Russia Massing a Mighty Army
At Odessa
TURKEY MUST YIELD
Certain Railroad Concessions
or There Will be War.

London, March 28.-The Standard
gives double loaded prominence to the
following despatch from Odessa:
There can no longer be any doubt
as to the object of the warlike prep
arations now being completed in South
Russia. Nearly 100000 troops have
already been modified for active SER
vice. The Black Sea squadron, with
transports, is held in instant readi-
ness.
The tension in the relations between
st. Petersburg and the Sublime Porte
becomes every day more acute. The
position is looked upon with the grav-
est apprehension.
If the Ottoman government, sup
ported by Germany, should prove
stubbornly intractable with regard to
Russia's concessionary demands in
Asia Minor, serious complications
must inevitably ensue. The Russian
garrisons in the Causasls and along
the Armenian frontier have been in
creased four-fold and equipped for ac-
tive service.

BOSTON GRANITE CUTTERS.
Will Join Strikers Next Week When
Term Of Agreement Expires.

Boston, March 2S.-It is announced
that most of the granite cutters in
Boston will join the strikers at the
beginning of next week, when the
term Of their agreement with the
manufacturers expires, as the manu-
facturers will refuse to grant the new
scale of wages demanded by the work
men. There are about $50 cutters in
this city.
The manufacturers in Worcester
hare similar agreement with their
men, but it will not make SO much
difference if the granite work in that
city is suspended, as there is compar-
itively little of it at the present
time.
Some large contracts have been re-
fused by Boston manufacturers be-
cause of the unsettled conditions of
the trade and in some instances those
who have work to be done will not
place their contracts.

STAGE DRIVERS.
Will have a fair Chance in the Fu-
ture with scalpers.

The stages which carry the mail
come under consideration this year.
The appointment, on the leasing Of
the stage routes are made every four
years, the last time being in 1896, ex.
piring this summer. This matter is
dealt with by the post Office authori-
titles in Washington, D. c., not in the
way of appointments, but in tine man.
ner of leasing or letting a whole state,
for instance the state of Vermont.
The postmaster general asks for
bids on "star route" $50 called OFF,
cially) and the ''scalpers" congregate
in Washington and make their bids
for any route SO fitted to them.
This ''star route" or as it is called
here, the stage mail between Barre
and the towns outlying, is bid in by
one of these so called sealpers and
then sublet. In some places the
routes have been taken care of in
the best possible manner, but in 9TH
ers there have been many greviouS
errors, and to obviate any further
annoyance or inattention on the part
of the carriers the P O. department
at Washington, ID. G. has had placed
in their book for 1900 clause prac-
tically doing away with the ''scalp-
ers.' The following extract explains
why:
This being the year in which con-
tracts are entered into by the govern
ment in carrying the mail on all star
routes during the next four years, the
Second Assistant Postmaster General
has printed an order that no bids will be
considered unless it is submitted by
person living on the route or contig-
uous to the route on which the service
is to be performed, or shall file with
his bid an agreement that in case of
the contract being awarded to him he
will reside on or contiguous to the
route, and give his personal supervi-
sion to the performance of the work. "
AS will been seen from this it is
necessary for the person accepting a
contract to reside on,or contiguous to
the route, This change in itself will
give chance to a resident of this
state, to 60 to Washington and pro-
cure a star route in preference to the
scalpers who have hitherto controlled
this route.
