ment of tha whole people of Japan.
The first scene of tha first act of tho
week's engagement of th American fleet
In Japan will doubtless be the most lm
presslvo, but every number on the long
program, carefully prepared and as care
fully rehearsed, will ba new evidence that
the welcome found In Japan has been un
excelled, unequalled, perhaps, by any of
tha hearty welcomes extended to It since
It left th Atlantic seaboard.
Sixteen Japanese' wsr vessels are even
now awaiting th battleship at their
buoys and throughout th visit each bat
tleship will have officer and men rep
resenting tha entertaining emperor ami peo

Austrian warships anchored today off
Sptnia In Delmatla. a crown land of Austria-Hungary.
They are not more than
ten miles from Antlvarl, the eole seaport
of Montenegro.
LONDON, Oct. 15. Great Britain, Russia
and France have reached an agreement on
a program to bo submitted to the other
powers ss a basis for discussion by th
proposed European conference to settle the
Balkan situation. The propossls to be laid
before the powers are eight In number.
The first Is to the effect that articles
I to xxl of th treaty of Berlin, which re
late to Bulgaria and eastern Rumella, shall
be replaced by stipulation recognising th
Independence of Bulgaria as at present
constituted and determining the financial
obligations of Bulgaria toward Turkey.
New clauses probably will settle also ths
question of tho Oriental railway.
The second and third proposals ar that
the powers shall taks note of the annexa
tion by Austria-Hungary of Bosnia and
Herxegovlna and the return of the Sanjak
of Novlpaaar to Turkey.
Crete Seeores Its Desire.
Th fourth article relates to Crete. It
replaces article xxlil of the treaty of Ber
lin by clauses recognizing the annexation
of Crete to Greece and determining the
financial obligations of Greece. .'In respect
ti Crete, toward Turkey. It Is understood
that the four powers under whose protec
tion Crete has been, Russia, Great Britain,
France and Italy, will settle the Cretan
question In concert with Turkey before
referring it to the conference. It Is pro
posed also that the second part of article
xxllt of tho Berlin treaty, while It provides
special regulations for the government of
other parts of European Turkey, . shall
cease to have foroe when the powers are
proposed to sweep away.
The fifth proposal Is to the effect that ar
rangements similar to the above shall apply
to the Armenian provinces of Turkey.
Sovereignty of Montenearro.
The sixth article deals with: Montenegro.
The Montenegran rights of sovereignty are
limited by article xxlx of the treaty of
Berlin. It is proposed that articles xxvt to
xxxllt Inclusive of the Berlin treaty ehall
be condensed to a single article abrogating
all the restrictions Imposed by tha treaty
under the original article xxlx, which It is
assured that a satisfactory setlement - has
been effected.
The seventh point In tha program Is the
statement that It la desirable to seek and
give compensation to Servla and Monte
negro by a rectification of the Bosnian and
Herxegovlnan frontiers adjoining Novl
pesor. ' TMi Is taken- to imply that a strip
will be aken from the territory annexed
by Austria-Hungary.
The eighth proposed amendment concerns
the river Danube, and declares It Is de
sirable to revise the regulations governing
Danube traffic so aa to give larger rights
to the states bordering on the river.
The eight artlclea of the program are
followed by a declaration that as the new
Ottoman constitution foreshadows a re-or-ganlsatlon
of the Judicial system and a
remodeling of Turkish legislation In con
formity with the principles of other Eu
ropean states, the powers are prepared to
consider. In concert with Turkey, so soon
as these reforms are realised, th best
means of doing away with capitulation. It
is declared also that this occasion could be
taken to consider the abolition of th post
office now maintained by foreign powers
In Turkey.
Bosphorua and Dardanelles.
The draft of this program makes no men
tion of the straits between the Black sea
and the Mediterranean, which, of course,
mean the Bosphorus as well as the Darda
nelles. But these straits have been a sub
ject of protracted discussion between Blr
Edward Gray, the British foreign secretary,
and M. Iswolsky, the Russian minister of
foreign affairs. M- Iswolsky does not ask
that this question be submitted to the con
ference; what he desires Is that Great
Britain and France help Russia to nego
tiate with Turkey for th 'opening of these
trait to Russia.
