At the National Live-stock Asso­ ciation convention in Chicago next month a proposition will be presented to petition Congress to appoint a com­ mission to Investigate the western land situation, and take whatever action is necessary to protect the cattle indus­ try. The encouragement of small stock farms and government aid in building storage reservoirs on the ranges will also be recommended. Stockmen claim that there has been an enormous decrease in the number of cattle in this country during the last five years, and that unless Con­ gress takes speedy action beef will soon be selling at fabulous prices. Washington, D. C., dispatch:' "Tbe plan by which France coerced Turkey aind the success of that plan are both a justification and a precedent for ac­ tion by the United States with respect both to Turkey and Bulgaria. "It has been demonstrated by French diplomacy that it is possible to deal with Turkey summarily without pre­ cipitating an International war." The foregoing are official views which have been conveyed by the State Department to the White House, and which will be the keynotes of impor­ tant diplomatic representations, both to Turkey and Bulgaria, growing out of the Miss Stone incident, which is ex­ tremely embarrassing and annoying to the President The settlement of the French claims will be followed prompt­ ly by a statement of policy by the President toward Turkey and Bulgaria, which will be in the form of an ul­ timatum and will bring both of these powers to terms, even If a repetition of the prompt and decisive naval dem­ onstrations of France is necessary. - 3myrna, in Asia Minor, is the port at which the State Department casts its eye, and no doubt it would be seized by an American squadron should cir­ cumstances demand \it to -enforce the President's demands. President Roosevelt Is exasperated. He will not let Turkey or Bulgaria ignore the de­ sire of this government that the Miss Stone incident cease to be an open question. The Chief Executive pro­ poses to show in the early part of his administration that American citizens must be respected and protected every- %here. President Roosevelt feels that the United States navy is strong enough to make its claims good any­ where in the world, either alone or in a combination that can always be se­ cured. Secretary Hay believes prompt and drastic measures are necessary to force Turkey and Bulgaria to action if Miss Stone is to be rescued. He believes that demonstration in Turk­ ish waters or the seizure of a custom house will force the Porte to grant better security to American citizens within his territory. Bulgaria Taken to Task. I'- Sofia, Bulgaria, Nov. 11.--The bot- ernment has raused the arrest of a man who was visiting United States Consul General Dickinson and searched him, presumably thinking he was an emissary of the brigands and expecting Ho seize a communication from or to Miss Ellen M. Stone, the American missionary. The man was subsequently released. This action of the authorities was, seemingly, a de­ liberate attempt to frighten delegates who might visit Mr. Dickinson and thus prevent negotiations from taking place in Bulgarian territory The atti­ tude of the authorities .hampers Mr. Dickinson, as the brigands refuse to treat in Turkey. Mr. Dickinson, in his reply to Miss Stone's letter, urged the brigands to still further reduce their demands and accept the amount sub­ scribe^, in view of the determination the government not to coatribfctf toward the ransom and the impossi­ bility of collecting further subscrip­ tions. Brigands Expected to Agree. It is believed the brigands will agree to this, as they are now beginning to feel hard pressed and want money\for; current expenses, such as briberyv of officials, peasants jknd others. The letter insists thalt1, the surrender of the prisoners must precede or be sim­ ultaneous with the payment, but leaves the question of the place open. A mes­ senger has brought a letter from Miss Stone, written in English. All the pre­ vious communications from Miss Stone have been in Bulgarian. The letter says she is still well and gives valu­ able information about her captors and other circumstances which Miss Stone was debarred from sending in Bulgarian. , E. S.

No petition setting forth the value of the property left by Mr. Stokes -was filed with the will. Mr. Stokes declares that his en­ tire estate is to be held in trust by his executor, who is to pay legacies of $2,000 to liis mother, Nancy Stokes; $2,000 to his brother, Horace, and $2,000 to his sister, Mary J. McNutt. The re­ siduary estate he directs shall be divid­ ed between his brother Horace and his sister, Mrs. McNutt, and in case neith­ er of them leaves children, the entire estate is to go to W. E. D. Stokes. Mr. Stokes says in the last clause of the will that he is unmarried and has no children.

Finally a body of rural police forcibly entered and found the body in his cistern. The evidence of physicians who made a post-mortem examination disclosed that the child had been assaulted and then choked to death. SEIZE THE PRISON ARMS.

Chicago dispatch: Rushing to her husband's rescue, Mrs. JUIIUB Yankee met death by fire.

Leavenworth, Kan., dispatchr Whlle Warden R. W. McClaughry was absent In the afternoon 400 convicts mutinied and seized arms at the new federal prison. A long and desperate battle with the thirty guards followed. As the result dne convict was shot dead, one was injured, four guards were wounded by the mutineers and twenty- six desperadoes escaped to the woods. The freed convicts are BOW fleeing to­ ward Easton, Kan., holding up farm­ ers, stripping them of their clothing and, displacing their own prison stripes with the stolen garments, are seeking to outstrip pursuers by further flight on horses captured from the farmers.

Burrows, guard, shot twice in neck by a convict, serious; Andrew Leonard, guard, leg broken in grand rush of convicts to escape at main entrance to stockade; Otter, convict, shot by guard, but managed to escape with th^ fugitives. Twenty-four members of the Fourth cavalry hastened to the scene of trou­ ble, but when they arrived the convicts had escaped and the soldiers could not participate in the chase without orders from their superior. Forty armed guards from the federal prison are in pursuit of the fugitives; The course that the fugitives have taken is indi­ cated by the localities in which they have committed depredations. Many of their robberies are being reported late at night. S. A. Davidson, a farm­ er ten miles southwest, was robbed of a horse and some clothing. Three of his employes were robbed of their coats and *hats. C. T. Ferguson, a mall carrier, was robbed of his horse and cart. No report of the pursuers having encountered any of the fugi­ tives had reached here at midnight. Two of the twenty-six convicts who escaped from the stockade of the fed­ eral prison at Fort Leavenworth were killed in a running fight with citizens of Nortonvllle^ Kan. Two others of the fugitives were shot and severely wounded during the encounter and a ftfth convict surrendered when sur­ rounded by the citizens' posse* Two other convicts were captured In a corn field near Jarbalo, two by the sherifT of Douglas county near, Lawrence, and two in Topeka.

Omaha dispatch: James Callahan, charged with the kidnaping of Eddie Cudahy and subsequently with per­ jury in connection with his defense, has been finally set free. The jury in the perjury case brought in a verdict of not guilty after being out thirty- three hours. The delay was due to de­ bate on the subject of Callahan's mus­ tache, which the prisoner swore had been shaved off before the date of the kidnaping, but which other witnesses distinctly remembered subsequent to that event. Callahan has been in jail nine months. There is now little to prevent Pat Crowe from returning to Omaha. The evidence on which Calla­ han has been tried would probably pre­ vail in the case of Crowe.
