London, July 11. The end of a fortnight's desperate fighting in tho Balkans finds Bulgaria forced to appeal to the powers to arrange peace. The Bulgarian plan to drive a wedge between the Greek and Servian armies in the neighborhood of Guevgheli has failed. The Boumanian army is beginning an invasion of Bulgaria. Bulgaria Appeals to Powers.

This fact doubtless was the deciding factor in the Bulgarian appeal to the powers. How far Bulgaria's defeat is due to dissensions in hitrh militarv quarters, which resulted iu the resignation) of General Savoff and how far to ffie fact that the Bulgarian troons. which bore the brunt of the hard fighting in ithe last campaign were more exhausted than the Greek and Servian forces, will probably never be known.

CtiarterilakeriXonclude Work on Proposed Draft Instrument Will Be Ready for Signatures in a Few Days. Improbable That Ml the Commissioners Will Give Final Approval. The work of the charter commissioners is practically at an end. All of tho sections of the proposed charter have been finally approved. All that remains now is the signing of the charter by the commissioners.

A meeting for this purpose will be called Dust as Boon as the official stenographic copy las been prepared. It is considered improbable that all of the commissioners will attach their signatures to the charter" as now drafted. Some of the commissioners, disgusted with the general-trend of the charter, have remained away from the meetings and are known to be averse to signing the instrument. The charter will have more than a majority to sign it, however. Ready for Signing Soon.

It is likely that the instrument will be ready for signature by Monday or Tuesday. The drafting committee will meet at the office of A. W. Selover this afternoon to start the work of going over the official copy The official copy will be printed after it has been signed. It will be forwarded to the mayor.

The commissioners last night approved the remainder of the chapter on eminent domain, the chapter on local improvements and the miscellaneous chapter. Only slight changes were made in the chapters as they stood. The charter commission voted to extend their thanks to the Civic and Commerce association for the association's work in obtaining experts to criticize the charter. Chairman Selover was instructed to prepare such a resolution of thanks. Prowler Scared from House.

Prestation. Minneapolis Firm Is Bidder for the Total Issue at 4.98 Per Cent. Plan of Retailing Certificates to Small Buyers Thought Illegal. More than a dozen bidders entered proposals for all or part of the 000 4 per cent improvement bonds ot the city of Minneapolis offered for sale at the meeting of the Ways uuJ" means committee of tho council yes- Of the bidders, tne wens jjicney company, Minneapolis, which was among those that bid on the entire list of bonds put up, offered to take the whole, with additional in sew-ot Vinnrlo not included in this lot, in various amounts and with varying ma turity dates, at a total price umi moon nn average interest rate nayable by the city of 4.98 per cent. The offers of the other concerns mat, imi on whole list had not been figured for average interest rate when the committee adjourned to meet at 11 a.

m. today to decide on the awards. George V. B. Hill, chairman of the committee, was delighted with the number of bidders and the general character of the bids.

"It speaks mighty well for the credit of Minneapolis," he said after the meeting, ami is in Rtriitmcr contrast to ie situation in many other cities of the country, in the class or Minneapolis, where few if any tenders are being made for advertised bonds. Without mentioning the offers of the other bidders, as they have not been gone over carefully yet, I know that the Wells Dickey proposal, as a lump, is a better one than has been given to any other city in America in the last few months. Money rates are higher than usual, and I am inclined to feel that the fact that Minneapolis today can sell such a large amount of bonds at a rate netting less than 5 per cent is an excellent sign and a causefpr rejoicing." Bidding Competition Is Keen. Other Minneapolis bidders are the First National bank, with the First Trust Savings bank of Chicago and the Merchants' Loan Trust company of Chicago, bidding on the entire list; the Minnesota Loarf Trust company, with A. B.

Leach Co. of Chicago, bidding 'on $727,000 of the list; the German-American bank, bidding on $000,000 of the list; the Union Investment company, offering on the Minneapolis Trust tompany, on W. W. Eastman on of high school bonds; and 14 II. Welcome, on high shool bonds.

Other bidders are: Kountze Bros, and Blodgett Co. of New York, for the entire list; the Harris Trust Savings bank, Chicago, the entire list; E. 11. Eollins Sons and the Continental Commercial Trust Savings bank of Chicago, the entire list; N. Coler Co.

of Xew York, for and William B. Compton Co. of St. Louis, for main sewer bonds. All these offers specified various amounts and term lengths for different classes of bonds which the city offers.

Retail Flan Is Explained. W. B. Culver of St. Paul appeared before the committee to explain the method being tried in St.

