A despatch from London says: The dismemberment of Turkey runs .'n apace. On Monday Bulgaria de- clared herself independent; Tues- day night the Emperor Francis Joseph of Austria proclaimed the practical annexation of the prov- inces of Bosnia and Herzegovina to the dual monarchy; and on Wed- nesday Crete broke away from the Ottoman Empire and claimed the protection of Greece. Meanwhile the Governments of Great Britain, France and Russia are working to hl ing order out of the chaos which the virtual destruction of the Ber- lin treaty has caused. Turkey has virtually agreed to refrain from taking hostile measures against Bulgaria and Austria pending ac- tion by the powers. She will, how- ever, enter a formal protest against the annexation of her ter- ritory by Austria. The indepen- dence of the Bulgarians she has al- ready declined to recognize. Tur- key is anxious for peace in the in- terests of internal reform, and if the pride of the Young Turks can hI ook the loss of so much territory it. is believed there will be no blood - Britain is not particularly desir- ous of calling a conference of the powers to deal with the situation in the near east. She would much eyelet. that the Berlin treaty should not be revised, and that the mat- ter should be settled without refer- ence to the signatories of that pact. Consequently, she is advising Tur- key to try to conte to terms with Austria and Bulgaria. Should a conference become necessary, how- ever, Great Britain would become a party thereto, but only after hav- ing bent all her efforts to limiting the scope of the congress. Britain's reply to the notification of Austria's intentions with regard t.► Bosnia and Herzegovina is prac- tieetly the same as that made to Bulgaria. The British Ambassador at Vienna has been instructed to ut ge upon the Austro-Hungarian Government the necessity of recon- sidering its action, and the British Government notifies the Austro- Hungarian Government that it is unable to sanction any infraction of the treaty of Berlin or consent t' any alteration thereof without previous consultation with the other powers, and in this case especially with Turkey. MAY CALL .CONFERENCE. A despatch from Paris says: It was announced on Wednesday af- ternoon that France and Great Bri- tain are in complete accord on the principle of an immediate interna- tional conference to consider the Bulgarian situation. Russia and Italy also are in favor of such a conference, and even Germany is expected to adhere to the proposal. Furthermore, the latest advices from Constantinople indicate that the Porte will accept the advice of France and Great Britain and await the result of this congress. SERVIAN RESTLESSNESS. A despatch from Vienna says: The Servian restlessness is irritat- ing the Government and inflaming the public here. The newspapers print serious reports of the war temper being displayed by the Ser- vlans, which it is feared will force King Peter's Government into an invasion of Busitia. To this is as- cribed the military precautions Au- stria is taking on the Servian fron- tier, such as guarding bridges and tunnels. Four Danube gunboats Lave gone southward from Buda- pest. as part of the precautionary measures. The newspapers warn Servia not to yield to illusions, hich might end in her losing her independence. WITH TEARS IN THEIR EYES. Strikers Appeal to Mayor Payette to Intercede. with C. P. R. A despatch from Montreal says: A large deputation of C.P.R. strik- ers called upon Mayor Payette on Wednesday, and told a pitiful tale. They say that, notwithstanding the e.nnouncenlent made in the papers, when they applied for positions on \\'ednesday morning at the C.R.R. Angus shops fur reinstatement, they were told their places were filled. They r.sked the Mayor to intercede on their behalf with the C.P.R. They said they had been deceived 1)-. the labor leaders, who told them that unless they struck their wages w -i uld tie reduced. They say they tire entirely upon their uppers, and that there are hundreds like thein, whose families will starve unless they get work at once. Some of the deputation broke into tears, and Ald..1. 13..1.

A despatch from New York says: After rescuing an aged woman from a burning house ,on Wednesday, Policeman Nir•hulas Nester of Jer- sey ('ity plunged again int.. the 1l:tzing building and stet death by i,uffecati,►n. Firemen found his body four hears afterw'ardM in an unburned part of the house. After turning in the alarm for the fire, which he had found in the cellar, Nester rushed upstairs, aroused the sleeping inmates, and returning to the street turned in a second alarm. Meanwhile all had escaped except- ing Mrs. Wittenbert. Nestor fought his way to her room, and taking her in his arms carried her through the flames to the sidewalk and re- turned to the building. BABY ON COW -CATCHER. Some Distance, But Not Badly Hurt. A despatch from West Toronto says: While wheeling her eighteen months old baby in a carriage over the Weston road railway crossing en Thursday evening Mrs. J. Os- borne of McRoberts avenue, in Fork township, was run down by (:rand Trunk Railway train No. 9, which does not stop here. Tho Nvuman was thrown violently into the ditch, and the baby was carried along some distance on the cow- catcher, hut escaped serious injury. Mrs. Osborne had her lower jaw l i(ken, and received other painful injuries. No serious results are anticipated. A double track has re- cently been placed at this crossing, ane; it. is thought ;11 rs. Osborne be- came confused when the train ap- proached.
