the Sabbath by preventing Earl L. Ovmgton and Miss Mathilde Moisant, aviators, from attempting to make flights at the Nassau boulevard. The result was interesting. Although the official meet of the Aero club had been declared off, fol lowing a decision by the Supreme court that Sunday meets at which ad mission fees were charged were viola tions of the law, Ovington and Miss Moisant desired to make flights on their own accounL Miss Moisant flew from the Nassau field to her hangar at Mineola, and Ovington started on his proposed flight to the Pacific Coast with a package of letters, having been detailed by Postmaster General Hitch cock as the first transcontinental aerial mail carrier. Miss Moisant landed on the property of her brother, Alfred Moisant, and immediately a trio of deputy sheriffs attempted to arrest her. Miss Moisant s brother said that his sister had entered her automobile just after alighting from her aeroplane, and that the deputies attacked her chauffeur and severely clubbed him when he refused to allow them to take the woman from the automobile. In the fracas Miss Moisant's wrist was cut and she was much bruised and shaken. The deputies had no warrant to make an arrest. Fowler Prepares to Fly. Los Angeles The big biplane in which R. G. Fowler expects to fly across the continent has arrived from Northern California. The aviator has put his mechanics at work getting the machine together and hopes to begin the transcontinental journey within two days. Fowler's machine is unus ually heavy. With the aviator, it weighs more than 1,500 pounds. Fowler is confident that his motor can develop more power than it did when he was forced to abandon the proposed flight over the wall of the Sierras near Colfax, and that be can make the aerial trip to New York in 23 days. College Wives Faithful. Northampton, Mass. The latest ev idence of one of the accompanying; benefits of a college education for wo men has just come to light in an in vestigation conducted by the alumnae of Smith college, who find in cases they have observed that out of 67 mar riages of college girl graduates there is only one divorce. In contrast to this percentage is that disclosed by the investigators, who have found that there was one divorce out of every 10 or 12 martiagcs of non-college women. War Minister Castro Out, Lisbon The minister of War, Gen eral Pimanta Castro, has resigned. The government has decided to ask President Arriaga to summon Parlia ment in an extraordinary session to secure its consent to certain measures for the speedy trial and punishment of the conspirators in the attempted rev olution. Contradictory reports are being received here regarding the sit uation in the North. The Monarchists, do not appear to be making headway. Duel Fought With Saber. Havana Major Armando Andre, editor of El Dia, and Dr. Miguel Men cia, director of customs, fought a duel with sabres, Mencia being severely wounded. Mencia challenged Andre on account of attacks in El Dia, charg ing him with gross frauds in the man agement of the customs house.
