.JjThe business world looks forward

the greatyi anxiety.
London.?Event* in the European
crisis developed yesterday with startling
rapidity. The German ultimatum
to Russia, demanding that Russia
cease the mobilization of her
army, expy-ed Saturday, and at 5:15
o'clock ttm German Emperor signed
a mobilisation order.
At 7:30 o'clock the German Ambassador
at St. Petersburg. Count
on Pourtales, delivered a declaration
of war in the name of hia government
to the Russian government
anad the entire staff of the embassy
lmmedlately left St. Petersburg.
Although after the war-like
speeches delivered by the German
emperor and the Imperial chAnceltyr
at Berlin on Friday, no other
result could be expected, hopes that
the dread event might be averted
had been raised by tHe intervention
of King George in St. Petersburg
and the fact that the German Retcbstaj:
was not to be convened until
Tuesday. Hence, the actual declare:
tlon of war had pot been expected
for another day or two.
Now the die la cast and Europe
Is to be plunged tntd a general war
whloh has beea the apprehension of
S6n?penn statesmen'for generations.
It now Is only a question of how eoon
a state of sctual war will exist between

r, While

tore diplomatic relation* will be
raptured or war-declared.
The German Bmperor and hie ad iaera
hare maintained to the last
that they made supreme efforts tor
peace and that the laet of the series
of appeals rrom Emperor William to
Emperor Nicholas waa a telecram
repudiating responsibility for ths
calamity threatening the world on
the ground that while Germany was
mediating with Austria-Hungary at
Russia's request, Russia by her general
mobilisation, was threatening
Herman's safety.
The first shots in the Ruseo-Oerman
war were exchanged between
patrols near Prostken, ISO gitles
southeast of Konlgsberg.
The only redeeming feature of the
darkest prospect with which Europe
has been faced for half a century is
that Italy has declared her neutrality.
How long that neutrality can
be maintained is an exceedingly debatable
question.
Great Britain's position already
has ben defined by Premier Asquith
In the British Parliament. He declared
she is under no formal obllga
Hon to go to the assistance of France
in the evept or an European war.
The Brttlah government has made
full preparations In both services
for an eventuality.
The present situation, therefore.
Is that Russia, France and 8ervla are
arrayed on one side against AustriaHungary
and Qermany on the other.
How long the warfare will be confined
to this plane, it is Impossible to
foretell, nor can it be foretold whether
Belgium and Holland will be able
to maintain their neutrality against
their powerful nelyhbDre.tfP %trethar
Great Britain will And herself compelled
to send an expeditionary force
; to attempt to preserve that neutrality.
! .
Another factor, which has not.been
given much consideration Is the attitude
of Turkey, which, If she has
sufficiently recovered from the effects
of her late war with Italy, may be
able to throw considerable weight
into the scale. It la generally understood
that Germany has an effective
understanding with Turkey which
may lead to interesting developments.

TOUGH RIDE
EMU TODAY
Thef monotony of things were die- .

this morning caused by a runaway
horse, a three wheel bnggy, one !
policeman thrown to the ground,
while another with his prisoner
were riding as best they coulfe and
endeavoring to stop the fleeing (
animal.
This morning Chief Roberts and
Policeman Hay had an occasion to go
on Second street to arrept a negro
answering to the name of Major
Smith, who was asleep on the street ,
some distance from his horse and ,
buggy. After some effort the officers
I succeeded In rousing the sleepy man
j and placed him In the buggy for the
purpose of carrying bin) to the City
Hall. The chief occupied <^e side
of the seat, holding the reins, while .
the prisoner occupied the centec and
Policeman Hay the outside. They )
had hardly started on their journey
when one of the rear wheels came
off and Policeman Hay went oat with ;
a rush towards the grounds. The
ipiehap caused the horse to talis
fright and he made a dash up the
street at railroad speed. Chief
Roberta beld on to the reins, however.
and the intoxicated negro for
some reason still clung to hie sent. ]
After a hsrd effort the runaway
hone was finally stoped near the
courthouse. No one wis hurt, but
Chief Roberts says K was the tough1

BITTING UP WITH A POLITICAL
COURSE.
Mr. Speaker, something Is radically
wrong with the gentleman from
Washington. He has becozx^e very
morose here of late, and he has gone
from bad to worse, down this, sorrowful
road of gloomy forebodings,
until I fear that he Is coming to be
very much like an old fellow down
in my State.
He was always complaining.
Things were always out of Joint, and |
he was always grumbling and grow-!
ling. One day a gentleman, who
UBed to know "Old Bill," as the
neighbors called him. asked, "Where
la Old Bill now?" The answer was,
"Why, he is over there, growling as
usual. He's done got now to where
he don't enjoy anything but nttlng
sour norse applies_anjL^tU#g up
with a oorpse." (Uughtw and appiause.)
Mr. Speaker, things aro all out of
Joint to the gentleman from Washington.
Ha hrs become a chronic
and ^ he keeps up thia
croaking, it le certalnt that tke.day
la not far distant when Old Bill will
be called on to alt up with bis poll- J
tlcal corpse in the Seattle district In
the State cf Washington . (Laughter.
)
"Mr. Speaker, I saw the gentleman
In this Houso when his party waa In
power In every branch of the government.
He had every opportunity
possible then to vote for remedial.,
measures, blrt, like his party, the
gentleman has persistently and Insistently
voted to Increase the power
of a favored few and against measures
in the Interest of the masses.
He has voted for measures that taxed
necessities and placed luxuries
on tbe free list. Like his party, he
has been the friend of privilege, the
exponent of class legislation, and the
faithful friend of the trusts, and now
he crtlclxes the fearless and faithful
democracy of this admintistration for
striking from the limbs of labor,
commerce and lndustrty the shackles
forged upon them by the Republican
party.?Congressman Thos. J. Heflln,
