accomplishment and the war is
again under way Tho terms under
which the Bulgans consented to a
settlement were evidently too severe
for acceptance by the Turkish gov
ernment. and the negotiations were
withdrawn. j
Today the Bulgarians attacked
the ester works of the ancient
city of Constantinople, but were
driven hack under the destructive
fire from the Turkish soldiers who
were assisted hy the gunboats In
the harbor, which mercilessly shell

The ambassadors of the foreign
rttmns and officers of the neutral

.Mifereoce today with a view of
forming an agreement for the land
tag of marines in sufficient number*
to guarantee protection to non-com
batants and to maintain order in the

The negotiations for an eight

XV FOR OIWfSNlON
Spokane, Nov. 18 ? In the discus
sion of the Alaska Question by the
American Mining Congress at the
forthcoming convention, which will
be held In this cltv the week of No
vember 2&-S9, considerable assis
tance will be rendered by Mr J. I..
McPherson. C. K., who has spent
nearly twenty years traveling In
every part of Alaska, and perhaps
knows that country better, geo
graphically, than any living man.
He waa engineer for the Alaska
Road Commission and laid out the
principal trails. He was chief en
gineer for :he late M. J. Heney, and
for him mide the original survey of
the route of the Copper River Rail
road, whotr right of way Is now
baaed upon that survey.
Mr. McPherson's work has been
accepted by the United States Coast
and Oeodetic Survey and personal
credit given for It, which is un
usual. Mr. McPherson is now em
ployed by rtoee Brothers, the finan
cial barkers of the White Pa** A
Yukon, and spent, last summer In
making a mineral reconnaissance of
the region tributary to that road.
His experience In Canada, espec
tally In the Yukon territory last
summer, enabled him to make In
teresting comparisons
Views of Alaska and the north
land will be presented by Mr Mc
pherson in connection with an ad
dress on the peninsula and Its re
sources His views and address are
regarded ta of value In Illuminating
the clalnts of the Alaskans, who ex
pect to come several hundred strong
in an effort to place themselves on
record on the coal lands question be
fore a national body.
The American Mining Congress
has felt that the actual resident
was the best qualified person to
frame such resolutions as will be
the basis of an Alaskan Campaign
to be carried on during the coming
session of Congress
Acting upon this belief, invita
tions have been extended to some
750 resldtnt* of that territory to
attend the Spokane Session and aid
in the development of a policy best
adapted to further the development
of Alaska.
Much interest has been aroused
through the invitation, ar.d, judging
from the number of acceptances al
ready received, a delegation of sev
eral hundred will attend the conven
in.
