ton beyond the present 100000
there is q far larger population
OF Greeks. probably 1000, 900, under
the Enleof Turkey. Some of these
are in districts and islands where they
form the immense majority OF the
population, and where there is reas-
enable hope that annexation to the
parent country may be possible.
Others, and the larger part, are to
be found at Constantinople, Smyrna,
and the coasts of Turkey bordering on
the sea, where there can be little hope
for union so long as the Turkish en-
pire lasts. Even when this breaks up
il is hardly to be expected that Greek
rule will be substituted for Turkish
rule on the Bosporus or in Asia

are charged with being burglars. Stewart
was seen on the plaza, nicely dressed in a
suit of clothes which one Of the firm of
Moser and Bloch recognized as having
been stolen from their stock some weeks
ago. He called a policeman and had the
fellow arrested. AT the police station,
Stewart was stripped of all his clothes
and put in a cell to cool off.
Later on, Charles Tyson was brought
in, charged with being diSorderIy. He
was found in the house of A. o. Cox, No.

Cox awoke and asked him what he was
doing in his house, he Saucily answered.

The Western passenger association is
again on the verge Of disruption, says the
Kansas City Star One of its strongest
meIHucrS IS seriously considering the ques-
ton of withdrawal and ii the contemplated
step Is taken it will undoubtedly mean
the death of the association. Tae road
that is wavering in its allegiance to the as
sociaton is the Wabash.
The information that the Wabash win
probably desert comes direct, and it is pos
itiveiy known that the step is being consid-
cred by the management OF the road. For
some months the Wabash has been dissat-
iSied with the situation ii has found itself
placed in on account of the two rival associ-
atoms TO which 1t belongs. In the East the
road IS in Il delicate position and its sup
DOrt IS rapidly dwindhng away. owing to
various causes. among which is its stand on
the commission question. But the chief
cause Of the dissatisfaction is the manner
in which the Western association is being
conducted.
For M time past the Wabash has been
seriously affected with a SDasm of virtue
and has refrainei from violating the agree
ment. although here are Two cases against
the road pending before Chairman Finley
This unusual mood has brought with it
many difficulties 10 surmount in the chase
after business. The faithleSsness Of some
OF the roads in the association has cut into
perienced falling of in passenger receipts,
especially on its Western division. The
fruitleSs attempts to remedy matters
through ill-advised legislation and decisions
in the association has thoroughly disguised
the Wabash management, and while The
withdrawal may not be decided upon 1t IS
under serious consideration.
II the Wabash does withdraw, as is now
contemplated. it will indicate that the Mis-
souri, Pacific, which is also dissatisfied, is
willing for the association to 90 to pieces
as the policy of the Wabash is, in a great
measure, dictated by the Gould interests in
control of the Missouri Pacific. This fact
IS great draw back to the prosperity of the
Wabash. Even out OF the Western associa-
ton twill not be permitted to do much il
the West as it might interfere with thu
Missouri Pacific interests. It is wei
known fact that the Wabash, if freed from

Il will not do to call them mere children,
for the average American boy of ten years
knows more about taking care of himself
than Adolfo Rey did when he landed in
New York. His parents are well to do
people in Buenos Ayres, and he was reared
in sort of do-nothing way too common
there. He fell in love with Anatilde AIDE,
and when some Travelled friend told him
money was easily made in New York, he
was united to the girl by secret marriage
and took ship for the north. His father
forbade all intercourse with the clippers,
and his mother could get nothing to send
him, even by stealth. The brides parents
were poor. and both sides had opposed the
marriage.
Their little money was soon gone in New
York, the young husband could not speak
English, had no trade, was not accustomed
to manual labor and could get nothing t.
do. The Babes in the Wood" were not
more helpless than these grown up babes
in New York. At length the wife got a
sor. of position as Spanish dancer" in a
barn storming troop, and they STAYED of
starvation on her salary. The troop went
to wreck in Washington and only the char
ity of Il fellow countryman, Vida Nadol,
himself on 4 clerks salary, kept them alive.
In time the clerk found himself unable
to help them, and the young wife was soon
FRUSTRATED. The visitor of charitable so
ciety found her in bed, with no disease but
starvation. 1t appears that two more ut
terly helpless kids" never started life to-
gether. II it were not so pitiful, their il
norance of everything practical would be
amusing. They will be returned to BuenOs
AVres to be forgiven it is hOpe0-at any
rate TO be saved from sheer starvation.
