SHOT Son of Dr.Bloomfield Tragedy.Victim of New York, Oct.3.\u2014The New Y'ork American has the following cable from London, dated October 3rd.\u201cThe London Daily Chronicle, in its last edition this morning, prints this despatch from Constantinople: \u201c \u201cAn alarming incident is reported to-night.Two Greek steamers in the Bosphorous have been fired upon by Turkish forts.\u201c \u2018The Greek Minister at once protested, and also lodged a complaint with the British Ambassador.Greece hasi called out all its reserves for the last fourteen years, and many Greeks have left Constantinople.\u201d WILL NOT REMOVE EMBARGO Constantinople, October 3.\u2014 The Porte has decided to reject the Greek demand for the removal of the embargo on Greek vessels.The Porte takes the ground that international law permits a sovereign state to requisition foreign vessels for its own requirements.It is willing, however, eventually to compensate the owners.ROUMANIA WILL ASSIST TURKEY London, October 3.\u2014That Rou-mania has promised to assist Turkey in the event of hostilities is asserted by the Constantinople correspondent of the Chronicle, who adds: \u201cThe Turco-Roumanian .agreement was concluded when Turkey learned that the Balkan States were arranging a military alliance.\u201d This information, if correst, is of great importance, as there has been much speculation as to whether R'ou-mania would act under the influence of Russia or Turkey.Roumania is able to put an army of 175,000 men in the field.SPECIAL WAR INSURANCE.Hamburg, October 3.\u2014The general clause covering, war risks in shipping-policies was cancelled yesterda v by the insurance companies».This step does not effect ships already at sea.Special war insurance is obtainable only at high rates as it is impossible to foresee the consequences of a war to Mediterranean and Black Sea shipping.TENSION GROWS EXTREME.Paris, October 3.\u2014The urgent necessity of finding a means to relax tension over the Balkan situation has awakened Europe to a display of nervous energy unequalled since tne last serious trouble in the same^ territory when Austria annexed and Herzegovina.RUSSIAN MOBOLIZATION.Vienna, October 3.\u2014 Count \\ on Wickenburg, the representative of the Austro-Hungarian foreign minister in the Austro-Hungarian delegation, made the reassuring statement last night that the Russian mobolization had no connection with Balkan affairs ; that the conferences which the Russian foreign minister and with the British foreign secretary and at Balmoral with the King and ministers had strengthened the determination of the powers to work for a peaceful solution of the Balkan problem, and that the Austrian Government was convinced that Russia sincerely desired peace.HOPE POR SETTLEMENT.London, October 3.\u2014At the conference at Vienna with the King of Greece yesterday, Emperor Francis Joseph, according to a dispatch to the Daily Telegraph, said : \u201c1 hope and believe that despite the difficult situation it will be possible to avoid war.Hope must not be abandoned, DID tra- Bosnia notwithstanding the military preparations.\u201d NO MACEDONIAN AUTONOMY.London, October 3.\u2014\u201cIf the Balkan states have in view any idea of autonomy for Macedonia they can he informed immediately that this is out of the question,\u201d was the reply of a representative of the Turkish embassy to an enquiry as to what Tursey was willing to do to appease those who are threatening her with war.GERMAN BANKS REFUSE CREDIT Berlin, October 3.\u2014 The German banks have refused to extend any credit to the Balkan states.Bulgaria, however, it is believed, foreseeing this, has been accumulating gold steadily for some tirae.WILL DEFEND COUNTRY.Constantinople, October 3.\u2014After the issuance of orders by the Turkish war ministry yesterday for the mobolization of the Turkish army, the committee of Union of Progress proclaimed its whole-hearted support of the Government in defence of the Empire.Thirty thousand Albanians, through their chiefs, informed the Government of their readiness to undertake any service in Ceience of the Fatherland.Similar patriotic devotion has been displayed by all classes.SERVE ULTIMATUM TO-DAY.London, October 3.