SOME RECALCITRANT ROADS,
Several VIII not Come Into the Western
Association and the Rate Agreement
is Shaky.

is Shaky.
Chicago, May 13.-The executive COM
mittee of the Western Passenger AssO-
citation is making desperate efforts toNget
all the lines possible as members of the
organization. The committee met again
to-day and held conference with repre-
sentatives of the Wisconsin Central,
Minneapolis and Omaha and the Great
Western, urging them to become men,
bers of the association. None of the
roads joined and they gave varying rea-
sons for their refusal. One road would
not join until the others had become
members and the others, which were rep
resented by their General Passenger
Agents, said they had not the power to
commit their roads to a membership.
The executive officers of the Western
roads are not any too confident that their
ION honor" agreement to maintain rates
in territory Of the Western Passenger As
ISOLATION is going to have the effect that
was intended. Already there has crept
into the the rate sheets some little de-
moralization in rates and no effort has
been made to stop it. Lumber rates in
the northwest have been in a shaky condi-
ton for several weeks and nothing has
been done to stiffen them and none of
the interested roads shows any DISPOSE
ton to take any action in the matter.
However, the ION honor" agreement will
be kept in effect for some time yet, as
the roads are not in a position to enter
into any other arrangement.

turkey DeyelOplnE SO Much Military
Vitality That the Sultan Will Probably
Receive Stronger Reminder to Cease
Hostihties.
London, May 13-The situation at the
scene of hostilities appears to be that
Turkey is determined to occupy Domokos
before conserving to an armistice and
that Greece is convinced of the impossi-
bility of holding out against the serious
attack which Edhem Pasha is preparing
to deliver.
1t has been decided to evacuate Do
mokos and to fall back upon the old from
tier This plan will probably be carried
out tomorrow, if it has not already been
accomplished, and thus the way will be
opened for peace negotiations.
The powers are in no mood to yield
over much to the demands Of Turkey.
The war has quite an unexpected effect in
revealing an amazing military vitality in
the Sultan's dominions; which is. in. no
way to the humor of Russia or the other
powers.
Hence the Sultan will be reminded that
it was his original government which led
to the war; that only the influence Of
Europe has prevented general blaze in
the Balkans, and that it is therefore adj
visable for him to accept reasonable
terms. The activity of Turkish military
preparations, which is in no way abated
by the diplomatic negotiations, may posi-
bly, be explained by the following state
ment of high Turkish official:
1.-The Russians are putting high price
upon the moral support they extended to
us during the Armenian trouble; but the
demands now made upon us are so exor-
bitant that their acceptance would be
tantamount to resigning our title as a
free natiOn.'
