Rumour\t\u2019 Says 20,000 Turks Have Surrendered at\tDBF3i!B(l.Kirk-KHisseh.Belgrade, Servia, Oct,\t(Spe- cial;\u2014Four Servian armies are advancing slowly into Turkish territory but are meeting with stubborn resis-tence Irom Turüisli troops, according to official reports reaching here irom front.The first Servian army operating in the direction of fortress of Uskup has reached the vicinity of Kuman-ova, only ten miles away from that place.The Servian troops to-day captured outlying positions around town and general attack on town itself is expected to be made to-day.The Servian army approaching Prishtina, along River Ibar, had serious engagement yesterday with strong force of Turkish troops and Arnaut irregulars, who were estimated by Servian commander at 10,-000 men, with ten companies of Turkish reserves and four batteries of artillery.Fight took place in Her-estidol Pass in the vicinity of Servian town of Raspka and Yenipazar on Servian frontier.The Servians took offensive yesterday morning and captured the entrance to the pass after some very heavy fighting.The Turkish troops then retired and the Servians were able to pass through on to the plains of Kossovo.Losses of Servian troops were considerable while those on Turks are believed to have been heavy.London, October 22.\u2014The war news is still the story of comparatively uninteresting small engagements involved in manoeuvring for position, while the Turkish and Balkan forces are assembling and preparing for big events.When the allied states declared war it may be assumed that Turkey had by no means concentrated her troops.Moreover, Turkey was still hoping to detach Greece from the confederation.Her failure to do this undoubtedly necessitated some change in the strategic plans and she still needed time to transport her troops to the required positions; hence the falling back of the small Turkish garrisons from numerous frontier posts is of no great significance.The Servian army is steadily advancing and now has its headquarters at Vranya in the movement against Uskup.The Greeks have captured Dissikata, from which posi- tion the Turks retired on the town of Servia where a big battle is expected shortly.According to a Constantinople report an important battle is imminent at Adrianople.Meanwhile, the rival fleets are both active, the Greeks blockading the island of Lemnos and the Turkish bombarding Kavarne and Varna.The report of the sinking of a Bulgarian torpedo boat is discredited at Constantinople where it is stated that the Turkish warships in the Black Sea fired at torpedo boats, but the latter took refuge in port, the warships not venturing to follow for fear of mines.The Greek consul at Cardiff, acting under instructions from his Government, is laying claim to all the Greek tonnage entering that port.Every vessel so commandeered between the property of the Greek Government, and the captain an officer of the Greek Navy.Ship owners have requested the British Foreign Office to protest against this procedure.RUMOR SAYS 20,000 TURKS SURRENDER.Sofia, Oct, 22.\u2014There are renewed rumors here that Kirk-Kilisseh has fallen.London, Oct.22.\u2014Sofia correspondent of the Daily Telegraph reports that the Bulgarians have captured Kirk-Kilisseh, which lies to the east of Adrianople, where 20,000 Turks surrendered and communication with Constantinople was cut.It is added however, that there is no official confirmation of this.The fighting at Jlava, which was captured Sunday by the Montenegrins was very severe.According to a Oettinje despatch to the Standard the Albanian population fought desperately and retured only when the place was in flames.Nine hundred Albanians were killed, including rn^ny women and children, who were found dead with arms in their hands.BULGARIAN REVERSE.Constantinople, Oct.22.\u2014Official information concerning a Bulgarian reverse says that the Bulgarians concentrated at Hanlar in the Dospat region, were induced to advance into Ottoman territory by a feigned retreat of the Turks.A strong Turkish force then suddenly attacked the left wing of the Bulgarians, who suffered heavily.BECKER TRIAL NEAR AN END Expected That Defence Will Rest Case To=Nlght.ACCIDENT HAPPENED WHEN ON THE WAY FROM SMYRNA TO AIDIN Berlin, Oct.2:2.\u2014(Special)\u2014 Two hundred Turkish soldiers were killed and another 20b were seriously injured by the derailing of a military train on the railroad from Smrna to Aidin, arcording to a special despatch from Constantinople.The entire train fell over a steep embankment and every man of train crew was killed.the GREAT BRITAIN Balkan War May Bring About Better Fading MARKED AMELIORATION OF SENTIMENT TOWARD THE TEUTON IN ENGLAND.London, October 22.