Nov. 7.?The last 21 hours haw brought little news of import? ance from the seat of war. The re? port that Saloniki has been evacuated ta premature and a similar report con? cerning Monastlr still is unconfirmed. There is no authentic news of the al? leged defeat of the Turka before TchataJJa. The Turkish reports of the war, however, have been so consistently mtsleadlng ss to have little value. The present lull In news may mean that some important action Is pro? ceeding. In the meantime dlplo saatlc efforts to end the war are mak? ing no progress and the European press Is busy discussing all aspects of the settlement of the difficult ques Hons, Everything tends to show that almost Irreconcilable antagonism will arise over the allotment of Tur? kish territory, i-ervla elaims as he' share a large part of Albania, incl Ins the Adrati ? ports of Dur ?o, Alesaio and San Giovanni dl Med ja. According to the Servian premier's Statement to the Paris Temps, the al? lies desire the partition of European Turkey, leaving the fate of Constan? tinople to ths decision of the powers. According to reports current In Ber lta the intention of allies Is to dlvlds Albania between Servia and Greece, but an agreement already ex? ists between .Austria and Italy, which would be supported by Q?rm%py, guaranteeing the Integrity and inde? pendence of Albania, and the Triple Alliance is determined at all costs to present Servia from reaching the Ad? riatic. It Is even asserted that the Triple Alliance has agreed to make Albania Independent with the Duke of the Abnrzxi as king, Another Important meeting took place at Bucharest today between the Roumanian premier and the Russian and Austrian ministers. It is re? ported the powers tomorrow will fomn. ml at* to the Balkan States Turkey's request for mediation.

Hoard of In India Centuries Before Game fowls have been in existence as long as poultry has been known. Records show that game fowls of some kind existed in India for cen? turies before the Christian era. His? tory refers to cockfights as one of the Roman pleasures, and cocking mains havo beeu popular all through English history. The original black-breasted red game was of the pit game or fighting type, which is commonly known as the old English black red game. The latter still exists as one of the stand? ard varieties of pit games, but the exhibition type is plainly the result of careful selection and breeding by fanciers, who have succeeded in per? fecting a game fowl that is entirely different in form and feather from its fighting progenitor. These exhibition games have lost little of the fiery game temper, and if two of the males get together they will fight as savagely as their pit game progenitors and, if not separt ed by the attendant the battle will continue until one of the contestants Is dead. The exhibition black-breasted red game Is a variety whose utility qualities are very limited, and it is bred chiefly by a number of fanciers, who admire its extreme height, beau? tiful coloring and what is to them graceful lines. It is bred more extensively In Eng? land than in America, and In the for? mer country competition among the breeders Is very keen. Many high class specimens have been Imported Into this country at big prices. These fowls are notable for their width pi sh< aiders, full. heavily must led breast, long legs and neck, short, ta;.- ring tail and general thort m !?m tti.vi hardness al feathers, For sho* intrpeesf it i necessary t< cut off the comb and wattles from the males, a process known as "dub? bing." This gives the head a long, lean appearance. The black-red male la beautifully colored. His head, neck, back, top of wings and secondary flight feathers are red and the breast, body, tall and wing bow a glossy gr??en black. The female is clothed in soft and modest shades of brown. Her neck is gold? en yellow with a dark strip down the centre of each feather. Her breast la salmon, blending into the brown of the thighs. The back, thighs and body are brown, finely penciled with .? darker shade g| the same color. Black red games are not easily handled. They are pugnacious. This prevents the keeping of more than one male in a flock, and if one of the females has been removed from the pen for a short time and then put back the others will f.ght and kill her unless carefully watched. They are. however, readily confined, being heavy and having very short wings, which prevents them from flying easily. They make excellent t |bli fowls, having extremely well dev? loped breasts and big, heavy thighs. The eggs are brown In color and enjoy thS reputation of possessing a particularly rich flavor. The chicks are not easily reared Unless the weather conditions are good, A series of heavy rains often will cams the (bath of many chicks. Tak?n altogether, the rearing of black breasted red games iH a problem for the man who takes a keen interest In breeding f??r results that are not easy to get and (b lights In surmount? ing obstacles to his auccess LYON WILLING TO ACCEPT. \ttorncy General Announces That He Will Take Otticc If Appointed by President.

