TURKEY AND BULGARIA
AGREE AS TO FRONTIER
Details Not Known, but Porte
Probably Will Double Ter
ritory in Europe.
fBy Cablo TO The Tribune. J

London. Sept. 16-From Constant
rople comes the important announce
ment that the frontier question between
Turkey and Bulgaria has been settled
as regards the main points. and de-
aanitive solution may be expected to-
morrow.
The nature Of the arrangement thus
concluded is not stated. but the main
features are clear enough. Instead or
n direct frontier from Enos, on the
Egean Sea, 20 Midia, on the Black
Sea, provided for by the Treaty OF
London, which would shut the Ottoman
Empire in Europe into an enclave
barely thirty miles wide at it's narrow
est part. the Bulgarians as the result
OF their unfortunate war with their
ouondam allies have had TO yield the
greater part OF Thracc, which in the
London treaty they would have Sc
cured.
Adrianoplc naturally is lost. From
the moment when the triumphant army
OF Enver Bey. without serious opposi-
ton and almost without firing a shot.
reoccupied the sacred city II was clear
that nothing but armed coercion or a
most formidable scale would be avail
able 10 turn the Turks out. The Porte
made this plain from the outset. and
from that resolve il has not sWerved a
single instant
But besides Adriauople Bulgaria also
loses Kirk kilisseh. in all probability.
In short, Turkey I'm Europe provided
for in the arrangement between The
Porte and Bulgaria will bc az least
twice as large in area as that laid down
In the Treaty Of London.
No one supposes Tor z moment that
the solution about 10 be reached in
Constantinople can mark a definite end
of the problem. II is at best but a
temporary patch up which must be fol-
lowed In the near future by fresh
troubles. The Bulgarians do not at
tempt 10 disguise their resolution that
as soon as they have recuperated their
wasted national finances. rcorganzcd
their defeated army and generally re-
covered from the disasters of the war
with the allies they will revenge them
selves both on Greece and Turkey

from The Tribune Bureau. J

Washington, Sept. 15.-With the House
managers insisting that the revenue issue
IS paramount. the conferrees on the tariff
bill made many compromises and consd-
cradle progress in their consideration OF
the measure to-day. The most important
action. from revenue standpoint, con-
cerned tops and yarns in the woollen
schedule and the proposed free listing by
the Senate of burlaps
one OF the important agreements of the
lay occurred when the Senate conferrtes

A compromise was reached on tops ana
yarns and a tentative agreement when

the House expected 10 derive from un-
bleached burlsp was made. Representa-
tive Underwood vigorously protested
against the free listing Of burlaps, which
were made dutiable at 70 per cent in the
House bill and which were estimated to
produce az least 10000 in revenue. The
Senate will be forced 10 agree TO duty
probably Of from 10 TO 10 per cent on
burlap cloth with a corresponding in
crease Of the low Senate rates on b1rlap
sacks and bags.
In the House bill wool tops and yarns
carried a duty of 10 and ~ per cent, re
spectively. This was cut TO . and 10 per

available. the conference decided upon
duty OF 10 per cent on tops and Is ter

the theory that the latter was not an ~

Secretary Garrison in Favor of
Short Enlistments.


Washington, Sept. lJ.-Thc Secretary ~
War has returned to Washington from
a trip during which hc visited practical
IS all of the big army posts Of the coun-
try, talked with and to thousands OF pco-

which viii make the army popular.
In Secretary Garrison's opinion the mii-
itary problem of the United States Ie-
solves itself into doing one Of two things
treating u great standing army or Gre
ating an efficient reserve. which means
the adoption of some device OF having
among the men of the nation n large
number who have served a term of en-
listment in the army. The country. IL
has been pretty well proved. is against
great standing army, and consequently
the solution Of national defence deyOlYcS
upon the creation OF the reserve.
MIR. Garrison. after his trip through the
country. believes in short enlistment
term. lie says that the effect Of the pres
cni long term Is that desirable men re-
fuse TO enter, and the men already In
the service refuse to re-enllst
lie declared to-day that lie favored "A
term Of three years. with tho privilege
given to every man of shortening this