\u2014With the opening of the Balkan war have disappeared many of the tremors that preceded it.The general European outlook is now regarded almost optimistically.While the great political powers of Europe have been unable to j friction liable victors, there is an almost unanimous belief that the result of the contest will be much the same whichever party is successful.It Is, expected the great powers will not permit Turkey to deal any serious blow at the welfare of the allies, and, on the other hand, it is taken for granted that the great powers will prevent the allies from making any appreciable rectification of their frontiers after the admonition they received before the war.lo England there has been of late a marked amelioration of sentiment toward the Teuton.This is evidenced by the reception given to a letter published this week by Sir John Brunner, which is in effect an appeal to the Government to follow up the entente with France by a similar entente with Germany and take certain practical measures for removing the between the two countries, AREJRY LOYAL Duke of Connaught Addresses Toronto Cein&dtan Ciub THERE WAS NOTHING TO THE BOGEY OF DISSENSION BETWEEN EAST AND WEST.Toronto, October 22.\u2014The Duke of Connaught yesterday spent an hour in Toronto as the guest of the Can adian Club at a luncheon given at the King Edward Hotel.Referring to this tour of Canada, the Duke said he had covered about 10,000 miles, and had learned many things.I feel glad, he said, that no more loyal people than Canadians exist in the British Empire.Of course, Canada is a democratic country, and none the worse for that, but it is in her retaining the principles of the old-established monarchy across the seas that one of the greatest problems of modern times was solved.I felt as I travelled through the country that the people I met were imbued with the idea of the future prosperity of Canada.One thing came foremost in its influence on him out of all the tour.It was the importance of education.The bogey of dissension between East and West was dismissed in one terse sentence by the speaker.ME MORE AVIATORS DEAD Two Killdd in Garmauy and One in France.ACCUSED EX-POLICE LIEUTENANT WILL NOT GO ON STAND AS ANNOUNCED.New York, October 22.\u2014What Sam Schepps told his friends in Hot Springs, Ark., about the murder of Herman Rosenthal was read into the records yesterday at the trial of Police Lieutenant Charles Becker, who is charged with instigating the crime.\u201cI don\u2019t want you fellows to think we killed a man who was of any account,\" Schepps told Postmaster Johnson, of Hot Springs, according to Mr.Johnson\u2019s testimony before the commission sent to Hot Springs to examine him and other persons.\u201cThat fellow Rosenthal was a dirty cur.He should have been killed.I don\u2019t want you fellows to think of me as a common murderer.\" Mr.Johnson\u2019s tes tom on y was read by John W.Halt, Becker\u2019s lawyer.Thirteen witnesses, few of whom remained more than a few minutes on the stand, testified yesterday, and brought the case swiftly towards its close.Indications at adjournment last night were that the defense would rest without placing Becker on the stand, notwithstanding previous announcement by the accused policeman\u2019s lawyers that it had been decided to have him testify.| which has endangered the peace and progress of Europe for the last few I years.It is thought certain that Sir John\u2019s proposition will he endorsed by the National Liberal Fed- prevent hostilities, the great financial powers of the world have succeeded in removing most' of the fears with which the outbreak was associated.The prevailing view Is that the j eration, and Premier Asquith and his war will be localized, and while op- ' colleagues are not likely to ignore inion is fairly divided as to the pro- such a manifestation of opinion.222 HAVE PERISHED UP TO DATE \u2014100 LOST THIS YEAR.Bordeaux, Oct.22.\u2014A French aviator, Amedee Lacour, was killed Sunday

PHYSICIANS SAY HE SHOWED NO ILL EFFECTS OF LONG TRIP FROM CHICAGO.Pittsburg, October 22.\u2014Although ex-President Roosevelt was weary from his all-day ride from Chicago to Pittsburg he showed no other ill-effects on his arrival here last night and the physicians who are accompanying him were confident that he would reach Oyster Bay in almost as good condition es when he left Mercv Hospital.Mrs.Roosevelt and the physicians, while believing that the Colonel had sufficient strength for the trip, were nevertheless concerned as to the outcome when the time came for his departure, and during these few hours they watched the patient closely for any signs of a setback.As the day wore on and it became plain that he was resting easily on the big brass bed in his stateroom, the tension was relaxed and last night everyone on the Colonel\u2019s car was breathing more easily.AT NEW YORK.New York, Oct.22.\u2014The train arrived in New York at 8.08 a.m.and the Colonel\u2019s car

