(By Associated Press.)
London, July 27.?An engagement
between Auetrlans and Servians Is
reported to have occured on the Dan
ube, but no details are available and
it is not believed to have been of im
portance. Austria has not yet open
ed her military operations so far as
can be learned.
Meanwhile, diplomacy is proceed
ing along two separate lines, to
avert the war if possible. First, Sir
Edward Grey, the British secretary of
state for foreign affairs, has proposed
to the powers for joint mediation,
which, it is said France and Italy al
ready have accepted. Germany has
not yet replied and her acceptance ia
considered as doubtful.
Sir Edward Grey explained In the
House of Commons his Idea, which
was that Great Britain, France, Ger
many and Italy, cooperate in an en
deavor to arrange the dispute be
tween Austria and Servia on a bas
is of Scrvia'a reply to Austria's ulti
matum. Should the British foreign
secretary's efforts to avert war fail,
It Is expected that by some means he
will endeavor to avert complications
by confining the hostilities to Austria
and Servia. *
Bosnia Holds Key.
The secondi line of endeavor, from
which even' more is hoped for tonight
is' taking piacd at St. Pe ersburg bVi

caused his death, was given to a Jan

(By Associated Press.)
London. July 27?The llret effect of
the r vblir, home rule tragedy har.
been to smash Premier Asquith'e
plans tor taking up the amending bill
tomorrow. The premier announced
today that the question had been in
definitely,postponed. The Irish mem
bers are so exasperated over the kill
ing of four person and the wounding
of many others In the clash yesterday
with nationalist volunteers that they
are in no frame of mind to grant any
concessions to Ulster. The luborites
and many liberals support them.
'ine government announced In the
houee of commons today that Deputy
Police Commissioner Harrell, who or
dered out tho troops, had toen sii"
pended nnd that hie superior commh
sloner, Sir John Ross, who expressed
a deeire to share the responsibility,
has resigned. A special Inquiry will
be hold. In the meantime the demand
for the rcmovnl of the Scottish bor
derers from Dublin has not been
granted, largely because an attempt
to remove them would be tho signul
for attacks by the mobs.
The nationalist members of parlia
ment at a meeting today showed more
animus agaainet the castle than the
government.- They consider Viceroy
Aberdeen's official family prejudiced
against the nationalists.
A heated discussion was started in
the he use of commons by John Red
mond, the nationalist leader, who de
manded an impartial inquiry into the
conduct of the troops and their pun
ishment, if the shooting wag not jus
tified. He demanded aleo that the reg
iment be removed from Ireland,, that
the proclamation' against tho Importa
tion of arme Into Ireland be with
drawn and that the law be adminis
tered Impartially.
Mr. Redmond compared "this mon
strous business'' with the parades of
armed volunteers In Belfket. "To
such a state of impotence - has the
British government been reduced In
Ireland." he Bald, "that a subordinate
ottici al Is able to call In soldiers with
out consulting the executive of the
country."
He expressed the hope that the Irish
people would not blame the troops
too much nnd concluded amid cheers:
"FounAfth3 of the Irish people Will
not submit any longer to be bullied
and punished for conduct thut is al
lowed to go scot free in Ulrter by nn
other section of their fello */ country
men."
Augustus Birrell, chief secretary of
Ireland, blamed Deputy Commissioner
Harrell, who had assumed the whole
responsibility, but thecblef secretary
put the question up to Commissioner
Fobs as to whether he associated him
self with what had been done and de
clared that If ho did be would be sus
pended also.
Mr. Birrell said the major in com
mand of the detachment of Scottish
borderers had denied that he gave or
ders to Are on the people.
William Redmond: "He ought to be
hanged."
Lord Robert Cecil. "The ministers
ought to be hanged."
Mr. Harrell said the soldiers be
came exasperated after several of
them had received severe Injuries.
Andrew Bonar Law, leader of the
opposition, declared the government's
policy was responsible for the tragedy.
The prime minister defended tho
government's impartiality in attempt
ign to prevent tho importation of
arms. He concluded:
"The difficulties In Ireland are due
to the attempts in this house to gov
ern a people they cannot understand,
by a parliament imperfectly ec/iipped
for . the task."
Arthur J. Balfour and others criti
cised the government for making
scapegoats of officials. . / . -

