CONSTANTINOPLE. Nov. 9 (Uncen
nml). The situation has taken a
change for the worse. A grave Inter
national crisis seems pending, un me
one hand the position of the govern
ment Is seriously compromised because
the army repudiates me m"uii--.rnrwisition.
On the other hand the
committee of Union and Progress is
giving evidence of renewed activity,
n-hii Turkish feeling, both national
and religious. Is being worked to fever
pitch by the preaching In the mosques
snd by the impassioned language of
the press.
The most serious feature of the sit
uation is the weakness of the govern
ment in having first to apply for me
diation to secure an armistice, later
requesting mediation, pure and simple,
and then virtually being obliged to
yield to the army which repudiates
mediation. Probably only the fact that
the powers have not replied to the re
quest for mediation prevented a mtn
itriai crisis and extricated the gov
ernment, as it will not now be called
nnon to lake any action.
The committee of Union and Progress
has taken up strongly tne cry 01 no
-nrrender." The newspaper Tanlne and
Yenl Gaxetm have been suspended for
printing violent comments.
MY.VV WANT EUROPEAN WAR
rurklfli Opinion U Conflict Will
Arise With Profit to Tnrkey.
I.ONDON. Nor. 10. The Daily Tele
graph's correspondent says:
"The decision has been reached that
the Sultan and government shall re
main In the capital, even if the troops
of the allies enter. The heir apparent
and the other princes have expressed
strong opinions that It would be
shameful and exceedingly dangerous to
abandon Constantinople and retreat to
Bresau.
The opinion is gaining ground that
the differences of the powers may
bring about a Kuropean war by which
Turkey might profit and might re
establish her position if she resists
long enough to muster into line new
levies from Asia, numbering 500.000
men. when the general conflagration
breaks out. Several high officials at
Tchatalja demand that the new troops
from the Black Sea and also the
former army of Thrace be given a
chance to fight."
The Standard's correspondent says
some of the English and American
residents are making entrenchments on
the hill where the Robert College, an
.merlcan institution stands. They in
tend to take refuge- there If necessary.
"Today." adds the correspondent.
"Constantinople wore its customary
aspect of Sunday, and orderly crowds
thronged the streets.
"A Turkish squadron bombarded An
fan Til. near Rodosto, on the Sea of
Marmora, where the Bulgarians had
planted a battery.
"An Odessa dispatch says a Turkish
commission has arrived there 'and is
buying up huge quantities of foodstuffs
for Immediate shipment to the Bos
phorns. The authorities at first de
murred to purchases by a belligerent
power, but accepted the commission's
assurance that the commodities were
not for war commissariat, but for pub
lic consumption In Constantinople,
which was threatened by famine."
CHOLERA THINS TURKS RANKS

CONSTANTINOPLE. Nov. 10. The
outbreak of cholera is assuming pro
portions. Twenty-thre6 cases had oc
curred among the troops along the
Tt-hatalja lines up to Wednesday. There
are many more suspected cases among
the wounded. A trainload of wounded
has just reached here, eight of the sol
diers having died on the way. presum
ably from cholera.
The disease is getting a hold be
cause of a lack of proper food and the
complete absence of sanitary arrange
ments. There is danger to Constanti
nople because of the Influx of refugees.
Several suspected cases among the lat
ter have been reported. The authori
ties are preparing a special quarantine
hospital with 400 beds at Slrkeji.
The frequent visits of the Austrian
Ambassador, Marquis de Pallavlcini. to
the Porte are attracting attention.
Yesterday he visited the Foreign Minis

In January an amendment to the pres

Th rii-orre advocates suffered tneir

received the nomination on the demo

Republican opponent appeared.
Jones had the field to himself until
a bewhiskered farmer from outside
Reno announced himself as an Inde
pendent. His candidacy was considered a Joke,
but he was elected by a roislng major

other parts of the state it was more
than evident that the next Legislature
would be anti-divorce in complexion,
and win enact legislation fixing the

ANTHRACITE PRICE HELD
Operators Say Dealers Aro Paying

NEW YORK. Nov. 10. Because of
the uneasiness regarding the supply of
anthracite and the fact that some con
sumers are complaining that an abnor
mally high price is asked, the commit
tee of operators Issued a statement to
day in which they say:
"The larger mining companies are
holding absolutely to their circular
prices. They have not advanced these
to dealers to whom they sell and have
no Intention of doing so. By far the
greater part of the total of anthracite
output is being sold by the original
producers at the circular prices."
The statement concludes:
"The operators are convinced that,
though this year's production Is behind
last year's, consumers will not suffer
for want of coal if they content them
selves with moderate purchases for the
time and do not attempt to lay in a
large store In advance and thus create
an artificial scarcity." .

