Russia and Prance have reached an
agreement on tho program to be
submitted to the powers as a basis
for tho discussion of the proposed
European conference to settle the
Balkan question. Proposals, eight
In number.
It is proposed to recognize the in
dependence of Bulgaria as at pres
ent constituted and to determine the
financial obligations of Bulgaria to
ward Turkey. The new clauses will
probably settle the question of the
Oriental railway. The powers shall
take recognition of the annexation
by Austria-Hungary of Bosnia and
Herzegovina. Shall recognize the an
nexation of Crete to Greece, and de
termine the financial conditions of
Greece in respect to Crete, toward
Turkey. It is proposed that arran
gements similar to Aobe shall apply
to the Armenian provinces of Tur
key, and it is proposed to sweep
away all restrictions Imposed on
Montenegro under article 2 09 of the
Berlin treaty and to Servla and the
Herzegovinan frontiers adjoining
Novipazar. It is proposed to revise
the regulations governing the Da
nube traffic and give larger rights
to states bordering on the river.
The draft of the program has no
mention of the straits between the
Black Sea and the Mediterranean
which means the Bosphorus as well
as Dardanelles. Russia does not de
sire this submitted to the conference
but wants Great Britain and France"
to help Russia negotiate with Turkey
for the opening of these straits to
Russia.

DELAYS TRIP
Junior United States Senator
Can't Come to Coos Bay For
A Few Days.
PORTLAND, Ore., Oct. 15. Owing
to illness, United States Senator Jon
athan Bourne has had to postpone
many of his political appointments,
and it will be several days at least,
before he can start on his contemplat
ed trip to Coos Bay. The severe cold
which Senator Bourne was afflicted
with when Senator A. J. Beveridge
came to Portland last week, v has
developed into la grippe, and has
settled on his lungs. Senator Bourne
has been under the care of physicians
for some time past, since the grippe
took a firm hold, and his condition
is considered serious. The illness,
however, has not prevented him from
going to his office for a few minutes
each day.
As soon as he is well enough to
travel, Senator Bourne Intends visit
ing the Coos Bay country and sev
eral other points in the state. He
was to have started on tho coast
journey today, according to his pro
gram, but all his plans have had to
bo changed and held in abeyance
until further notice.

charge on ground of having no

TRAIN KILLS
RUNAWAY BOY
Unknown Lad Meets Fate
While Beating Way Near
Roseburg.
ROSEBURG, Ore., Oct. 15 Tho
body of an unknown boy, his neck
broken and the base of the skull
fractured, was picked up beneath the
railroad trestle three-fourths of a
mile north of Oakland. Circum
stances show that tho boy, while
stealing a ride on the southbound
overland train, No. 15, was either
thrown or fell off at the trestle, and
the latter Is tho more probable. The
body was discovered by Chas. Neal,
a Southern Pacific section foreman.
Coroner N. T. Jewett is holding an
Inquest at Oakland today before a
jury comprised of tho following: J.
E. Medley, A. E. Smith, A. G. Young,
E. H. Pinkston, A. A. Smith and E,
M. Brobks.
Nothing was found in tho boy's
clothing to identify him, but that ho
probably lived In Portland is indi
cated by the stamp of "Olds, Wort
man & King" on tho Inside of his
shoes. Apparently he was about 14
years of age. He wore a cap of dark
color, a dark gray coat, blue sweater
and corduroy trousers. His two up
per front teeth aro a trifle prominent
and the. tooth Immediately to the
left is missing.
Two boys, giving their names as
Tom Jackson and George Murrny,
and about tho same age as the one
who was killed, aro tho principal
witnesses at tho Inquest. Wnllp
beating their way they fell in with
the third boy at Salem, so they say,
and tho three rode together on the
"blind" as far as Eugene, where they
separated, tho third boy proceeding
southward on No. 15, while the other
two waited and rode south on the
"flyer" No. 13. Arriving at Oakland
and learning that a boy had been
picked up dead, Jackson and Murray
immediately viewed tho body and
identified it as that of their compan
ion of a few hours before. They say
they did not learn his name or whore
his homo was.
The authorities aro inclined to
doubt the story of Jackson and Mur
ray. They lean toward the belief that
tho three boys ran away from homo
together, but whether this will be re
vealed at the Inquest Is a question.
At tho conclusion of tho Inquest,
Jackson and Murray will be brought
to Roseburg and then either sent
back to their homes, If their loca
tions can be learned, or committed
to tho state reform school.
In looks tho dead boy bears tho
stamp of education and gentle breed
ing. His hands aro soft and regular
in shape, showing that ho had not
been obliged to do any manual labor.
