GREEK FLEET ROUTED BY TURKS
Il OFF TENEDOS ISLAND. ~
Official Telegram From Dardanelles
Says SuItan's War Craft Com
PEELED Foes to Withdraw.

London, Dec. 19.-The most desper-
ate naval battle Of the Balkan war is
reported as having been fought off the
Island Of Tenedos, outside the Darda-
nelles, in an official dispatch from
Constantinople on Monday.
The dispatch stated that the Greeks
lost one cruiser and two torpedo boats
and the Turks one cruiser and one
destroyer.
+ The Greek fleet was compelled to
withdraw from the action.
So wide is the divergence between
the respective claims Of the Balkan
allies and Turkey that there is little
prospect of an early termination Of
the peace conference. Moreover,
Christmas, when no sittings will oc-
cur, will mean the loss of couple
Of days. 'cS
The principal condition Of peace de-
manded by the allies comprise the
Immediate surrender of the Turkish
fortresses Of Scutari, Adrianople and
Janina, to the garrisons Of which full
military honors will be granted; the
evacuation OF eastern Europe by Tur-
key as far east as Tchatalja to line
to be delimited on the spot; the ces-
sion to Greece of all the Aegean
ielands; the annexation Of Crete to
Greece and the payment by Turkey
of war indemnity and of the ex-
penses incurred by the allies on &C.
count of the Turkish prisoners.
The allies in return are prepared
to grant complete amnesty to the
Mussulman population in the terrific
ries they annex for any acts Eof hos
tility during the war; the return of
all prisoners; the recognition of the
spiritual sovereignty Of the sultan
over Ottomans becoming subjects Of
the Balkan states, and the free ad-
ministration of the Mussulmans of
their pious foundations in the Bal

AN ANTHRACITE TRUST.
IMPORTANT POINT is WON
Decision UphoIds Contention Of the
Government That "65 Per Cent"
Contracts Are llIeeaI-Oil Case
Ruling Repeated. ~.

/ Washington, Dec. 1S.-The Supreme
court of the United States decided
against the government Monday in its
fight to have the anthracite coal car
rying railroads and their affiliated
coal companies declared to be In a
general combination in violation OF
the Sherman antitrust law.
1t won victory ii getting the court
to hold void the IS per cent. contracts
whereby the railroad coal compa-
MES" buy the output of independent"
mines. Justice Lurton. in announcing
the opinion, said these contracts
were plainly In violation Of the law.
The court also held that the rail-
roads had violated the law by attempt
ing to shut out OF the anthracite re-
gion a competitive road through the
control Of the Temple Iron company.
AS to minor combinations Of rail-
roads and coal companies charged to
be violating the law, the court dis
missed the action without prejudice to
future suits, because 1t held it not fair
to require those groups to make a
defense in an action; primarily against
a general ombination."
In an opinion announced by Asso-
ciate Justice Lurton the court says in
part: r.. <
The court reiterates the decla-
ration in the Standard OIL case. that
an act of congress does not forbid or
restrain the power to mark normal and
contracts to further trade by
resorting to, all normal methods,
by agreement or otherwise.
to accomplish such purpose Never
theless, 1t holds that the acts which 1t
finds in this case to be illegal. the
Temple Iron and IS per cent con-
tracts, were not within such class,
but, on the contrary, were abnormal In
their character and directly tended to
and were intended to Illegally restrain
trade and commerce and, therefore.
came within the statute as illustrated
by the rulings in ST. Louis Terminal
association and Swift and Co. vs..