Every desire to arrive at an understand
ing, but safeguarding at the same time the
Interests of Turkey, has been shown. In
th first place, Russia wanted the right
to send warships through the straits In
times of peace that la to say when Turkey
was not at war under special conditions
and special restrictions. In reply, Great
Britain asked that the same right be ac
corded all nations. To this Russia de
murred, arguing that foreign warships
could only desire to enter th Black a
for belligerent purposes. Ultimately, an
agreement apparently was reached by
which the right of Ingres and egrsss
granted Russian ships shall b accorded
on th same conditions to th ships of any
other power not at war with Russia.
Liberty Men Called In.
LONDON. Oct. 15. All of th men of th
home fleet absent from their ships on
liberty have been suddenly recalled. Inso
much as th reason for this ha not t
been asserted, the order has caused con
siderable excitement.

CLOSE CALL FOR AERONAUTS
Occupants of Builey Rescued with
Difficulty in North Sea.
TWO BALLOONS YET UNREPORTED
Now Throe Full Days Since Planen
and Hergcsell, In the Endur
ance Test, Have Been
Heard From.
BERLIN, Oct. 16. Tho German balloon
Busley came down Tuesday morning at
6 o'clock In the North sea. The two men
on board were rescued by a passing
steamer.
This news was received In a telegram
from Edinburgh and caused the greatest
relief, for there was great anxiety regard
ing the fate of this airship. The Busley
la one of the twenty-three balloons that
started in the race for the International
trophy last Sunday from a suburb of Ber
lin, and now every one of the contestants
has been accounted for. There are still, how
ever, two balloons missing. These aro the
Plauen and the Hergesell, which started
on Monday In the endurance test.
The dispatch received by the Aero club
from Edinburgh says that tho Busley early
Tuesday morning got lntoy communication
with a coaling steamer bound for Edin
burgh at a point In the North sea to tho
northwest of Heligoland. Tha steamer sig
nalled that It would stand by. The aero- j
nauts then opened their safety valvo with
the Idea of bringing the balloon down.
It Is estimated that they traveled 435
miles before they cam down. Although no
award has been mad officially, the Brit
ish balloon, which came down on the coast
of Denmark, la regarded as the winner of
the international cup contest. The French
balloon. Condor, Is second, and the Bel
gian Belglca, third. As It Is not practical to
hold long flights In the British Isles, the
Banshe may give over first plac to some
other country.
Work of Rescue Difficult.
In th meantime the steamer had
launched a small boat to pick the two
men up. The balloon fell to the sea and
was driven by a strong wind away from
the steamer. The men In the boat pulled
their hardest and finally managed to get
a line fast to the car, which waa being
dragged amid clouds of spray over tho
tops of the waves. They hung on until
the two aeronauts had been rescued.
The transfer of th balloon to tha small
boat was attended with the greatest diffi
culty, as soon as inoy were sale on
board, th connecting Una waa cut and
th balloon, free of weight of the boat,
went careening away over th sea.
Th aeronaut were half naked and ut
terly exhausted. They were taken back to
th et earner, wher they received every at
tention and were given food and restora
tives. .
Th men rescued from th Busley ar
Dr. Nlemeyer and Hans Hledemann. They
landed at Edinburgh this morning and Im
mediately started for home by way of
London. Th point wher they were
picked up Is ten mile from Heligoland.
Two Balloons Mlaalaaj,
Willi the news of ths rescue of the two
beJloonlsts from the Busley waa heartily
welcome, the most serious apprehensions
ar entertained for the safety of the other
two airships. It ia now three full days
slnoe the Plauen and the Hergesell have
been heard from, exhaustive metereological
observations indicate that they were driven
ut evsr the North sea,
GOULD'S INCOME SHRINKS
Divorce Suit Brings Out Financial
Condition of Millionaire of
. . New York.
NEW YORK, Oct. 15. That Howard
Gould's Income was formerly $000,000 a year,
but since the business depression of last
year It has boen reduced to $400,000 and that
he has lost $300,000 this year, was stated by
his counsel In an argument before Justice
Blschoff today. These figures were given
In opposing an application by Mrs. Kather
lne Clemmons Gould, who is suing Mr. Gould
for divorce for an Increase In her alimony
from $25,000 a year to $120,000. To support
her application, Mrs. Gould asserted that
her husband's Income was $600,000 a year.
Delancey Nlcoll, counsel for Mr. Gould, re
plied that while this was once true, Mr.