December 31.Starting out with $10 in his pocket he has earned $500 clear of expenses on the way.The question in which the citizens are interested, namely, Civic Management by Commission, was not far advanced at last night\u2019s Council meeting.A petition of 700 citizens had laid this matter before the Council.A majority of the Council had met in two informal conferences with the Citizens\u2019 Committee and had decided upon a course of action, and directed the Mayor to have ttie notice rc charter amendments given.Alderman McManamy, who absented himself from the conferences, took the floor last night and attacked what had been done and continued with one of his characteristic assaults on the Board of Trade with its two hundred and fifty business men of the city, which lie characterized as the great est menace Sherbrooke had to deal with to-day.He referred to Sherbrooke as a \u201cone-horse town,\u201d which some people seemed to think ought to go ahead as fast as Boston or New York.He did not omit h s usual review of the municipal ownership tight and though no question was before the Council, wrs allowed, without being called to order by the Mayor, to go on with his attack on a body of Sherbrooke citizens who were striving to improve civic conditions, and who in the question at issue repre sented actually over 700 business men of the city.The trouble began when the ques tion of amending the charter was brought up.The Mayor called on Mr E.W.Farwell, President of the Board of Trade, to address the Conn cil along the lines of the amendments asked for.Briefly Mr.Farwell refer red to tlie fact that the citizens asked that the charter be amended so as to allow the appointment of two Commissioners, by the Council, with extensive powers ; also that the rc call provision be included.The speaker also referred to an er ror in the notice given by the Coun cil that amendments would tie asked for.This notice contained the clause \"To give subsidies to the Board of Trade.\" This was not asked for by the Board of Trade.The Council was asked to get power to vote money for advertising purposes.The Board of Trade had sufficient money to carry on their interior work, but did not have the necessary money for outside publicity.Mayor Hebert followed and told of the two informal meetings held by the Council, at which were present a majority of the members of the Council and a committee of citizens.At the last meeting held it was unanimously decided that the Mayor was to see the City Attorney and have him prepare a notice to the effect, that amendments to the charter he asked for.It was understood that the general notice would he given and that the Council would then go over the proposed amendments and thresh the matter out.Aid.McManamy\u2014\u201cI would ask if the Council has decided to amend the Charter?\u201d Mayor\u2014\"This was decided at an in formal meeting.\" Aid.Thompson\u2014\"F don't think that is quite right, Mr.Mayor.\" Mayor' Hebert\u2014\"This Council asked the Finance Committee and myself, at the informal meeting, to make arrangements for giving the formal notice.This has been done, and whether right or wrong was done at the request of a majority of the Aider-men.The question was up, and had we put off giving the notice it would have cost us an extra $200.\" Aid.McManamy\u2014\u201cIt will cost you from $500 to $1,000 if you do amend it now.\" At this point Aid.McManamy began his oft repeated oration on the wonderful fight he had made for municipal ownership.He then turned his attention to the Board of Trade, and until Aid.White finally appealed to the chair, maintained a steady stream of attack,- In referring to the clause in the proposed amendments asking for the right to control buildings on certain streets, he said ' \u201cWe have no right to say what kind of buildings should be put up ; let the people decide that.You would think that this was a city like Boston or New York, instead of a one-horse town.\u201d When Aid.McManamy resumed his seat the aldermen hardly knew where they were at, and after a brief discussion Aid.Jenckes moved that the city exercise their powers and appoint two Commissioners.Aid.Thompson seconded the motion.Aid.Ledoux informed the Council that he was of the opinion that the notice could be legally given, and then the Council would decide on what changes were necessary.Mayor Hebert pointed out that Ex-Mayor Cate had expressed the opinion that the Charter, as at present constituted, did not give sufficient powers to the Commissioners.Aid.McManamy stated that he would like to see two good men appointed as Commissioners, one for inside work and the other for outside.Aid.Ledoux moved that the matter ing the premises of half a dozen , be left on the table, firms.The fire