\u2014No ultimatum has yet been delivered to Turkey from the four Balkan states, but according to the most reliable news such an ultimatum will be presented at Constantinople to-day.It will demand autonomy for Macedonia, Albania, Old Servia and Crete, within three days.In the event of failure to comply with this demand, the Balkan coalition will repeat it and at the same time address a collective note to the great powers, notifying them that after the expiration of another three days the Balkan states will enforce the demand by recourse to arms.Thus there will be a respite of a week before hostilities open.This respite will be ufer.ized by the powers to seek to arrange a compromise with Turkey acceptable to the four states, which, it is believed, would prefer a way out without bloodshed.The Austro-Hungarian foreign minister, Count Von Berchthold, had a conference of more than an hour with King George of Greece at Vienna yesterday.No further news has been received of the reported frontier conflicts, hut-tension continues extreme, especially owing to the seizure by the Turkish authorities of Greek vessels.SHOT FIRED BY COMPANION NOT KNOW PISTOL WAS LOADED.A most unfortunate shooting gedy occurred yesterday afternoon at the residence of Mr.Carl Wright, Quebec street, when

thirty hours, they rarely suffer directly by flooding ; also that when water stands for more than ten days there is little chance of potatoes keeping sound.Drowned potatoes do not decay from potato disease, but through the eyes being blinded for want of air, causing them to decay, the tubers assuming the appearance of a sleepy pear.Tf they do not go to a pulp in a few days there is good reason to assume that they v.\u2019ill remain sound for decomposition is very rapid.In very wet years e;: pecially on stiff land, which becomes waterlogged though not actually flooded, there is often a great lo is, though it, is more commonly attributed to the ordinary disease.Thi accounts for many instances in which early observation showed a large number of tubers, Iful at digging time few arc found,

Many of the London urchins on holidays have become a thorough pest to residents in many parts of the me tropolis.There was recorded in these .columns the remand of three boys of tender age on charges of housebreaking in the neighborhood of Hampstead, but without coming within the scope of the law many idle youngsters have cultivated schemes for making pocket-money for them selves, to the intense annoyance of pedestrians, women especially.To stroll through the byways of London makes it only too evident that the holiday season brings on the streets a horde of child beggars that is not only increasing in numbers but In' the sheer impudence of its demands for money.In many suburbs the police have received complaints, but such is the extreme youth of the of fenders that tne officers arc almost impotent Smokers have long suffer cd more or less patiently, the atten tions of small boys who spring most ; unexpectedly from odd quarters with j imperious demands for \u201ccigarette pictures,\u201d and like Mr.Birrcll, when he meditated on his Education Bill in Battersea Park, we have all been dri ven to desperation by incessant re quests for \u201cthe right time,\u201d, the sa-tiefying of which brings no word of thanks.But almost simultaneously with the beginning of August infant opportunity reaches the limit of audacity.Valuable pavement room is occupied by fanciful creations in oyster shells, stones and grass, surmounted perhaps by a Union Jack, or some other na tional flag.Not infrequently unthinking pedestrians turning a corner suddenly at night are only saved from disaster by the sight of a guttering candle end stuck in the neck of a ginger-beer bottle, which illumi-nates a castle-like erection.Uttwash ed ! urchins, with dirty palms out stretched, pester the passer-by with: \"Please, remember the grotto.Spare a copper -it\u2019s only one a year.\u201d Th-demand is heard all over London.Thus the'modern keepers of the grotto demand tribute that was of old | required from wayfarers who were un \u2022 able to make an offering in person ¦ at the shrine of Ht.James of Corn postelfa on his day, the fifth of Au gust.Women especially are reckoned j fair game by the hordes of young grotto-architects who are seeking ho ; liday pocket-money.They are follow ; ed along the street and badgered ho j skillfully and persistently that only i the disbursement of a copper or the ; throat to fetch a constable opens an j avenue of escape.One of our repre j sentatives was met in a suburb south j of the-Thames after the usual exhortation to remember the grotto, with , a plaint of child desertion, littered in j a rapid sing-song : \u201cFather\u2019s gone to! i sea ; mother\u2019s gone to fetch him, so j please remember ni1 \u201d Che) ea in particular .suffer , from i the nuisance, and many complaint ; about the importunate derrxndn of children\u2019have hern r'\u2014rivod at the lo cal police station.\"But what, can we do?\u201d said the officer in charge to our representative.\u201cNearly ail rhe child ren are under ten years of age.We I can only clear their grottos away, !

