AND SCUTM FUST PREY TURKISH STRONGHOLD IN NORTHERN ALBANIA A MON; TENEGRIN WAR PRIZfc. TURKISH TROOPS HURRYING _ TO THE BORDER ADRIANOPLE SEEMS DOOMED UFE HANGING BY A THREAD Entire Farrlly of^ Distinguished Pa­ tient Are Assembled at the Home Awaiting the Summons That Cannot Be Delayed Long. Utica, N. Y„ Oct. 30--Vice-Presi­ dent James Schoolcraft Sherman was at thp point of death Monday, waging a hopeless fight for life against Bright's disease and a greatly weak­ ened heart. He may survive another forty-eight hours but it is Improbable that his greatly weakened vitality can sustain him beyond that length of time. At the vice-president's bedside were Dr. F. H. Peck, his personal phy­ sician, and Dr. William Elmer of Syra­ cuse, while Dr. Theodore Janeway of New York city is brought into close touch with the consulting physicians by means of the long distance tele­ phone. • Not uiitil Monday night would Doc­ tor Peck admit Mr. Sherman's condi­ tion critical. Sunday night the physi­ cian stated that the vice-president was resting comfortably. Monday the fact was revealed that Mj. Sher- man suffered a relapse October 25 and that since that time his life has been hanging by a slender thread. The secretiveness of the physicians was undoubtedly inspired by a desire to hide the true situation regarding Mr. Sherman's illness in the closing hours of the campaign in which he is a candidate for re-election to the sec­ ond highest office in the land- When the fact was revealed from an authoritative source that the vice- president was undoubtedly on 1 Is death bed the community was shocked for none of the local newspapers printed anything which made plain the critical condition in which Mr. Sherman lies. In the Sherman home on upper Gen­ esee street the members of the vice- president's family are assembled, awaiting the summons which it is feared cannot be long deferred. Doctor Peck announced that his dis­ tinguished patient was resting more comfortably than he had in the pre­ ceding twenty-four hours but beyond this he made no statement. The vice- president suffers greatly from his af­ fection of the kidneys and his inabil­ ity to breath. Stimulants to ac­ celerate the heart action are frequent­ ly administered and remedies to allay the constant agonizing pain are also given at safe intervals. The vice- president is perfectly rational and bears his Intense sufferings with fortitude. Mr. Sherman's illness dates from last spring, when by direction of his Washington physician he left the na­ tional capital and returned to his tuuhe in this city in hope of restor­ ing his shattered health. With the exception of periodical gains which generally ended in relapses Mb fight has been a hopeless one from the start. At 11:30 o'clock Monday night it was stated at the Sherman home that the vice-president was resting com­ fortably. Doctors Peck and Eisner .issued the following statement on the vice-presi­ dent's condition: "In answer to the many inquiries from all quarters the following state­ ment is made: "After, consultation tonight in case of Vice-President Sherman the diagnosis of weak heart muscles, the result of overwork, with some kidney Involvement is confirmed."

London, Oct. 29.--With hundreds of its residents lyin£ dead in the street and thousands facing actual starva­ tion and with its length and breadth swept by fire, Scutari, the Turkish stronghold in northern Albania, was Sunday a Montenegrin war prize. The Montenegrin bombardment has continued without respite. The city has virtually fallen, but the indomit­ able bravery of the Turkish garrison is prolonging the fearful plight of those within the city's gates, which can only end in surrender or annihi­ lation. Hundreds of Turkish deserters have reached Antivaria, All were famished for want of food. The Montenegrins early in the siege cut ofT every source of food supply leading to the city and for four days the inhabitants and' defending soldiers have been subsist­ ing on famine rations. Sunday night several companies of Turkish troops looted the homes of all Christians within the city In search of food. Great bravery is credited to the crack Montenegrin brigade, command­ ed by Prince Mirko, and several com­ panies of infantry which advanced against a withering fire from Turkish guns, waist deep in mud. Reaching the outposts they encountered strong Turkish forces, but took these strat­ egic points after vicious bayonet fights. London, Oct. 29.--Adrianople burn­ ing, cut off from the main Turkish army at Demotika, near the point of starvation, was still withholding its formal surrender Sunday to the Bul­ garians and in so doing is daring complete destruction. The Bulgarians are bombarding the city from every point of the compass. Every outpost has been taken and Bulgarian troops are within the outer city. Only the inner circle of 24 forts remain intact. Practically all of the public buildings have been razed by fire. Off to the south of the besieged city the strongest of the Bulgarian divisions is marching on Demotika, where the helpless army of 150,000 men under Abdullah Pasha is en­ camped. Reports from Sofia and Belgrade In­ dicate that the Turks have 'been un­ able to improve their desperate plight in the west. The Servians are in complete control of the cities of TJskub and Kumanova. The Turks who evacuated Uskub and permitted the Servians to take the stronghold without resistance are reassembling forces on the adjacent heights await­ ing further Servian advances. For this army there is no hope of any fate except ultimate capture or anni­ hilation. Retreat is cut off to the south by the Greeks operating north­ ward from the town of Servia; to the west are the Montenegrins, who will push eastward as Boon as Scutari has fallen, War critics declare that the en­ veloping campaign of the Balkan allies has succeeded to an extent that has no parallel In the annals of mod­ ern warfare. Not a single Turkish victory of importance has been re­ corded. Belgrade, Oct. 28.--With the cap­ ture of Uskub the main strength of the Ottoman troops In the province of Macedonia was broken Sunday. The Servians, while pushing ahead for Adrianople, are arming the Macedon­ ians with war accoutrements taken from the Turks and leaving officers to drill them. The Turks were so hotly pursued after the battle of Kumanova that they did not stop at Uskub, but fled further south, killing women, children and old men.