and opponents of the idea said that the time a printer would save by finding a word already set up for him would be lost in hunting for the word.After a good deal of labor Johnson had reduced the 90,000 words in the English language to some 5,1100 by eliminating obsolete and unusual words.and by further disintegrating the words into syllables, roots, prefixes and terminations Walter was able to arrange all his type in four cases each six and a half feet by four and a half.He soon bought out Johnson\u2019s interest in the business and sought to influential men in his venture.Among others he secur- ed the approbation of Benjamin 1 Franklin, himself a practical printer, and a number of other prominent j men.Walter realized that if he could ! get the patronage of the King all would be well.THE TIMES FOUNDED.This attempted to do, hut he failed, and it appears that rival printers had something to do with the cold reception he obtained from George.It is also hinted that the fact that he numbered Franklin as one of his patrons had something to do with and in the face of combined opposi- ! his failure.At any rate he failed, tion from the leading printers of the day Walter sought to demonstrate the value of his method by applying it to the printing of a daily newspaper.Thus was founded the \u201cDaily Universal Register,\u201d underneath whose title were the words \u201cprinted logographically.\u201d The first issue was on January 1, 1785, but in three years the cumbrous title was abandoned, and the matchless monosyllabic name of the Times substituted.In a few years more reference to the method of printing was abandoned, and presently it was the newspaper rather than the system that held general attention.Some eighty years later the logogra-phic process was revived, but oddly enough it was opposed nowhere more stoutly than in the Times, unmindful of its own origin.The modern invention of the linotype method of printing had made logography obsolete, whatever its merits may once have been, and only students of printing are aware that such a method was at one time in use.307 Deaths Reported BIRTHDAY OF GERMAN EMPRESS Berlin, Oct.22.\u2014(Special)\u2014A flood of felicitous messages from all parts of the empire, together with many valuable presents from relatives and intimate friends, were received by the Empress Victoria Augusta to-day on the occasion of her 54th birthday anniversary.The principal feature of the birthday celebration was a dinner at the palace, followed by a gala concert in which Caruso and other famous singers took part.The health of the Empress, which some time ago was a cause of considerable anxiety, is now reported to be much improved.MRS.JOHN ARMSTRONG, DANVILLE.Danville, Oct.22.\u2014 (Special) \u2014 Mrs.John Armstrong passed away at the residence of her daughter-in-law, Mrs.N.A.Armstrong, Academy St., at 11.30 on Sunday night.She had been ill for some time but this was only considered as serious the past few days.She was 80 years of age.The funeral will take place at the Methodist Church on Thursday, Oct.24th, at 10.30 a.m.She leaves to mourn her loss five sons, Messrs.C.Armstrong, of Kamloops, B.C.;

Finance Committee to prepare a report re the Lomas Power.They recommended on their return, that the city purchase this power for the sum of $10,000 and other considerations, and that the deeds be signed at once.MR.FARWELL APPEALS TO THE MAYOR.Mr.E.W.Farwell asked the privilege of addressing the Council, and expressed his great surprise that the Mayor would allow an Alderman, on the floor of the Council Chamber, to abuse citizens who were present.Continuing, Mr.Farwell said : \u201cAid.McManamy has accused the Board of Trade of being a menace to the city, and I would ask you, Mr.Mayor, to have him withdraw his statement.\u201d Aid.McManamy\u2014\u201cNot a bit of it.I tell you that the Board of Trade fought the Drop 03 By-law.Take the result in the South Ward, where you engaged a lawyer to carry on your fight.\u201d Mr.Farwell\u2014\u201cThat statement is absolutely false.\u201d The Mayor and Aldermen them left their chairs, and one of the most disgusting meetings ever held was brought to a close.NOTES.A petition was read from the Council of Labelle asking that the Sherbrooke Council pass a resolution asking the Government to change the present system of making municipalities pay such a large proportion of cost of maintaining insane people in the asylums.The Mayor stated that at present Sherbrooke was paying $1,000 per year for this purpose.Judging from last night\u2019s meeting, the city should be thankful that their annual expenditure for the care of lunatics is not twice that amount.A letter was received from the G.T.R.giving the city permission to run their sewer pipes under the company\u2019s tracks.A letter from Mr.\"Pierre Paradis, Bowen Ave., asking that the city build a wall in front of his property, to protect it.The city had built a sidewalk which was too low, thus causing the damage complained of.