The Balkan War.

Now it is reported that Turkey s
negotiations with the allied Balkan
forces are only to gain time. II ssiSA
The Sultan wants the powers ITO
prevent the allies occupying Constan-
tinople, and they seem disposed to IN
tervene for that purpose.
The Turkish government has little
hope of holding the lines before the
capital, on which the Bulgarians con-
tinue their attacks. Cholera RACES
among the Turkish soldiers defend
ing the capital.
The Austrian ambassador is report
ed to have told the Turkish foreign
minister that the interests of Austria
and Turkey have become Identical.
The question of the Bulgarian Tor
ces entering Constantinople is being
considered by the Bulgarian govern
ment. The general opinion is that
even if the cabinet is ready to fore
go such a triumph, it might not be
able to withstand the pressure from
the military authorities.
10000 men have fallen during
the war.

GOOD BASKET BALL GAME.
Cardinals Defeat Coast Artillery
Team at Fort Washington
Saturday.

The Cardinal Basket Ball team jour
neyed to Fort Washington, Md, Sat-
urday evening and defeated the Coast
Artillery Team by 81 to 8. Both
teams played a pretty game, but the
crack home team played "ringaround-
the daisies" with the soldier boys and
we're never in danger of losing, but
had to tighten up occasionally to keep
them in bounds. The Cardinals will
not enter any league this season, but
will play under the colors of the ANA
eur Athletic Union of the South At
antic Association, and will have a
chedule arranged that will give Alex
lndrians a chance to witness some OF
he finest games ever seen in this
ity. The Cardinals hope that the
:itizens will lend their aid by attend
ng the games and thus help them in
paying the expenses incident to the
game, such as hall rent, transporta-
lion for visiting teams, advertising
tic. Two teams-the Regulars and
Cardinal Reserves Champions of the
Washington Basketball League, will
inc up as in previous years.

A FEW OF THE DERELlCTS.

President Taft received only eight
votes in the electoral college, but he
will not be lonely in his defeat, says
the Nirginian. Many of his. former
friends followed him to political
grave and they who mourn them are
far fewer than those at the of M.
Taft.
Out in Danville, ILL.,, is an old man
who has gone his unregenerate way
for many, many years, cynical, -uncom-
promising, his back to the stream.
At last he has been swept away.
"Uncle joe" was defeated and will
be seen no more in the halls Of con-
gress. He will be missed, but not re-
GREETED
John Dalzell, second only to Cannon
as a standpatter, has been compelled
TO throw down his hand and retire
from the game. The Pennsylvanians
of the Allegheny county district de
cided to give him rest from his con-
gressional duties, and resting will be
his portion after March 4th.
William B. Mckinley, President
Taft's pre-convention campaign man.
ager, is also among the missing. Sui
loway, of New Hampshire, of pension
notoriety, has gone from us, along
with Currier, of the same state Eber-
nezer Hill, of Connecticut, and Johr
j. Gardner also ran only to be de
feated. There are left Of the old
standpat cotorie Serene Payne and
James r. Mann, who managed u
sneak in while the voters were not
looking.
This is a partial roll of the house
leaders who were defeated. In thu
senate it is just as long. There Is
Crane, of Massachusetts,; Cullom, Of
Illinois; Jones, of Washington; Gug,
genheinn, of the Smelter Trust; Sand
ers, the Tennessee appointee Of fus.
ion governor, and few others. Snloo'
remains, as do Warren, Of Montana
and Lodge, but the rest of the "Olo
Guard" once masters of the Senate
have been ofrced into involuntary re
tirenaent, joining Hale and Aldrich
who got out of the way of the avail
anche before it fell.

A fund OF YlU,0UO,UUO Tor PENSIONS

combined benefits for superannuarioE.
sickness, accident and death for ALI
industrial army more than twice az
large as the standing army CT the
United States.
This provision is made entirely at
the expense of the various companies
interested, without contributions or
anykind from the employees them
selves. The application of these Va
RED benefits will be strictly Demo-
cratic and will be for the benefit OF
all employees themselves of every rank
The plan will provide for free change
of employment from one company to
another, with full credit for combln-
ed terms of service.
Tie Bell system and associated in
terests provide employment for about
175,O0O people; of this number 49,

made for the needs Of age, illness, &C
cidents and death may be summarized
as follows:

The amount of the pension is auto
matically based on the years OF SER
vice and the amount of pay, and VIII
be one per cent of the average annuai
pay for ten years, multiplied by the
number of years OF service. There
fore. a man who has been thirty
wears in service would get so per cent
of the average salary which he nae
been receiving during his last ten

RAPs RECALL OF JUDICIARY
New York Senator Defends Both state
and Federal Courts In
Speech.

New York.-Senator El;hu Root In
an address here before the New York
State Bar association stanchly de-
Tended both the state and federal
courts OF the country and denounced
the principle underlying the recall OF
judges.
Senator Root, speaking OF the In
creasing tendency among Americans
toward impotence with the courts
whenever judicial decisions do not
agree with their wishes, said the pro-
visions for the recall of judges adopt
ed In some states and widely advo-
Gated In others are an exhibition OF
this impotence and a demand for
more unchecked opportunity to make
the judges feel its effects. With these
tendencies the speaker declared he
had no sympathy.

HOUSE INQUIRY ovERTURNS
FINDINGS OF SECRETARIES.
Paralysis of Pure Food and Drug
Laws Enforcement Is Denounced
by Verdict.

Washington.-The house committee
that has been making an inquiry into
the charges preferred against DIR.
Harvey w. Wiley, chief chemist of the
department of agriculture has given
the food expert clean bill of health.
generating him from all of the ac-
cusations laid against him.
The committee in it's report sustains
Doctor Wiley all along the line, except
on unimportant details.
The report pays much attention to
the Remsen board, to the activity of
Solicitor George P. McCabe, who was
the principal opponent of Doctor Wiley
in the department, and recommends,
in general, that Doctor Wiley be given
a free hand in the enforcement of the
pure food and drug law.
In this manner the power formerly
exercised by Solicitor McCabe is cut
down.
The final stamp of approval of the
conclusions, reached after months OF
investigation, was affixed by all mem.
bers of the committee.

NEW L0RIMER LEAD SPRUNG
Detective Burns Has Evidence Witness
Received $500 to Testify
at Washington.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS more
or less sensational about to take place
in the Lorimer case will disclose that
William ]. Burns, the detective who
built up the evidence around the Nc
Namara dynamiters. has been at work
for at least three months gathering
evidence to be presented to the com
mittee investigating the election OF
the junior senator from Illinois.
Mr.. Burns was employed for about a
month by the senate committee, and
later was engaged by the interests
fighting to unseat Senator Lorimer.
1t is reported that the end sought
by the anti-Lorimer interests is the
impeachment of certain witness who
gave evidence In Senator Lorimer's
defense relating to the alleged state
ment of G. F. Wiehe, brother-in-law
of Edward Hines. that a Jackpot"
fund of 100000 was used ito put
Lorimer over"
In substance Burns is declared to
have reported to the committee that
he was prepared to offer evidence
that one of the witnesses who testified
in regard to this incident had cob
fessed he was paid $1,000 to come to
Washington. A Photographic method
by which Burns obtained the alleged
confession is also said to have been
laid before the committee.
