ASSOCIATIONS DOING NOTHING.
Practically They Amount to Only
nurcnus of InfOrmnIInn.

St Louis, March 27--The action OF a ma
jorty of the st. Louis roads in placing
themselves in line with the supreme court
decision has rendered both the Southwest
crn Traffic association and the Southern
Freight association practically imperative.
The Southwestern association is nos
practically without n membership. So far
official notices of Withdrawals have been
received from the Santa Fe, Rock Island,
Southern Pacific. Texas Pacific, Missouri
Pacific Iron Mountain and Frisco liucs
Though the Missouri, Kansas and Texas
and the Cotton Belt have not yet formally
Withdrawn they are transacting no hnsi-
ness with tho association. They are doing
nothing which might bring them IN conflict
with the law, and are only awaiting the
result OF u conference OF railway officials
and attorneys to be held in st. Louis Mon
day.
Although the Missouri Pacific and the
Iron Mountain roads are the only ones that
have so far Withdrawn from the Southern
Traffic association, thelr action has had
the effect Of Gripping the organization and
rendering IL imperative The Louisville
and Nashville. the Mobile and Ohio. the
Illinois Central and the st. Louis Transfer
company are. still nominally members OF
the association though they are transact
ing no business through II.
Eve arc practically doing nothing" said
Chairman Firing today. I'm fact. as mat
tiers now stand. the officers are only a bu-
rcau OF information"
There Is general feeling among railway
men that Mondays meeting Will largely de-
termine the legal status OF the local traffic
association.

Hussin,s Position.

New York. March 27.--.A dispatch to the
Herald from St. Petersburg says:
In the most important quarters here there
is much annoyance at the signs of the
yacillating policy shown BY the powers at
moment when the greatest firmness Is nee
ossary. The feeling here is that the pow
ers are trying to place Russia in the I'M
desirable position OF shedding Christian
blood.
The otgoloski publishes very strong ar
ticle ON the subject. and thinks England
is going TO establish herself in Crete, and
as Crete is not what the Dardanelles are
10 Russia. the latter would not go to war
about it.
Crete can only be psclied by the shedding
of blood hut orthodox Russia can not do
so. England has done SO before and can
do It now.
In dlplmatie circles the position is looked
upon as very embroiled. and the only solu-
ton will be that II the Greeks insist on

Park City. Sept 5.-The course Of
study adopted during the text book
convention at Salt Lake for the public
schools Of Utah has been made the
basis for graduation and promotion by
County Superintendent MeCoskle in the
