Those at a distance occasionally could catch a glimpse of a smiling face acknowledging greetings. A po? liceman m uniform and officers in plain clothes aided In the progress of the distinguished guests. Mr. Bryan, who had ceased in the destruction of some sort of a chop auey. masquerading under a French tame, turned his head slowly as his giolitlcal Tival drew near, smiling ?tightly. The dramatic moment, which had been anticipated with such deep Interest wss soon over. Mr. Bryan's hand awaited that of Mr. Taft. A sin tTle, lingering pressure, a word or so which none oould overhear because of the tumult and the Republican leader passed on to a chair at the tight of Mr. Hall.

Revolution, of the People?Vast Crowd Gather* to Consummate Peaceful Coalition. Paris, Oct. 7.?The people on the Island of Crete, stirred by the events In southeastern Europe, the independ? ence of Bulgaria and the annexation of Bosnia and Hersegovlna by Aus? tria, have arisen and proclaimed a un? ion with Greece. The Turkish government has sent to the powers a circular protesting against the Bulgarian proclamation and asking the powers what steps they mean to take looking to the reestabllshment of order in Bulgaria and the maintenance of Turkey's in? terests, which were guaranteed by the treaty of Berlin. Great Britain, in reply to the proclamation of Aus? tria-Hungary's annexation of Bosnia and Herzegovina, has refused its sanc? tion to this action and has practically requeeted the Austro-Hungarian gov? ernment to reconsider It. Both Premier Asqu'.th and Foreign Secretary Grey in public addresses touched upon the Balkan question, the former asserting that the British government would not Ftand alone among the powers in its present at? titude, the latter expressing the belief that nothing has happened thus far that would lead to a breach of the peace. In Servla there is popular clamor for war against Austria-Hungary, and the Servian glvernment has issued an appeal to the powers requesting them to restore the status quo, or else to grant Servia compensations. Italy, through Signor Tltlonl. the foreign minister, has demanded that In addition to the evacuation of Xovi pasar, Austria renounce the protecto? rate which she has exercised over Montenegro under the Berlin treaty. Italy Is one with Great Britain, France and Russia In counseling the holding of a conference of the powers for the purpose of examining into the complications that have arisen, and, if necessary, revising the treaty of Berlin. x LAME EVERY MORNING.

Congressman Long worth's remarks were substantially as follows: I must thank the chairman for launching my candidacy for an office to which I have not expired?I should say aspired. My chances for that of? fice have "expired." I had thought that a good ticket for the Republican's for the next eight years would be Wil? liam Howard Taft, of Ohio; and for the eight years after that Theodore Roosevelt, of New York, then for eight years after that my good friend here James S.

Oct. 10.?Lord Xorth cliffe, the head of the Ilarmsworth corporation, which own the London Daily Mail and thirty-five other Eng? lish publications, accompanied hy Lady Xortheliffe, his mother. Mrs. flarmsworth and Mrs. Algernon Douglas Pennant, is In Xew York. He is to take two months' holiday hetv, and incidentally to watch the election in Xovember. 'Personally I have come for a lit? tle holiday, to look on at the election and to talk with many old American friends," he said. "I notice that some of the American newspaper! are smaller in size than they used to be. and I fancy that not even yet have they reached the limit in that direc? tion. Paper must eventually rise in price. Prodigal extravagance in the Utting down of forests, forest flres and the increased demand for the wood of the spruce tree, caused by the growth of newspapers all over the world, must have only one end, unless some of your inventive geniuses can help the situation by discovering a substitute for wood-pulp. Some 5, 000 different materials have been tested, but vainly. There is nothing like wood. ' "Even American resourcefulness apd initiative cannot grow a paper Ufee in fewer than thirty-iive to fifty rears. Therefore, in my opinion, many of your daily Journals must re? duce their size or increase their price in the future. I am in favor of the smaller rather than the dearer news paer. although'I have no rooted preju? dice either way." Night Riders In Ala ha ma.

"It is reported that several of the negroes have received anonymous let? ters telling them if they did not leave the county they would bf killed and their houses have recently been fired into. "The negroes are badly tightened and are hiding in the woods, being afraid to remain in their homes', at night.
