Washington. t>ct. 21.?Official In? terest her* today centered upon the situation In Mexico, where the re? bellion has taken on a new und for? midable phase as a result of the re? volt of Oen. Felts L>t \a. The return to Washington of Sec? retary Knox from hl? Japansese trip; the presence here of >lenry Lane Wil? son, ambassador to Mexico, and in? teresting and important developments In the military situation at Vera Crus, held by Dlas, within the past two <fa>i were elements that served to centrate attention upon the Mexican trouble. As Secretary Knox was accompan? ied from Chicago to Washington by Assistant Secretary Huntington Wil? son, he found himself upon his ar? rival hare this morning well informed of all save the >ery latest develop menta Probably in consequence, the conference, which was expected to take place between Secretary Knox and Ambassador Wilson, was deferred for a time. The ambassador probably will have an opportunity to discuss the situa? tion and receive suggestions that may ho thought necessary for his guidance In the confidential tslk with Secre? tary Knox before the latter leaves Washington tomorrow night to Join President Taft at Beverly. Tbe one fact that stands out clear? ly today is that, although the am? bassador has conferred at length with Acting Secretary Adse and the offi? ciate of tbe State department who are charged principally with the conduct ef Mexican relations, nothing he has communicated has Influenced the offi? ciate to change the clearly definite policy of non-intervention in Mexico. This V* true even in the face of semi? official admssions that ttw revolution? ary ro< vement in Mexico has assum? ed a much more serious aspect than ever before, and that a coalition be? tween the forces of the rebel lead era, PsrV*. w*? for the naat year has maiuiuoed a ff r* IgfcM rebellion al saeet In sight of the Mexican Capital, and oen. Feil\ Dtasj, reputed to be support* d by the powerful Cicntifico party, might jeoparuuu? u.r vgffj eg faience of the Madero Government, to far. however, it cannot be estab? lished that these leaders have agreed to make common cause. I The military situation at Vera Crux, according to the last reports to the department, was extremely critical. Ttsuwk there was promise of an im? portant battle between the Piaz forcee and the Federal army QgJsV mandsd by Oen. U dtran. it was con Bdently expected the important .'>r eigrn interests in Vera Cruz would es? cape Jeopardy and loss of the .lves of non-combatants be averted by an agreement beU een the two com? manders to do their fighting outside tbe city limits. Qen. Ueltran told the foreign con? suls that he would transmit to his Ooveinnvnt their request to retrain from bombarding the town or fighting in the streets. For his part den. 1 nu/, who is in complete possession of the city prop? er, offered to the consuls all possible guarantees to life and property so long as he maintained control. With the leaders on both sides In this frame of Bind the consuls felt re? assured. s\as)sjfsjggg |g today s repetts every* thins In Vera Crus Is quu-t and Is likely to rggsaln so unless the Feder? al gunboat* f,miil urd the city.

New York, Oct. 21.?An opening los? was foil >wed by almost a full re? covery in the cotton market to-day, but the improvement was barely main? tained, and while the final tone was steady at an advance of 2 points on October, last prices were generally lat> points net lower. The market started easier at a de? cline of 5a9 points under liquidation by buyers ot late last week, who were doubtless disappointed by the failure of the weather map to show any un? favorable developments of importance over Sunday and by easier Liverpool cables. Private advices claiming large offerings of actual and Continenal sell? ing, tended to increaae bearish confi? dence around the local ring, particu? larly as the Continental selling was supposed to reflect a bearish view of affairs in the Balkans. There was considerable buying for foreign account in the local market, ho-vever, while there was also a little support from some of the leading spot brokers and as soon as the wetither forecasts were published, prices work? ed up to within a point or so of Satur? day's finals. After the close of Liver? pool had shut out arbitrage business, the buying here became less active and the market here was more or less inactive. Prices sagged off 5 or 6 points from the best during the middle of the day under liquidation by earlier buy? ers for a turn, who found that frost predictions for North Texas and Ok? lahoma had not stimulated outside demand to any material extent, but Southern selling here was not us much of a feature as had been pre? dicted on Saturday and the market later In the afternoon turned firmer on bullish spot positions. Most po? sitions reached the highest level of the day during the last hour. ROOSKVFLT gobs home. SI lows no III Effects From Long Train | Hide. Un Beard RoOaeS/aH Car. P!*: ? bur-.

