Warm Fight Expected in Senate on
Question of State or Federal Con-
troll.

Washington, Feb. 5.-Confiicting
claims Of the federal and State gov
ernments to the control over water
powers marked the opening Of the
debate in the senate over the Con-
necticut river dam bill through which
is proposed to establish the princi-
pie of federal control of water power.
An agreement was made for a vote
on the bill on the legislative day Of
February IL, but it is expected it will
be several days later than that when
the vote is taken. Senator Burton Of
Ohio, leader of the faction in the sem
ate which favors control by the gov
ernment over the rates and charge Of
water powers, defended the measure
today and will resume his speech to-
morrow morning.
The time will come when there will
have to be national supervision over
these water power rates, just as there
is over railroad rates" Senator Bur-
ton said. 1T will be necessary to re-
gard water as we'll as land as an as
set Of the nation which must be so
controlled as to promote the general
welfare and as far as possible offer
equal opportunities"
Objections to the alleged invasion
Of state rights were made by several
senators in the debate. Senator Works
of California insisted that States alone
should have the right to supervise and
fix water power rates.

NO ATTACK ON ADRIANOPLE.
Hours Cannonading Monday Only
Warlike Demonstration Since Re-
sumption of the War.

ConstantinOple, Feb. 5.--Apart from
an hours cannonading by the Bull
garians Monday evening at the expira-
ton Of the armistice, to which the
Turks did not respond, no further ag-
gressive acts of war are reported at
the Tchatalja fortifications. On the
other hand the retreat Of the Bull
garian right wing and the burning of
the town Of Tchatalja are confirmed
from various sources.
The object of the retirement of the
Bulgarians apparently is to occupy
lines further TO the north and west,
in order to defeat any flanking move
ment which the superior Turkish
mobility, thanks to their command of
the Black sea, might permit. The
Bulgarians are reported to have de-
strOyed the bridges and culverts as
they retreated and otherwise have
made them unserviceable.
According to official information
fighting has occurred at Kavalca, the
engagement lasting three hours.
Reports have been current for some
time that the Turkish government
purposes selling some Of the crown
jewels in order TO supplement public
subscription in aid of the imperial
treasury. These reports have ac-
quired some substantiation, owing 10
the presence in Constantinople of a
representative of prominent French
jewellers.

BULGARS MAKE FLANK MOVE.
BEHIND FORTS TO TCHATAL-
ia LINES.
III mvadOrS Capture Defenses of
Straits, COnstantinOple Will be at
Mercy of Hellenic Men-of-war-
More Talk of Peace.

London, Feb. 5.-The Bulgarians
are devoting their chief attention to
the bOmbardment of AdrianopIe and
an attempt to capture the Gallipoli
peninsula and SO take the Turkish
forts in the rear.
An official dispatch issued at Con-
stantinople indicates that the Bull
garians have been successful in their
first operations in the latter quarter
and, according to a Sofia dispatch, the
capture Of Gallipolis is the chief OBJ
]ect of the Bulgarians' ambition for
the time being, and no serious at
tempt will be made to force the
Tchatalja lines
The same dispatch says that the
Bulgarian attack on Gallipolis is SUD-
ported by the Greek navy in the Gulf
of Saros
III the Bulgarians capture the Turk
ish forts there is nothing to prevent
the Greek fleet from entering the
Dardanelles, where, in the opinion
of naval officers, it could easily de-
feat the inferior Turkish fleet, in
which case Constantinople would be
at the mercy Of the allies
The Constantinople correspondent
of The Standard sends strange story
reporting that the remnant of the
Turkish army Of Monastir, which
never has been precisely accounted
for, still is operating in that district
and has captured the important town
of Koritza, less than so miles from
Monastir.
The statement attributed to the
Greek premier, NJ. Venezelos, that
peace will speedily be concluded.
tends to confirm the report current
in European capitals in recent DAYS
to the same effect, although there has
been no evidence in the shape of
fresh diplomatic movements to sup
port it. The Turkish government
however, evidently is in dire straits
for money, even attempting to dispose
of the crown jewels and making de-
spairing attempts to place treasury
bonds in Turkey, Egypt and among
the Moslems in India
The Ottoman consul at Bombay
claims to have applications for bonds
amounting to $5,000,00O.
1t is announced that the ambas-
sador's conference at London has ar
rived at an agreement on the formula
settling the plan under which the al
lies will take over a portion of the
ottoman public debt and settling also
the allies liability with regard to the
Ottoman railways.

UNION NEWS
Practical Thoughts for Practical
Farmers.
Conducted by Il. w. Dabbs. Pres
ident S. c. Farmers Union.)
Some Random Thoughts.

The meetings in Columbia last
week were SO numerous that / could
not keep up with them: The only ones
l was able to attend were the Plant
Breeders Association, the National
Farmers Union meeting and the
Farmers Union conference at lie
Conte college. Some accounts Of each
one were in the daily papers.
One of the most interesting meet
ings that I offended was a hearing Of
the senate committee on corporations
on a bill to allow corporations pro-
posing TO boost the price of cotton
TO organize without complying with
the present law that requires all such
investment companies to go before
the insurance commissioner and Sc
cure his approval before Offering their
stock for sale.
My good friend Col Alfred Aldrich
of Barnwell was earnestly asking for
the passage of this bill in the interest
of Col. Geo. Dole Wadley's Southern
Cotton Corporation. 1 was called on
by someone on the committee who
knew something of my investigations
of similar schemes last spring and
summer. My experiences then led me
to ask the committee TO still further
safeguard the people against wild cat
concerns. While my friend Col. AL
drich took the position that I was
right in protecting the uninformed, but
this plan would not appeal to the or
dlnary farmer but to the gambling
spirit in men and would only enlist
those who have the money to spare
and if they lost, it is nobodys busi-
ness. Mr.. Chairman. all we ask is
a gamblers chance to put up the price
of cotton. If we fail it is our loss. and
we can stand it, nobody else will be
hurt"
Knowing that the failure of the
Mississippi Warehouse COMPANY
which is now in the hands of the
courts is hurting the cause of organ

this doctrine of my friend from Barn

broken company appealed to me for
information about their chances of Sc
curing some return, but could not
give them any Regretting most sim
cerely this failure, said to be due to
the manager getting drunk and specu-
latlng in cotton on one side and by
others to a fight on it because it was
breaking up the interests" 1 could
not help feeling glad that had re-
fused to sanction it last summer un-
til Mr.. McMasters investigations
showed it to be solvent. They refus-
ed to allow him to investigate and of
course we could not indorse.
How anyone can advise going into

generalities for its prospects after the
results to the one that tried to Sc
