Mr.. llama said hc had been asked by
reporter II he was willing to meet Mr..
Witt, OF the Central Labor Union, and
he had replied that he was willing to do
so. The question was asked because
the Central Labor Union had prUpound-

affecting HIS relations with labor. Mr..
Hanna said he heard nothing more
about the matter and that Mr.. Witt
failed to come. That was all there was
to II.

Goss Into Effect In Eastern Railroad STA.
iIons-ITow II Works.
BALTIMORE, Nd, July 2G.-The re-
Gently adopted scheme Of the postotilcc
department for establishing stations in
eastern railroad depots where mails can
be delivered direct to the addrcssee by
special arrangement, hns been put into
operation between New York, Phtiadel-
phia, Baltimore and Washington The
plan, which will greatly facilitate mail
deliveries TO the big commercial estab-
lishmen,s In the east, md will doubt
less be extended throughout the coun-
try. began on Friday afternoon with the
departure OF the l2:46 train from Wash
ington and the four o'clock train from
New York.
The scheme Is managed by the rail-
way mail service, through the transfer
agents at the principal depots. who will
be on duty for thirty minutes after the
departure OF the trains to deliver mail
to the addrrssee. when, II not called for,
the mail will then be sent to the city
postoitice. For instance. In Baltimore,
MIR. II. W. Nicholson has charge OF the
transfer service on the Baltimore &
Ohio at Camden station. and Joseph
llyncs OF service on the Pennsylvania
son desiring to send letter by way OF
this special service 10 either Washing
ton. Philadelphia or New York. will be
obliged TO deliver the letter to the mail
transfer agent, already stamped, (thc
transfer agent cancels the stamp but
does not sell stnmps). IN time to go on
the trains designated ns carrying the
special pouches. When the letter ar
rlvcs ut the city OF Its destination, the
pouch will be opened by tho mail trans
fer agent at that point, where tho letter
can be obtained by the nddressee, rs
stated, any time within thirty minutes
after arrival, and II not called for, the
letter then goes to the city postottlcc for
delivery. Letters should be plainly ad-
dressed, 40 that the transfer clerk may
understand for whom they are intended
when applied for Tho delivery in this
way saves considerable time to both the
sender Of the letter and addrcsscc, as
the former can mail n lct,cr up TO the
very minute OF the departure of n train
anu can he delivered to the nddressnc, at
tho depot, Immediately on arrival OF the
trnin. and IN case of necessity, II tclo-
gram may ho sent notifying the nd
drcsSo that Il letter has been sent on

THE CRY FROM MACEDONIA.
The Invasion by Greek klnsnrEenis-OpIr
Ions OF Dtplomatists,

ATHENS, July GA fresh fight Is
reported to have occurred at KOsanl,
Macedonia, since the Greek insurgents
invaded Macedonia and made the at
tack on the Turkish troops at Kara
Teari near Moussa. which was reported
on Saturday.
The lnroads by Greek insurgents In
to Macedonia are undoubtedly stimu-
lated by the condition OF affairs in
Crete where the Christian insurgents
have as much sympathy from the
Greeks as have the Cuban insurgents
from the people OF the United States. 1t
does not seem probable that the pres
cnt MacedoSiaH disturbance Is connect
ed with the outbreaks OF last year,
which occurred along the Bulgarian
frontier and were thought to be melted
by the Macedonian central committee
has also been active this year. having
Issued a manifesto In June stating that
reform Un Maccdon!a) by peaceful
means Is no longer to be reckOncd on
and the committee will concentrate" all
their energies to obtain real political
autonomy"

inent diplomatisi, said to be we'll vers-
ed in the nffars OF eastern Europe and
long resident In tho Balkan peninsula,
were recently quutCd as saying:
"lt Ia hard " believe that combined
action for the furthcrance of certain
object could be undertaken by the In
habitants of that region which we call
Macedonia. Doubtless In various neigh
borhoods nsnrrectIonary movements OF
more or less magnitude would gain nd-
hcrcnce but such risInGs will always
remain OF mere local Importance for the
reason that II Is impossible TO imagine
n combined Macedonian insurrcctinn
Such movements must invariably take
place under Bulgarian, Srrvlun, Alban-
ian or Greek auspices. They will not be
SO much directed against Turkey. but
rather will take the form Of one ma
tionaIIty rising against another or Il
number OF Others"
1t remains to be seen whether the In
surrcctionnry movement under BuIgar-
ian auspices Will make common Gauge
with that under Greek auspices, which
the Greek minister OF war, In response
to representation by tho powers, has
promised to take measures to suppress.
