RUMORS OF DISSENSION AMONG
ALLIES.
(By Associated PrcSS.)

London, Dec. 31.-An ultimatum has
been prepared by the Balkan allies for
presentation to the Turkish delegation in
the peace conference regarding the terms
of settlement of the near east conflict:
but the terms have not been divulged
The allies are endeavoring to induce the
great powers to bring pressure on Tur
key to accede to their terms, but the
powers think the terms excessive and
suggest reductions.
The most important question now is
whether the allies will hold together. as
there are rumOrs of jealousy, particular
ly towards Bulgaria, the most powerful
of the Balkan states.
Others accuse Bulgaria of being re-
spOnsble for the present conditions and
cay the armies might have reached Con
stantinople weeks ago but for the ac-
ton of the Bulgarians in dispatching a
large force to Saloniki to prevent undis-
puted Greek occupation.
The Bulgarians deny separate dealings
with Turkey.

FRISCO PREPARES FOR
PARCELS POST BUSINESS
GUY ADAMS, MANAGER OF MAIL
TRAFFIC ON FRISCOS 1000
MILES, IS HERE ARRANGING TO
HANDLE PACKAGE NAIL.
WILL REQUIRE TEN ADDITIONAL
MAIL CARS-NO EXTRA PAY FOR
RAILROADS UNTIL ANOTHER
MAIL WEIGHING YEAR.

Guy Adams of St Louis and Chicago
manager of mail traffic for the entire
1000 miles of the Frisco system. is Wis
itOr in Brownsville He is ACCOMPANIED
by Mrs. Adams and their young daugh-
ter, and also by T. NJ Mcclure Of Hous-
ton, chief clerk of the general passenger
department of the Frisco. who is show
ing the visitors points of interest Oh the
Brownsville line, this being their first
trip to this section.
One of the principal purposes Of Mr..
Adams tour of the Frisco lines at this
time is to arrange for the handling of
| the governments parcels post business,
which goes into effect today. The Frisco
will have to increase its mail car service
by at least ten cars, according to Mr.
Adams. These will be all-Steel and will
cost probably $4,000 each.
Speaking of the increase of the scope
Of the governments mail service by the
adoption Of the parcels post system, all
of which will have to be handled by the
railroads, Mr.. Adams said:
"One of the things we feel is wrong
lies in the fact that congress appropriate
ed approximately $750,0OO for handling
the mails out of the pOstOffices by local
delivery and other additions, and made
no appropriation whatever for paying
the railroads for handling the in
creased business. This is hardly
square deal, for, if the railroads have
to handle this geatly increased business.
they certainly should be paid for it. The
government experts have figured that the
postal business the first year of the par
cells post will increase at least by $54,
100000"
Once in every four years the railroads
weight the mail traffic, and the govern
ment pays them the succeeding four
four years on basis Of the weight of
mail handled the first year. The last
weight was made in 1910, and the con
tracts as made at that time hold good
up to and including the year 1914. There
fore, as the matter stands, the railroads,
according to Mr. Adams, will be paid no
more, Notwithstanding that they are to
handle greatly increased business, and
will have to invest in additional rolling
stock The parcels post bill was passed
a year and half after the last weight Of
mail. Mr. Adams believes. however,
that the mater will be worked out salts
factorily.
Mr.. Adams is greatly pleased with
what he has seen of the Lower Rio
Grande Valley. He said yesterday this
is surely wonderful country. Though
he has never been here before, he has
read much of the valley and has also
talked with the many Chicago and st.
Louis railroad men who are familiar
with this section. He particularly re
ferred to the remarkable growth of the
town of San BenitO.
Mr. and Mrs Adams, little Miss Adams
and Mr.. Mcclure visited MatamOrOs
yesterday with General Agent c. l..
Macmanus. They also had the pleasure
of attending the Union ball in the Heroic
City last night.
