TURKEY REJECTS
POWERS' TERMS
Young Turk Leaders Say Ac
ceptance Would Arouse
Storm.
BLOW AT CONSTITUTION
Concessions Proposed Would Be
Deadly Blow Britain, France
and Russia Propose to Recog
nize Accomplished Facts.
PARIS. Oct. IS. In a published Inter
Tlew PJelmal Bey and Dr. Nns?m, dele-
Kates of the. Young Turks, said in behalf
of the organization that the programme
as designed by the powers lor the settle
ment of the Balkan situation would never
be accepted, and that It dealt a deadly
blow both at the prestige of constitutional
Turkey and the integrity of the Ottoman
Kmpire.
The Young Turks party, they said, de
clares its belief In advance that it would
be unable to oppose the storm of reproba
tion the programme will arouse In Turkey
or to answer for the peace of the country,
as it hitherto has done.
THREE POWERS ARE AGREED
Britain, France and Russia Adopt
Terms of Conference.
LONDON. Oct. 15. Great Britain, Rus
sia and France have reached an agree
ment on a programme to be submitted
to the other powers as a basis for dis
cussion of the proposed European con
ference, to settle the Balkan question.
The proposals to be laid before the con
ference are eight in number.
The first Is to the effect that articles
from 1 to 22 of the treaty of Berlin,
which relate to Bulgaria and Eastern
Roumelia, shall be replaced by stipula
tions recognizing the independence of
Bulgaria as at present constituted and
determining the financial obligations of
Bulgaria toward Turkey.
New clauses probably will settle also
the question of the Oriental Railway.
The second and third proposals are
that the powers shall take note of the
annexation by Austria-Hungary of Bos
nia and Herzegovina and the return of
the Sanjak of Novlbazar to Turkey.
Let Greece Annex Crete.
The fourth" article relates to Crete. It
replaces article 23 of the treaty of Ber
lin by clauses recognizing the annexa
tion of Crete to Greece and determining
the financial obligations of Greece, In re
spect to Crete, toward Turkey.
It is understood that the powers un
der whose protection Crete has been,
Russia, Great Britain, France and Italy,
will settle the Cretan question in con
cert with Turkey before referring it. to
the conference.
It is proposed also that the sec
, ond part of article 23 of the Ber
) lln treaty. . w-hlch. provides special regu
latlons for . the ? government o other
parts of European Turkey, shall cease
to have force when the powers are as
sured that a satisfactory settlement has
been effected.
The fifth proposal is to the effect that
arrangements similar to the above shall
apply to the Armenian Provinces of
Turkey.
The sixth article deals with Monte-
negro. The Montenegrin rights of sov
ereignty are limited by article 29 of the
treaty of Berlin. It Is proposed that
articles 2 to 33, Inclusive, of the Ber
lin treaty shall be condensed to a single
. article abrogating all the restrictions im
posed by the treaty under the original
article 29, which it is proposed to sweep
' away.
Compensate Small Countries.
The seventh point In the programme
is the statement that it is desirable
to seek and give compensation to Ser
, via and Montenegro by a revision of
the Bosnian and Herzegovinlan fron
' tiers adjoining Novlbazar. This is
. taken to imply that a strip will be
taken from the territory annexed by
Austria-Hungary.
The eighth proposal concerns the
river Danube, and declares it desirable
to revise the regulations governing
Danube traffic, so as to give larger
rights to the states bordering on the
river.
The eighth article of the programme
is followed by a declaration that, as the
new Ottoman constitution foreshadows
a reorganization of the Judicial system
and a remodeling of Turkish legislation
in conformity with the principles of
other European states, the powers are
prepared to consider, in concert with
Turkey, so soon as these reforms are
realized, the best means of doing away
with capitulations. It is declared also
that this occasion could be taken to
consider the abolition of postofflces
now maintained by foreign powers in
Turkey.
READY TO GIVE COMPENSATION
Bulgaria Denies Rumor of Ultima
tum Expects American Help.
PARIS. Oct. 13. M. Standoff, the
diplomatic agent of Bulgaria in Paris,
is in receipt of official advices from So
fia which deny the alarmist rumors
current here yesterday of Bulgaria's
purposes. Bulgaria has no Intention of
sending an ultimatum to Ti-key or of
ordering further mobilization of her
forces. On the contrary, the outlook
for a peaceful adjustment with Turkey
and the powers Is now regarded In
Sofia as practically assured through the
international conference.
M. Standoff said he did not give cred
ence to the bellicose language attribu
ted to the Bulgarian premier, and ex
plained that Bulgaria was ready to
make whatever money compensation
was proper on account of the Orient
Railway and Eastern Rumelia. He
characterized as absurd the report from
Krlgrade of a secret treaty between
Bulgaria and Austria-Hungary.
Continuing the conversation. M. Stan
doff expressed surprise that the United
dependence of Bulgaria, but he recalled
Slates has not yet recognized the n
with pleasure the personal letters from
President Roosevelt to Prince Ferdi
nand, presented by John B. Jackson,
when he was accredited as the diplo
matic agent of the United States to
Bulgaria.
BULGARIA AFFKONTS POWERS
All Foreigners to Be Subject to Lo
cal Courts.
SOFIA. Oct. 16. A disagreeable impres
sion has been produced in diplomatic cir
cles here by a circular note Issued today
! from the Bulgarian Ministry of Justice,
k wbieb erdeca-tbat-ia- th (ature-tb sub-.
Jects of foreign powers In Bulgaria shall
be treated on tne same
;n other words, they are no longer to en
joy the intermediary of their Consuls. .
The circular sets forth that the declara
tion of Bulgarian independence on Octo
ber 15 has annulled the so-called capitu
lations which exempted foreigners from
the Jurisdiction of the local courts.
The diplomatic representative of one of
the great powers today described this cir
cular as a "high-handed action." which
the powers would vigorously oppose.
BCXCARIA MCST KEEP QUIET
Turkey Threatens to Fight If Hos
tile Attitude Continues.
CONSTANTINOPLE. Oct. 15. Disturbed
by news of the Bulgarian military activ
ity, the Porte has instructed the Turkish
representatives abroad to call the atten
tion of the powers to this matter and to
state also that Turkey will decline to take
the responsibility should Bulgaria persist
In her present attitude of hostility.

