Germans and Austrians
Fire on Each Other Is
Report in PetrOgrad

London. Nov. 23. 1853 A. Mt is
confirmed that serious dissensions have
arisen between the Germans and the
Austrians." says the Morning Posts
Petrograd correspondent.
"a stormy council under the presi-
dency of Emperor William was held at
Breslau after the German fight from
Poland. After mutual recriminations
Germany demanded that Austria send
every available man to the defense of
East Prussia, arguing that there was
no hope of saving the Austrian from
tier from the advancing hosts. The
Austrians, however, demanded that the
Germans make a serious attempt to
save Cracow.
Moreover. this council meeting was
preceded by actual fighting between
Austrian and German soldiers in the
retreat The fighting, it is said, oc-
Cured after a large body of angry
Austrians left the Germans and struck
off on their own line of retreat, where
upon the Germans sent detachments
to bring them back. Both sides fired
shots, the Austrians being overpow-
cred. The German explanation later
was that they exterminated mutinous
troops"

To REDUCE THROUGH
TRAINS ON PENNSY'
At Least Two Between New York
and the West Will Be
Eliminated

With the increase of passenger rates
on all railroads between December l
and Is, will come a reduction in the
number of through trains to and from
the West. Word was received in Har-
risburg to-day that an agreement has
been reached between all trunk lines,
to cut out one or more through trains.
at least one train between New
York and Chicago and another be-
tween New York and St Louis may be
eliminated. The reason given for the
decrease is further effort to curtail
expenses. The largest decrease in SER
vice will be west of Chicago.
Local officials have received no def
mite information as to what trains will
be cut. Passenger department officials
will meet this week to take up this
question.
