Recruited.


London. Aug. I5.-Letters received
here from Monastir, dated Aug. 8, add
some information regarding the situ-
alton then prevailing 10 the brief re-
ports that the censor allows to leak out.
The letters say:
The insurrectiOnary bands have
nearly their full complement of men,
and those revOlutiOnists who were de-
layed by the harvesting are fastening
to join the colOrs. Heretofore the re-
cruits We're required to provide their
own rifles. Now all are supplied from
magazines in the mountains.
Excepting for TWO or three places
possessing strategic advantages, all OF
the sixty or seventy villages in the
KirchevO district are deserted.
In the Florina district the rebels
have a large depot IN a strong position
in the mountains. Many women are
baking bread day and night for those
in the fields. and large supplies Of
clothing, shoes. rifles and ammunition
are kept there. A SPY informed the
Turkish authorities of the depot and
they sent 1000 troops on Aug. 4 to can
ture the place. The fight which ensued
lasted twenty-four hours Many sol
diers were killed but the stronghold
was so secure that the rebels who sus-
tanned no losses, repulsed the attack.

AMERICA COULD NOT

Peking. Aug. 1.-THE report that
Russia and China will ask the Ameri-
can government to arbitrate all ques-
tons arising over the Russian occu-
pancy Of Manchuria is absolutely dis
credited here. 1t is believed, neverthe-
less, that both of these powers have
already arrived Al a mutual under
standing on the subject. although upon
what terms, none Of the foreign lega-
tons here have as yet been able to as
certain. America is generally consid-
cred one Of the last governments which
could possibly be asked 20 arbitrate in
this case, owing to the position it has
already taken in strongly advising Chi
ma to use every effort to secure the
evacuation Of this northern portion Of

WANT RATES INCREASED.

THE railroads of the state are APP
plying to the railroad commission
for a hearing having for it's purpose
the proposition to increase rates
The commission has taken the mat
ter under advisement and is gather
ing information relative to net earn
ings tcr the pest year that it may be
enabled to determine the business of
the claims made by the roads for
higher rates.
In their application for an increase
in rates the roads set forth that they
have not made reasonable dividend
on their capital stock, that they are
entitled to this under the decision of
the Supreme court, aud having fail
ed to make ii upuer the present
rates, are entitled to such increase
as Will bring them a reasonable re-
turn on their investment after all ex-
penges are paid.
This being the doctrine of the
court of last resort the public, which
must pay this charge, are vitality in
terested in the prosperity of their
common carriers. Why have the
roads failed 10 make a reasonable
percent on their investment, if in
deed, they have so failed? The ton.
mage has been unusually heavy
there has been no general increase
in wages; repairs while likely great
or than usual have doubtless been
met by the increased freight and
passenger traffic. What items of
expense, then, have been incurred
10 absorb the income of the roads?
The public is entitled TO know If
the public must guarantee the roads
reasonable return on their invest
ment the public has a right TO de-
mand that the properties be econom-
ically managed, and if not so man
aged, should not be called upon to
make good deficiencies caused by
missmanagement.
With the increasing business of
Texas railroads and the growth and
development of the state, there
should be tendency to lower rates
rather than raise them. The com
mission cannot be too careful in
thoroughly sitting this demand for
Increased rates. This paper has
great faith in the honesty of the
members of the commission; IL be-
lieves in commission regulation Of
traffic rates, but holds that the pub-
lie being most directly interested
should always be alert 10 claim its
rights, demanding that the roads
be permitted to take no more than is
justly needful for their purposes
under the law.