citement In London.
"LONDON, Oct. 15. All the men of the
home fleet absent from their ships on lib
erty have been suddenly recalled. Inas
much as the reason for this has not yet
been asserted, the order has caused con
siderable excitement.
EO BACK TO YEAR 1872
GOVERNMENT REVEALS GUN
POWDER TRUST'S PAST.
Attempt to Prove at Trial That Il
legal Combination of Manufac
turers Has Long Existed.
NEW YORK, Oct. 15. Further testi
mony, through which It was sought to
establish the existence of an Illegal com
bination of gunpowder manufacturers,
was Introduced today at a.hearing before
Special ' United Slates Commissioner
Maheffely in the suit instituted by the
Federal Department of Justice, against
the so-called powder trust. This action,
directed against the E. I. Dupont
Nemours Powder Company, and 71 other
defendants, charges them with securing
control of practically all the powder mills
of the country and conducting thera as
one great concern in defiance of the
Sherman anti-trust law.
The greater part of the time at today's
hearing was taken up in placing on the
record the "Compendium of rules." and
the fundamental agreement which gov
erned the old Gunpowder Trade Associa
tion. These documents were produced by
Alexis I. Dupont, secretary of the pupont
Company. ,
By the presentation of these documents
the Government Is endeavoring to estab
lish the existence of a combination of
powder manufacturers from 1872 to 1902.
known as the Gunpowder Trade Associa
tion.
Attorneys for the Dupont Powder Com
pany made no objection to the admission
of this line of testimony because of their
claim that such association or trade
agreements ceased to exist with the year
1902 when the present Dupont company
was organized and purchased the powder
mills now owned .by the company.

slashed Garner frightfully about the
face and neck. He then leaped off
the car, followed by a number of white
men who were passengers on the car
and witnessed the assault.
The negro was captured and roughly
handled . by the crowd. Calls were
made for a rope, but, none being avail
able, efforts were made to obtain a
gun to shoot the negro. Finally a

HIGH FINANCE BY. MORSE
(Continued From First Page.)
Mr. Stlmson said that Mr. Morse was a
member of a pool manipulating the stock
of the American Ice Company and that,
when the members reached the end of
their resources, they went to the National
Bank of North America, of which Morse
was rlce-presldent, procured $1,200,000 of
the bank's money to continue their specu
lation. To conceal this alleged unlawful
transaction, Mr. Stlmson Bald, fictitious
loans were entered on the books. He
charged also that false reports were made
to the Controller of the Currency to show
that loans made by the bank, with the
Ice stock as collateral at fictitious prices
were resources.
Discounted Friends' Notes.
Mr. Stimson declared also that Morse
induced his friends to take stock in his
various enterprises, giving their notes in
payment, and that Morse discounted the
notes. The manner In which Morse

St. Louis.
BERLIN, Oct. 16. The German 1-al-loon
Busley came down Tuesday morn
ing at 6 o'clock in the North Sea. The
two men on board were rescued by a
passing steamer.
This news was received m a teleg.-am
from Edinburg and caused the greatest
relief, for there was great , anxiety re
garding the fate of this airship. . .The
Busley Is one of the 23 balloons that
started in the race for the international
trophy last Sunday from a suburb of
Berlin, and now every one of the con
testants has been accounted for.
There are still, however, two balloons
missing. These are the Plauen ard the
Hergzelt, which started on Monday in
the endurance race.
The two German aeronauts had a
thrilling experience and a narrow escape,
but they are today none the worse for
their adventures.
Thrilling Rescue Made.
A second telegram received here gives
details of their flight and rescue. After
the start from Berlin, the balloon drifted
toward Southern Russia, and was then
driven to the northwest. The men saw
they were passing over Cuxhaven. Find
ing they were being carried too far to
the north they decided to descend, and
early Tuesday morning, at a point about
ten miles from Heligoland they dropped
the balloon into the sea. This was after
they had sighted the steamer Prinz Wli
helm and signalled to her.
The steamer passed the balloon for some
distance until she was close to it. Then
she launched a small boat. The en
velope, with the pilots on top of- it and
the car dragging below was driven rapid
ly over the water. The two men were
In the water for half an hour before they
were finally dragged to safety into the
small boat.
Traveled 435 Miles.
It Is estimated that they traveled 435
miles before they came down. Although
no award has been made officially, tha
English balloon Banshee, which came
down on the coast of Denmnrk. Is re
garded as the winner. of the International
cup contest The French balloon. Condor,
is second and the .Belgian balloon, tsei

The aeronauts were half naked and ut
terly exhausted. They were taken to the
steamer, where they received every at
tention and were given food and restora
tives. The men rescued from the Busley are
Dr. NIemeyer and Hans Fledeman. They
landed at Edinburg this morning and
immediately started for home by way
of London. The point where they were
picked up Is 10 miles from Heligoland.
Although the news of the rescue of the
two bailoonlsts from the Busley was
heartily welcomed, the most serious ap
prehensions are felt for the safety of the
other two airships.
It is now three full davs since these
balloons have been heard from. The ex
haustive observations indicate that they
