?Vtt m.ie. April IS ? 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.

little expectation here either that tie
Montenegrins will withdraw peace*

of the powers will stand the test of an
attempt lo oust them forcibly, ether

DENOUNCE SCHEDULE IN XEVt
TARIF MEASURE.
Manufacturers Say Piidorwood Revls
lon Threatens (rippling Industry,
Abroad) Enfeebled.
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

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.

TWO ITEMS LEFT TO WILSON
IMPORTANT SUGAR AND WOOL
RATES REST ON PRESIDENTS
DECISION.
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.

Pisguh, April 21.?Winter b:ia come

B lot of it will have to be planted ov?

hard to get. Those who have any
would demand almost prohibitive
prices. It would be the pound of

ing badly. A drought now would
ruin them so far as a full yield is con?
cerned.
There Is a fine effort being made to
