EN -SEN ATOIe VOORHEES,
DEAD.

Daniel Woolsrv VOORHEES,, formerly
United States Senator from Indiana, died
at ) o clock Saturday morning at his home
in WASHINGTON. Mr.. Voorhees, had been
10 poor health for several years, and du-
ring the last two years of his term in the
Senate, which ended on March 4tl, he had
taken little part in the proceedings.
Mr. VOORHEES, had been a constant suf-
ferer from rheumatism of the heart. His
death was due directly to an attack Of an
gina pectoris. a few days ago the old
rheumatic troubles became alarming but
Mr.. Voorhees, still did not contine him
self to his bed, and his family felt no i'm
mediate alarm. 1t was not, indeed, until
half an hour before the final summons
came that any one realized that death was
near
Mr. Voorhees, son, Reese n Voorhees,,
had remained in the room with his father
during tie night and was awakened about
o'clock Saturday morning 10y his father,
who was then suffering great pain in the
region of the heart. Half an hour later
he appeared much better and got out of
bed to 90 into another room. As he en-
tered the hallway be had another severe
attack and fell intoa semi conscious con
dition into his sons arms.
The later carried the dying man to his
bed and summoned DR.. Shoup. 1t was
too late, however, and Nh Voorhees, pass
ed away without regainin@ full conscious
ness. Only his son Reese, his daughter,
Miss Halle Voorhees,, and the physician
were present when he died.

1t is not uniting that one of the first
places where the Greek flag is said to have
been planted is on Mount Olympus. In
the Encouragement of the Tessaliau- Mace
DOMAIN frontier Mount Olympus was taken
from Greece a Greek preate, once COM
planning of this, said
What have we done of what have we

by the last general treaty from the limits
Of free Greece. Have we not striven side
by side with our fellow countrvmen for
the liberty which they now njny. Have
we not resisted year by year the cruel vo-
lcncc of our present masters and Struy-
gled to shake their yeke from off our
necks? We, the inhabitants of the ancient
Hellas-the cradle of Greecc-arc Danish

THE WAR CLOUD.

The situation in the East grows each
day more and more interesting and ex-
citing. Greece seems ready to pro-
woke a war with Turkey. Consider
ing the great disparity of the two
countries in point of territory and pop
ulatiOn, it would seem the height of
folly and recklessness for Greece to at
tempt war But there arr three
things upon which the brave little
kingdom may rely for success. The
first is the fact, that a large majority
of the subjects of the Sultan are Chris
tians or others who are intensely dis
satisfied with the Turkish rule and
would be glad to rise in rebellion.
Particularly is this true of the prov
inces ofThessaly and Macedonia The
second reason why Greece may hope
for success is the financial cmbarrass-
ment of the Turkish cNchcqucr, and
the rottonncss of her whole financial
system. And thirdly, Greece believes
that Bulgaria, Servia and Montenegro,
who have but lately achieved indepen-
dencc from the Turkish government,
would come to the support of the Greek
standard.
1t is said that previous to the Gre
tan instruction number of Turkish
massacres in Macedonia caused the
Bulgarian government to send dele
gate to Greece with the idea of enter
ing into treaty to jointly demand of
the European powers that sundry re-
forms should be carried ont. In case
the powers refused to intervene it was
proposed that Greece ana Bulgaria
should unite their forces in war
against Turkey, trusting for success
to the internal discomfort existing in
the Turkish empire.
Greece did not agree to this because
the Bulgarian proposition included the
annexation of Thessalonica to that
country, which Greece was unwilling
to concede. 1t is thought. however,
that the feeling of the people is so
strong against Turkey that in case of
declaration of war by Greece the
Bul garians would overthrow the pres
ent Cat met and join hands against
their common enemy.
The latest news from the seat ofhos-
tilities is that the best informed dip
lomats regard war as inevitable The
strain cannot continue much longer,
and it is thought the time has passed
for the powers to intervene.

RATES OF NNSPORTA
TION.

Business men all over the country are
showing considerable interest in the prog
ress of the railroad pooling bill introduced
in Congress by Senator Foraker. Of this
bill Chauncv NJ Depew. chairman of the
board of control of the Joint Traffic
Association, said that it was designed to
enable railroad managers to make neces-
sary traffic agreements and keep out of
jail"
The recent decision of the United States
Supreme Court under the antitrust law
the effect of which is to render illegal all
associations and agreements to cStab-
lish aud maintain uniform and stable
rates, has awakened business interests to
the possibilities of wholesale demoraliza-
ton of rates. Uncertainty as to the cost
of Transportation is generally regarded as
likely to prove disturbing element in
trade conditions and the sentiment is rap
idly growing that so important an essen
tal to the business of the country as its
transportation lines should have some
definite basis of operation.
This, it is conceded, cannot be done
without some sort of agreement among
the vast interests involved. Commissioner
George r. Blanchard, of the Joint Traffic
Association. said of the Foraker bill:
Il think the bill should be supported by
the public as we'll rs by the railroads, for
the reason that under its provisions all
shippers are put upon an equality. When
rates have been made on reasonable stand
ards | regard it as much the duty of the
government to protect shippers and rail
roads jointly by requiring uniform observ-
ance of rates and fares, as it is to enforce
the governments import and internal
revenue tariffs"
Many representative railroad officials
agree that the passage of such law is
necessary to secure to the country the
advantages which the interstate commerce
act was designed to give by assuring sta
bility and uniformity in railroad charges.
1t is explained that in its present form the
bill represents the result of several years
of discussion and negotiation, participate
ed in by congressional committees, the
interstate commerce commission, organi-
cations of business men and represent
tatiyes of railways.
1t has twelve sections, only one of
which touches the question of so-called
pooling contracts. The other changes
proposed were chiefly such as have here
tOfore been recommended by the com
mission, and the amendment to the fifth
section of the law is in the precise form
which heretofore has not been objected
to by the commission, and which has
been quite generally asSentcd to us eX-
pcdient and safe.
The measure does not vary essentially
from what was known as the Patterson
bill which passed, the House of Repre-
sentativcs in the Fifty-third Congress.
