A Turkleh cruiser and threa tor pednboata have arrived at Salonika on the war to Pamos. Greek Island tributary to Turkey. Thla la Tur-key-a answer to tha proclamation of Crrtane union with Greece. There la little talk of war. Tha Servian National Assembly haa In dorsed tha government's policy and tha government at the Instance of tha powers haa been striving to maintain peace. , J LONDON. Oct. 1 !. M. Iswolskjr. the Russian Foreign Minister, has suc ceeded in Impressing upon Sir Edward Grey, tlie British Secretary for For eign Affairs, the necessity that not only should a conference of the powers be held to settle the crisis In the Near Kant, but this conference should take under advisement other questions be sides those Involved in the annexation by Austria of Bosnia and Herregovlna and the declaration of Bulgarian inde pendence. This change of front on the part of Oreat Britain, which haa caused great surprise, was announced by the For eign Office at the conclusion of a long conference between Sir Edward Grey and M. Iswolsky. after a meeting of the cabinet. In which Sir Edward set forth the position he had taken and ex plained the Ylews of the Russian Min ister. Sir Edward's secretary. In mak ing the announcement, said: Agree- Conference Necessray. -It may be affirmed with certainty that both ministers concur in the necessity for a conference and that the pourparlers at the Foreign Office, following, as they do. upon the FTanco Tlusslan negotiations upon the subject, have smoothed away some of the diffi culties which were in the way. It la now regarded as probable that the lat est events In the Near East will neces altate the enlarging of the scope of the questions to be discussed at the con ference." Further than this nothing could be ascertained officially as to the ques tions M. Iswolsky desires to Include. In fact It Is doubtful If it has been de cided what shall be taken up In addi tion to the two sections which brought shout the crisis, for it was intimated that the pourparlers at the British For eign Office have not yet been conclud ed and may not be for several days. M. Iswolsky Intended to leave for Parts Wednesday, but he said today that this departure would not be possible nntll Thursday. nd that he might remain In londn even longer than that. May Not Want Straits Open. It Is doubtful whether ' Russia Is anxious to reopen the Dardanelles for the present, for. If this Is done. It must be for all nations, and Rusaia Is not likely to desire that while her fleet is weak. Besides, other treaties In addi tion to the treaty of Berlin would be Involved. The point in her previous stand Great Britain Is continuing to Insist upon, apparently, is that no modification of a treaty can be permitted without the consent of all parties to that treaty, and at her proposal the powers have Instructed their Ambassadors at Con stantinople to affirm this principle. What end can be served by this Is not stated by the foreign office, but It can hardly be expected that either Bul garia or Austria-Hungary will consent to restore the legal status In Bulgaria and Bosnia and Herxegovlna before the questions of Independence and annexa tion are considered and the powers have decided what must be done with respect to the Island of Crete. SEIZE HUNGARIAN' TOWN Servian CuMoms Officials Drive Huns From Custom-House. BERLIN. Oct It The Lokal Antelger t"day publishes) a dispatch from Belgrade saying that Servian custom officials cn the frontier have taken forcible posses sion of a Hungarian customhouse, and that the people of Belgrade have burned another Austrian flag on the public square. According to this communica tion. Servian customs officers from the town of Shabats. on the Save, went over to the Ostand of Bajukllta. which Is Hun garian territory, and drove out from the settlement there between 30 and 40 Hun garian customs employes by threatening them with armed force. The Servians then took possession of the Hungarian csjvtoms station, which they continue to hold. They have been reinforced by Serv ian gendarmes. The people of Shahats are celebrating this event Joyfully. A band of Servian demonstrators' boarded an Austrian steamer at Belgrade, tore down the national flag and carried It to the theater square, where it was burned. The Servian Government, the corre spondent . says. In conclusion, appears to be unable to withstand the warlike tend encies of the people. fcHOILD OPKV DARDANELLES J'rrm-h leitrrnmrnl Itecomtncnds Concession to Russia. PARIS. Oct. II. The Temps, the Gov ernment errin, In an editorial, expressea hope that Great Britain possibly will give Russia satisfaction In the matter of the lsaxdaneUea. It reviews the history of the struggle for tie etra.lt to show It was not closed In the Interest of Turkey but of the other powers and, upon the theory that frankness la the best policy, recalls Cyprus and Egypt to show that Great Britain has not always been the disinter ested friend of Turkey. The Temps thinks that. If the Anglo Russian entente was Justified, the regime in the Dardanelles, so Irksome to Russia. should be modified. It argues that it would be possible for a new arrangement to be reached conciliatory to the Inter ests of all and without danger of humili ating Turkey, and suggests the applica tion of the rules raMfied In isss. neutral. Ixlng the Sues Canal and placing it under a Joint commission. "A new. Sincere and less vexatious ar rangement." says the Temps, "seems to us to be desirable as a guarantee for the future."

