St. Petersburg, Oct. 6.—Austria-' Hungary has lost no time in getting on a friendly looting with the new kingdom of Bulgaria, for already she has intimated her desire to initiate negotiations for a new commercial treaty. The draft of Russia’s circular note to the powers convoking an international congress to discuss revision of the Berlin treaty has been completed and approved by Emperor Nicholas. It is intended to communicate this note to the Berlin signatories through the Russian ambassadors on Oct. 8. The Turkish ambassador to Russia, Turkam Pasha, called at the' foreign office this evening and had a long conference with acting Minister) Tcharykoff regarding the congress. It Is understood that Turkey Is favorably inclined to this meeting. The Av.stroHungarian ambassador also was a visitor at the foreign office, but he declined to be quoted concerning the possibility of his government accept-1 Ing the Russian invitation. Prince ’ Ferdinand assumed sovereignty over northern and southern Bulgaria under the title of Czar. This title was borne by the Bulgarian monarchs previous to the conquest of Bulgaria by the Turks.

TRYING TO USE THE SCHOOLS The Brazen Act of State Superintendent Cotton. Fasett A. Cotton, who is finishing his second term as state superintendent of public instruction, and who has been all the time the consistent and persistent friend of the school book trust, has further shown his unfitness for the office he holds by trying to make the public schools an adjunct of the Republican party. The Democratic party stands for local option by townships and wards; the Republican party for local option by counties. The people were preparing to express themselves upon the question at the election. Hanly called his special ses slon of the legislature and asked it ta take the matter out of the people s hands and decide the question in favor of the Republicans. Then Cotton got Into the game. In his official capacity he sent a letter to all of the school superintendents and asked them to get the 17,000 public school teachers to get into politics on the Republican side. Here is Cotton's letter: “To County and City Superintendents: “Gentlemen —As you know, the Indiana state legislature has convened in extraordinary session to enact certain much-needed laws. The one most vital Important measure, and which overshadows everything else, is that concerning county local option. This question closely concerns public . schools and publie morals, and is, I ' therefore, much higher than mere par- j tlsanshlp. It is fitting that the superintendents and teachers in the public | schools throughout the state take some concerted action to show their interest In this proposed measure. I am asking all of the oounty and city superintendents of the state to circulate petitions among their teachers, addressed to Senator Mattingly and Representative Babcock of the legislature, urging the enactment of this bill. Your earnest and speedy co-operation in this matter may help to enact into law this very , Important measure. Please act at once; the petitions must be in early this week If they accomplish the desired result." This is the most brazen attempt that has ever been made, so far as Is now recalled, to use the public schools i for partisan purposes. Cotton is none I too good to do such a thtag on his own I initiative, but he may have acted in this instance under the instructions of Governor Hanly. A man who will take pay from the public school fund, as Hanly did, for making an address to | school children, would not hesitate to use the public schools for a partisan purpose. Is It not time that the people should get rid of men of this class and fill the public offices with men who have a decent conception of their duties? BRYAN IN CINCINNATI. Twelve years ago William Jenningc Bryan, as the Democratic candidate for president, drew 50,000 people to Music Hall, the record-breaking crowd I In the history of Cincinnati, Last I night the same man, with a seemingly ! more magnetic influence, attracted such a mighty multitude to see and hear him that the very lowest estimate was 75,000. It was such a mass of humanity that movement for two blocks was impossible. Never in its long and glorious career has Music Hall held so many people. They hung in the windows and on the balconies in perilous positions. Men and women vied with each other in taking chances to welcome the Commoner to the home of his Republican opponent. Accustomed as he is to seeing great crowds, Mr. Bryan himself was amazed and thought that he saw In the demonstration a mighty wave which would sweep this Republican city Into the Democratic column.—Cincinnati Enquirer news artide. i Mr. Bryan’s trip through Ohio yesterday was a continuous ovation. His entrance into Cincinnati last night was a veritable triumph. Not even in the exciting days of 1896 was the Nebraskan accorded such overwhelming evidence of popular interest In himself and his utterances. ! That there should have been manifea.ed such tremendous enthusiasm for him In the home town of Mr Taft has excited greatest wonder. There can be only this explanation. Either Mr. Bryan still exerts that magnetism , pres T Ce and Voice wh ‘<* alone I charm the multitude, or else he has teox°^ atly in h“ public by his more recent that the thousands would attest theT went. ta ,h,„ “ ■>• fflts. ,be story c an be told only In November.

Washington, Oct. 6—Treasnw Sheldon cf the Republican national committee, after luncheon with the . president, gave out the following statement today: The presiden asked me to come over and lunch or dine with him two or three weeks ago. but the duties of my position have made It impossible fcr me to com® until now, We e went completely over the general situation. On hie authority, as well as fro my own knowledge, I can say most positively that the relations beI tween him and Mr. Hitchcock are of the closest and most friendly character; that Mr. Hitchcock has his entire confidence and that the president heartily approves of he manner tn which Mr. Hitchcock is managing the campaign, and. I may add. the pres-i ident is entirely confident of the result. o DECIDES A MONROEVILLE CASE Judge Heaton Sets A|ide an Ordinance Affecting Poultry Business. Judge O. N. Heaton f the superior court, Fort Wayne, handed down 1 decision Tuesday in the injunction suit of John W. Edwards, a poultry deal er and others against the town ff Monroeville, finding for the plaintit The suit was brought to enjoin tie town from enforcing an ordinance which prohibits collecting fowls to be slaughtered fcr commercial purpose! o. - to maintain a building for that put l pose wthin 200 feet of the corporate limits of the town of Monroeville, h rendering his decision Judge Heats declared a part of the ordinance ii question void. He said: “The onft nance passed by the town of Monro* ville treats as a nuisance and prohih its the slaughter of fowls for commet cial purposes within the town limit* In the opinion cf the court the tr# tees of a town may by ordinance establish reasonable regulations or Unitations applicable alike to all zens of such town for collectng, h ling or slaughtering fowls within S near the corporate limits of such tow*. But it cannot be claimed by the pas ties that the purpose for which lo* are collected or slaughted constitute! the nuisance. That clause in the «• dinance which limits the probiNtioi 'to the collecting or slaughtering fowls for commercial purposes is ® lawful discrimination and restraint commerce. I will therefore hold t the ordinance is void ” . SERVICES AT MISSION HAL There will be our regular mid-wee services at the Mission Hall on Thu day evening.