CHARLESTON TO
GET TERMINAL
PRESIDENT HARRISON CON
FIRMS REPORT TO SEN
ATE AT MEETING
DENIES CHARGES
Says Statements. Made By B. L.
Dulaney Are Erroneous and
Without Foundation
(Dy AHBociated Prees.)
Washington, July 27.?Confirmation*
of the intention of tbo Southern Rail
way to build immediately p.t Charles
ton, S.C.. nn independent coal ter
minal, largely for Panama etnei traf
fic, was given today by President Fair,
fax Harrison before the special senate
committee Investigating the eoal rate
situation in the south.
Mr. Harrison told ut length of the
financial affairs of his road, oarticu-r
Iarly of its distress in 1008. His cross
examination tomorrow on tho finan
cial relations between the road and
its director? probably will conclude
the hearinge mntil next Decomber.
President Harrison said. Engineers
were now at work preparing plans for
the construction of a terminal to ac
commodate the loading of one ship at
a time at Charleston, and that it
would take from nine months to a year
to completo the work. He said he
had desired to arrang? to tise tbe pro
posed Clinchfleld road terminala at
Charleston, but after months of con
sideratlon he had. found; In May or
June last that this was Impossible be
cause of objections of shippers.
Costs Immense..^Sum
Mr. Harrison estant ed that It
would cost $11,300.000 t? put his road
from the Appalachian coal fields to
Charleston into proper jjhape for pro
fitable coal transportation and to com
plote the terminals at'Charleston
He said the charges to'the shipper
would be he same as that charged by
tho Norfalk & We?t?rtf'Trbm the Po?~
cahontae field, ajthcrjgh the expenso
[of. tho trame,-t??M^Ww?would 'be
I greater than overVt?W?HW-'lhb.
During his testimony MrV "HarrWdh
denied emphatically that bin road was
controlled Uy the t*c tailed "trust'*
coal interests, by other; railroads con
trolled by these Interests, or by -Wall'
street. He expressed tho opinion that
?. L. Dulaney, independent coal opera
tor of nrlstol, Tonn., who charged- tu
his testimony bad faith on the part of
the Southern toward coal operators
along its line, was suffering from
a "delusion of persecution."
President Harrison, referring to Mr.
Dulaney, said:
"I believe Mr. Dulaney has a deep
seated hatred for one or,two men who
have succeeded in' the. Virginia and
Scut h west er and Appalachian coal
fields whore he failed. Being unablo
to reach these two men ho attacked the
Southern Railway, as a railroad In
these days Is always a target for at
tack. ?.;'?:
Resents Charges).
"I resent with every flbro of my be
ing the charges of bad faith and chi
chancery brought atout tbo organi
zation of the Southern, and I think I
am supported therein by "that great
mass of people who have done busi
ness with ?s in th?' soutli. ! feel a
further resentment at the charge that
the direction of the policy of the
Southern Railway has boon in outside
hands and that the management has
been for any other Interest than that
of the south. Tbe ambition and policy
of the Southern has been to ta ko a
part In the regeneration. of the south,
and in that policy Its officers and man
agement all along bits' ' shaped Its
course." ? ' '
Refers t0 Growth*
President Harrison gav? a histori
cal description of tb?'gijowth of the
Southern, emphasizing particularly
the "brilliant campaign of railroad ac
quisition" carried on/by* ibe late.Pres
ident Spencer.
President Harrison waa questioned
regarding the Southern**'-parch ise o?
the Virginia & Southwestern railway,
which Dulaney charged waa effected
at an unnecessarily high ?gure.
"I asked Mr. Spencer vrny he paid
$200 a share for the Virginia and,
Southwestern," testified Mr. Harrleon,
"and he said he bad, toj jfe?t it?that
there was competition ,fvrSit and he
felt the Southern needed 'It to get to
the Appalachian field,* ' ;v 1 '
Mr. Harrison characterised aa "ahi
soin tel y untrue," tho eli argo made by
Dulaney that the Pennsylvania rail
road Influenced tho alf?ira 1 of the
Southern. He declared his company
had favored the development of hydro
electric power, saying. It developed
Industries and could .bring "glory '
enough for all.'* Vi''. .
In Hard Luck.
Mr. Harrison said th? sudden death*
of President Spencer loft tho company
with one of tho severast 'difficulties a
railway ever faced. ' -^r
"In ioos we came ai near disaster

Harrison. "A, railroad irlth income