\u2014 Referred to the Road Committee.A resolution was passed authorizing the C.P.R.to build a siding across the city\u2019s property on Belvidere St.The By-law providing for the sale of a strip of land to the E.and T.Fairbanks Company, for the sum of $7,-500, was read the second and third time and passed.Those who did not know what \u201cE.and T.\u201d before Fairbanks Company meant, were, greatly enlightened to hear Aid.McManamy call it the Eastern Townships Fairbanks Company.It was decided to send Engineer Tremblay to Quebec to-day, to examine some cement sewer pipes, and purchase them if he thought they were good.-$- WORLD\u2019S WHEAT PRODUCTION.GOOD ROAD WORK MR HAS HR.AT THE MLS IH OHTARIO PROVINCE HONK'S BESI ¥ Will Vote la Six States for PresI- This Season so Far 300 Miles Bave Will deal CHOICE OF PRESIDENT AND VICE PRESIDENT MAY- DEPEND UPON THE VOTES OF OF WOMEN.Washington, D.C., Oct.22.\u2014(Special)\u2014In the general election two weeks from to-day women will vote in six States, California, Washington, Idaho, Colorado, Wyoming and Utah, a fact which campaign managers of the various parties have taken into consideration.While the Progressive party was the only one of the three leading political organizations to give its official stamp of approval to the equal suffrage movement, the Republican and Democratic leaders have shown their appreciation of the importance of that movement by enlisting the services of women workers with an eye to the result in the six States in which women have been granted the full rights of the franchise.Those six States have a total repreéentation in the electoral college of 38 votes, divided as follows: California 13, Colorado 7, Idaho 4, Utah 4, Washington 7, Wyoming 3.According to the last census California has a total of 671,336 women eligible to vote.For the other five states the figures are as follows : Colorado 213,425, Utah 85,729, Washington 277,727, Idaho 69,818, Wyoming 28,840.That the choice of aPresident and Vice-President of the United States in the coming election may depend upon the votes of the women in the six States named is easily within the range of possibilities.To prove the truth of this statement it is hut necessary to cite the fact that six Presidents of the United State were elected by a smaller number of votes than those which woman suffrage States will control in the next electoral college.-f- DISCOVERED ANOTHER COMET.Beeo Constructed.be Laid Before Governor-General To-Day.GREATER PROGRESS WOULD EXPECTED

such penalties would be attached that a race would be out of the question.\u201d The Store that Sets the Pace ¥ OUR .MACHINE SHOP in connection with Garage, will handle your repair work.Songster\u2019s Garage 9 Albert Street HUNTER SHOT IN FREEPORT, ME.FIRST ACCIDENT OF SEASON REPORTED IN THAT STATE.Freeport, Me., Oct.22.\u2014The first accident of the hunting season in this : vicinity occurred here Sunday, when John Brett, fifteen years old, was probably fatally injured as he was about to start on a gunning trip.A \u2018 companion of John Brett was jam-: ming a cartridge into his rifle when it exploded, the bullet entering Bretts ' left breast, near the heart, and pene-j trating the body.He was removed to j the Maine General Hospital at Port-I land, in a critical condition.MANY BACK ON DUTY.Lethbridge, Alb., October 22.\u2014 The Lethbridge police force were in good shape again yesterday afternoon.Several of the strikers have reconsi- dered their position and are back on duty.Reinforcements arrived from j Calgary yesterday afternoon.Ser-| géants Brown and Cooghegan have I been discharged.Thanksgiving Day TABLE OF STATISTICS AS MADE UP FROM OFFICIAL REPORTS.Ottawa, Oct.22.\u2014(Special) \u2014 The following table gives the 1912 wheat production of all the countries which have so far made their official reports to the Institute including the information received in cablegram to-day.\t1912\t1911 \tThs.of\tThs.of \tBushels\tBushels Prussia \t\t92,722\t'\t95,741 Belgium \t\t15,278\t14,617 Bulgaria \t\t63,750\t72,GO\u2019S Denmark \t\t3,915\t4,469 Spain\t\t112,416\t148,497 France \t\t335,039\t322,662 England and Wales\t55,341\t59,956 Hungary \t\t186,290\t190,100 Italy \t\t165,714\t192,397 Luxemburg \t .\t654\t641 Roumania \t\t89,416\t95,657 Russian Empire .\t749,941\t500,503 Switzerland \t\t3,112\t3,524 Canada \t\t205,685\t215,851 United States\t\t720,000\t621,338 India \t\t\t366,930\t374,845 Japan \t\t24,453\t24,851 Egypt \t\t28,948\t38,046 Tunis \t\t4,226\t8,635 Norway \t\t291\t270 Netherlands \t\t4,608\t5,566 Algeria \t\t27,173\t36,596 Totals \t;\t\t3,035,757 According to to-day\u2019s cablegram the 1912 production of wheat in the countries which have so far reported to the Institute is 107.2 p.c.of that of the same countries in 1911;
