affecting competitive rates could be le-
gally maintained.
Now the railroad attorneys reason
that any agreement that does not re-
strict the action of any of the roads is
not unlawful, and that it does not be-
come unlawful until it does so restrict.
Under this advice the old agreement
of the Western Passenger association
can be allowed to stand with the -ex-
ception of the clause regarding the
maintenance of rates and that proVid-
ing for the division of traffic for the
purpose of maintaining rates.
The western roads are expecting
trouble over their emigrant rates. The
supreme court decision has knocked
out the emigrant clearing house as a
controller of rates, although the roads
have been advised that it can be kept
in effect as a solicitor of business. There
has always been much trouble over this
class of business and the roads of the
Western Passenger association have
had great trouble with the Southern
Pacific, which they declared was pay
ing commissions too high for the pro-
visions of the agreement. There IS
now very little hope that the western
roads will be able to induce the South
ern Pacific to lower its commission
rates, and the Union Pacific and one
or two of the other roads are becom-
ing FESTIVE under the situation. All
the roads are looking for demoraliza-
ton in the emigrant business within
the near future, and they see no means
of avoiding it.

with the question of the balance of
power in the Mediterranean.
The government favOrs, therefore,
a progressive change to the advantage
of certain peoples which tend to es-
cape from. the Turkish yoke by OBJ
tanning national autonomy. But this
principle must of necessity be recon-
ciled with the exigencies of peace and
with the European equilibrium. It does
not suit Italy that the eastern queS-
ton should assume the form of par
titiOn between the military powers and
the maritime powers. Admiral Cano-
Varo has Worthily represented the 10y
atty and the support given by Italy to
the concert. Italy has remained faith
full to the concert and has co-operated
in all efforts to promote the settlement
lated to render the position of Greece
easier. If only Greece had lent an
ear to the cOunselS of moderation, no
humiliation would have been involved
for her in deferring to the wishes of
Europe. If Greece had deferred, she
would have obtained her object, name
ly the liberation of the CretanS.
''Neveretheless, if war cannot be
avoided, If Greece means to embark in
a blind adventure, it will be seen that
the conduct of the powers is inspired
by spirit of prudence. The present
crisis will be SurmOunted and the de-
sired reforms secured without infring-
ing upon the status quo or the balance
of power In this way italian policy
will be attained. AS responsible min
lister 1 cannot subscribe to the eloquent
manifestations of sympathy with
Greece and the Cretans and their cause
in this chamber, because no govern
ment dare assume the responsibility of
isolated actioAon the eastern question.

ENDING A WAY OUT.
Western Passenger Association Con-
cludes Not to Quit Business En-
tirelY.

Chicago, April 10.-The legal advisers
of the western roads have advised the
committee now working on the new
agreement of the Western Passenger
association that there is nothing in the
decision to prevent the roads from
granting reduced rates whenever they
choose, and that the roads can make
or maintain any and all kinds of rates
as long as the rates do not interfere
with the convenience of any individual
road. They base their assertion upon
the supreme court decision, which stat
ed that the reaSonablenesS or unreasOn-
abIeness of the rates did not enter into
consideration at all. There could not
be any agreement which did not to a
certain extent interfere with the free
dom of action of all the roads partici-
pating. Just in proportion to the ex-
tent which it did so interfere with the
individual action it was a restriction
of trade, and therefore unlawful.
Therefore, no agreement of any kind

VIII Have a Special Water
Train at 100000 Cost.
The Albuquerque Shops En-
larged-The Treatment Plant.

Phoenix, Ariz., April 1O.-RaiIway
news OF the past week has been of the
rarest interest to the people Of Arizona
The general shaking up predicted
over the downfall of the Atlantic &
Pacific has already commenced and the
Santa Fe, secure in the prospect of the
purchase of the Atlantic &, Pacific at
trustees sale next month, has already
indicated a number of reforms.
The Sonora road is in bad condition
and will need extensive repairs. The
rolling stock is also worn out and will
need replacing. The change is ex-
pected to work for the material ad-
Vancement of Nogales, where the line
crosses the border. On the American
Mexico & Arizona railway: south of
the line its official title has been Ell Fer
rocarrI de Sonora, or in plain English
the Sonora railway.
This transfer is expected to block the
extension from Phoenix to NogaleS,
through Tucson, of the Santa F'e, Pres
colt & Phoenix road. A year ago the
Santa F'e expected to make this line
its outlet from Sonora. Upon its COM
pletion to the line the New Mexico &
Arizona was to be torn up from Benson
to Nogales. But the trade lately eff
fected has changed all these plans.
Along the line of the Atlantic & Pa
cthc the Station most to be affected is
expected to be Ash Ford, the junction
point with the Phoenix road. To this
point, it is expected, will be removed
the division headquarters and shops
now at Williams, 80 miles to the east,
up the heaviest grade on the line. The
point has been a favored one with the
Atlantic & Pacific, but it has no water.
To supply it and Seligman, a station 80
miles to the west, has necessitated the
employment of a special water train
and the expenditure of about $50, 900
per annum. Work has already been
commenced, however, on storage dam
in Johnson canon, near by, at a point
where there is an abundance of water
ready to be piped to Ash Ford. The
company has no permanent buildings
at Williams, the change having long
been in anticipation.
The Albuquerque shops are to be en-
larged, a two-story stone depot erected
at Winslow, Ariz., ITS miles of heavy
steel rails will be laid from Flagstaff
east during the year, a tie-treatment
plant put in at Flagstaff, and several
hundred miles of track reballasted with
volcanic cinders. Nearly S1.oOO,OOO will
be used in this scheme of Improvement.
This viii allow far greater speed over
the Arizona division.
The announcement is made seni-of-
ficially that the road west of Ash Ford
is to be operated from Los Angeles.

