AFTER ANOTHER ROUTE.

8 Boston, Nov. 1.-THE Grand Trunk
Railway of Canada is negotiating with
the New York, New Haven & Hart
ford Railroad for the right not only
to reach Boston and Providence over
the lines of the latter road, but to
carry its business into all the sta
lions of the entire New Haven sys-
TEN, including the Boston & Maine
road, according to a statement given
out, tonight, by Vice President Tim
othy E. Byrnes ofAthe New Haven.
The statement is issued to explain
the reasons for disseminating work on
the Southern New England Railroad,
the Grand Trunk subsidiary, as am
nounced, yesterday. Vice President
Byrnes states that already an agree
ment has been reached between the
two roads for the joint use of the
Central Vermont tracks between
Windsor and White River Junction,
VT. The withdrawal of the petition of
the Boston & Maine for permission to
construct q line from Claremont to
Lebanon, n. H., paraleling the Central
Vermont line, was announced, Satur-
day.
While declaring that the exact rea-
son for ordering a suspension of work
on the Southern New England rail
road is not known to President Mel
len, the statement admits that joint
negotiations are under way and have
been for some time looking to joint
use of the New Haven lines by the
New Haven and Grand Trunk roads.
The statement of Vice President
Byrnes is as follows:
Vice President Byrnes says he has
talked over the telephone. this eve
ming, with Mr.. Mellen at his residence
in Stockbridge and has been assured
by Mr.. Melen that there has been no
agreement of airy description yet ar
rived at with the Grand Trunk Rail-
way except as to the joint use of
Central Vermont tracks between Wind :
sor and White River Junction.

HORRIBLE SCENES.
Tale of the Misery and Sufferings
Among Turkish Soldiers.

Paris Nov. IA staff correspondent
of the Temps, Jean Rodes, who has
reached Constantinople from the war
scene, sends vivid picture of the mis-
cry of the Turkish soldiers and the dis
organization of the Turkish army. He
SAYS:
1--WE have witnessed the failure OF the
Turk as soldier. We have seen him
diving of hunger. worn out by fatigue,
wrecked by suffering and running
away after having abandoned his place
in the combat
Il have never seen a more poignant
picture of human distress than that
pre- scented by these unhappy men,
thrown into one of the most terrible
wars in history, without food, without
medical attention, almost without
chiefs. almost without arms. And at

TURKS DEFEATED AGAIN.

London. Nov. 11.-Judging by all
presidents in the present war the news
from Constantinople, tonight. is the
herald of another Turkish defeat At
the Tehatalja lines, where a battle has
been proceeding for the past two or
three days.
The Turkish admission that so
many wounded are arriving at the cap
ltal as TO show that the Turks are Of
fering fierce resistance has a great
significance in view of previous adj
missions of similar nature, and may
be regarded as preparing the public
mind for another disappointment.
There are indications that Bulgaria
may after all, foreso triumphal en-
try into constahtinople According to
some reports, Bulgaria will be con
tent with finding suitable quarters for
her army, while the peace negotiations
are going on, and subsequent settle-
ments are being arranged.
The question of mediation has made
another step forward in the announce
ment from Paris, tonight, that the
Austrian government has agreed to
join with the other Powers in trans
hitting Turkeys request for mediation
to the allies and inquiring on what
terms the allies are disposed to accept
mediation.
The revelation of the danger to Eu
ropean peace lying i'll the antagonistie
interests of Austria and Servia APP
pears to have quckened the sense Of
the Powers and probably of the Bal
kan States also to the imperative need
of working in amieable cooperation
to secure a settlement Of the Balkan
problems acceptable to all the par
ties concerned Another factor maxi
ing for the speedy cessation of the
war is the approach of severe winter
conditions, which would give to the
campaign an exceedingly arduous
character.
There is still talk. in Vienna of sending
an ultimatum to Servia, and other war
like reports, but it is believed that Ger
many is exercising an ameliorating in
tluence In the direction of persuading
both Austria and Servia to consent to a
postponement of the settlement until the
whole matter can be dealt with by the
European conference.
Meanwhile diplomacy is active in all
the European capitals. 1t is understood
that after his important mission at Buda
Pest is concluded DIR. Daheff, president of
the Bulgarian Chamber of Deputies, will
go to the other European courts to ex-
plain the views of the allies. The Ser
Wan premier, M. Pachtch, after an i'm
portant cabinet meeting left Belgrade,
tonight, for Uskurp to counsel with King
Peter on the situation
The reported mobilization of the Aus
tro- Hungarian forces Is denied at Buda

minister has issued an order to all the
