WAR CLOUD IN BALKANS
(Continued from First Page.)
Official advices which have been re
ceived here lead the Temps to announce
that at Tlrnova tomorrow Prince Ferdi
nand, the reigning Prince of Bulgaria,
will proclaim the independence of Bul
garia and will assume the title of "Czar
of the Bulgaria." The Temps says:
"Roumella will be Included In the proc
lamation, but probably Turkey will not
acquiesce and a Turko-Bulgarlan war Is
therefore likely. The only thing to Inter
fere with this programme Is Prince Fer
dinand's possible hesitation at the last
minute, but this morning his resolution
appeared to be definite."
The Temps adds that Austria la ready
to compensate Turkey for the definite
selsure of the provinces of Bosnia and
Herzegovina by the retrocession of San
Jak of Novlpazar, which is under par
tial military occupation by Austria-Hungary
In virtue of a convention between
that power and Turkey concluded In 1S79.
Austria Plans to Step in.
Inquiries In competent circles seem
fully to confirm the Temps' Information.
President Fallieres. Premier Clemenceau
and Foreign Minister Pichon held a con
sultation today relative to a letter from
Kmperor Francis Joseph. This was
transmlted to the President yesterday by
Count Khevunuller-Metsch, the Austrian
Ambassador, and Is understood to be
Identical with letters which have been
transmitted to other chiefs of state, noti
fying them of Austria's Intention, hi view
of the change in the situation In the
Balkans, to "tighten the bonds which
unite Bosnia and Herzegovina, with Aus
tria." It Is proposed to act cautiously In this
matter.
France as Harmonlzer.
If the treaty of Berlin Is to be torn up
the main fear is that this will be fol
lowed by a scramble for "compensation."
Greece claiming Crete. Italy. Albania,
and other powers seeking similar acquisi
tions. Personally largely Interested,
France la In a position to enact the role
of harmonixcr between the rival Inter
ests. The first move Is likely to be a
suggestion that any changes shall be
made In accordance with the diplomatic
chart of the Balkans laid down by the
powers In 1STS.
The presence here at this time of M.
lawolsky. the Russian foreign minister.
Is declared fortunate.
Kmperor rust Give Out Letter.
Ijite tonight it was announced that the
French government must leave the Ini
tiative In the publication of the text of
the Emperor's letter to Franeie Joseph
himself, but Information, originating ap
parently from an authoritative Vienna
source. Indicate that the letter exposes
the general situation In the Orient and
emphasizes the possible consequences of
a Turko-Bulsarlan conflict and the posi
tion In which Austria would be placed
tlirebv.
The Emperor. It Is said, declares that
he will not take the Initiative In break
ing up the Berlin treaty, but that Auf-tro-Hunar,!an
Interests force him to
take Into account certain eventualities
which may follow the proclamation of
Bulrarlan Independence, m-hloh he says
appears imminent. The Emperor con
cludes his letter with the statement that
the occupation by Austria-Hungary of
Bosnia and Herzegovina must be consid
ered definite.
ArsTRIA WILL SECl'KE SLICE
Annexation of Two Provinces Soon
to Take Place.
VIENNA. Oct. 4. The annexation of
the provinces of Bosnia and Herzegovina
by Austria, it Is believed, will not be
lung delayed. The foreign ofrtce. how
ever, refuses to admit tht such a step
Is contemplated and declares that the
government Is planning some changes
regarding the international position of
these provinces which, though forming an
appendage of the Auslm-Hungarian
monarchy, are nominally included in the
Turkish Empire.
The opinion Is held In political circles
that these measures will be equivalent to
annexation. Some of the foreign gov
ernments are reported to regard the step
unfavorably, particularly Italy: never
theless this attitude seems to have no de
terrent effect upon this government.
The speech from the throne at the
opening of the dualisttc body at Buda
Pest on October 8. probably will not refer
to the plan of action, but It is expected
that the foreign minister will announce
that the provinces hereafter will be called
"Dominium imperatoris et regis." thus
permanently sealing the conventibn
whereby the provinces were handed over
by the great powers at the close of the
Russo-Turklsh War 1&77-7S to Austria
Hungary, to be held and occupied for an
Indefinite period. What Is now called the
dual monarchy will thus become a triple
monarchy.
The form of government with regard to
these provinces will depend largely upon

