According to authentic reports from

esied that some names which have been
banded about freely will he missing from

significance attaches. that in the talks
about the cabinet the secretaryship of

Candidates Enemies Active.

The same reports go on to narratc that
Gov Wilson is getting little irritated
over the persistency Of the laudation of
some aSpirants for cabinet hOnOrs by their
ovcrZealOuS friends. Another feature of
the early booming of candidates has been
to bring out their enemies, who have put
in a few Iicks on the other side Of the
proposition.
II Is said that in point of fact Gov.
Wilson at tho moment is more intent
upon measures than he is concerned with
men, From ono highly creditable source
comes the statement that he will probably
not settle down to the actual selection
of his cabinet until the middle of Feb
rUary.
AS part of the same statement is the
intimation that many would-be cabinet
makers are visiting the President-elect
upon their own initiative. and that the
men whose Judgment he Will solicit in
the final makeup have not yet made up
their own minds as to choice.
Interested in Legislative Program.
Elaborating the suggestion that he is
paying more attention to legislative and
administrative measures than to cabi-
net selections. the reports agree that he
is intensely Interested in the legislative
program for the extra. session, and is
keeping in constant communication with
House and Senate leaders. 1t Is said to
be quite evident that the@attention OF
Congress will not be Ne0nfined to tariff
legislation. The House committee ON, in
teratate commerce has an elaborate series
Of hearings on interstate commerce and
railway bills for the next four weeks, ap-
parently with a view to collecting data
upon which to act at the extra session.
The PujO money trust" committee will
bring in a report before March 4. sug
gesting legislation for the regulation of
the New York Stock Exchange and the
Gearing house system for national banks
In large cities. together with restrictions
upon the lending of money by national
banks to their officers and directors. Eff
forts will be made to put this legislation
through at the extra session.
Not Through Talking Yet.
And here is another very interesting
feature of the authentic reports from
Trenton and Princeton. namely, that
financial circles which affected to get vio-
lently alarmed over his recent speeches
may expect some more talk of the same
kind and plenty of it. He has not had
his say by a long shot.
Coming to personalities. the reports
continue to verify the statement made in
The Star early this month that William
+. McCOmbs may be the Secretary of the
Treasury. 1t is put this way: that he
can have anything he wants except the
secretaryship of State-and there comes
in again that suggestion Of the segrega-
tion of that appointment: that Mr.. Nc
Combs would not want anything but the
Treasury portfolio and is not very keen
about that. but that he may be persuaded
by his friends to take it.

LONDON, January 1S-Turkey's deci-

Turkish Squadron Routed
BY Grecian War Vessels

ATHENS. Greece, January 1S.-Another
sea fight between the Greek and the Turk
ish fleets occurred today about thirty
miles to the south of the entrance to the
Dardanelles.
The Greek war vessels attacked the
Turkish squadron and forced the Otto
man warships to return to the Darda-
nelles straits in disorder. The Turkish
flagship is said to have suffered con-
siderably.
The engagement lasted three hours.
Only one Greek was wounded, while the
Greek warships were not damaged, ac-
cOriing to a long dispatch sent by Ad-
miral COuntouriOtis to the government.
The admiral reports that the Turkish
feet consisted of the battleships Kheyr-
ed-Din- BarbarOssa. Torgut Refs. Mes
sudieh and Assar-I-Tewfik. the cruiser
Hamidieh and thirteen destroyers and
torpedo boats. The Greek fleet included
the battleships AverOff. Hydra. Spetsai
and Psara and eight gunbOats and de-
strOyers.
Both Sides Fight Hard.
The following description of the engage
ment was sent by the governor of Tene-
dos:
''The naval fight began at 11:2o o'clock
in the morning. Both sides fought des-
perately. The Turks at 1850 began slow
ly to retreat. At ITO the Turkish battle
ships were fleeing in disorder toward the
straits, firing at long intervals against
the AverUn. which was pursuing at a dis
tance OF 5000 meters and rapidly over
hauling the enemy.

Draft of the Reply.

CONST January 1S.-
The Turkish foreign minister, Nora
dunghian Efendi. tonight submitted to
the council Of ministers a draft of the
reply to the note of the powers. 1t is
understood that it insists upon the re-
tentiOn of AdrianOple for the follow
ing reasons:
First. because the Bulgarian inhabi-
tants are in the minority at Adrian
ople, not only in comparison with the
MOslems. but as compared with other
Christians; second. because of the
splendid defense of the garrison third
the loss of Adrianople. containing the
temples Of the Calipha, would ruin
the prestige of Islam: fourth, the loss
of AdrianOple. which is the gate of
Constantinople, would endanger the
existence of the empire.
THE porte therefore prays." con-
tinues the reply, that the powers take
consideration Of the vital necessities of
the empire and make representations
to the Balkan states with a view to
peace. Turkey sincerely desires to
find a common ground of understand
ing. and will even consent at once to
fresh sacrifices"

that the Turkish resources are not in the
