COMPANY BACKS DOWN
Conference Held This Morning by
Members of Chamber of Commerce
And Officials.

operating the Washington Virginia
| Railway has made complete back
down in the case of the increase ot
rates on it's lines between Alexandr.:,
Washington and suburban points. Net
only is the announcement made that
all Of the old rates and tickets will 5e
restored as soon as proper notice can
be given but that the 25 trip ticket be
tween Washington and Alexandra
which formerly sold fo 1880 will be
made good for seven persons in fac
lily and that the limit will be 80 days
instead Of 80 days.
The announcement was made last
night d, :. meeting Of the special COM
mittee named by City Council to take
up the question of the rates with the
Interstate Commerce Commission and
the State Corporation Commissica.
The committee consists Of Howard W.
Smith, Capt. Albert Bryan and A. d.
Brockett, Of the Common Council and
Henry K. Field and Jacob Bril-, Of the
Board of Aldermen.
The committee met at the Office Of
Samuel P. Fisher, Corporation Attor
ney and proceeded to organize by the
election of Howard w. Smith as chair
man and Capt. Bryan as secretar''
They had only been in session few
moments when Gardner l.. Boothe sec
rotary Of the Washington Utilities
Railroad asked to be heard. He stated
:hssc the board Of directors Of the
railway company had held meeting
in Washington in the afternoon anil
had decided to restore the rates as
soon as the proper notice could be is
sued.
After Mr.. Boothe had made his
statement the committee decided to
take no further action until they had
reported back to Council and had re-
ceived further instruction from them.
Mr.. Boothe made his appearance,
this morning before the transportl
ton committee and board of directors
of the chamber Of commerce and made
a similar statement.
1t is needless to say, extremely
gratifying to everyone in Alexandria,
tina THE officials of the railway COM
pany acted so promptly III restoring
the rates and the only regret is th!l
they took such an illadvised action in
the first place.

INFORMAL MEETING.
Believed Turks Will Have Instruc-
tions it Negotiate With Greek
Delegates at Next Meeting.

London, Dec. 20.-While an impe-
rial courier from Constantinople today
was hurrying across Europe, bring
ing fresh instructions from the Porte
to the Turkish peace delegates, there
was no formal session of the confer
ence at St. James Palace, but the
plenipotentiaries held informal consul
tations at their hotels.
The delegates of all the Balkan
States and Turkey were to be rep
presented this afternoon to King
George by Sir Edward Grey, secre-
tary of State for Foreign Affairs at
Buckingham Palace.
Following their reported tentative
settlement of the Austria-Servian ques
tion it was said that the ambassado-
rial conversations, this afternoon
would adjourn over the Christmas
holidays.
When the peace conference recon-
venes tomorrow afternoon, it was be-
lieved in diplomatic circles today, the
Turks will have instructions to nego-
tiate with the Greek delegates, and
the first actual steps of the confer
ence will be taken. But another hitch
was not improbable, for it was be-
lieved that the Turkish ENJOYS i'm
mediately would demand the privilege,
for Turkey. of reprovisioning Adri-
anople, Scutari and Janina, and it
was thought that Greece could urai-
terably oppose suc.: procedure.
The report that the Garabaldians
legian received a severe check near
Janina, losing g'all their officers and 400
men killed and wounded, was confirm
ed today This was the explanation
of the Constantinople claims that the
Turks had won great land victory.
The Garabaldian Legion, made up
of some 10000 soldiers of fortune,