Turkish' and Bulgarian Soldiers
Drilling and Mobilizing.
CONSTANTINOPLE, Oct. 4. Al
though a peaceful settlement of the
Bulgarian question Is desired, Turkey
ts pushing preparations to meet any
development in the situation. Orders
have been Issued for the first division
of the cavalry, consisting of six regi
ments, to be ready for Immediate de
parture, with eight regiments of the
second corps and six of the third. Tur
key thus will have 20 regiments on the
frontier, as opposed to 11 Bulgarian
regiments, of which six are at Phllip
opolls. two at Sofia and three on the
Roumanian frontier.
The Bulgarian soldiers are most en
thusiastic. This being . Mohammedan
feast season, work usually Is relaxed,
but now the officers are making
speeches to the men, telling; them as
Turkey has threatened war with a
small country they must pull them
selves together unless they wish to go
like sheep to slaughter. The men have
been greatly affected by these words
and have demanded that, their whole
time be given over to drilling.
EXGLAXD SURPRISES BULGARIA
Sympathy With Turkey Causes
Excitement and Dissatisfaction.
SOFIA. Oct. 4. The latest communi
cation from the Bulgarian government
to Turkey Is a flat refusal to surren
der the Oriental Railway. The prin
cipality declines to deal with Turkey
in the matter, according to current re
ports. The greatest excitement pervades
the people, and yesterday all the min
isters left for Rustichuk, on the Dan

A council will be held which Is Ex

Follow Up Talt.
LINCOLN. Neb.. Oct. 4. That Presi
dent Roosevelt fully intends to take the
stump In favor of the candidacy of Mr.
Taft was the information received at
Fatrview today from the Bast. It. was
said that the advices came from per
sons upon whom reliance could be placed
and were to the effect that Mr. Roose
velt Is planning to make at least six
speeches In ibe course of a trip from
the Atlantic to the Pacific the concluding
speech to be delivered at San Francisco
with numerous short speeches en route.
Mr. Bryan, however, absolutely refused
to make any comment on the subject. In
order to devote still further attention to
the state of Iowa, the Democratic candi
date tonight announced a change in his
plans in connection with his trip to Chi
cago, where on the night of October 7,
he is to meet Mr. Taft at a banquet.
Instead of leaving here Tuesday after
noon and going direct to Chicago as had
been arranged, Mr. Bryan will start to
morrow night for Des Moines, from
which point he will, on Tuesday, pro
ceed to Perry. Tama and Cedar Rapids
and deliver set speeches, while from the
rear platform of the train en route he
probably will make several short talks.
The Journey to Chicago will be made
Tuesday night. Although it has not been
definitely settled, it now Is planned that
Mr. Bryan shall speak in St. Louis Fri
day evening and then re-enter Kansas on
Saturday for a full day in that state,
returning to Lincoln Sunday. It also is
likely that before making his final trip
into the Middle West and the East he
will spend a day or so in campaigning
in his home state.
Tomorrow evening Mr. Bryan will go
out to Havelock, where are located the
shops of the Burlington Railroad, and
address the laboring men. Mr. Taft a
few days ago spoke at the same place.

