SERVIA AND BULGARIA REPLY.
Sofia, Oct. 14. -The Bulgarian and Ser-
vian Governments presented notes to the
Turkish, Austrian and Russian envoys
last evening. The note to Turkey is
stated to declare the neceesity of decen-
tralizing the administration of the vila-
yete, the appointment of Christian gov-
ernors, the establishment of an elective
counclistand proportional representation
of the various nationalitiee in the Par-
liament of Constantinople.
The Governments, failing to get a sat-
isfactory answer, will issue an ultima-
tum October 15.
The reply to Russia and Austria in
regard to the peace suggestions of the
powers and the proposals about reforms
by Turkey courteously remarks that one
of the most important clauses in their
note is obscure, and asks for an explana-
tion. within a short time. Jt it nder-
etood that the ateence of. any precise
mention of the guaranteee, for the car-
rying out of the reforms is the point in
question. The reply ie moderately word-
ed and explains the delay in anewering
by the neceseity of an exehangn of
views. by the allies.
:MONTENEGRIN'S SUCCESSES.
Cetinje, Oet. 11.-A deepatch receiv-
ed here from Podgoritza stated that
the. Montenegries have inyeeted Tuzi,
and thet ,i. town ie now .entirely cut
off from Scutari. The taking of Tuzi
followed the capture of Shiptehenik fort
on Thursday. The Turke retreated from
their position to Tuzi, but as the cap-
tured forts commanded Tnzi. the fall oi
the latter Nvasi not unexpected. The fall
of Tuzi inarl,s the .conelnsion of four
days' fielning by the division of the
Montenegrin. army whieh took the more
easterly couree towards Scutari. The
four days have seen an uninterrupted
advance by the Montenegrin-, although
they have met with deeperate resistance
all the way.
Aloykovatz is already in the hands
of the other Montenegrin army, and
Tarakasch i urrouaded. The. Turks
are oecupying a eries of blockhouses,
and the Montenegrinare taking these
one after another. Reports. that the
'Turks have abandoned Taraleaech and
aro retreating to Scutari have been re-
ceived here. Further reporte are that
the Montenagein army is pressing the
garrison at Scutari, and that the Turks
have taken refuge behind their inner-
most line nr. defenete. It ii not consid-
ered probable that the garrieon ant hold
out until refinforeemente arrive.
WOMEN FOR THE FRONT.
Constantinople, Oen 14. ---The Govern-
ment is requisitioning the horse e owned

bassies have entered a protest, and have
notified the Porte that compensation

men are going to the front to attend

ginning of a new era for the sex,

LOOK FOR GENERAL WAR.
London, Oct. 14.-A general war in
the Balkans cannot be delayed lintels
longer, in the opinion of authoritative
cireles here.
Great Britain is trying to maintain
an impartial and neutral position. The
Liberals have drifted far from the late
William E. Gladstone'o policy of sup-
porting the Macedonian ehreetiane
against the "unspeakable Turks" at all
costs. The Times and other newspapers
eeneure Chancellor of the Exchequer
David Lloyd -George for eho:wine par-
tisauship in his speech on Saturday, in
which he expressed the hope that the
result of the war would extend the area
of good government.
BALKAN STATE' DEMANDS.
Paris, Oct. 14.-A synopsis of the re-
ply of the Balkan Governments to the
representations of the powers is given
to -day in a senti-official note. After
thanking the powers for their interest
in the reforms demanded in European
Turkey, the reply declares that the re-
peated promises given 'by Turkey in
connection with the reforms have re-
mained a •dead letter. The situation of
the Christians in Macedonia has become
intolerable, it continues, and therefore
the Balkan States believe it to be. their
duty tt., ask the Ottoman Government
indirectly to tnake the solemn engage-
ments contained in the note attacbed by
the allies.
In this nate they ask Turkey to grant,
without delay, the following reforms,
and to promise to apply them within
six months, with the assistance of the
great powers and. the Balkan States:
"Tle division of the Provinces Of
Europ an Turkey into ethical circon-
seriptious.
"The nominatine of Bulgariaus or
Swiss Christian Governor'-.
"The equality of echools of whatever
faith. .
"The emselity of representation in the
Turkieb Parliament.
The admisison of .Christians into every
branoll of a,dminietration of the empinn.
"The formation of Christian military
divisions!'
These are reforms the Balkan States
demand tshould he put into execution
by a commission of Christians, and Mus-
sulmans. limier the auepicee of re/we-
t:eat:an-es of the powers. The enumer-
ation of the refarms is pre.eeded by a
'demand that Turkey demobilize her

