LONG ASSEMBLY SESSION After t-lormy 3 -Hour Debate, Rad icals) Cool Down and "Will Pass Vote of Confidence In Government. BELGRADE, Oct. 1J After a secret session lasting for mora than 34 hour, the Narodna-Skuptschlna, or National As sembly, adjourned this evening without having arrived at any definlta decision with regard to lt action against Austria Hungary. The Assembly -will meet again tomorrow and the session will be open to the public. According to the most reliable lnforma tlon no vote waa taken on the question at Issue. The meeting- waa a very stormy one and was Interrupted by various re cesses. War waa demanded with Austria Hungary, but the leader of the war fac tion cooled down after Foreign Minister Milovanovlcs had made a lengthy state ment. In which he explained that one reason why hostilities were Impossible was the scarcity of ammunition for the new batteries, which Is now being; trans ported here, but has been detained In Austrian lines. W ill Cplold Government. The leaders of all the parties com plained earnestly that the government's protest to the powers against the annex ation of Bosnia and Herxegovlna was not couched In sufficiently strong terms, but the Foreign Minister eventually succeeded In convincing the House of the correctness of the Cabinet's attitude and It Is anticipated that tomorrow the Assembly will adopt a vote of confi dence In the government. Thus for the moment the danger point In the Balkan crisis Is passed, and Ser vla Is expected to content herself by In stituting a boycott against Austro-Hun-garian commerce In the way of revenge. It was stated today that M. Mllovano-vlt-s will shortly proceed to London, Paris and Home to lay Servla's claims before the powers. A representative of the French Foreign Office has arrived here on a special mis sion. Demonstrations Are Lessening. Ixsplte the warlike language of the Crown Prince on Saturday, when he de clared before the angered thousands who had gathered at the palace that he be lieved they all soon would be able to offer their lives) In defense of the King and the fatherland, demonstrations in the streets are becoming less numerous and lees serious and apparently the peo ple are beginning to realise that war would mean the annihilation of Bervla. Reports published abroad that a gen eral mobilise tlon of the Bervlan army has been ordered are Incorrect. Only the first reserves have been called out and it Is not Intended to summon the other classes at the present time. With the reserves there will be only 4C0,01 men under arms altogether. COXYEKEXCH WITH ISWOLSKY King- Edward and Cabinet Members Talk Over Situation. IX1NDON. Oct. it The near Eastern situation, so far as the Anglo-Russian notifications are concerned. remains where It did M hours ago. There has been unusual activity at Buckingham palace today, to which the King returned last evening, and at the British foreign office and the Russian Embassy, where M. Iswolsky. the Russian Foreign Min ister, is slaying, the officials were busily engaged in an exchange of telegrams with the European capitals There also have been numerous ex changes of courtesies, the King and other members of the royal family and the cabinet ministers showing M. Iswolsky much attention. The Russton Minister, accompanied by the Russian Ambassador, Count Benkendorf, lunched with the Jrlnce and Princess of Wales at Marl borough House, after which he was re ceived by the King at Buckingham palace. His Majesty, previous to receiving M. Iswolsky had long conferences with Sir Edward Grey, the secretary for foreign affairs, and Sir Charles Hardlnge, the permanent under secretary of the for eign office, and thus he became fully acquainted with the government's views. In fact, the King was so anxious to learn the progress of affairs, thnt he had Fir Charles Harding to breakfast and Secretary Grey came in Immediately afterward. When the Russian Foreign Minister came the King was able to dis cuss the situation with him along the same lines as those followed by Sir Ed ward In his conference with M. iswolsky yesterday. In the evening the Russian Minister waa the guest of honor at a dinner at the palace, where he had the oppor tunity again of seeing the British sec retary as well ss meeting the Prime Min ister. Mr. Asquith, and several diplo matic representatives. These were so cial meetings, however, and did not ad vance the actual negotiations. After the cabinet meeting tomorrow the foreign secretary will again meet M. Iswolsky. and so certain are all the parties concerned that the meeting will bring the negotiations to a successful close that H is predicted a statement to that effect will be introduced In parlia ment, which will assemble tomorrow for tts Autumn session. The King apparent ly shares this view, as he has arranged to leave London for several days on Tuesday. PASHA ADVISES FRIDKXCE Demonstration of Protest Still Be ing lleld In Turkey. CONSTANTINOPLE.

TO LET ACSTRIA TAKE LAND Turkey. However, Will Insist on Satisfaction From Bulgaria. PARIS. Oct. 11 It is understood In Q&nscUon, . wiiil -iL lawtiiakv.' iKtoUa. tlons with the British foreign office that Great Britain is keeping Turkey closely advised In order to secure the Porte's as sent to every" step. The British government is especially desirous that Turkey settle the question of Bosnia directly with Austria in order that there shall be no obstacle In the way of the latter country's participation in the conference of the powers. In this contention the Constantinople correspondent of the Temps says that he is in a position to state that Turkey Is arranging to accept the annexation of the two provinces by Austria as an ac complished fact and la now chiefly In sistent thst she shall obtain satisfac tion from Bulgaria. IAJXDOX CENTER OF INTEREST St. Petersburg; Watching Outcome of Conference In England. ST. PETERSBURG.

