Say Compromise Made.
PKRLJX. Nor. 18. The official dec
laration made today y Count von Ho
henthal. Saxon Minister of Foreign Af
fair, in the lower house of the Saxon
Parliament to the effect that the foreign
affairs committee of the Bundesrath. or
FederaJ Council, should met oftener In
order to supervise the acts of both the
Emperor and his Chancellor, apparently
represents the Joint opinion of BavAiia.
Wurtemburg and Saxony. These govern
ments have agreed mutually to avail
thempelves of the foreign affairs com
mittee of the Bundesrath In order to
share In the direction of foreign affairs.
The Conservative and Monarchial opin
ion In the country Is resisting the irove
ment to travel too fast politically.
Flr.t Step to Popular Power.
Dr. Theo Rarth. one of the Radical
leaders In the Reichstag, said today:
"This is only the first step In what
will be the prolonged political education
of the German people for full parliament
ary government. The situation Is con
fused. An effort will be made to per
petuate precisely the same relations be
tween the crown and the people as ex
isted before. Assurances such as those
given yesterday will quiet public opinion
for the moment, or until some fresh oc
casion for action arises."
The Tlpslger Neuste Nachrlchten, an
Influential fjWm! - paper, acclaims the
"new regime" in these words:
"The German people are awake and
they will not slumber again. Their true
monarchial duty Is to protect the wearer
of the crown against his own mistakes.
The people recognize their rights and
feel their strength. They have a na
tional consciousness, and out of that
will blossom a new life."
Socialists Distrust Von Buelow.
The executive committee of the So
cialist party has authorlied the Vor
waerts to dejwrlbe the recent occurrences
an "having tegun with a scandal, then
driven forward under great excitement."
and as having ended In a "compromise
with the government.
"The Empire Is still administered by
absolute bureaucracy," this paper con
tinued, "and it is till governed by a
single unlimited head. The decisions of
court cliques, made in secret, are car
ried out by a pliant Chancellor, who de
rives his power frnjn the sovereign and
who still remains In office."
Today was observed as a National
day of penitence and prayer. The clergy
men In many of the state churches In
thftr morning services thanked heaven
that the guthertng political clouds had
disappeared.
HERMAN BLOOD IS COOLER
Imperial l'lrtlge Viewed In Colder
Llpht Than at First.
BKRL.IN. Nov. 1. The results of the
representations made to Emperor Will
iam yesteday by Chancellor von Buelow
and the consequent Imperial pledge to
keep both speeches and acta within close
constitutional grounds, are measured In
colder mood by the people of Germany
t day. The Kmperor Is still much iso
lated from the sympathies of both the
uprer and lower levels of society.
The talk among the friends of the
Chancellor and the Ministers today is
that they must wait and see how the Em
peror acts when the next keenly inter
esting public question comes up. Doubt
exists as to whether, at the age of 50,
the Kniperor's Impulsive and candid dis
position can be so modified by the events
of the. past fortnight that he will depart
from & practice he has followed during
the ?o years of his reign.
Prince von Fuelow and his party will
pursue an opportune policy, affirming
resolutely that the imperial conduct will
faithfully follow the imperial word.
Press of France Divided.
PARIS. Nov. IS. The opinion of the
French press Is divided regarding the in
ternational edict of Emperor William's
consent to avoid in the future personal
interventions in the foreign affairs of
the empire. While a majority of the pa
pers consider His Majesty's assurances
beneficial to the country and a victory
for the German people as against per
sonal rule, several of them, notably the
Figaro, express confidence in the sin
cerity of His Majesty's pacific Intentions,
and they recall occasions upon which he
Interfered in the interest of peace. They
believe it unfortunate that upon this the
chauvinism of German bureaucracy have
been removed.

GO TO BACK DOOR
Roosevelt Shows That
Rights Are Equal.
HAS BETTER UNDERSTANDING
Will Set Forth Views in Mes
sage to Congress.
LEADERS EXPRESS VIEWS
Exchange or Ideas Has Illuminating
Value to President, Judges and.
Executive Officials Desire
to Avoid Lawsuits.
WASHINGTON. Nov. 18. Further
conferences at the White House today
between the President and men who
are prominent In labor matters made
the attitude of the administration
toward proposed labor legislation . a
subject of keen discussion in Wash
ington tonight.
Among those wno saw the President
were Charles P. Nelll, Commissioner of
Labor; United States Attorney Henry
L. Stlmson, of New York; Edward J.
Gavlnan, of New Tork. attorney for
the labor unions, and Charles H. Sher
rlll, an attorney of New York, all of
whom attended the labor dinner at the
White House last evening.
It is learned from the highest au
thority that the object of the President
In giving the dinner to the friends of
labor, and in holding the subsequent
conferences, was primarily to bring
about a better understanding between
representatives of the Government and
labor leaders, and to Impress upon the
labor interests of the country the dis
position of the administration to re
ceive Its representatives in conferences
on an equality with all others. The
desire of the President, it was ex
plained, was to have the laboring man
feel that he had the right to present
his grievances and demands, and to
demonstrate "that neither the labor
leader nor the millionaire need come
to the back door of the White House
at midnight In order to have a confer
ence with the President."
Supreme Court of the United States
and Executive officials were Invited to
be present merely to enable them to
learn from the leaders direct what the
latter regarded as their needs.
The occasion Is said to have afforded
a free exchange of Ideas and to have
been of "Illuminating value" to the
President.
While he may not adopt a labor pro
gramme at the close of his admtnlstra
tlont lest he might thereby embarrass
his successor. It Is believed he will set
forth his views on the needs of labor,
either in his annual message to Con
gress or In a special labor message
submitted subsequently.
The various conferences of the last
two days are said to have brought out
more plainly than ever before the de
sire of the labor Interests to eliminate
lawsuits in collecting damages under
the employers' liability law. It has
been found, the labor leaders say, that
the lawsuits result in benefit to law
yers only.

