Young, ie union official at Boston, who nlnted out a tower in the group of nunicipal buildings he wanted ilown up. "Young told me to lay the tower flat in the ground," testified McManigal. He said he had had some trouble with lie foreman, but I said I bad not come clean up any person, but to blow up 1 job. He also told me $50 he had sent ne in care of Frank C. Webb in New fork was a present, and that Herbert t. Hocktn, who took that amount out if my pay, had no right to It. "I put two bombB in the tower on Vpril J and took a train for Uttca. N. r. At Utlca I examined a vest pocket run. James B. had told me that M.

He answered he was waiting to re vive the payment from Chicago Local, so. 1, but he thought they would not ay $300 for putting a bomb near a !ence.

Loidus Bipeeta Compromise The best opinion in London is that a compromise will be effected by the belligerents and that the powers are using their good offices behind the scenes with this end In view. Reports from Sofia say Turkey's re jection of the proferred terms for an armistice occasioned no surprise there. Threil Bulgarians, representing the three northern kingdoms, have started for the front with the expectation of meeting the Turkish peace plenipoten tiaries. A cessation of hostilities Is not nec essarily expected to follow the de parture of the representatives of the allies on the mission of peace. What ever basis for an armistice" may be reached, it is expected it will leave In abeyance the amount of territory Tur key' will be permitted to retain. The compact, it is believed, will Include Bulgaria's renunciation of intention to enter Constantinople. Albanians to Declare Indepeadeace. Reports from Vienna announce 'that Albanians will proclaim their inde pendence tomorrow at Duraszo, from which place the Servians are within a five or six days' march. Vienna re ports are that there will be a. Joint Italian and Austrian naval demonstra tion off that port. The visit of the Austrian Crown Prince upon Emperor William, which Is officially stated to be for the pur pose of keeping a long-standing shoot ing engagement, and a Berlin dispatch saying the Austrian Field Marshal, Von Schemua, spent the day there in con sultation with General Count Moltke, chief of staff of the German army, kept alive speculation concerning the plans of the triple alliance. No diplomatic secret was ever better kept than the terms of the Balkan al liance, but signs of differences over a division of spoils are cropping out. The Greek semi-official press says that the issue of . the war would have been greatly different except for the Im mense services of the Greek fleet In preventing 200,000 Turks from Asia Minor from joining the army In Thrace. The contention also Is raised that the Greek army and navy have accom plished as much as the three other allies combined. SKIRMTSHIVG IS RESUMED Turk Reports Thousands of Bulgar ians Dead on Held. CONSTANTINOPLE. Nov. 22. The latest Information from Turkish army headquarters la that there was only slight skirmishing today and several unimportant outpost fights. No men tion is made in the dispatches of the armistice pour parleurs. and It Is un derstood they have not yet been re sumed. A dispatch today from Nazlm Pasha, the Turkish generalissimo, says: "There was a slight cannonade on our right wing today. The enemy's battery in the environs of Ezzeddln fired on our works at Mektebbarbich, to which our batteries replied. In re connalsances on the left wing, we col lected a quantity of army effects aban doned by the enemy. The Bulgarians also bombarded Biyuk Chekmeydie, on the Sea of Marmora, firing 80 shells. The fleet replied and silenced the ene my's guns. "Last night our reconnaissances ad vanced as far as the village of Ezzed dln and drove back the enemy, inflict ing a heavy loss and silencing artillery posted on the heights near the village. At intervals this morning the enemy's batteries in the environs of Ezzeddln reopened fire, but the effects of the cannonade were unimportant." Another telegram sent by Nazim Pasha at 9 o'clock tonight says re connaissances by his men within a radius of four or five miles from the center of the Tchatalja lines showed the ground littered with the bodies of several thousand Bulgarians. During the last week strict precau tions have been taken to exclude war correspondents and sightseers from the Tchatalja lines. Mounted gendarmes have arrested all persons visiting that vicinity and sent them back to Con stantinople. Gendarmes were even posted at the-gates of the city to pre vent the exit of sightseers. Neverthe less, In a few instances, generally by disguising themselves as Turkish of- flcrs, war correspondents have been able to escape this vigilance, but only for short periods.. Arrests of members of the Young Turk party continue. The latest include Djelal Halri and Deajmeaam, ex-Ann-lsters of the Interior, and Evkaf, ex- Mlnlster of War. Franz Ferdinand Meets Kaiser.

The entire family is deeply inter ested in the new home-building plan in operation in Hie Addition with Character We have the b6st building plan that has ever been devised in Portland. It insures the faithful performance of the building contract and is the very essence of economy. Our plan is this: You select your lot and decide upon the type of house you want. We will have our architect draw your plans, then we will take charge of the construction, look after every detail, build the house exactly as you want it, give you your full money's worth and turn the house over to you a finished job; you to make us a cash payment of only about 10 per cent of the value of the property. The remainder you can pay in monthly installments, which will amount to very little more than your rent. This simply means that you get a new home, built after your own ideas, in your own way, without any of the annoyances of mechanics' liens and dishonest contractors. We will relieve you of all the worry and stand between you and all loss. We will build you a home in Laurelhurst cheaper than you can get one built anywhere else. We buy material in large quantities and get big discounts, and you will get the advantage of these discounts. We employ only the best mechanics. .