Will Bo ??Ik-wt JLLstoiier In United States" for Months Before Muklng De? cislons. Princeton, N. J., Nov. 7.?Presi? dent-elect Woodrow Wilson has not decided upon the personnel of his Cab? inet nnd he intends to keep his mind Open on the subject for a long time before he takes office. He manifestly was concerned today about certain speculations emanating from Prince? ton with respect to the probable make up of his Cabinet. To put an end if possible to all gossip about Cabinet appointments, he Issued the following statement: "Such speculations aie perfectly fruitless. I mean to keep my mind en? tirely optn with regard to appoint? ments of the first consequence until a final announcement is possible. It will be perfectly useless to resort to me for corroboration of any report because I shall have absolutely noth? ing to answer. No announcement will have the least authority that is not made over my own signature. These are matters which must be determin? ed by very deliberate counsel and not by gossip." There is every reason to believe that Woodrow Wilson, both as Presi? dential nominee and President-elect, has not only not discussed the fram? ing of a Cabinet with anybody, but will not make any final decision un? til after he maps out his own course of action with regard to his admin? istration. From hie announced inten? tion of being the ?'best listener in the United States" for a few months, it is probable that until he- has talked with party leaders and takea counsel with people all over the country he will not let his mind deal specifically with appointments. The President-elect said tonight that he considered the tinae between his election and his inauguration a ; period in which he should listen very ; carefully to true ideas of the men en? lightened and informed on notional I questions and that it was "a public duty" for him to do so. The President-elect was confront sd tonWrht with reports about Ifcfa pro? posed racatles ft?* said any definite snnouscement that be was go^ug to Bermudas was not auChortnsd "For t^e reano'i th*t i .:rn goini; assay I to rest/' he addeu, "1 will have announcement of my plans to make until the day before I start." Ho said If he did take a sea trip he certainly would not go on a private yacht, but would go as any other person would, on a regular steamer. He is anxious for a vacation and It is likely he will get away within a fortnight. Governor Wilson had a busy time With his correspondence and tele- i grams today. Callers came In a steady 1 procession in spite of the rain and muddy roads* President Edwin A* Alderman, of the University of Vir? ginia, and I>e?n Richard Dabney, of the same institution, paisl a visit of compliment. Peyton Cecil ran and Col. Armi- 1 stead Gordon, both of SLaamton, Va., t!^e birthplace of Woodrew Wilson, came to invite him to visit the little town again. They told him they were arranging for a "birthplace jubilee" I for him. He promised to come and! they left it to him to. select a con? venient date. The President-elect paid It probably would be during the month of I>ecember, though he was not sure whether It would be on or near his birthday, December 2S, when he will be 5t years old. BEN TILIAIAN. JR.. BRINGS St IT. Ho|hx ti> Gain PWsnrsslon of Two Children ? Case Before Supremo Court? Hdgefleldi Nov. 6.? Benjamin li. TlUman, Jr.. son of Senator B. R. Tinnum, has taken legal BJtSpa to gain possession of bis tWO daughteru Lucy Frances and Sarah Stark?-, who are now in the possession of their mother. Mrs. Lucy Dugas. Habeas corpus proceedings have been Institu? ted, an order signed by chief Justice Gary having been issued today and made returnable before the entire Su? preme Court on November 26., A copy of the order was served upon Mrs, i hjgas t his afternoon. it is recalled thai the contest for possession of the two little girls bus already been passed upon by the Su? preme Court of South Carolin.i, the decision being In favor of the mother. The case was heard three or four ? irs ago, when Ira 13, Jones w;is ;i member of the Supreme Court, and its Chief Justice; the Courl at ttmt 11in? was composed of but tour mem tiers.

Greenville Politician Who Engineer? ed Arrest of Opponent on Serious Chnrge HSs Not Rennt laist of Mal? ter. Tho arrest of GUreath on the charge of having aided Vaughan to escape from the Greenville jail is still a mat? ter of absorbing interest to Greenville people. The letter of Gov. Hlease to Mr. GUreath In explanation of his part in causing the arrest has served to intensify the feeling against Rector, the sheriff-elect, who after defeating GUreath In the primary by only six? teen votes, took it upon himself to have warrants issued for Gilrealh and two others on the statement of Vaughan that they had aided him to escape. Rector seems to have been an officious and vindictive busybody in this matter, as he went over the head of Sheriff Poole, and justified his action by saying that he had been ordered to make the arrests by Gov. Hlease. Gov. Hlease s statement puts a new phase on the matter and leaves Hector in a worse plight than he was before. In addition to Gov. BlSSSe'S statement, Solicitor Ronham now comes forward and asserts that in? stead of advising Hector to make the arrests he advised against this course. The following statement was sent out from Greenville Thursday in refer? ence to Solicitor Honham's attitude in the case: "A statement frorrt Solicitor Bon ham, secured) tonight from Walhalla, Where he is hiding court, denied em? phatically that he advi.*ed RectoT to make the arrsSS, On the contrary the solicitor declared fte advised Rector not to make the; arrest on Vaughan's testimony. He said ho told Hector if he woulS- wait a week he would go to Columbia and- see the governor in person as to the matter. It is understood ttsre tonigftt that suits will be brought against ah par? ties who had a hand in the arrest." Correction in Lou Angeles County Fig urea Put Colonel Ahead by 130 Vote*.

It resulted in adding nei.rly 6,000 votes to the Roosevelt column, giving Roosevelt a temporary lead of about 500 in the State at large. Roosevelt carried Los Angeles city and county by a plurality of 20,!!57, with seven precincts missing.
