William j. c. Kenyon, for many
years general freight and passenger
agent Of the Burlington, and lately
general freight agent of the same sys-
tenn, resigned from his position two or
three days ago, and the resignation
became effective yesterday. The news
leaked out in a very quiet manner.
and few of the employees of the gen.
eral freight department knew of the
resignation until they missed Mr.. Ken
yon from his desk yesterday. The
resignation was given to General Su-
perintendent Hastings without any ex-
PLANTATION, and consequently that Of
fetal does not volunteer any informa-
ton about Mr.. Kenyon'S plans. An
effort was made to find Mr.. Kenyon
last evening, but it was unsuccessful.
1t is understood that he desires to
take an extended leave of absence.
General Passenger Agent George p.
Lyman was at the vacant desk yes
terday, evidently getting accustomed
to future surroundings. 1t is under
stood that Mr.. Lyman will combine
the duties of general passenger and
general freight agent, at least for
some time to come. Mr.. Lyman was
for several years assistant to Mr.. Ken
yon in the freight department, and IS
thoroughly familiar with and quail
fed for the work
Mr.. Kenyon's pesignat ton comes as a
great surprise to his friends. The
freight department has been under Mr..
Kenyon's direction for seven years.
He has practically been in the service
of one or another of the branches CT
the Burlington system ever since 1876.
He has continually. risen in places of
trust and responsibility, and, in 1899
the duties of general freight agent
were added to the duties of general
passenger agent, which he then held.
Mr.. Kenyon is very well liked among
the railroad fraternity and in social
circles, and both will regret his leave
taking.

yesterday, however, that Mr.. Barr had

sition of vice president and general

NO LONGER A TRUST.
To BE Known In Future as Standard
OH COMPANY

NEW YORK, Feb. 15.-The Standard
Oil trust is in the process of liquidation.
Holders of it's certificates have sur
rendered, or will surrender, them ard
receive instead stock in the Standard
Oil company, of New York. This
change is due to the prejudice which
has been aroused in many minds
against trusts and to the crystalization
of that prejudice in the legislation of
many states.
The Standard Oil company has been
compelled, because of the character Of
it's organization, to operate in soma
states under the cover of a corporate
name acquired with the property and
franchises of competitor, When the
Standard Oil trust was formed 1t lost
nothing by the frankness of it's title.
Times have changed. The public knows
what trusts mean to 1t, and legisla-
lures have declared them to be illegal
conspiracies in restraint Of trade. The
Standard was a trust, an organization

POWERS WILL PERSIST.
Greece Will Not Be Permitted to
Precipitate War;

PARIS, Feb. 15.-It is semi-officiallv
announced here this afternoon that all
the powers will firmly persist in the
agreement to maintain peace, and the
attempts of Greece to disturb it cannot
therefore prevail. According to a dis.
patch received here from Athens the
Russian minister to Greece has openly
declared that Russia is opposed to any
scheme for. the annexation of Crete by
Greece, and it is further stated that
the Austrian charge d'affaires had an
interview recently with M. Skouzes. the
Grecian minister for foreign affairs,
when the former demanded explana-
tons for the course adopted by Greece
Finally, 1t is said that all the repre-
sentatives of the powers at Athens have
discussed complaints against the Hell
lenic government in regard to the
measures taken to interrupt telegraphic
communication between them and their
governments for over twenty-four
hours.

OCCUPATION A FARCE.
Greece Is to BE Permitted to Take
Possession of Crete.


Possession of Crete.
LONDON, Feb. 15.-From one Of the
ambassado in London, whose name
cannot be published, a representative
Of the Associated Press has obtained
the following information:
The king of Greece is determined at
all costs to effect the annexation Of
Crete, and to this end he has the COM
plete sympathy and every possible as
sistance upon the part Of the queen,
the Prince Of Wales, the royal family
of Denmark, and the car, consistent
with the necessity of the attitude Of
the powers in view Of the Turkish
situation.
An agreement of the powers, which
will be promulgated this afternoon or
tomorrow, provides for the occupation
Of Canea, Heraklion and Retimo only,
and they will prevent any landing of
troops or ammunition at those points.
r This proposal, suggested by the for
.eign consuls at Canea, has beeen tele-
graphed to Constantinople, and, after
1T is accepted by the ENJOYS, will be
wired to the governments Of the pow
ers concerned. This agreement is de-
layed in PRONUNCIATION, owing to. the
addition Of Italy and Germany
There is no question but that 1t was
drawn up largely with the view to its
pe1ng eVaded by Greece landing troops
at some other point than the three
places stated, and the commanders Of
the warships having no instructions
regarding any places but the three
mentioned, will do nothing, with the
result that the powers will be con-
fronted with fait accomplt, which will
then be Immediately accepted.
Instructions have already been wired
to the commanders Of the foreign war;
ships. ordering them to prevent land
1ngs at Canea, Heraklion and Retimo,
but to use force only after all other
means are exhausted.

ENGLAND IN ACCORD.
NO Isolated Action Contemplated In
Regard to Crete

Regard to Crete.
LONDON, Feb. 15.-In the house Of
lords today the Marquis of Salisbury
replying to the Earl of Kimberly. the
Liberal leader, said that the scheme
for reforms in Crete had been arranged
and was being carried into effect, when
the Hellenic government, apparently
forced by the public opinion of it's own
subjects, interviewed and sent troops
and ships into Cretan waters.
The powers, the marquis continued.
maintain their opinions as to the un-
wisdom of the acts which have occur
red, and her majesty's government. he
added, maintains the attitude it has
hitherto pursued in acting in concert
with the other powers The premier
also said that the British naval COM
manders had been instructed not to
take isolated action, but to act in con
cert with the commanders Of the fleets
of the foreign powers.
In conclusion the Marquis of Sails
bury said that it would be manifestly
improper to divulge the nature Of the
steps contemplated; but there was no
ground for thinking that the govern
nent has any intention Of departing
from the policy it has hitherto pursued

danger that the pool Of the roads be-
tween Chicago and st. Paul will go
to smash. The smaller roads are great
ly dissa tisfied over the manner in which
they continually fall behind in their
percentages and are threatening to
pull out of the agreement. They say
that the amount of comfortable bust
ness that is turned over to them is not
enough to enable them to even up in
their percentages and If they maintain
rates the uncomfortable business keeps
away from them altogether. The strong
lines, on the other hand, insist that the
smaller fellows were given too large
percentages at the start and that it
is necessary to revise the percentages
all around, and give the small lines
less than they have been supposed by
the agreement to receive up to the pres
emit time. The smaller lines resent this
and say that when they have received
the amount of business that is justly
coming to them. it will be ample time
to consider a revision Of the percent
ages. They have practically declared
that If they are not given what they
declare is their share of the business
under the agreement that they will pull
out of the pool and get their business
for themselves. 1t Is likely that meet
ing of the Chicago-St. Paul lines will
be held some time during the latter
part of the week. =.