ment to -day issued t proclamation in
which it states that the Turkish attack

• TO STOP RED TAPE
Trying to Simplify Customs
Entry at Windsor.
\\Incisor, Oet. 14. ---The rapidly grow -
lug importance of Windsor as a customs
port of entry will, it is expected, make
the appointment of a number of ad-
ditional Customs officers imperative at
an early date.
At; a couference held recently between Oliver J. Wilcox, L P., and
a deputation of members from the lo-
cal Board of Trade, -the present system
of making customs entriesWas thor-
oughly gone over with Collector Smith,
and it was decided that a more simple
method should be recommended to the
department at Ottawa, in order that
goods brought across the river from
Detroit shall not be subject to unusual
delays in passing enstomii.
At present it takes anywhere from
one to three hours for an importer to
go through the formalities called for
by the latest regulations, and it is
planned 6o to simplify this that duti,
able goods may be removed immediately

London, Oct. 14. -Thomas Coupe,

to -morrow on. hoard the Mauretania
in the company of Assistant District
Attorney William Deford.
Coupe returned to his home in
Preston to -day with the intention of
Yining Mr. Deford at Liverpool to-
morrow. He makes no secret of the
fact that he considers his return, to
New York a very dangerous under-
taking. According to his agreement
with the District Attorney, Coope re-
turns to New York with his expenses
paid and his life insured for $10,-
000. The State will bear the cost.
These were the terms he exacted be-
fore he would consent to go back

return passage to England will also
be furnished by the State.
London, Oct. 14. --The Government's
propoeale for applying cloikure on the

ing were called up in the House of Com-
mons to -night in accordance with the
notice given last Monday. The propos-
ale provide for 25 daye' discussion of
the bill during the committee stage, five
clays for the report stage, -and two days
for the thira reading or paesage.
Premier Asouith stated that the Gov-
ernment did not intend to withdraw any
of the provisions of the bill after it had
been presented, but were willing to ac-
cept any suggestions by which it would
be improved or made more workable. It
was imperative, however, that closure
shoplel be resorted to in order to defeat
the obvious intention of the opponente
of the bill to resort to mere wakeful
consumption of time.
Boner Law, leader of the Opposition,
moved an amendment to the Govern-
ment's proposnle, the uninutte effeet of
which would be the refusal of the House
to sanction closure.

The direct examination of Rose bv
.Assistant District Attorney Prank
Mos a gave the Staten; Atar witness an
opportunity to volunteer a narrative
grim and sordid, and horrid, and
which was scarcely ever lightened by a
touch of real humanity. It was 0 story
of grafters and of thieves; a tale of
treachery, robbery and murderers. The
principal characters of his story were
men outside the law.
A SELF-POSSESSED WITNESS.
Utterly self-poseessed, grave at all
tunes, as calm as if telling a story to
Mende in a gambling parlor, never ex-
cited or flurried or taken back; defer-
ential to .justice and counsel; wholly
without visible emotion --Rose talked for
upwards of 12 hours, never faltering.,
hardly pausing, The. scrutiny of 300
people did not affect him at all. The
steady stare of Becker, who was seated.
where he eould look the witness square
in the eye, never discomposed him. He
began his story with the first meeting
between Herman Rosenthal and. Becker,
and he carried: ie straight through to
his OWn surrender at police headquar-
ters. Tie put the full responsibility for
the .crime upon Becker, but he did not
attempt to hide hie own 'participation.

