New York, Feb. 1S.-There will he
no firemen's strike on the Eastern
railroads. The railroads yielded to-
day and agreed to arbitrate under
the Erdman act the controversy with
the Brotherhood of Locomotive Fire
men and Enginemen.
The firemen had stood to q man
for this method Of arbitration ever
since the deadlock began; the rail-
roads had stood firm for arbitration
before commission of six or seven
men.

will decide the firemens claims
Their decisions will be binding.
The agreement to arbirate was
promptly signed by both sides.

ment later, announced that the fire.
mems committee had passed a res
olution, recommending that the labor
organizations and the railroads unite
in requesting such amendments to the
existing law as may be found desir-
able"
In agreeing to arbitration under
the Erdman act, the railroads came
to the position the firemen have held
since the renewal Of negotiations.
The railroads were willing to ar
bitrate but they wished to have the
controversy submitted to a committee
Of six The firemen objected to this
on the ground that it was contrary
to statute.
The question to come before the
arbitrators is principally one of
wages.
The firemen selected as ther rep
resentative Albert Phillips of Sacra-
mento, Cal, vice president of their
organization. The railroads selected
w. w. Atterbury, vice president and
general manager of the Pennsylvania
lines, east.
Within a day or two these men will
select the third, or neutral, MEM
ber. Within 80 days thereafter the
arbitrators must render their find

Washington, Feb. 1S.-The Bur-
nett-Dillingham immigration bill,
vetoed by President Taft because 1t
imposed a literacy test upon immi-
grants. was passed over the Presi-
dents veto in the Senate today by a
vote OF 72 to Is. The overwhelming
majority given at the end of a short
debate in which President Taft's at
titude was vigorously attacked, has
strengthened the probability that the
bill will be passed over the veto in
the House when it is called up to-
morrow.
Support of the Presidents position
was voiced by only a few Senators
during the debate. Senators Lodge
and Dillingham;. leading the fight to
override the President, declared the
measure contained so many import
ant provisions for the exclusion Of
criminal. diseased and insane aliens
that great harm would result to the
United States If it did not become law.

No Early Liquor EeiccuOnS.

Columbia, Feb. 1S.-The Clifton
bill, which provided for early elections
in such counties as wanted to take
try at the dispensary question, failed
in the House. Mr.. MiXson had a sim
liar bill, but the outlook was that the
Senate bill might have been able to
pass, but today it failed by a vote
of 81 to 40, the evident purpose be-
ing to let the liquor question alone
just as long as it will stay let alone.
There will no doubt be many coun-
ties that will hold elections in the
month OF August, but the desire in
some counties was to have these cleo
tiOns earlier. Che effort failed.

THE BALKAN SITUATION.
ROUMANIAN-BULG SITUA-
TION Is STILL ACUTE.
Powers Have Taken Steps to Reduce
Friction Between States and Have
Offered to Mediate.

London, Feb. 18.-Tension between
Roumania and Bulgaria over the Bal
kan situation has become acute. The
European powers, however, have
taken steps both at Sofia and Ruch-
Arrest to lessen the friction and an
offer of mediation between the dispu-
tants is pending.
Roumania's latest proposal is that
Bulgaria should cede to her the Black
sea coast as far as Cape Kaliakra
as we'll as the town of Baltchik and
IN this case Roumania would forego
her demand for the Bulgarian town
of Silistria which the Bulgarians re-
solutely refuse to give up.
Bulgaria objects to the scheme be-
cause she declares the fertilization on
Cape Kiiakra would menace the
Bulgarian port Of Varna.
The feeling of diplomats today is
more hopeful in regard to the Austo-
Russian difficulties The latest Rus
sian proposal, it is understood, does
not insist that the Turkish fortress
of Scutari should be handed over
to Montenegro and if Austria Hun
gary is able to secure Scutari for
Albania it is thought that a COM
promise may be effected in regard 70
the other points. The ambassadors
here anticipat they will be able TO
report favorable at their meeting

PANIC ON BOURSE.
Russian Financicrs Fear the Worst
in Balkans

ST. Petersburg, FeG 1S.-The dis
pute between Bulgaria and Roumania
over the secession of a strip Of terri
tory by Bulgaria TO Roumania on the
Black sea coast brought about a panic
on the bourse here today while public
opinion was also greatly excited.
The Russian government, however,
continues optimistic declaring its con-
fdence that the joint action of the
powers resulting possibly in mediation
by Russia and Italy will assure a set
tlement and avert the armed occu-
patton Of Bulgarian territory by Rou-
mania.
Russia, it is believed here, has de-
cided to follow the example Of Ger
many, Austria Hungary and France
by increasing the peace footing of her
army.

exposition was not quite up to expec-
tations For the three weeks the total
attendance was considerably lower
than any previous exposition. The
first two weeks 1t totaled about $4,000,
the third week, which was requested
by local people for the benefit of those
who had not seen tn exposition, was
disappointingly light, and did not pay
the running expenses. However, the
holding over was probably justified by
the value to the appreciative farmers
who attended. But the attendance was
generally more beneficial than the
figures might indicate. because a rela-
lively larger proportion of the visi-
tors were bona fde farmers from
South Carolina and adjoining States.
There were also many farmers in at
tcdance from the North and West,
particularly Indiana and Ohio. The
attendance from Columbia, that might
we'll have been 10000 was less than
$500
The National Corn exposition has
not only resulted i'm inspiration to the
farmers of the South, but it has set
a pace for future eXpositions in or
ganization and general inspiration to
agricultural workers. This has been
possible because of the cooperation Of
the many educational institutions and
