and all the members present, the first
meeting of the committee on public af-
fairs Of the Pensacola Commercial As
sociation was held last night in the
directors room of the association
headquarters, in the Brent building.

discussed were the biological station

ment, the pilotage bill now before the
senate, one cent letter postage and
Panama canal tolls. After discussion,
each was referred to the head of the
department. which it comes under.
AS a result of the organization of
the committee the members will head
the several departments as follows:
J. E. D. Yonge, health and recrea-
ton; Fl. G. DeSilva, public works; ].
G. Watson, finance and statistics; NJ.

the institution.
To the end Of securing it for Pen
sacola, the committee took the matter
UP yesterday and will urge upon those
having the matter in hand the advan-
tages of this city as a location for
such a station.
In line with the recent resolution of
Frank L. Mayes. adopted by the asso-
citation at its annual meeting, it was
decided to oppose any pilotage bill now
OF hereafter which would seek to place
pilotage under federal control to the
detriment Of this port
One-cent letter postage is favored by
the members of the committee and
they will probably ask to be on record
as favoring it.
Discussion of the proposed differef-
tial tolls for American coastwise ships
using the Panama canal was also en-
tered into.
The committee will enter actively
into all questions of civic, state, ma
tional and international Importance to
the body polite and will add it's voice
to others upon the side which it favors.

Washington, Jan. 24.--That the pro
gressive policies of Woodrow Wilson
VIII receive strong support in the next
congress now seems assured. Twenty
eight progressive democrats ma
jorfty-have bound themselves in a
hard-and- agreement to work for
progressive legislation and to stand be-

progressive republicans have signified
a willingness to work with the pro-
gressive democrats.
The first step that viii be taken by
the progressive democrats in their
campaign will be an attempt to abolish
the rule Of seniority in the appoint

be made to place in control of every

with the Wilson policies.

progressive democrats expect to be

London, Jan. 24.-Developments in

tion of Nazim Pasfa, the Turkish
commander-in- chief of the army and
the prospective rebellion of the young
Turks against the acceptance of the
Balkan peace terms. are not expected

days. AS far as may be judged now
there is no intention on the part OF the
Turkish government being formed as
result OF the resignation of the min

hostilities If any reasonable compro-
mise with the Balkan allies is possi-

The new council Of ministers, as far
as formed, sat today to discuss the re-

the retention Of Adrfanopie and point

The post Of foreign minister and

gates believe a resumption of war is
certain.
italian, British and other warships
have been ordered to proceed imme-

THINKS WAR WILL START.
The confirmation of the news of the
complete repulsion of feeling in Con-
stantinople against the proposed sur
render to the allies has created the I'm
preston among the peacek delegates
that war will begin again almost i'm
mediately.
There are however. two currents of
opinion among the representatives of
the Balkan league. One is in favor OF
asking Sir Edway Grey as honorary
president OF the peace conference i'm
mediately to convoke a settlement Of
the delegates at which the resumption
Of hostilities win be declared. The
other urges that the powers should
first be allowed to deal with Turkey.
The European governments are al
ready in communication with regard to
the situation. The view here is that
the reply Of Turkey to the note of the
powers must be awaited before any
drastic movement can be inaugurated
Lack of confirmation as to the real
meaning and scope of the movement
In Constantinople precludes in the off,
cial view, anything in the nature oi

busy all day obtaining the views of the
