Independence of Bulgaria was proclaimed today with the czar of the Bulgarians as a ruler Czar of the Bulgarians Is recognized to mean more than czar of Bulgaria because It is a distinct Intimation that he regards his country as having sovereignty over all the peeople of that blood Jn the near East Within a day or two Austria Hun srary which has been worklna with Prince Ferdinand in this preconcerted plan will proclaim the new status of Uosnla and the Herzegovina The question which has been stirring me wnoie or Europe more deeply than any slmlar question within the memory of the present generation Is Does It mean war First a Congress of Europe From all the capitals tonight come reverts Indicating that it means first of all another European congress of the signers of the treaty of Berlin to consider the situation and probably to revise the treaty Turkey caught in a moment of weakness Is the victim of this situation While some International animosities have been stirred up probably no power is willing to make war Reports from the emancipated Turkish press to London Indicate that the Young Turks will swallow this bitter pill as best they can and if they do naturally the Bulgarians while willing and eager for war will have no cause on which to base the beginning of hostilities From the British point of view the whole affair has been a surprise and more than a surprise because for the first time in years the British government felt Itself with apparently an understanding of France and Russia and complete friendship with Italy to be In a position where It dominated European Foiiucs reserving out of this consideration the almost open enmity between Itself and Germany Turned All of a Sudden Probably never in the history of Europe have politics taken such amazingly kaleidoscopic revolutions as during the past week An entangling situation will come when the signatories of the Berlin treaty meet to consider what actionahall be faken regarding the Violations of the treaty Great Britain tonight served notice that it does not recognize the right of any of the parties to thls treaty to violate Us provisions without consulting the others but English diplomat know that the conference will resolve Itself Into ai scramble among the powers to get what la termed in European politics compensating advantages whJchCAustrl packed by Germany has

the duty of deciding upon a revision of the treaty of Berlin would seem to be put forward with a certain persistence In jjelltical circles However the disposition of Turkey in that respect must be first ascertained If Turkey is favorably Inclined to this it Is believed ithatr the powers can easily reach an agreement Qnthe principle or a conference the ltltlVefor which France Great Britalnkiia Russia will take But times are only hypotheses which for the present must be regarded with reserve Advised of the Coup The view is now held here that there has been a double move on the part of Bulgaria and Austria Hungary these two countries acting together and that Germany and Italy were advised of it in advance Russia also received an Intimation of the plan but Iswolsky asserts that he was not let fully Into the secret and In some respects was misled Nabum Pasha the Turkish ambassador it is understood has lodged with France as one of the signatories of the Berlin treaty a formal protest against the Bulgarian coup detat The diplomatic representatives of the powers generally believe that war would spell ruin to the new constitutional rule In Turkey ana that the sultan would use war as a pretext for withdrawing the constitution This will be a repetition of his course in 1876 when he withdrew this same constitution prior to the outbreak of the Russo Turklsh war Germanys Position Berlin Oct Information from an of ficial source Is that the German government Is Indignant at Bulgarias declara tion of Independence It especially regrets the declaration as nullifying the

suggested poatflg he Republican jsarty but I have the same right to think as I do when I say that Judge Taft and the Republican platform are the best assets laboring men can have todays In the Fifty third Congress the Demo cratic party had the House the Senate and Grover Cleveland was President William Bryan was a member of that Congress and in all his term he never Introduced a bill In the Interest of labor Every measure the American Federation of Labor desired was Introduced Inthat Congress Including the antl Injunction bill the eight hour bill and about ten or twelve other measures that would benefit labor They were all referred to committees and that was the last of them Working in Interest of Labor I want to vote liftheiinterestof bor and lam not advocating the election of Judge Taft as a Republican but I am advocating his election In the Interest of the people who are affiliated with me In the organized labor movement Judge Taft Is condemned for bis decision on injunctions and I am as a union man opposed to the issuing of an injunction without a hearing and In fact opposed to Injunctions in labor dispute I believe we wittget a law passed preventing such writs but I do not believe It will ever be passed a Democratic Congress I believe Judge Taft Jf elected President will be friendly to our cause Other speakers of the evening were Francis Scott Key
