St. Petersburg, Nov. 3.— Interest in
the Balkan situation is centered in
the positive statements of several pre-
I liminary leaders that Russia has deter-
| mined to drop the idea of the proposed
international congress and will refuse
to recognize the annexation by Austria-
| Hungary of Bosnia and Herzegovina.
This information, although purporting
to be from official sources, is not en-
t tirely exact. Russia has finally com
mitted herself to the principle that the
question of the annexation o f the pro
vinces may be discussed in a confer
ence of the powers. Austria will per
mit the status of Bosnia to be included
in the program, but only on the condi
tion that the delegates will refrain
from questioning her action and con
tent themselves with registering the
abrogation of the article referring to
this matter in the Berlin treaty. The
foreign office states that the negotia
tions between Russia, Austria-Hungary
and other powers on this question are
still in progress, and considers that an
acceptable formula for submission to
the congress may ultimately be found.
It is difficult, however, to foresee how
a sati factory agreement may be
reached without one side or the other
withdrawing its contention.

Hongkong, Nov. 3. The rioting,
which resulted here yesterday in the
attempt of those involved to force the
local merchants to continue the boy
cott against Japanese goods has been
suppressed by the soldiers, who were
called out to patrol the business dis
tricts. One Chinese who offered armed
resistance was shot.
The riots were organized primarily
by the students o f the city, and the
disturbance is evidently widespread.
A t Singapore similar riots have oc
curred and a number of merchants are
said to have shown a desire to discon
tinue the boycott and otherwise favor
Japanese, and have been branded as
traitors, and in several instances
marked by having their ears slit.
It is alleged that a league has been
formed secretly and has pledged itself
to give any man who slits the ears o f a
so-called “ traitor” $15 and, should he
be thrown into jail, to see that he is
held up to the public as a martyr and

BURNING STEAM ER IN PO R T.
Passengers Driven by Intense Heat to
Promenade Deck.
San Juan, Porto Rico, Oct. 31.--The
steamer S. V. Luckenbach, from New
York for San Juan, arrived here last
night with fire in her hold still burn
ing. A ll her passengers and crew, 31
in number, are well.
The fire was discovered at 4 o’clock
on the morning o f October 26, when
the vessel was 580 miles south of
Sandy Hook. The passengers were at
once awakened and the small boats
were brought out, prepared and made
ready to lower away in case it should
become necessary to abandon the
steamer.
A t 6 o’clock in the morning of the
26th, the steamer Philadelphia, o f the
Red D line, was sighted, and the
plight of the Luckenbach was signaled
to her. The Philadelphia answered:
“ I am coming alongside.”
She drew near and acted as a con
voy until the Luckenbach reached here.
Both vessels came into port together.
The heat and smoke from the fire
forced the passengers to withdraw
from their cabins, and temporary cots
and eating tables were placed on the
promenade deck for them. The officers
did not dare open the hatches to com
bat the fire in the fear that the draft
thus created would fan the flames.

BEWARE OF JAP.
Hobson Says Uniled States Doomed
Soon as Fleet Leaves Pacific.
San Francisco, Oct. 2 9 — A few
thousand Democrats in San Francisco
were told last night by Captain Rich
mond Pearson Hobson that Japan is
eagerly seeking war with the United
States at an early date.
Hobson was sailing along smoothly
diiscussing the campaign issues with
fervid speech, when a voice in the au
dience asked him to enlighten his hear
ers on naval affairs.
The congressman, who is a member
of the house committee on naval af
fairs, readily complied.
He asserted
that Japan had borrowed more than
a billion dollars to be used in a war
with the United States. The overtures
of peace on the part o f Japan, said the
speaker, were to delude this nation
into returning the battleships to the
Atlantic so that Japan could seize
strategic points in the Pacific and on
the western coast o f America, and by
commanding the mountain passes could
prevent relief from the East. He told
his hearers that there are now in the
United States 65,000 Japanese soldiers.