BUTTE. Mont, Nov. 18. (Special.)
When the wedding feast was all pre

fruit and the sweets on the groaning
board, the priest hired and the musi
cians secured for the merry-making.
Constable Mose Lipschltz descended
upon the happy scene, which was to
have been the marriage of Joe Turitch
and Nike Marlnovlch, flashed a war
rant upon the bridegroom this after
noon and led him away to the County
Attorney's office, where Turitch was
requested to explain the charge that
he already had a wife and two children
back In Austria.
Friday, the 13th, .was the day upon
which Turitch secured his wedding li
cense. It has so far proved an un
lucky day for him. Long before he ap
peared In the office of the Clerk of the
Court, another man preceded him and
gave warning that Turitch would ap
ply for a license, and that it should be
held up because the bridegroom-to-be
was already married. Turitch man

was not until this morning that three

PRECAUTIONS BY AUSTRIA
Mobilization of Troops Accompanies
Delay in Negotiations.
ST. PETERSBURG, Nov. 18. Austria
Hungary has formally notified Russia of
her precautionary military measures on
the Servian frontier, which Include the
partial mobilization of the 15th army
corps. These steps are regarded generally
as a military demonstration, but in offi
cial circles it is not felt that there is
any reason for alarm and It Is believed
that the chances for peace have Improved
60 per cent since the powers, at the initi
ative of Austria-Hungary, undertook di
rect mediation with Belgrade.
The Austrian note on the proposed
International congress to clear up the
situation In the Balkans has been de
livered and, according to credible author
ity. It contains no conclusive answer re
garding the programme of discussion sug
gested by the other powers. . It merely
inaugurates a new phase of the negotia
tions, which probably will hang on for
weeks.
Reports received here from Vienna say
that Austria-Hungary adheres to the de
termination not to discuss the Justifica
tion of annexation of the provinces of
Bosnia and Herzegovina. ,
The Servian legation here was virtu
ally stormed today by an assemblage of
unemployed men, who wanted to enlist
with Sen-la for the predicted war with
Austria-Hungary. This arose from the
publication in the morning papers of a
statement, attributed to the secretary of
the legation, to the effect that appli
cants would be enrolled in the Servian
army as soon as the Austro-Servian ne
gotiations, which are now sharply
strained, were broken off. -
The legation disavowed this state
ment today and said that, on the con
trary'. It did not think there would be
any war.

Will Contend Standard Did N'ot Seek
Mastery, but Is N'atural Outcome
of Economical Develop-
ment of Industry.
NEW YORK, Nov. 18. delating his
story with the air of a country gentle
man of kindly mien, engaging a host of
friends with incidents of days long past,
John D. Rockefeller, president of the
Standard Oil Company, though for nearly
ten years retired from the active cares
of company direction, reviewed for more
than two hours today the history of the
early oil trade and the development of
the company that later grew into the
present oil trust. Mr. Rockefeller was a
witness for the defense In a suit to dis
solve the Standard, which is being prose
cuted by the United States Government,
and his appearance at the hearing before
Judge Franklin Ferrlss, the referee,
brought a large crowd to the Customs
building.
Tells Story With Pleasure.
The head of the big oil combine was
surrounded by an imposing circle of coun
sel and, when he began his testimony, he
gazed complacently upon a swarm of
newspapermen, behind whom pressed a
throng that filled the room. Mr. Rockefel
ler appeared at complete ease, and when
John G. Milburn, of counsel for the
Standard OH Company, propounded his
first question, the witness spoke out in full
tones, as If he desired the most distant
spectator In tile chamber to hear.
Then, In a manner that indicated a
pleasure of which he was about to tell,
Mr. Rockefeller spoke of his start in the
oil business and how, . under adverse
conditions, that business grew to the pro
portions of the Standard Oil Company of
Ohio, with its capitalization of tl.000,000.
Mr. Rockefeller's eyes sparkled In reflec
tion on that early financial organization
with almost boyish enthusiasm.
When $1,000,000 Looked Big.
"It seemed very large to us, who began
with only $4000 In 1S62," he said.
Thus the proceedings lost, in a sense,
their official aspect, because of the en
gaging manner which Mi. Rockefeller
displayed 1n his answers. A glow of
health showed on Mr.- Rockefeller's
smooth-shaven face, and to inquiring
newspapermen he replied that he had
never felt better. The president of the
Standard was dressed in a plain business
suit of dark material, and across his
waistcoat was suspended a heavy gold
watch chain. A dark purple necktie, in
which a large pearl pin was set, smuggled
close to a high collar.

testimony today, which carried him
to the organization of the Standard Oil

CONCESSION TO PHILIPPINES
No Reduction on -Sugar, but
Fixed Amount Free.
JUST TO PLACATE TAFT
Some Lumbermen Want the Doty
Raised, but Majority Stand Pat.
Paclflo Coast Delegation to
Be Heard Friday.
WASHINGTON, D. C Nov. IB.
(Special.) On what seems to be ex
cellent authority. It may be said that
no changes will be recommended In the
duties on either sugar or lumber by
the ways and means committee, ui
though It Is probable that as a con
cession to the Filipinos and their chief
advocate, the President-elect, an agree
ment will be consummated which will
admit a certain quantity of sugsr from
the Philippines free of duty. In no
case will this quantity be enough to
affect conditions here.
It is said some lumbermen want the
duty Increased from 12 to 4 per thous
and on their product, but most of them
are satisfied to stand pat and they dis
courage any talk of Increased duty.
It Is of .interest to Northern lumber
men that today the Interstate Com
merce Commission granted California
the same rate to Chicago as that from
the Northwest.
