 Local Authorities Should Have Some
 Say.

 Value of Product.
 The railroads of the country can- not carry all the business, the mayor said, and should have plenty of water competition. He declared that on $S0, 100000 worth of coal Boston had paid S70,000,000 in transportation charges and that something should be done to improve the conditions The government would take possession oi the coal mines of the country in & few years, he asserted, if things kept on as they had been going during the past few years.

ATYPE OF INSANITY. Turkish Critics Thus Account for the
 Altitude of Greece.

Constantinople, Dec. 4.-Speculation is rife as to the real reason for the failure of Greece to be signatory to the armistice. It is generally felt that the mere rejection of the special Greek demands did not constitute sufficient reason for Greece's independ- ent attitude. These demands were the equalization of Janita and the sur render of the Turkish troops in tho islands of Ind, Chios and Mytileno.
 In some quarters the attitude of Greece is ascribed to megalo- mania the type of insanity where the ideas are exalted. According to another view, Turkey has succeeded in put ting a wedge between Greece and the Slav states, between the Greeks and the BulgarianS at Salonik1, being adroitly utilized with that object.
 The situation has created an appar ent split in the Balkan league and has aroused the liveliest interest in all circles. and there is much curiosity respecting the final outcome.
 Meanwhile preparations for the con- clusion of peace with Bulgaria, Servia and Montenegro are being proceeded with. It has been agreed that the ne- gotiations will take place in London and with good will on both sides it is hoped that they will conclude in about eight days. Thus, with the conclu sion of peace, the Slav states and Turkey will be free to devote all their enerxies against Greece
