Replies to Recent Communication of the Porte and
 PIenipotentiaries Will Be Named Today
FIGHTING STILL CONTINUES AT TCHATALJALINE
Turkish Forces There Are Well Supplied With Food and Ann muntion-Prospect of European Dssensions Over Set clement of Territorial Claims More Menacng-Alies Likely to Disagree Over Monastir

the Turkish defense may prove diff f1culty.
 European Dissensions.
 The prospect of European dissen- sions arising out of the settlement Of the numerous territorial claims to be arranged after the war, becomes daily more menacing. Austria has not pre- sented an actual ultimatum to Servla, setting a. time for reply to certain 1z- ouiries which she has made, but short of that the relations between the two countries are very strained and Ser via's evident intention to take Du- razzo will be still another defiance of Austria.
 Austria and Russia Preparing.
 Vice Admiral Monte. Cuccoli, in the Austrian delegation, today warned the members to be prepared for the rise of powerful Balkan navies in the Aegean sea. This Is one of the signs of the encouragement of southeastern Europe as a result of the war which is likely to keep the European chan cellories in a state of tension for a long time to come.
 Both Austria and Russia are taking measures so that they will be prepared for any eventuality. It Is reported to- night from St. Petersburg that Rus sia is purchasing several hundred guns abroad.
 Monastir a Bone of Contention. According to a despatch from Bel grade, the disposition of Monastir was not provided for by prior agreement by the allies, and will likely cause trouble. The Servians wish to estab- fish their claim, and 1t is intended | that the king of Servia shall make a triumphal entry into the city. On the other hand, the Bulgars claim that Monastir is situated in a predomi- | nantly Bulgarian district, while the Greeks contend that the leading part of the population is of Greek national ity.
 The Austrian correspondents con- slider the breach with Servia over the treatment of the Austrian consuls se- rious.
 Americans May Go Over Fields.
 Washington, Nov. 1S.-The United States has asked the Balkan allies and Turkey to permit party of Am erican army officers to join their forces and go over the fields on which some of the greatest battles of mod ern times have been fought within the past few weeks. If the permission is | given, the members of the special cav | airy board now touring Europe and l the available military attaches at Lon don and Paris will be ordered to the l scene at once.

FIGHTING CONTINUES.
Turks Might Be Able to Hold TchataI-
 la Lines.

London. Nov. 19-The report that an armistice had been agreed to by the Bulgarians and Turks along the Tchatalja lines for the burial of the dead appears to have been unfounded. Despatches from Nazim Pasha, the Turkish commander in chief, show the artillery duel continued through out the day.
 Turkey May End Battle.
 The Turks claim successes against the Bulgarians, but there is nothing to indicate that the Bulgarians have yet made any serious attempt to pene- fratc the lines. The battle may be ended at any moment by Turkey &C., cepting the allies terms for an armis- lice. which are said to include the surrender of the Tchatalja lines, Ad- rianople. Durazzo and Scutari. There is a possibility. however, that Turkey may decline to surrender Tchatalja. While her western army has been completely defeated, she still posses ses, according to the correspondents at the front, a homogeneous army behSGd the Tchatalja Notifications. largely composed of some of her best fighting material from the Asiatic provinces which has not yet been in action.
 Coed Supply of Food and Ammunition
 Moreover the demoralization and Kirk Killisseh and Lule Burgas re- treats appear to have been remedied, and the army is well supplied with food and ammunition. Under these circumstances the porte may be in- duced to make a further stand in the hope of securing easier peace condi- lions. Evidently Bulgaria has brought up all her available forces to attack Tchatalja, including some of the Ser vian troops. but the task of crushing

A Government Investigation
PENDING RAILROAD AGREEMENT
 TO BE PRoBED.
APPEAL TO PRESIDENT
Representatives of Massachusetts and Rhode Island Wait Upon Taft-At- torney General to Aot at Once.

. Washington, Nov. 1S.-Vfgorous in vestigation by the federal government of the reported traff1c arrangements between the Grand Trunk railway or Canada and the New York, New Ha- ven & Hartford railroad, which New England state officials fear will de- stroy railway competition in that sec ton, was promised today by Attorney General Wickersham to representa- tives of the governors Of Massaonn- setts and Rhode Island.
 Appealed to Taft.
 Members of the Massachusetts rail- road commission and the Rhode Is land utilities commission, speaking for the governors of those states, appealed to President Taft today for federal intervention under the Sherman anti- trust law to check the alleged deal and prevent any possible monopolizat1on of the railroad facilities of New Eng land. It was alleged that the Grand Trunk has abandoned it's proposed ex- tensions in Southern New England in consideration of trackage privileges from the New Haven.
 Turned Over to Attorney General. President Taft turned the delega- tion over to Attorney General Wick ersham, who, bombarded by numer- GUS protests from New England, al- ready had instituted an inquiry to as- certain the facts.
 Jesse c. Adkins assistant attorney general, who has immediate charge of the governments investigation, at tended the conference. Much valuable information as to the real situation Is said to have been laid before the attorney general by the New England CTS, The details were not made pub | lie, officials declaring that the subject was still in the status of investigation, and it would be improper to make any statement before all the facts had been | aSeertained.
 Viewed from Standpoint of Sherman Law.
 | MT. Wickersham is looking at the | situation entirely from the standpoint 1 of the Sherman law. and if move is made by the government it will be under that statute and not the inter- state commerce act It has not vel been decided whether the government would institute a criminal prosecution or civil suit seeking injunctiens against the reported agreement.
 Another Conference Today.
 The New England officials will con- fer further with the department ot justice officials tomorrow. The dele | gation consists of Chairman F. J. Mao Leod and George W. Bishop of the | Massachusetts railroad commission and Chairman William c. Bliss, Sam uel B. Hudson and Robert F. Rodmar of the Rhode Island utilities comnnis. sion.

NEGOTIATIONS SUSPENDED. Railroads Awaiting Action by the . Federal Government.

New Haven, Nov. 19.-It is under stood that Attorney General Wicker sham has asked the New York, New Haven & Hartford Railroad Co. for details of the negotiations relating to the proposed traffic agreement with the Grand Trunk. This Is interpreted here as the first official step of the attorney general, preliminary to de- termining whether to bring suit un- der the Sherman act, to prevent the agreement.
 Should the suit be brought, 1t will be the second of Attorney General WickerBham against the New Haven, under the federal statute, the first being that brought some years ago to prevent the New Haven's control of the Boston 6 Maine. The latter suit was withdrawn after the Massachu- setts legislature had assented to New Haven control of the Boston & Maine through the Boston Holding company.
 The contention of the New Haven Co. as against any successful suit against the proposed Grand Trunk agreement, is that the agreement does not in fact exist legally, as it has not been signed by the two contracting parties; that the contemplated agree ment, even if carried through, would enlarge railroad facilities and traffic in New England, instead of restricting themi and that the question of stop page of work on the Southern New England is one entirely in the hands of the Grand Trunk company and has not been referred to in the proposed agreement.
 It is ascertained here that the ne- gotiations of the two companies are practically suspended, pending action of the federal government in the mat ter,