he then declared Mr.Ethier elected hy acclamation.The election court dismissed Fauteux\u2019s petition, contesting the declaration of the election, and he appeals on the ground that the several sheets had 32 signatures ; that the candidate was sufficiently identified; that the nomination and deposit had been duly accepted, and that the returning officer was then obliged to grant a poll and had no authority to reject the nomination paper on a subsequent date.By the petition and appeal a declaration is sought that there was no election and that the return by acclamation was void.TO-DAY\u2019S MARKET PRICES.Morning quotations New York Market and transactions Montreal Stock Exchange, reported bv k'.B, McCurdy & Co., Art Bldg.Sherbrooke.Members of Montreal Stock Exchange.\tOpg.\t11.30 A mal.Copper \t\t\t Ul\t911 Atchison \t\t\tllOi Balt.& Ohio\t\t\t109} C.P.R.:\t\t\t .278}\t2781 Ches.& Ohio @\t\t\t85 Erie \t\t\t 37}\t37 S Great Northern \t\t\t141\t141 Lehigh Valley \t\t\t173}\t174} 1,0u.Nash\t\t\t153}\t1681 N.Y.Central \t\t\t\t117} \t\t1242\t125 Reading \t\t\t1751 Rock Island \t\t\t 2BJ\t28 J Sou.Pac\t\t\t113Ï\t113} Sou.Ry\t\t\t 318\t31} St.Paul \t\t\t112} U.S.Steel\t\t\t 79}\t79} U.S.Steel, Pfd\t\t\t119}\t115} Utah Copper \t\t\t65} A nier.Tel.& Tel\t\t\t144}\t14-1} Cotton\u2014\t\t Oct\t\t \t\t.,.11.53\t11.67 DecJ.\t\t\t1 1\t11.91 Mar\t\t\t11.96\t11.06 OEJHE PRESS Question &t Issue In Case Against Montreal Paper.\u2014 GASPARD DESERRES SUES FOR $10,000 FOR DEFAMATION OF CHARACTER.Montreal, Oct.3.\u2014The rights and ! prerogatives of the press, in discussing and commenting upon matters of public interest, even though such comments may indirectly, and inadvertently affffect private individuals are involved in a case hearing in which occupied the attention of the Superior Court, Mr.Justice Demers sitting.The claim is that of Gaspard DeSerres, who seeks to recover $10,000 from La Patrie Publishing Company, on the grounds of illeged libellous and injurious editorial utterances given publicity by the defendant journal.The question under discussion in the articles, was the liquidation of La Banque de St.Hyacinthe, and the general tenor of the articles was a complaint against the lengthy delays in winding up the affairs of the insolvent institution.According to defendant's contentions, the articles constituted a general criticism of the methods employed in winding up the affairs of such institutions.Though Mr.DeSerres figured in the liquidation proceedings, there was no intent to single him out for particular criticism.His name had not been mentioned in the course of the editorials complained of.These latter, say defendants, contained nothing but what was true.The matters treated of in them were of public interest, and the comments made were fair comments upon subjects of public interest.The plaintiff, however, contends that as a man enjoying a good reputation in Montreal, Ht.Hyacinthe, and other parts of the Province, he was caused serious injury, in his good name, as a result of the articles published in Ijtv Patrie, December 23rd, December 29th,\t1911, and January 4th, 1912.MOVEMENT AGAINST PELLETIER VISIT OF NATIONALIST LEADERS TO CAPITAL CAUSE OF COMMENT.Ottawa, Oct.3.\u2014It is learned, on pretty good authority, that the presence in the capital of Mr.Armand I^ivergne and Senator Landry is in connection with the anti-Pelletier movement in Quebec diatrtet, although, incidentally, the navy question will be discussed with Premier Borden and his colleagues.\t, It has been announced in the Nationalist press that Senator Landry has placed in the hands of Premier Borden a memorial setting forth the reasons why the anti-Pelletier group object to the presence of the Postmaster-General in the Cabinet, Senator Landry and Mr.Ijivergne, it is said, are here to urge upon Premier Borden the desirability of an Immediate consideration of the representations made to him some days ago.Rumor is still busy with the name of the Hon.B\".D.Monk, Minister of Public Works, but the report that his resignation is now in the bands of Premier Borden is not credited.If Mr.Monk resigns it will not be until the latter part of November or December, when he will be appointed to succeed Judge Routhier, of the Quebec Admiralty Court, now absent on leave of absence, and who will not return to the bench.SOCCER A match will be played Saturday afternoon on the Parade Ground between the 53rd Regt.Football Club and No.6 Company.Kick-off at 3.15 p.m.The Regt.team will be picked from the following players: Hatch, Hornet, Watson, Newberry, Cotterall, Rawlings, Roberts, Mitchell, Hastings, Guy, Banks, Strickland, Harper.After the match the team will he chosen to go to Magog on Saturday;