Paul of having the citizens themselves finance public improvements by buying de mand "certificates of ownership," issued in $50 and $100 lots against city bonds bought by the sinking fund committee there and held in trust for the holders of the certificates. He argued that the plan had worked well in the capital city, that it gave smalf investors opportunity to obtain good interest on excellent security and enabled the city to dispose of bonds on better terms than it could get from the regular bond buying sources. Mr. Culver pictured a method by which, he said, Minneapolis might sell her 4 per cent bonds to her own citizens at par. Taking a lump of bonds for high school purposes, be explained that the board of sinking fund commissioners could buy these from the city, not directly, because the supreme court had held such practice unlawful, but through a third party that would act as a dummy in the game and then sell them directly to the public by means of "certificates of ownership." Theee would be issued in small amounts and payable on testifying that it represented a part ownership in bonds of the city of Minneapolis, no particular bonds to be specified.

Under this plan, the bonds, sold to the public through the certificates, were to be held "in trust" by the sinking fund commissioners, the "members acting as individuals and not in their official capacity. Doub'ts Legality of Plan. City Attorney Fish was asked for his opinion of the legality of the plan. He advised that tho sinking fund coin-mission here, in the first place, could not purchase bonds of the city of Minneapolis, except "by a trick," and that there would be nothing legal in the so-called "certificates of ownership" that would be sold while the bonds they represented would be held "in trust." He said that tfie scheme might work out all right so long as no taxpayer protested, but that any one could appeal to the courts and have it held up. All in all, Mr.

Fish seemed to lack faith in the legal integrity of tho proposed plan. lie was assured that the city attorney of St. Paul had passed on tho legality of it in that city, and replied that charter provisions there might permit it, but that charter provisions in Minneapolis certainly tfid not. Members of the committee seemed interested in the St. Paul experiment and Mr.

Fish will go there today to consult with the city legal department regarding tho law of the situation. "I fear that we are wasting timo in not disposing of these bonds at once," said Chairman Hill last night. "We are in urgent need of money for certain improvements. The North High school situation demands immediate-at-rntion. Every day of delay now means a weok to thu pupils of that SjTTipathy With Condemnatory Address of Mr.

Reynolds Expressed. Delegates Await With Interest Speech of Mr. Hammond. (By Tribune Staff Correspondent.) Duluth, July 11. (Special.) There was framed in the executive council of the Minnesota State Bankers' association last night the skeleton of a eurroncy bill resolution which every state bank association in the country is watching for.

Unwilling to come out in positive opposition to tho currency now before congress, some ef them a trifle be-wildered by the ambiguous construe tion of some of the terms of the measure, and further "put at sea" by the telegrams from Washington the effect that changes now are being made in tho bill, the executive couneil instructed the resolutions committee to frame a resolution in language of extreme diplomacy. May Bead Between the Lines. But between the lines of the docn. ment, which the executive council ordered, there is to be written so that it will be plainly understood ythe initiated, that tho Minnesota Bankers association is opposed to-ihe currency bill in its present form and that it is entirely in sympathy with the condemnatory address delivered before the association yesterday morning by George M. Reynolds, president of the Continental Commercial National bank of Chicago and a prominent member of the currency commission of the American Bankers' association.

Hammond's Speech Today. This resolution will not be presented to the association convention until along towards noon today, certainly not until Congressman Hammond, the only Democrat Minnesota has in the national congress, has spoken to the association this morning. Mr. Hammond is looked upon as tho administration's spokesman to this association, and while the bankers have pretty well made up their minds that they do not like the measure before congress, they deem that it would be discourteous to Mr. Hammond to declare themselves before Mr.

Hammond has spoken. Executive Council Convenes. Directly after Mr. Hammond has spoken, the executive council and the resolutions committee will get together to ascertain whether he has in any way altered tho situation and to put the finishing touches on their resolution, 1 which must first be adopted by the resolutions committee and then pass through the executive council and then go to the convention floor. All this, however, is regarded as a mere matter of form.

The between-the-liues" resolution was not decided upon until after exhaustive discussion of the currency bill, Ouo point which was made extremely difficult was constituted by yellow-backed telegrams from Washington announcing that the currency measure it being changed in several respects. Keeping Quiet in the Main. The bankers, no matter how disposed toward the bill in the form in which they last saw it, did not wish to declare themselves as against it when the changes mentioned may have removed the very objections they have to it. The bankers of the executive boari and the resolutions committee, 26 in ull, also had iu mind that too severe a condemnation would create the impression that they are opposed to currency reform. On the contrary they recognize that a currency reform measure is coming and that it is their business not to attempt opposition to a currency reform bill, but to swing their forces to obtain one which will actually beget a betterment in the currency system.

Tliis led to the "between tho lines" resolution. The moat of the resolution which tho executive council ordered if tho resolutions committee is contained in an apparently innocent indorsement of tho "work of the currency commission of the American Hankers' association." It is for him who runs to read and" to understand the words of Mr. Reynolds, of the currency commission, condemning in positive terms many features of the present currency bill, were still hot in the ears of the members of the executive council, when they directed, that the work of the commission, of which he i a member, be indorsed. It was admitted by prominent ban, ers, one of them a Twin City bank president, that such wus 'the iutent of this particular section of the resolution ordered. In that form, the resolution does not put the association on record be-vond recall.