One of the main points of the story
was his interview in the Tombs with

Queeneton, Ont., Oct. 13. -Repre-
sentative military officers, citizen,
clergymen, statesmen and Indians
gathered here to -day irrespective of
creed or party for the common object
of commemorating the splendid vic-
tory of Major-General Sir Isaac Brock
one hundred years ago in the historic
Battle of Queenston Heights, which
immortelized his mune and saved (Ip -
per Canada from the invaders from
th.e South. Standing bareheaded at
the base of the magnificent column
erected to his memory on the summit
of the Heights, prominent Canadians
in terms as simple as they were elo-
quentrecounted the history of that
famous battle and of the general
whose indomitable courage is placed
before the school children of the Do-
minion as an example of noble and
self-sacrificing manhood. They told
of how in the face of almost certain.
LLOYD -GEORGE IS PESSIMISTIC.
London, Oct. 13, -The British Chan-
cellor of the Exchequer, David Lloyd
George, in an address to -night said:
'The prospect seems to be that in
a very short thee the eastern hori-
eon will be ablaze. We may express
two hopes ----that the area of confla-
gration will be limited, and that,
whatever may be the ISSUe of the con-
flict between the combatants, one re-
sult will ensue: that the boundaries
of freedom and good government will
be extended."

whieh in the opinion of many of
theen preeeut wee the feature of the
whole gathering. "My pleasure at
being preeeut on this oeeasion le not
altogether unalloyed," he said, after an
expre:sion of loyalty. "It was not the
duty of my people to take part in the
war, but they made a mistake that was
juetifiable, as strong inducements were
offered them to take ;sidle:. If it, bad
not been for the bravery of the Six
Nations the British flag would not be
flying here to -day. We have never had
a historian to record the brave deeds of
the Six Nations, a.nd history dove not do

"One of the inducements offered the
Six Nations wae self-government, but
after the passage of the Britieh 'North
America Act this promiee was entirely
forgotten. We to-dey are just as ready
to defend out country as were our fore-
father, If Canada is to do her
duty towards us she sbould paee an act
that would at least make lin equal to
the foreigners who ciente into the coun-
try. We are the aborigineces of this
country, end we should be represented
on the floor of the Houee of Commons,
or at least have equal privileges in the
matter of franchise with the foreiencro."
When Chief Smith concluded has ad -
dues he was cheered to the echo. War-
rior Fred Laft also addressed the gath-
ering, Rev. Canon Mannalr; representing
the U. E. Loyalists, read patriotic VercieS

The day was just such a one as that
upon which Brock died, and when the
guns of the St. Catharines Field Bat-
tery boomed forth over the battlefield,
the salute to ethe dead general, fill-
ing the air with smoke and the smell
of powder, but little imagination was
needed to recall the historic morning
of October 13, 1812.
The scene was one that will long be
remembered by those who were pres-
ent, Just to the right of the monu-
ment were the speakers and official
representatives of the various patrio-
tic societies on a small platform upon
which were chairs and a table. Be-
hind the speakers was a silken. ban-
ner bearing the Cross of St. George,
and on the montuuent itself were the
many beautiful wreaths and floral
tributes from various organizations.
In a semi -circle around the monument
were the spectators, of whom there
were some 1,500, while detachments of
the Royal Canadian Regiment, of
Stanley Barracks, the 48th Highland-
ers, the Queen's Own, the 10th Royal
Grenadiers, the Ridley College Cadets,
the Missisauga Horse and other units
formed the outer edge of the half -
circle. Over all the Union Jack float-
ed proudly in the breeze.