Iswolsky, Sir Edward Grey and King Edward are known. Emperor Nicholas has decided to leave the letter of Emperor Francis Joseph un answered until M. Iswolsky returns to St. Petersburg. Count Berchthold, the Austrian Ambassador, was closeted with M. Tcharykoff. the acting Foreign Min ister, the entire afternoon. At tne close of the Interview he reiterated the state ment that Austria would refuse to par ticipate in a congress unless the Bosnia Question was excluded from this program. The question of the recognition of Bul garian independence has for the time be lng dropped out of sight, but Russia has assured Bulgaria that she will support her pretentions before the congress. The Foreign Office has received from a score of cities In Turkey telegrams protesting against the Austro-HunRarlan-Bulgarlan action. which have- been adopted at mass meetings held under the auspices of the Young Turks. Ttie tele grams are Identical In text, showing a certain origin. ALL ARE ANXIOCS FOR OION Cretan Assembly to Be Opened in Name of Grecian King. CANEA. Island of Crete. Act. 11.

REPUBLICANS IN MAJORITY (Continued From First Fa ) Ankeny will not be a member of the next Senate, but his place will be filled by Jones. Republican. In like manner, Hansbrough will be supplanted by a new Republican; so will Ktttredge. and In all reasonable probability Joe Brls tow will succeed Senator Long of Kan sas, though Kansas Is one of the doubtful states on account of the In tense opposition of the Lone; Republic ans to the election of Bristow. The political situation in Ohio Is such at the present time that no man can reas onably predict what Is going to happen. That Foraker will not be re-elected la conceded; It is virtually conceded by Mr. Foraker himself. It la a doubtful ques tion whether the next Ohio Legislature will be Republican, or If Republican, whether It will be able to elect a United States Senator. All is chaos In Ohio to day, and the Democrats can at least reas onably claim to hare a chance of elect ing Foraker' a successor. They may or may not do so. depending upon what hap pens in Ohio in the next three months. Primary Muddle in Illinois.

Representative Foss. . ji nnnnnt i mine to carrr th fight to the Legislature. The probability Is that a Republican will be elected, though an upheaval In Illinois In Novem ber might settle the dispute by -electing a Democratic Legislature. This is not indicated by present-day conditions. Tom Piatt, of course, will retire on March 4. Present signs point to a Re publican Legislature, and such a Legis liture if It reflects popular sentiment, will supplant Piatt Wth a man like Sec retary Root, or sonn other Republican of high standing. A RipubJcan successor to Piatt Is not absolute 7 arsured. but there Is little encouragement for Democratic hope of carrying the New York Legisla ture. I.a Follctte'B Power Waning. Senator La Follette has several times changed his mind reariTg hit colleague. Senator 6tephenson. Kls last announo ment was that he would net oppose Steph enson in the Leglslituce. he having baen sucojssful tn the prmtr.'t. Moreover, it has been demonstrated that La Follette Is no longer "boss" In Wisconsin, and his opposition would not necessarily be fa'aJ, if he should again change his mind. In any event, it seems out of all reason t expect the Wisconsin Legislature to send a Democrat to the Senati. If the Democrats shouli carry Indiana, there is a very slight possibility that they might gain control of th- Legislature, and select a successor to Senator Hemenwsy. but Indiana politicians, while admitting the state is close on the Presidential ticket, do not concede that the Legiela- i i. i t v i- In thiK niii FiniliVS UOD, tt noul4 ft aaM tb4 esAai OtJ 89c .09 Yd Imported novelty Vetls, tn Russian net, dotted or silk embroidered effects. or 2-yard lengths, in all the leading shades.

Vice-President Fairbanks" friends believe that he should be elected as a member of the Senate when he retires from his pres ent office. He made wiy for Hemenway when he was nominated as Roosevelt's running-mate, and his friends assert that he should be willing to s'.dcstep, now that Fairbanks Is again In need of a Joo, Kentucky Offsets Oregon. . The Republican Legislature of Oregon, under the primary law of that state, stands pledged to elect Governor Cham berlain, Democrat, to succeed Senator Fulton. But this Democratic gain If it shall be a gain is offset by the fact that the Kentucky Legislature (Democratic) has already elected Governor Bradley, Republican, to succeed Senator McCreary. So that Democratic gains must be com puted Irrespective of Oregon. Other Republicans on the foregoing list will, from present Indications, be re elected. At all events, there Is no possi bility of the election of Democrats In their stead. It is true that not aU of the 13 Demo crats listed are sure of re-election. It is possible, though not probable, that New lands, Smith and Stone may be succeed ed by Republicans. The chance of Repub lican victory In their states Is about equal to the chance of the election of Demo cratic Legislatures In Illinois. Indiana, Kansas and New York. As-stated at the outset, the Democrats will be fortunate if they make a net gain of three seats In the 'next Senate. Of course, if they fall next Winter, they have another try, two years later, when the terms of Si Republican and six Demo cratic Senators expire. They will not lack for opportunities to make gains two years hence, for the great bulk of the Republi can tefKttJt (w k44 w 1b that , i 5th WASHINGTON AND 6th STS. ' ,.