of the British government's choice for
his successor, and at the same time
announced his own intention of return
ing home as soon as possible.
Prmldeat Requests Delay.
President Taft, it is Bald, requested
that the announcement be withheld
until he could discuss it wun secre

to the city tonight, and it is expected
an ornctai announcement tomorrow
will follow his conference with the
President
While the news that Ambassador
Bryce is to retire will be received with
deep regret in official circles and by
the country generality, it is not wholly
unexpected. There has been no break
in the harmonious relations of the dis
tinguished Englishman and his govern
ment, but it has been an open secret
for some time that Mr. Bryce, advanc

post and give entire attention to the

MEXICO CITY, Nov. 10. General
Geronlmo Trevino, who was recently
retired from the army at his own re
quest, is suggested as provisional presi
dent of Mexico in a new revolutionary
manifesto which has Just reached the
capital.
The manifesto is dated Puebla, the
day after the capture of General Felix
Diaz. The newspapers of Mexico City
have refrained from -mentioning the
manifesto, and it is believed General
Trevino is not interested.
Another revolutionary document ob
tained by the police from Zapatista
prisoners was made public today, it
appears to reveal the intention of the
Zapata brothers and the leading insur
rectionary chiefs whose names are
signed to ImitaJe the French revolu
tion. Guillotine Is Promised.
Promises are made to the -insurgent
army, to which the document is ad
dressed, that a guillotine will be erect
ed in the capital and that the heads of
many of the rich will fall. It also
nromises that others will end their
days in the "Mexican bastile."
Notwithstanding the failure of tne
Zapatistas to take Cuernavaea, activi
ties continue in the states of Morelos,
Guerrero and Mexico, and the govern
ment is planning to resume the exter

Robles with some success a few months

horrible outrages. '

DAILY HOMICIDE AROUSES
Arkansas Plans on Stricter Enforce
ment of laws.
LITTLE ROCK, Ark, Nov. 10. (Spe
cial.) An average of a homicide a day
In Arkansas is not the kind of record
the good citizens of Arkansas like to
advertise, and for that reason there is
more and more determination on tfielr
part to reduce this number by a stricter
enforcement of the law and the enact
ment of a more stringent, statute if
necessary.
For the first time In the history of
the state reliable statistics are being
collected by the Judiciary, under the
provisions of an act passed in 1911, re
quiring Prosecuting Attorneys to make
biennial reports to the Attorney-General.
When the reports have been re
ceived from 17 circuits and compiled it
will be possible to indicate definitely
the weak spots and apply the necessary
remedy. ""
In Pulaski County, of which Little
Rock is the county seat there were 27
homicides for the two years ending Oc

ers were convicted, five were sentenced
to hang and two were executed.

Elmore Hurst, Who Sits In Councils
of Both Sullivan and Harrison
Hearst Factions, One of
Those Mentioned.
CHICAGO, Nov. 10. (Special.) The
big contest out of the way, the Demo
cratic leaders began laying their llne.s
today for further conquest. This is the
representation In the United States Sen
ate from Illinois. Should the Demo
crats be able to name two Senators,
as they confidently expect to do. there
will be found a sufficient number of
men willing to offer their shoulders
for the draping thereon of a Senatorial
toga.
Colonel James Hamilton Lewis, bet
ter known as "J. Ham." Is the primary
choice of the Democrats of the state for
the long term. He is friendly with
Governor-elect Dunne and does not
quarrel with either the Hearst-Harrison
or Sullivan factions. The Sullivan
organization probably will not go out
of Its way far to send Colonel Lewis
toward Washington, but the fact re
mains he was the choice of the people
at the primaries, and there is not ap
parently any desire to rob him of the
victory thus earned. '
. Sbnrt Term Sought by Many.
However, there is also a short term,
the unexpired part of the term made
vacant by the elimination of William
Lorimer as a member of tho Nation's
highest law-making body. Several
prominent Democrats have been men
tioned for this honor.
Charles Boeschenstelu, National corc
mltteeman from Illinois, is being urged
by his friends as the logical man to
go to Washington. He is an out-and-out
Sullivan lieutenant and has the un
dented confidence or President-elect
Wilson. Another fact that is being
presented in his favor is that he comes
from - down-state. This, too, can be
urged for others.
Elmore Hurst, of Rock Island, who
Is a personal friend of Bryan and in
addition has entry to the councils of
both the Sullivan and Hearst-Harrison
factions. Is also under consideration.
Mr. Hearst directed the business men's
bureau at the Western headquarters of
the Democratic National committee
during the campaign. At one time lie
was considered as a compromise can
didate for Governor, because he Is
reckoned free of entangling factional
alliances.
New Candidates Appearing.
Samuel Alschuler, of Chicago and Au
rora, Is also under the political glass.
He was a candidate for the Democratic
nomination for' Governor last April. He
took the stump for Mr. Dunne and
toured the down-state counties, urging
the election of his more fortunate rival.
Each day will present new candidates
for this honor, but these, In the opin
ion of politicians, are the ones on whom
the smile of fortune is most likely to
turn
