have decided to address identical notes
to the Turkish government, asking that

foreign oonsulates use their good offices
in behalf of the Greeks, who represent the
interests Of foreign capital and finally Will
recommend that in any case the Turkish
government should observe moderation in
carrying out the order for the expulsion OF
the Greeks The question is a very serious
one, as at Constantinople alone there are
10000 Greeks, and throughout Turkey
there are 100000.
Fears are expressed that disturbances

The Administration has two organs In

and they arrange their news accordingly.
Things which please the President are

are. suppressed. Pending a Presidential
Campaign the organs favor both sides until
the contest is over. They follow the
theory of the ITishnan who became very

The Pnoling Bill.

Up to the hour OF latest advices the
Commerce Committee had not reached the
point OF reporting the pooling bin, which
is understood TO havebeenin secret prepara-
ton for several weeks In fact, strong
movement, Initiated by Senators Chan Her
and Tilnman, has undoubtedly postponed
action for week at least On Thursday
sUIne questions whichhe andthe gentleman
from south Carolina consider pertinent,
and which there is no doubt certain of the
committee regard as iInpertinent. Among
ether Things he asked: "If the owners Of
tie combined railroads, organized as one
great trust, are to be allowed 10 obtain
from the public annually their cost opera
ton. being 81, i 90, 900, 900; and in addition
$3.50, ,Oo0, 900 interest and dividends, with
put encountering any competition what
ever, 1t Will be claimed that the owners Of
either property amountingto $50, 100000
coo should also be allowed to form trusts
and do business without competition
The Senator also suggested that las the
bill proposes to make IL lawful for ali
the railroads OF the country TO enter into
one Immense trust, with capital OF SILL
oO0. 100000, careful investigation should
be made into the workings Of the already
existing Joint Traffic Association
All OF this obstruction, no matter how
honestly intended, will go for naught. It
is to be feared that Senator Chandler
knows this as well as we do. Certainly
be is not oblivious to the fact that the
settlement of a great campaign debt is
involved in the passage Of the pooling bin
now being latched AS a good and emin-
emily practical Republican he must know
that upon no other grounds than the en-
actment OF such law could the rail
way interests have been induced to put
up their share OF the sixteen million dol
lar Nick inley fund. He ought to, and OF
course he does know that representatives
of that interest are bounding the party
"busiRess manager" for a settlement Of
their claims. Then how does he expect
TO make head against such pressure or
such combination?
TIE trouble with Senator Chandler is
that he is trying TO show aud 10 exert
sG.rething OF manly independence within

the agents OF the trusts and monopolies

cringing subserviency on the part of any
