huntington funding bill was before the
House at the last session that it was gem
orally understood that the bNl, which
proposed to extend the debt of the Pacific
railroads for one hundred years, would
pass the House, and that Huntington and
his allies were making hard fight to Sc
cure majority for it in the Senate.
When they ascel tanned that they could
not pass their measure through the SEN
ate, and realized that an attempt to do so
would give the Peoples party Senators
an opportunity Go ventllate the gigantic
steal and corruption connected with these
Pacific railroads, and to demand that it
was the duty of the Government to take
charge of these defaulting roads and RON
hem in the interest of the Government,
then suddenly Huntington and his allies
changed their plan. The bill was de-
feated IL the House, to the surprise of
the general public. 1t was defeated be-
cause Congressman who were known to be
railroad attorneys and agents voted
against the bill instead of for it, as they
no doubt originally intended to do. 1t
was then given out that the President
would attempt to settle the matter be.
tween the Government and these roads.
Whereupon the Senate promptly passed a
resolution calling upon the President to
inform the Senate of the action he had
taken and contemplated. This intorma-
ton has just reached the Senate. 1t seems
to Indicate that there is a movement ON
foot to sell these roads fer less than what
they are worth, which will cheat the Gov
ernnent out of part of the debt due Dur
ing the con- ing week bill will be intro
duced in the Senate by one of the Populist
Senators, directing the President and
Attorney General to enforce the law
which provides for the Government to
take charge of the road upon default of
the payment of the principal and interest
due. This will bring the fight for Gov
eminent ownership of railroads before
the Senate, and the fight and result will
be watched with interest Ey every man
who prefers to see the Government own
the railroads rather than have the rail
roads to own the Government.

Turks are fighting like lions, the Turkish
artillery doing splendid execution under
the command of RIA Pasha.
The correspondent of the Associated
Press says: II regret to have to announce
the death of Hafiz Pasha at Milouna.
The battle is still undecided, but the
Turks. without calling up the reserves,

Athens, April 1919 d. MN the
fighting on the frontier, the Turks have
occupied Ana and Enilouana, but they
have not succeeded in taking Kata.
The engagement at Milouna Pass was
OF the fiercest character, and the losses
were heavy on both sides. The Turks
destroyed two pieces of Greek artillery.
The Greeks captured an entire battery