It does not put it iw the light of making a vigorous criticism of the currency bill, but it does show that the words of Mr. Reynolds fell en sympathetic ears and yet it leaves a hole to crawl throutrli. if the situation should shift suddenly. It was decided alo that the executive committee should keep in close touch with currency legislation with a particular view of seeking such changes in the currency bill as will K.tnuflf i tli. mifttpir Itflnllura Touch on Country Banks.

Country bank members who are in the executivo council raised several oh- jections to the currency bill, one in liar-! ticular concerning the real estate loan clause. The council wished to do what it could for the country bauks in this connection, but it considered these few objections held particular by the cotin-1 try banks minor, as compared with tho currency bill itself, so iid not enter into ditailed coudemnatiou' of these sitinller clauses. The action of the executive council of the Miuuesota association is ur-chargod with potentialities. The Minnesota association is the first state association which has had opportunity to declare itself one way or another or to indicate its official sentiment in any way. Other Associations on Watch.

Other state associations are soon to meet and the eyes of these bankers were on the Minnesota association at Duluth last night and their ears eager Iv awaiting word of what was doua last night. Were it expected that Congressman Hammond could by words or exulana. tions alter the situation today tnis resolution never would have been directed last eht. The council met in secrei and it was the intention that no worii of its activity became public untii Mr, Quest May Reach Dynamiting Case and Great Strikes. Washington, July 11j All the "wars" that have boon fought between labor and capital, all the efforts that both have made to procure legislation, -which wouMpiofit them, and i.be tangled skein woven about their relation in the last 10 years, are to be investigated by congress.

The senate "lobby committee in executive sessicrrr-dast night, decided that the "wars" must be inquired into. Samuel Gompers, president of the American Federation of Labor, will appear before the committee on July 5, and a subpoena wag issued last night for John Mitchell, vice president of the federation and former head of the United Mine workers. At, the same time the committee subpoenaed George Pope and J. Bird, general manager of the National Association of Manufacturers. Will Prolong Inquiry.

As the tale is unfolded, other men, prominent in labor organizations or associations of manufacturers, or individual employers of labor who are brought to notice, will be asked to appear. The committee decided to look into this subject, believing that it may develop startling information and knowing it will extend their inquiry many weeks. One senator last night that the quest might reach back into some of the linrk corners of the McNamara dynamiting case and might bring into the light the inside story of many of the great trikes that have paralyzed industries and thrown thousands out nt work in the Inst few years, lie intimated, too, that it might develop by far the most marvelous ot all the ftrruige tales that the committee has ieard in the past six weeks. MuUiall Testifies Today. The committee expects to finish with its investigation of wool and sugar activities today ami will take up the charges made by Martin M.

Mulhall, former "lobbyist" for the National Association of Manufacturers. Mulhall Will take the stand today. Thousands of letters, involving many men who were once prominent in congress, as well as some etill in public life, have been furnished, the committee, and his examination may take several days. The committee decided lat night to grant a yen nest from the association to .1 ri represtMii" iy counsel, ueciueu bIho not to fu.n over the Mulhall papers to the epeeial investigating commit'fe I'ntil it has finished with them, filth -ujii chairman Garrett askst for them ye tcrdav. Chairman Overman heard a report last nifli 1 1 1 Mulhall had been told to git out of Washington.

Mulhall did not know who made the threat. Mr. Overman said steps would be taken to protect Mulhalf; if necessary by delegating a deputy scrgeant-at-arms to guard him. The senate committee spent practically ull of yesterday on wool. William Whitman, former president of the Na tional Association of Wool Manufacture; Wirthrop L.

Marvin, its secretary, and Thomas O. Marvin, secretary of the Home Market club, fill of Boston, were the witnesses. Thomas Marvin testified that the Home club had a membership of between 800 and that it raised about $17,000 last year and that its object was to teach the doctrine of protection. It was not a political, but an economic organization, he said, and its "spear knows no brother." Marvin declared that one of the club's objects was the education of the youth of the country in the principles of protection. He" testified that the club had sent out in 25 vears more than 100,000,000 pamphlets 'containing protective arguments, but had never used "insidious" or illegitimate means to influence legislation.

He said he received $5,300 a yenr for his services and had spent much time in Washington during the pendency of the present tariff bill. Many members of the club, who are manufacturers, he added, submitted tariff arguments before the ways and means and finance commit: tees. Northern Pacific Bonds Sold About All $10,000,000 One Year Six Per Cent Notes Are Disposed of. New York, July 11. (Special.) Up to the close of business yesterday the syndicate which underwrote to the one-year 6 per cent notes of the Northern Pacific Railway company has disposed of nearly all of the issue.
