Chicago, October 9—A corner in
the available supply of butter which
promises to carry the price to the
high level of last year and possibly
higher confronts the consumer. The
big packers are supposed to be the
interests engineering the deal. The
effect is already being felt, and the
price is now 2% cents higher than a
year ago at this date, despite the fact
that supplies are 11,000,000 pounds
greater than last year, as showo by
the monthy report on cold storage
stocks given to the trade September 7.
Washington, October 9.—Yielding
to the demands of conservationists
that coal lands hereafter be leased by
the Government to private concerns,
instead of allotted or sold, the Interi-
or Department has announced that
the plan wohld be tried. As a result
Van H. Manning, Assistant Director
of the Bureau of Mines, left for Wy-
oming, where he will complete the de-
tails of leasing 2,480 acres of Govern-
ment coal land in that state to a lo-
cal corporation.
The leasing experiment will be care-
fully watched, and if successful,
probably will-mark a revolution in
the policy of the Government in deal-
ing with the public lands.
The land to be leased is located
near Lander, Wyo. The corporation
desirous of mining the coal is to pay
$ 1 for each acre in the tract, and a
royalty of six and one half cents a
ton for each ton mined during the
first five years. After that the roy-
alty will be fixed by the Secretary of
the Interior, the leasing corporation
having the right to renew the lease
up to thirty years in all.
Boston, Oct. 9.—A trust, estimated
at $2,000,000, created by the will of
Mrs. Mary Baker Eddy, founder of
the Christian Science Church, for the
benefit of the denomination, was de-
clared void by the Massachusetts Su-
preme Court.
The court holds, however, ihat a
the amount of the income from be-
quests to religious organizations to
|2,000 annually.
The court dismissed the bill brought
by the contestants of the will, who
alleged that the teachings of Chris
tian Science were against public pol
icy. The contestants, however, are
given thirty days in which to bring
yj additional evidence to support
their claim.
London, Oct. 12—The war cloud
has settled over Europe heavily and
gloomily. No rays of peace strike
through from any quarter. Mon-
tenegro continues to assail the Turk-
ish forces, but the cracklings along
that border are mere firecrackers
compared with the general explosion
which is confidently expected within
another week.
The historic "concert of Europe"
in the supreme test has failed to sup-
charitable trust has been created and
that new trustees may be appointed ! press the Balkan clash which it avert-
to administer it.
The trust was to have been admin-
istered by the directors of the mother
church in Boston, but the court de-
cided that the trust provisions were
llartn;^ed under the statute limiting
-ir s!c t „
ed time after time in the past quarter
of a century. The final exhibition of
the helplessness of the great powers
was given in the collective note to
Turkey, publislpd today. That note,
Revise
■Wfi.
afte< arnest negotiations, merely
statefftihey will discuss reforms with
the Sublime Porte and gives no prom-
ise oft^sy results which might pla-
cate the Slav nations.
The Turkish Cabinet has been en-
gaged in framing a reply to the note
but at tfoe same time the Sultan fore-
shadowed the nature of the reply by
the i*tffmice of a proclamation for a
generaJ|^l^ilization which is a for-
mal notification of what Turkey has
been doing the last fortnight and an
exhortation to the army to fight
worthily.
Greece Ready To Fight.
Greece is equally above board with
the preparations. Crown Prince
Constantine left Athens today to take
command of the army. Vienna ad-
vices say Turkey will mass 450,000
men against Bulgaria and leave on-
ly two divisions to oppose Montene-
gro. Turkey apparently is willing to
sacrifice her outposts on thai border
for the time being. • Latest advices
fromPodgoritza say the Montenegrins
have occupied the town of Tushi and
that r®-ny men have been killed on
which was the ^^they could

been successful beyond expectation.
Troops to the number of 125,000 will
be concentrated on the frontier bj
Monday and another 30,000 are being
equipped. The inobiliziation centers
of the government are overwhelmed
with volunteers, and it has been de-
cided to enroll no more recruits for
the present.
The Bulgarian government has
framed a reply £o the Russo-Austrian
note, and it is understood will pres-
ent it to the representatives of those
countries tomorrow. In effect the
reply declares representations of the
powers are vague and were made at
too late a date.
The military prospects of the ap-
proaching war are so complicated
that experts are staggered and unable
to make prophecies, while political
conditions are still more complicated.
Bad Faith Mentioned.
Vienna and St. Petersburg news-
papers are printing articles hinting
bad faith. The Austro-Hungarian
press accuses Russia of secretly
backing the combination against Tur-
key. A section of the French press
blames Great Britain, declaring she
^evented.the powers from making a.
strong stand against the war.
Europe is amazed at Turkey's ]-
ure to accept the Italian peace terras
at this critical moment, and is also-
worried because in Italy's parti* a—
tion in the war there is dang — of
drawing in other powers.
Washington, October 14.—Repre-
sentative Albert Sydney Burleson,,
chairman of the Chicago Speakers*
bureau for the democratic National
organization, who arrived here with
National Chairman McCombs, f aid
tonight Texans are doing sple did
work in the interest of the Wilson
and Marshall ticket.

day to join W. J. Bryan in Ohio and

Northern States with the NebrasKan.

paigning in Iowa. Representative

sylvania. Representative W. R.