ITALY's POSITION.

Rome, April 10.-The chamber of dep
uties was crowded today at the resu1np-

pellation of Signor Imbriani. the social
ist leader in the chamber. The MARQUIS
Visconti VenOsta, foreign minister re-
piled for the government, which had
been charged by Senior Imbriani with
following the ''odious policy of leading
free Italy to commit inconceivable acts
of violence against Greece and to tram
pie upon the laws of nations
After reviewing from it's inception
the whole story of the Cretan crisis,
the foreign minister said:
From the outset, among the various
proposals having the common idea of
pacifcation in Crete, Italy has always
supported the application Of effectual
reforms. Unhappily the work of reform
has been interrupted by the insurrec-
ton caused by the regeneration of the
porte. It is Italy's interest that there
should rot be war. Italy could not
ignore affairs in the east as connected

important EO1nEs
San Francisco, April 1O.-An import
ant discovery was made yesterday aft
ernoon at an important meeting of rep
resentatives of the various railway en-
plOyes.
The Brotherhood of Locomotive En-
gineers, Brotherhood of Railway Train
men, Order of Railway Conductors,
Brotherhood of Locomotive F1remen
and Order of Railroad Photographers
were represented. T. NJ. Pierson, as
sistant grand chief of the Q. R. T., OF
Terre Haute, Ind, was also present and
aided in their deliberations.
The B. L. E. members present at a
previous meeting gave it as their law
that they could not federate without
the consent of their board of adjust
ment and that board would not meet
for eighteen months. Since that time
a letter has been received from Grand
Chief Engineer P. NJ. Arthur which
contradicts this assertion, for he says
in a, letter to P. N. Merrisy, grand
master of the B. of R. t:

The secretary was instructed to cor
respond with Chairman Stafford of

sible in regard to the federation now
in existence. In answer to a question
as to the standing of the federation
at present, Mr.. Pierson said:
I'VE propose to revive the old feder-
alton Three years ago the federation
erected a building. Then an A r. U:

WHAT is YOUR TRADE?
Each Trade or Occupation Has Its
Special DIRease.

It is well known among medical men
that certain diseases are more readily
developed in certain occupations than
in others. That occupation has it's at
tendant physical weakness. Engineers.
railroad men and similar occupations
suffer mostly from kidney troubles, and
men who are often exposed to the
weather suffer from rheumatism, while
clerks and professional men, in fact
the army Of people whose business keeps
them indoors. are often great sufferers
from piles and constipation. In this
connection the following letter is of in
terest to people whose occupation will
not allow sufficient outdoor exercise.
Mr.. r. A Calhoun, notary public and
jeWeler and matchmaker of CircIeVille,
w. Va, writes as follows:
I had been a severe sufferer from
piles for years and had tried many
remedies with but little benefit, when
mid Pile Cure advertised and sent for
it
I was badly afflicted when got them,
but after only two applications the
piles disappeared, and from that day
to this 1 have never felt a symptom of
the disease.
I feel that cannot recommend them
too highly to sufferers from piles.
The Pyramid Pile Cure is free from
cocaine, opium or any mineral poison,
absolutely safe, pleasant and painless;
sold by druggists at so cents per pack
age. If there is any constipation the
Pyramid Pills should be used with the
pile cure. The pills are 25 cents per
package.
Any druggist will tell you that the
Pyramid is the best known and most
successful and popular pile cure ever
placed on the market and its reputa-
ton as a safe and radical cure has only
resulted from the personal recon-
Hnendation Of people who have been
cured of this distressing aiInent.