HUblirbanitOf ami Othetv Now Peram? bulate to BtUHneue ami Elsewhere Unless The) Have Hack Fare. -? Columbia. Oct. 82.?-Not a single street car has moved in Columbia for two days. As a result numerous Columbians have been obliged to flex their gastrocnemii muscles to an un acustomed degree in their goings and comings. Neither the striking street railway employes nor the company have made any move toward a settle? ment of their disagreement. Everybody, lacking hack and auto? mobile fare, walked yesterday, the children to schools, the surhurbanites to business and those unclaimed by other affairs to the circus. Colum? bians placidly spent their second per? ambulating day. Everybody was doing it, except the plutocrats with hack fare. The dwellers in Columbia's thriv? ing suburbs, Shandon, Eau Claire, Hidgewood, Ardtn, College Place, Waverely and Colonial Heights, are very much inconvenienced as a re? sult of the strike of the motormen I and conductors of the Columbia ' Electric, Gas and Street Railway com? pany. The citizens of Olympia and Granby mills on the southern out? skirts of Columbia are also seriously dlsadvantaged. The children had to walk to the schools and to the c.rcus and then back home. There has been no Interruption of business as a result of the strike. The circus in Columbia yesterday drew hundreds of people to the heart of the city. The merchants had a good day in spite of the fact that the weather was disagreeable and drizzly. The coating of rust on the rails of all the street car lines has had plenty of time to accumulate. The nervous mothers of fidgety children extracted a crumb of comfort from the strike yesterday. They were fully assured that their obstreperous younglings would not be run over by street cars while In animated contemplation of the circus parade. Except for the po? tentialities in the heavy feet of the herd of elephants, "every cloud?" for the mothers yesterday.

WAR NEWS STILL STORY OP t W IMPORTANT BRUSHES. iiu|M>rtaiit Battles, However, Are Said to be Imminent?Stark Conflict i \ pected ut Adrlanople. London, Oct 21,?War news still is the story of comparatively uninter? esting small engagements involved in manoeuverlng for position, while the Turkish and Balkan forces are assem? bling and preparing for big events. When the allied states declared war it was assumed Turkey had by no means concentrated her troops. More? over Turkey still was hoping to de? tach Greece from the confederation. Her failure to do this undoubtedly necessitated some change in the strategic plans and she still needed time to transport her troops to the required positions, hence the falling back of the small Turkish garrisons from numerous frontier posts is of no great significance. The Servian army is advancing steadily and now has its headquar? ters at Vranya in the movement against Uskup. The Greeks have cap? tured Disslkata, from which position the Turks retired to the town of Scrvia, where a big battle is expected shortly. According to a Constantinople re? port, an important battle is imminent at Adrianople. Meanwhile the rival fleets are active, the Greeks blockad? ing the Island of Lemones and the Turkish bombarding Kavarna and Varna. A report of the sinking of a Bul? garian torpedo boat is discredited at Constantinople, where it is stated the Turkish warships in the Black sea fired at torpedo boats, but the latter took refuge in port, the warships not venturing to follow for fear of mines. The Greek consul at Cardiff, under instruction from bis government, is laying claim to all the Greek tonnage entering that port. Every vessel so commandered becomes the property of the Greek government and the captain an officer of the Greek navy Ship owners have requested the Brit? ish foreign office to protect them against this procedure.

It is asserted that in the fighting around Elassona the Greeks lost 1,500 killed. FOB A DEMOCRATIC SENATE. Vigorous Fight Planned by Present .Minority in Upper House.
