The London Chronicle publishes a

ent saying that if Greece still refuses
to yield to the demands of the powers
after the blockade had begun, or if
she declares war on Turkey or takes
action on the Macedonian frontier,
some of the powers have decided TO
&c try coercion to anyNength even to
destroying the powerof Greece, both
for the present and thefnture.
The reply of the poSte;'Sto the Dote
which was presented atpS the Turkish
government by the POWERS simultane-
ously with the presentation of the ulti

THE NEW TRAFFIC. ARRANGEMENT
n. and r., santa Fee and =. II. Have

II. and r, santa Fc and =. II. Have
Formed a Temporary Alliance.
The Southern Pacific has made ar
rangements to divert considerable OF Its
freight coming from the Pacific coast coun-
try and destined to points in the Atlantic
seaboard territory, at Ell Paso to the Texas
and Pacific and Atchison, Topeka and
Santa Fe, using the all-rail route instead
of by New Orleans and the Morgan line
OF steamships. This arrangement is only
temporary, being In effect SO long as the
quarantine against Louisiana exists. The
company for the past two weeks has been
badly crippled in the transportation Of
freight to New. Orleans, and had concluded
to handle the business via the port OF Gal
weston, but for obvious reasons chose the
Ell, Paso and all-rail route for perishable
freight and that demanding quick service.
In this way no connection win be had with
the Southern States as was indicated In
the Associated Press dispatches Of yester-
day the shipments going via st. Louis and
Chicago.
The Morgan boats will continue to ply
between New York and Galveston, and
handle business originating In this terri
tory and east OF El Paso.
The congestion Of. freight In Houston
territory destined to New Orleans and
Louisiana points has been relieved by the
opening Of a special service from Houston
to Algiers, and seventy nine cars OF freight
that were caught In Texas by the quaran-
tine were sent east Friday night. Once
this equipment is east Of the Texas State
line 1t remains until the restrictions are
dissolved. The Ell Dorado, Morgan liner.
steamed out of Galveston yesterday, car
ryfng a cargo OF freight for New Orleans
and Louisiana points that had been brought
from New York to Galveston, as the boats
en- route south made no stop at the Louis
lana port. Hereafter the El Dorado will
ply between New York and New Orleans
exclusively.

HIS Determination to Withdraw

Louisville, April 2o.-A special to the
Evening Post from Frankfort says: DR..
Hunter, Republican nominee for the U. 8.
senate, today issued the following state
ment:
II have gone over the whole situation
carefully, and admit Idon't know where
my one vote is to come from. Under
these circumstances, shall not prolong
the fight beyond reasonable time, when I
see that it is hopeless. The proceeding
before the grand jury had absolutely moth.
ing to do with my change of front. 1t has
not been factor in the fight, except to
solidify and strengthen the loyalty of my
friends. 1t was simply transparent
conspiracy to defame me.

just when he will withdraw is as yet
doubtful, but In all probability he will get
out Of the race tomorrow.
