DOGS TO BE CARRIED AS BAGGAGE.
TIE PENNSYLVANIA RAILROAD SWEEPS AWAY
THE EXTRA CHARGES HERETO
FORE ENFORCED


FORE ENFORCED.
The Pennsylvania Railroad has issued new
order which went into effect yesterday, that In
future dogs are to be carried passengers bag
gage Hitherto the express companies having the
contracts with the various railroad companies
have claimed the right to carry dogs like all other
baggage but have also made n rule charging FOR
dogs at double the ordinary rates. The result has
been that fancers and breeders of large dogs have
TO a great extent ceased sending their dogs to dis
tant shows. as they found that any prize money
they received any profit they might make was
swallowed uo In express charges.
A. F. Vredcnberg. the secretary OF the American
Kennel Club is delighted at the action of the Penn
sylvania company. lie said yesterday: This de-
parture will probably be followed by similar ac-
tIon bv all the other great railroads, and stimu
s will be g zen the breeding of large dogs. now
that they can be sent to shows cheapy with some
chance OF finding purchasers and obtaining prizes.
The railroad company will benefit by this action,
because whe dog is sent TO show II Is al
most always a 'companied by considerable fol-
lowing OF people interested In the animaIs sue

London. June 1.-Eastern affairs appear to
have reached the drifting stage. The exact po-
siton as to the armistice negotiations is not yet
clear. Evidently it is the object of Turkey to
create delays and to discover any latent weak
ness in the European concert.
During the councils Of Ministers at the Yildiz
Kiosk the peace conditions have been discussed;
but all mention of Thessay is studiously avoid

nothing more to he said the subject. The
Powers will have to show a united and energetic
front befor. the Sultan will recede from this po-
siior.