Two Portland Men Arrested in
San Francisco.
BLANK PASSES STOLEN
Charles Tbairkilf and J. P. Mom
has Accused of Forging Railroad
Officials' Names to Passes' and
Selling Them to Scalpers.
.SAN FRANCISCO. Oct. 4. (Special.)
Charles ThairkiU and J. P. Monahan,
former clerks in railroad offices In Port
land, were arrested today on telegraphic
advices from that city, charging them
with the theft of blank railroad passes
and the forgery of names of officials. The
arrest was made by Detectives George
Mulcahey and Thomas Murphy at Turk
and Taylor streets this afternoon.
ThairkiU and Monahan are exceedingly
well-dressed young men, and. according
to their statements, have been employed
in railroad circles throughout the North
west recently. For some weeks railroad
detectives have been engaged In trying to
trace a number of forged passes that
have come to light In the Northwest,
and It Is believed that the two men have
operated extensively.
When searched at the police station
two blank Southern Pacific and two blank
Oregon Railroad & Navigation Company's
passes were found on them. They ad
mitted coming to San Francisco on
passes which they had stolen and forged,
but deny that they have been guilty of
other offenses.
According to detectives, somebody has
recently been doing a large business In
forged passes.- These passes were sold
to ticket scalpers, who disposed of them
to travelers. The forgeries have been
good enough to defy detection until the
passes were returned to the general of
fices of the roads. ThairkiU and Mona
han have agreed to return to Portland
without extradition. When arrested
they had but a small sum of money on
them.
When questioned about the case last
night. Captain of Detectives Baty
stated that he was not familiar enough
with the details to make any state
ment, and that he did not recollect
which officers had been assigned to the
case at the time the complaint was
made. The O. R. & N. and Southern
Pacific officials, who might be cog
nizant of the details of the case, were
out of the city yesterday and could
not be seen.
However, it develops that ThairkiU was
a young railroad man from Salt Lake,
who came to Portland some four months
ago and secured employment at the
offices of the Southern Pacific Company.
He succeeded, it is alleged, in getting
several of his fellow-employes to stand
good for him with several Portland
tailors for various items of raiment, all
of which he promised to pay for on
October 1, when Ills salary became due.
He managed to draw his pay before the
first and left town, without meeting his
bills. It Is said. .

STRAW VOTE FAVORS TAFT
(Continued from First, Page.)
in which were several clerks who had not
made up their minds, a young and pret
ty woman who sat at the typewriter had.
She was for Taft, and she spoke "right
out In meeting," saying she favored the
big Ohloan. This was found to be the
case In many of the offices visited, and
had the women employes been given a
chance to make the straw vote, Taft'a
vote would have been much larger.
To many It was a rare Joke, and it
gave these humorists a chance to make
themselves happy with their Joke made
right on the spot. Some of these marked
the straw ballot for Chafln. and chuck
led gleefully to themselves as they did
so. while others put the X after Deba'
name.
Business Men Vote for Debs.
The surprising thing was the fact that
in the vote taken at the Commercial
Club luncheon, seven ballots were marked
for Dobs Whether this was the true
conviction and the way these seven in
tend to vote, ts not known, but It will
surprise the Republicans and Democratic
members of the club to know that so
many Socialists are members of- the or
ganization. The 13 votes for Chafin, the
Prohibition candidate, are not In the least
surprising, for in a club of so many
members, there are bound to be many
men who do not believe In the sale or
use of liquors.
In the Chamber of Commerce building
the lawyers were te readiest to name
their choice. There was no hesitation
from them. Out of 72 members of the
Multnomah County bar. 66 were for Taft.
14 for Bryan and three for Hisgen. There
was not a Prohibitionist among those

SALT LAKE CITT, Oct- 4. Having
heard their president expound the reve

hibits the use of all intoxicants by the
faithful. 16.000 members of the Church of
Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints today

church to support prohibition legislation.
The occasion was the opening of the
79th semi-annual conference of the
church In the great tabernacle, and at
two overflow meetings a vote- was taken
on the resolution. It was Introduced by
Apostle Heber J. Grant, and Is as follows:
"Believing in the words and teachings
of President Joseph G. Smith, as set
forth this morning, on the subject of
temperance, it is proposed that all offi
cers and members of the Church of Jesus
Christ of Latter-Day Saints will do all
in their power that can possibly be done
with the lawmakers generally to have
such laws enacted by our Legislatures,
soon to be elected, as may be necessary
to close saloons and otherwise to decrease
the sale of liquors and to enforce the
Sunday law.

C. W. Richards, of Portland, complains
of the ill-treatment of a large crowd of

his statement Mr. Richards said:
"Saturday there was a Grange Fair at

Giuseppe Campanari was born in Venice, and in early life
played the 'cello at La Scala, Milan. Young Campanari was ambi
tious, however, and endeavored to improve his naturally good voice
at every opportunity. In 1884 he was engaged by the Boston Sym
phony Orchestra, and after arriving in America took up vocal studies
in earnest.
Campanari 's great voice is always under perfect control, and
he is equally at home in the sustained dignity of the Peccia aria,
the jolly humor of the Figaro cavatina or the brilliant dash of the
Toreador song.
We give below a list of Campanari's Victor Records and will be glad
to play any or all of them for you at any time.