Gould says it is not so now. Mr. Nlcoll
also asserted that Mrs. Gould's case for
many years had been one of unbridled ex
travagance and that last year she received
from her husband $224,000.
Counsel for Mr. Gould declared that In
1906 Mr. Gould told his wife he would sep
erate from her unless she abandoned her
habits, but that Mrs. Gould declined to do
so.
Clarence J. Shearn, counsel for Mrs.
Gould, said that Mr. Gould had tried "to
starve his wife out" of Castle Gould and
had filled the house with spies who
watched her every movement, compelling
her to move to a hotel.
Mr. Nlcoll retorted that In seven' yenrs
from 1S99 to 1906, Mr. Gould gave his wife
$766,600, and that Mrs. Gould had save.i
$200,000 Of It.
Decision on the Increase of alimony was
reserved.

I feel aa If Kentucky had largely placed
Itself In a position , where we have a
right to come to it and treat it aa If It
were a republican state. It haa a re
publican governor. It haa a republican

Bryan's Guarantee Schema.
For the second time since his work on.
the stump. btfKUi-Mc- Tftft. today.., made
reference to the government guarantee of .
bank deposits, which Mr. Bryan Is engaged
In urging In the West. On that 'subject at
I.exlnKton he paid his respects to bis op
ponent as follows:
"Mr. Bryan hus another proposition that
Is going to be the panacea, the guarantee
of bank deposits. By that proposition he
Is going to make every respeqtable, honest
banker become the security of anybody
that desires to go into the banking busi
ness with the Idea of getting a large line
of depositors with a vory small capital,
and the result of thitt I don't think It takes
a very clear headed busliss man to see.
Experlenco of Oklahoma.
"In Oklahoma, the place where they try
out these experiments, they ar now find
ing that banks are being organised with a
capital of 10,000 by persons that have
failed In the banking business before, by
men that, are under charges of embetzle
ment, but who are able to get deposits bv
saying to depositors: 'I am a good fellow
and want you to help mo. Put your money
In my bank, because this million dollars
up here of Mr. Bmlth's Is mv security
that you will got your deposit back.'
"Now, that is not a Jcke, that Is a real
genuine statement produced by that guar
antee of bank deposits proposition. I do
no( cite It as a real and vital Issue in the
campaign, because It can't be. but I do
cite it as an Instance of the ecjiioiutc views
of Mr. bryan, and I do cite 11 as another
case In which to prove that with his views
to put him Into power as the chief magis
trate you will take away the confidence
of the sensible men of tit community, who
control the Investments, and when you
do that you are going to brii g un to fcur
years more of financial depression."
The work of the day for Mr. Taft waa
begun early this morning at Huntington,
W. Va., where he wss taken from the train
to a rink and received by thousands. Then
came his advent Into Kentucky. At Ash
land the crowd waa big and the cheers of
the ripping variety, which brings the smile
of gratification to the campaigner.
At East Kentucky Junction, he told the
crowd that he believed Kentucky repub
licans were almost better than other re
publican because they had to fight for
their doctrine.
Ovation nt Olive Hill.
At Olive Hill, he was again met by an
enthusiastic crowd. "I thank yovi from
th bottom of my heart for your eordlal re-
ceptton. I thank you because I know it
Indicate that you are republtcana down
to the ground, and that you mean to fight
for the republican party and bring Ken
tucky Into the republican column on the
third of November. I wish I had a vole
as strong as my hand and as strong as th
muscles of my arm, because I would like
to have all hear me. I would like to shake
tho hand of each one of you, because I
know a thrill of ropubUcanlsm would run
from your backbone to mina and back
aguln. All I can say Is how. grateful I aoa
to you for coming here and giving us th
rou.aga to believe that republicanism Is
going to sweep south of th Ohio river
and to give the south the position It ought
to have in this government."
At Bait Lick, the candidate told his audi
ence that he had been looking through the
crowd and felt both pleasure and pride at
his reception from such men, and then
added:
"The republicanism of Kentucky la tried
and true. It took something to be a re
publican In the past and her I s In this
crowd some old men who pild themaelv
on having been republicans from th begin
ning. I see that o'.J gentleman carrying ths
flag. I'll bet he has carried It for thirty
years, and has come a good many miles to
testify to his republlcanUm, and I thank
him for coming. I bellev that th Indica