The gathering was in many re-
spectts a unique one. It consisted or
all classes of people, including school
children, hoary headed veterans,
whose fathers or graiedfathers had
participated in the struggle, and a
party of 67 Six Nations Indians from
Brantford, all wearing small flags or
other decorations. An effort was made
to discover some aeacendant of
Brock's, but it was found that there
was no blood relation living in CAA-
ada. A. Claude Macdonell, John
A. Macdonell, McLean Macdonnell,
and Dr. Dame, of Toronto, all great
grand -nephews of Lieut. -Col. John
niacdonnell, were present, however.
Mrs. Birdsall and Miss Mary Clarice,
of Niagara, both direct descendants
of Laura ,Secord, whose fame Is sec-
ond only to that of Brock, were also
present. The delegations from To-
ronto and Hamilton numbered up-
wards of 1,000. Dr; G. Sterling Ryer-
son, of Toronto, president of the
United Empire Loyalists' .Association,
occupied the chair.
A feature of the ceremony was the
presentation of a magnificent floral
tribute in the -form'of the Cross of St.
George from the Guernsey Society,
Guernsey Island, where General Brock
was born. A committee from the so-
ciety was present, and the flowers
were placed on the cenotaph which.
marks the spot where Brock fell, by
Mr. S. L. Burney, whose father was a
lieutenant under Brock,. and into
whose arms he fell when stricken with
the fatal bullet.
THE OPENING CEREMONY.
The ceremony opened with an address
by Dr. Ryereon, who referred to the.
oecaeion as one of national and in eoinfe
reepecte international importance. "It is
not 0 pean of victory we sing, but a
requiem," he. said. "We are not here to
glorify war, nor is our object to exult
''over our brave but defeated adversary.
Rather it is an occasion when Oanathans
elmulhl give praiee to God that He raised
un brave men who were willing and able
L o' fight for their King and country in
order that they might enjoy civil and
religious liberty under the British flag."
Ile paid tribute to the gallant French-
Canadians, whose deede of valor and en-
durance equalled the best, to the hardy
Highlanders of Glengarry who rallied to
the' flag under the Macdonells, and to
the valiant Indians who, under ehiefe
Tecumeeh and Brant, played a promineut
pest in the war, Brock was singled out,
ho said, became he was a emu of.loyalty,
energy, and administrative ability, and
becattee be poesessed the power to in-
epire in other e his own qualities of

The City of Toronto will get a re-
duction of $1.60 per horsepewer, bring-
ing the contract price charged by the
Provincial Commission down to 816.50
per horsepower, and within a little over
'a year's trial bringing Hon. Adam
Beek's early assertion that Toronto
should receive power for $14 a horsepow-
er per year within easy range of mater-
ialization.
Out of twenty-eix other municipali-
ties there are only ten that are not
Scheduled for a rate reduction, and
these may come in for. reduction la ter
in the year, if their consumption or
power increases sufficiently.
The largest reductions in power price
have been made in the cases of Water -

er consumption has inereased away be-
yond the first estimate.

In addition to being able to make
these liberal reductions in rates, the
Hydro -electric Power Commission will
have a surplus of $50,000 at the end
of the present, year, October 31, after
paying the cost of power, the cost of
:maintenance and the full interest to
the Government of $100,000 on the
loan for the year.

Ellis, chairman of the Toronto Hydro-
electric Commission. Mr. Ellie as.ked, in
VieW of the increnee in power taken by
the city above the original estimate of
10,000 horeepower, what would be the
probable cost of power next year. The
commission decided to fix the rate to
the city, beginning November 1, at $16.-
50. The former rate of $18.10 was based
on the contract quantity of 10,000
horsepower used till the first of the
fiscal year. Toronto is now taking
.13,000 horsepower, and the charge of
$16.50 is ample to meet all the city's
obligations.

Since the inauguration of the Pro-

has jumped from 10,000. horsepower
to 29,000, and. it is estimated that on
November 1 this will be 30,000

Lloyd -George denied emphatically that
they had profited by -the Government's
contract with Marconi.
Several newspapers had. demanded
an investigation, and had. strongly
hinted that corruption underlay the
remarkable rise in the price of :Mar-
coni Shares from 15s to ;e9 before the
public knew :of the agreement.
Several members of Parliament at-
tacked the Government for making a
contract without giving r.gther wireless
systems a chance to tender for it.
