Nov. 2H.?The Servians, Ig? noring the proclamation of Albanian Independence, ha*e occupied the port of Duraaso without resistance. This Information c ?mos In a direct dis? patch from that town tonight. Thus the conflict Is raised to acute form be? tween Austria and Servla and It re? mains to be seen whether the Aus? trian government will take any direct action ir will be eontrnt to have the question for after the war settlement. The Pervia action, coupled with the eminently warlike feeling pr? | I Ing at Vienna, Is likely to keep Eu? rope In a state of anxiety. On the other hand the fact that the negotiu tions are progressing at Haghtche arm that there is no sign <>f the resump? tion of operations on the Tchatalja lines while the great powers are ex? changing proposals for the i ssembling of a European coniereru e. all make for a peaceful settlement. 8hould the proposed conference materialise ? for apparently Austria has not yet consented to participate? It would be considered as preparatory to a later conference, which would nclude the Balkan Statea ant. Tur *ey, for a final settlement of iS oues .ton*. Nothing as to where the con? ference will take place has been given out Great secrecy la preserved re? garding the conference at Haghtche and it is not known whether the prin? ciples are discussing on armistice or peace. It is reported from Rome that a provisional Albanian government has aeen constituted at Avalon by 80 Al? banian delegates. The Turkish fleet with the exception >f the cruiser Hamldieh Is reported tf special correspondents fca Constan? tinople to be ready to go out and Ight. It Is still doubtful, however, rhethrr the Ottoman military author ties will agree to allow its use against .he Greek fleet despite the reported ntrntlon of the Greeks to transport urge forces to Xeros bay behind the Dardanelles.

President of Freshman class; Miss Katie Pitta basbet-ball manager of freshman claas. Many improvements are being made around the college. An annex is being added to the infirmary, the laundry is being enlarged, and pre? parations are being made for enlarg ing the auditorium.

Tiie senate committees not only SXerclse a practical control over all legislation {>t congressi but they will Control no little patronage. The agi? tation In Democratic ranks has arisen from the fact thai a few Democrats U>ng in the senate held the ranking position on practically all the impor? tant committees. If the rules of seniority are followed, each win be * allowed to pick the chairmanship of j one of these committees, and at the same time hold second position on others. Senators Baqon, Tlllman and Mar? tin, who entered the senate in lb'Ju, head the Democratic membership of many committees. Senator Tlllman Is the ranking Democratic member of eight committees and under the sen? iority system would be entitled in the new congress to take the chairman? ship of one and hold the second place on till the others. Under the pro? posed plan, he would be entitled to select a Chairmanship but then would have to give second place on the oth? er committee to members not now holding important positions. Among the committees over which Senator Tillman would exercise con? trol are appropriations, interstate commerce and naval affairs. Senator Hacon commands the first place on five committees among them foreign relations, Judiciary and rules, three of the best committees of the list.
