SITUATION LOCALLY.
There were no new developments
in the freight and passenger world
yesterday, so far as ST. Paul was cor
cerned, with the exception of the an
nouncement that the Chicago e, North
western had withdrawn from the
western Freight and the Western Pas
senger associations. The withdrawal
OF the Chicago & Northwestern will
probably mean the withdrawal of the
Omaha road, which is a part Of tine
Northwestern system. The other lines
reported that no action had been taken
during the day and that their legal
departments were awaiting a full text
of the decision. 1t was thought that
the decision of the federal supreme
court might not be as sweeping as
supposed at first glance This hope
however, seems to be without ground.
in view of a dispatch from Chairman
Morrison, Of the interstate commerce
commission, which said that the decf-
sion applied as we'll to the Joint Traf-
nc association and kindred organiza-
tions as it did to the Trans Missouri
association against which the decision
was rendered. The chairman asks this
pertinent question: ''If carriers NAV
combine and agree to keep up rates on
prices Of transportation, which make
part Of the cost and price Of goods
why enact antitrust laws to prevent
combinations and agreements to con-
troll production and keep up prices?'
1t is understood that the Milwaukee
road will make strong effort in con-
cert with other lines to secure a mod
ification of the decision. The st. Paul
lines have tacitly decided that, while
to outward appearances they would
deny the scope of the decision, they
would Immediately continue to issue
new tariffs on an independent basis.

ever, as if the rates were directed by

are filled with indignant protests. The
Cretan delegates in Athens have pub

ing against autonomy and declaring
that they prefer the Ottoman yoke, just
as they did after the failure of the in

"The Cretans will die, if necessary,
for the sake of the cause of union with
Greece
M. Skouzes, Greek minister of for
eign affairs, sent the following COM
mUnication to the powers on March 81:
'I have the honor to acknowledge your
note of the 18th inst, wherein you in
form me that Crete will be placed in a
state of blockade from today. A notice
of that fact has been given to the ship

Nevertheless, as, owing to the blockade,
it will be henceforth impossible to i'm

population of the island has always
obtained its provisions from the OUT

the ties which bind the Greek nation to

WESTERN ROADS WEAKEN.
No Loophole Left for Them in the Supreme Cour1
Traffic Agreement Decision.

CHICAGO, March 26.-This afternoon
at the Office of George r. Peck, gen
eral counsel of the Chicago, Milwaukee
& St. Paul. a meeting of the leading
roads in the Western Freight associa
tion was held for the purpose of dis
cussing the recent decision Of the su-
preme court and its probable effect on
the associations under which the West
ern roads have been working E. F.
Aver, the general counsel of the Illi-
noiS Central was chosen chairman of
the meeting.
The conference lasted the entire af-
ternoon and terminated in nothing, as
far as action is concerned No formal
decision was reached by the meeting
and no announcement was made The
meeting was more for an exchange of
views than for any other purpose. 1t
was agreed, however, with few dissent
ing voices, that the decision would have
the effect of doing away with the West
ern Freight association, as it is as pres
ent organized. The form of the agree
ment Of this association is such as to
bring it directly in conflict with the
supreme court decision, and the COM
ent was that it cannot continue.
The Western Passenger association
agreement was not taken up, but the
decision made regarding the freight as
sociation is sufficiently sweeping to in
clude the passenger association. Both
are organized on practical the same
lines, and if one Of them is in the line
of the decision, the other must neces-
sarily be so.
1t is likely that formal action will be
taken in a few days putting the West
ern Freight association out of existence
in an official sense. In a practical sense
it is dead already. There is no ques-
ton but that both the passenger and
freight associations will be in operation
within a short time, but in a form
different from that in which they have
beeen working up to the present time.
Opinions were divided, at the meeting
today, as to whether it was more de-
sirable to endeavor to bring about such
legislation as will allow the roads to
form associations similar to the West
ern Passenger and Freight associations,
or to continue the association work in
such a manner so as to avoid all con-
f1ict with the decision of the supreme
court. The majority of those present
favored the former plan, but it did not
get beyond mere discussion.
Two more roads withdrew from the
Western Freight association today, the
Rock Island and the Sioux City &
Northern being the members to pull
out. The rooms Of the association were
practically closed all day and no effort
was made to do anything beyond the
mefest routine.

MADISON, Wis, March 20-On the first
of April about $4,000 will be required for the
state charitable and penal institutions which

will require $4,000 more and there will be no
money in the general fund of the treasury
with which to meet these demands The
interest on the trust funds from which the
state has borrowed large sums win amount
to S14I271 within a week or ten DAYS. and
must be paid under the law by May l. There
IS not now sufficient money in the general
fund to pay the interest and no prosnect
that there will be by May II unless the nro-
vision for transfer before referred to is
passed. The state treasurer is paying the
salaries OF capitol employees from the general
fund, but will make no further inroads upon Il
than are actually necessary.

LONDON, March 27.-A dispatch to
the Daily News from Vienna says the
Austrian foreign Office has proposed
to extend the blockade along the en-
tire Greek coast, with special strin-
gency at the Piraeus and the CULTS of
Volo, Corinth and Arta. England, hav-
ing abandoned the condition that Tur-
key and Greece must be asked to with
draw their troops from the Thessalian
frontier before the blockade is ex-
tended to the gulf of Volo, will be con-
tent, it is assumed by the Austrian
foreign office, if the admirals so ar
range the blockade as to spare the sus-
capabilities of certain powers.
A dispatch to the Daily News from
Rome says that the powers have di-
rected their ambassadors not to con-
suit Greece on the details of autonomy
for Crete. Instructions have been sent
to the admirals giving them full power
to extend the blockade to Greek ports,
if they deem it necessary.