COOPER, SICK, OVER ROCGH TRAIL. 1U In Mountains, Two Trained Women Nurses Are Secured to Bring Him BacW to Health. ASTORIA. Or., Oct. 12. (Special.) After being carried on a stretcher for fully 30 miles, a portion of the distance over tha roughest kind of a road. E. F. Cooper, a tlmberroan having headquarters In Portland, reached here this afternoon and left on thia evening's train for his home in Portland. About a month as-o. Jlr.

Relerson in a precarious condition. Ino trained nurses were sent from Portland to care for him and it was due In no small degree to their nursing that he survived. On Saturday afternoon Mr. Cooper's condition had so improved that it was deemed safe to bring him to Astoria. As the road was In too bad condition to bring him on a wagon a stretcher was made, 12 men employed to carry it by turns and the start was made at an early hour Sunday morning, the nurses riding on horses and at Intervals gave their patient attention and nourishment. Sunday night the party was compelled to camp out, but the stop was made at the quarry, where the county rock crusher is being operated, and the men there rendered every assistance possible. I .Ate at night the nurses rode to a cabin more than a mile away, where they se cured a chicken and made & broth to strengthen Mr. Cooper for'the balance of the trip. . .

Identified as Purchaser of Rope With Which Alleged Victim Was Bound. CHICAGO. Oct. 12. The case "of Lumin C. Mann, of Oak Park, a suburb of thia city, who is under arrest charged with the murder last July of Mrs. Frances Gil more Thompson, was continued to Octo ber 13 today on request of attorneys for the defendant and bail was fixed at 125. 000. Mann in his cell atthe Harrison-street Police Station, denied all charges made against him and declared that he could prove an alibi. One of the principal wit nesses in his favor, he declared, will be Mia Datsy Potts, daughter of a real es tate dealer of this city and a student at the University of Illinois. On her and his three sisters, he said he relied to prove that on the night of the murder he was at the Oak Park home of his father. Positive identification of Mann, who is a wealthy resident of Oak Park, as the purchaser of the . rope which bound Mrs. Thompson in her death struggles, the discovery of a key In his pocket which is said to fit the door to the death chamber In the house at 1242 Michigan avenue, and recovery of a watch from Mann's pocket, alleged to be long to the murdered woman, form yes terday's important developments in the Thompson murder mystery. The finding of a key on a ring In the accused man's pocket, which was Identi fied by Mrs. Alice Hamilton, housekeeper at the MJchigan-avenue rooming-house, as one to the bed-chamber In which was found the body of the Thompson woman, mutilated and tied with a heavy clothes line est the afternoon of July 2, was one of the sensational developments. Mrs. Hamilton was positive in her statements. Walter A. Buckstrap. a clerk, who sold the rope that was found bound about the murdered woman's throat and body. Identified Mann as the person who had purchased the strangler's cord. He de clared that he could not be mistaken. A ladv's watch, with the monogram letters ,;D. P." on the back of 1 is also another important clew. The polico de clare it belonged to the murdered woman. The letters on the wat2h correspond with the letters found on the handker chief stuffed In the murdered woman's throat. After his arraignment In court, Mann was taken to Inspector of Police Wheeler's office. Here he was confronted by Mrs. Ann Wallace, a manicurist, who at the time of the murder, occupied a room in the house at U'42 Michigan ave nue, where the murder was committed. When the woman was ushered into the room, where the prisoner was seated the latter appeared considerably agitated. Ac cording to Inspector Wheeler, the woman Identified Mann as the companion of Mrs. Thompson. Overdue Ship Is Sighted. SAN FRANCiSCO. Oct. 12.
