AfUr a final d. si.? ? r.11? ? attack lasting H hours the Montenegi In troops for* ed their way into Scutari Tin- fortress for six months, since the middle "t October I'M.', has offered a stubborn and he r. defame. The tierce final assault which gave the Montenegrins possession of the City which has been the sole object of their war against Turkey, began on .Monday night. The Montenegrin army took the offensive along the en? tire front. They completely surprised the ottoman defenders by pushing right up to the Turkish positions, v here they engaged in close bayonet fighting. The Ottoman soldiers made a num? ber of counter attacks and tried with their utmost energy to drive the at? tacking force from their works, but they were finally compelled to fall back and leave their positions in the bands of the besiegers, who received constant reinforcement*. It was midnight last night when the Montenegrins obtained their footing in the fortress and detachments of the besiegers entered the city at 4 o'clock this morning. According to ana report, Besaad Pasha, the Turkish commander-in i hief, recognized the uselessness of further resistance after the outlying key position of Tarakos had lall? n He is said then to have ordered his troops to cease their defense of I be fortress. Anothor report says that the Monte? negrin ootnmander-in-chief had been negotiating with Kssaad Pasha since Monday for the surrender of the place, Still another account says that the Turkish troops defended the city un? til the last. Although the Servian troops did not participate in the final attack, their artillery was used by the Montenegrin gunners, and it was said that to this fact their success was largely due. The aOt ?>f capitata!!', n was signed by the Turkish commander Rhortly after the Montenegrin troops had reached the centre of the city. I'nder the conditions providing for the surrender of Scutari to the Mon? tenegrins today the Turkish garrison was permitted to march out of the City with its arms. The Vossische says that in this case the pressure of the Pan-Slavic opin? ion on the Russian government must t>e taken into consideration. The Tageblatt Hees as a sole solution ? of the difficulty a mandate given by a conference of the ambassadors of the powers in London to Italy and Aus? tria, or to Austria alone, to occupy Scutari. The first tidings of the fall of Scutari were received at I o'clock in the morning in a telegram from the ciown prime to the king. The popu? lace was immediately appraised of the news by the firing of salvos. Tum? bling out of bed, the peo'de assembled at the palace, cheering mthusisatlcal ly. Prom the balcony King Nicholas addressed his people and in full view* of the crowds ganttfff ied the repre? sentatives of the allies who called to < "gratulate him. The Turks b. tore capitulating had nearly exhausted their ammunition. By the tei ms of the surrender Ihej mart had aul ai the town with ihe honors of war, bearing their email arms and retaining also some light guns. PI HI IN MUCH WORRIED. P.vrlln.

Boeton, April ?Declaring them? selves 'spokesmen for tin- cotton In-' dustry In whic h is directly concerned the welfare and livelihood of over 2, 000,000 people distributed over a huge area of the United states," the dele? gates to the annual convention of the National Association Of Manufacturers today adopted resolutions unanimous-! ly protesting against the rates on cot? ton manufactures proposed In the new tariff bill. The resolution proteetts against what is termed the "threatened crip-1 pling of this industry in the name of revenue and practical regulation When neither can possibly be regard? ed as the eatentlal features of the bill in its present form; and when there is no need whatever for mono polpllatlc curbing, nothing even re? motely approaching monopoly exist? ing in this industry, and at a time when this industry has been suffering for the peel three or four years a pe riof of unexampled depression on ac? count <d" overproduction with attend? ant domeetlc competition In Its bit-* tereet and most relentless form."' The cotton manufacturers "urge upon congress such modifications of the bill as will bring it, at least, with? in the expressed and declared plat? form upon which the political party in power was slseted and c harged with the responsibility of this tariff rsvls ioi," to Montenegro, Russia herself can not do so without straining to the break? ing point hsr Slavophile ruling classes. Under the circumstances, ac? cording to the opinion in well inform? ed quarters, the only possible CQvoe Is for the ambassadorial conference at London to reconelder its decision re garding Scutari. <>nly minor demonstrations on the fall of Scutari occurred in St. Peters* burg; the public being absorbed in Passion week and the coining Eas? ter celebrations. No serious "hitch in ftp) peace negotiations is expected. T IMPRESSION IN ROME. t if Success of Montenegrins AroAscs Much Interest There. lsOmc, April LM.?The capture of Scutari by the Montenegrins has caused a great impression here. The s\n c ? ss of the Montenegrins has complicated the situation, as Monte-1 negro will undoubtedly refuse to j evacuate the city. This will make c oer< ion more difficult than when they only aimed at forcing Montenegro to abandon the siege. SERVIANS GO WILD. Montenegrin's Victory Brings Great Joy to Belgrade. Belgrade, April 31 ?Not even Ser? vian victorious during the war caused anytllng like the scenes of enthus? iasm which were witnessed here to? day over the taking of Scutari by Montenegrins. Business was at a standstill while the whole population gave Itself over to rejoicing, Law? yers, mere bants, soldiers and work? men danced in the streets to the strains of music. Wine may almost be 'said to base been flowing In trie gutters, for everywhere barrels were broken, and all were free to drink to the victory of the Montenegrins and the gbu y of ' greater Sei via." The Tribune, which is considered the mouthpiece of the foreign Office, I iys that the international situation brought about by the capture Of Scu? tari by the Montenegrins Is grave and exceptionally dilllcult. It adds that a collision between tin- conflicting in? terests can only be averted by the i maintenance' ol the equity of Europe which must find energy for Immediate ami precise action. Any hesitation might compromise European peace. The city is brilliantly illuminated tonight, King Peter addressed a vast crowd from th balcony of the palace ami declared thnl the Servian nation's io\ was unbounded. ARMISTICE EXTENDED.

Urge Members of Fine nee Committee to Alter Provisions of Measure to Suit Western Interests. Washington, April 23.?Unless Western senators opposed to free wool and free sugar in three years convince President Wilson that the 1'nderwood tariff bill, which the Democratic house caucus and ho himself have indorsed, should be Changed, they will lind these provisions stamped with the approval of the Democrats of the senate finance committee w hen the'j i>ill is brought before the Democratic cauc us of the senate. For three hours today six senators from States wast of the Missouri river argued with a majority of the Democrats of the finance committee against free wool and free sugar. They were listened to attentively and may be heard again. When they had completed their arguments, however, the com mlttee had not changed its opinion that the bill as agreed to by the house caucus, in so far as wool ami sugar were concerned, would be pre? sented in the same form to the sen? ate. The Democrats of the committee who are examining the Underwood hill have not reached the sugar or Wool paragraphs but it was the plain intention of the majority to approve them. There was no talk at the "confer-1 e Ce" today of a bolt among the sen? ators who opposed putting these ar? ticles on tin- free list. The opinion was expressed that those who appeared In behalf of sugar and wool might see Dies (lent Wilson within a few days and discuss the reason for their opposition with him. The llrst plan of Senator Newlands, who brought about the conference, was to have the president at today's hearing. At the suggestion of influ? ential members of the finance com? mittee, however, this plan was aban? doned. RETAINS OLD COUNCIL, Tlmmonsville Itc Mayor And Aldermen Two.
