WARSHIPS TO BE RECALLED

CONSTANTINOPLE. May 6.-The Sui
tan is pushing preparations to meet the
trouble in Salonica. hoping thus to in
duce the great powers to recall the
battleships which they have ordered to
that port TO protect foreign interests.
The minister OF war has ordered
eighteen rapid-firing guns, made on a
model sent by the Kaiser, to be for
warded TO the Third Army Corps, sta
toned at Salonica, while a commission
of officers are gathering horses at
Monastir for the use of the artillery and
cavalry there. Twelve officers who com
pleted their training in Germany have
been sent to Salonica to take charge of
the forces. and an ambulance corps,
refitted with implements from Germany
has been sent TO join the Third Corps.
The lack of vessels. however, is badly
hampering the transportation of the re-
serves. Most of the Turkish ships which
could be used for such service are laid
up for repairs.
The porte has sent request TO the
Russian and Austro- Hun garian embas-
sizes here asking that their govern
ments again press Bulgaria to take ef-
fective measures to put down the insur-
rection among the Macedonians.

ALLIES HESITATE OVER
SIGNING THE PROTOCOL
Delay Venezuelan Settlement to Deter
mine Method of Signing Instrument.

The delay in signing the protocol be-
tween the allies and Venezuela for the
submission of the question of preferen-
tial treatment to The Hague tribunal
is caused by the indecision of the repre-
sentatives of the powers in Washington
as to whether they shall sign the docu-
ment jointly or Independently
1t was the original intention that
three protocols should be signed, one
by Great Britain, one by Germany. and
a third by Italy. 1t is understood that
sires to have the representatives OF the
other two powers join with him in sign
ing a single instrument. and Sir Michael
Herbert, who stands ready TO sign sep
arate protocol, has cabled mis- govern
ment asking for instructions upon the
matter. Italy is non -committal, and IS
willing TO sign as Great Britain and
Germany may decide.
Mr. Bowen is OF disposed to favor
one plan as against the other. his only
desire being TO have the matter settled
one way or the other. He does net care
whether one or three protocols are
signed. II is probable that a decision
viii be reached tonight and the sigma
lures Will be attached either to one or
three instruments
Mr.. Bowen is in conference this after
noon with the representatives of the
powers at the British embassy.

GARBAGE SERVICE
CAUSES FRICTION
Contractors Have Failed to
Keep Agreement.
TRl-WEEKLY COLLECTIONS
Fertilizer Company Failed to Start
Daily Service as equired-Penalty
Imposed, But Now Paid.
TRl-WEEKLY COLLECTIONS

At the request of Commissioner West
question OF daily garbage service and
determined that the 81, 900 penalty re-
tanned from compensation to the Wash
ington Fertilizer Company should be
paid. 1t was further determined that
the daily service should begin on May
Is, to conform with the terms of the
contract
Much friction has existed between the
Street Cleaning Department and the
! Washington Fertilizer Company for the
past few weeks relative to the colIec-
ton and removal of garbage. In fact
the company has not observed the terms
of the contract according to the rec
ords, and a few days ago Superintendent
Stutler recommended to the Commits
sioners that 81 900 penalty be imposed
for failure TO keep the agreement.
Terms of Agreement.
Under the contract it is specified that
the daily collection of garbage shall be-
gin on April Is each year. Taking ad-
vantage of the cool weather, the Super
intendent OF Street Cleaning alleged in
his report TO the Commissioners that the
company had not on April % changed
from the tri-we eekly service, allowable
from October 1 to April 10. In pursuit
of his duty under the contract Superin-
tendent Stutler retained the 81 900 pen
atty in making up his returns for last
month.
Spurred on by the action of Superin-
tendent Stutler, it appears from the re
ports OF his Office the company put on
ten additional wagons and increased the
service to that extent
The Company's Plea.
The company advanced the plea that
they were allowed the tri-weekly service
last year until July /, and owing TO the
cool spring it claimed the same priyi-
lege this year Last year, however, an
emergency arose over the question of
delivery of dead animals 10 the company
under decision then pending before the
Corporation Counsel. The decision was
reached in June and the dead animals
since that time have been delivered to
the company.
Last year, because of this failure on
the part or the District TO enforce it's
part of the contract, lenience was shown
to make good the loss of the company.
This year the same conditions do not ex-
ist, and the Commissioners hold the
company cannot be allowed TO keep up
the trI- weekly service after May 10.
Mr.. West holds that the company
should observe its contract, which it has
violated since April 10, receiving pay
for a daily service when it performs
only a tri-weekIy service.

Postmaster General An

Postal Establishments In
Most PopuiouS Cites.
Details NOT Yet Decided, Buf
IL IS Kno10n Investigation
WIH CoOer Particularly the
Purchase of Supplies.

Postmaster General Payne stated this
morning that the Investigations now in
progress into postal affairs will probably
result in a general overhauling of all the
large postoftices in the country. He said:
Last year Representative Loud and
myself had an extended conference over
postal affairs. and came to the conclusion
that some OF the large Offices should be
examined generally, but especially In ref
erence to the purchase OF supplies. We
expected that the work might take all OF
tie year 1903. and for that reason 1t was
agreed to raise the miscellaneous fund
at my command from 81 900 TO $4,000,
which was granted by Congress.
May Employ Outside Help
81 have not yet resolved on the ex-
tent or details of the scheme for ex-
amining city postoffices. Il may be done
by a committee of experts, who may be
from the PostofT1ce Department or may
be composed of people outside or the
department. The appropriation was in
creased because we could not foresee
all the expenses incident to such an un-
dertaking. and desired to have enough
money 10 do the work thoroughly. II
may be thought best to employ local ex-
perts on some of the postoffices, or we
may have TO employ lawyers, in which
case it VIII be necessary 10 pay for the
service.
The examination of city postofiees
will proceed no matter what is the out
come of the investigation into the con-
duct of affairs in the Postoface De-
partment. This examination will con
tinue long after the investigations hers
have ceased, and viii probably result il
a change in the methods OF doing busi-
ness.
