Interference Brings Protest.

Frequent interference with passen-
gers and freight over the road oy Tur-
kish authorities brought sharp pro-
test from Bulgaria. which included a
demand that the strip of Turkish terri
tory which the railway is forced to
cross be coded to Bulgaria.
Turkey refused to do that, but agreed
to yield the right of way including the
railway station in Adrianople. Bull
garia answered that she could not ac-
cept a proposition that left strongly
fortified points within her own border.
The matter was then settled by accept
ing a modus vivendi.

ARREST OF NEAR FRIEND
. Of ACCUSED DIPLOMAT
Possible Development in Alleged
Plot to Assassinate King
of Bulgaria.

That close friend of former Min
lister Ghenadeff of Bulgaria, the dip1o-
mat who is accused of being impli-
Gated in a plot to assassinate the king,
has been apprehended is known here,
although official dispatches which
reached the Bulgarian legation last
evening did not refer to the scandal.
Announcement that a modus vivendi
has been reached between Bulgaria and
Turkey as a result of the formers pro-
test against interference with traffic
over the Dedeagach railroad was for
mally made. -...
Statement by Minister.
The Bulgarian minister, Mr., Panare-
toff, made it plain that the negotiations
had nothing to do with any proposals
from either the quadruple entente or
the Germanic allies concerning Bull
garia's entrance into the war. The ar
rangement between Turkey and Bull
garia now permits direct railway serv-
ice between Sofia and the Bulgarian
port of Dedeagach on trains that DO not
stop at any point in the Turkish terri
tory.

BARBED WIRE PLAYING
A BIG PART IN WAR
Enables Germans to Hold Miles of
Trenches Against a Su-
perior Force.

Correspondence of the Associated Press.
WARSAW, Poland, June 30.-Barb
wire. machine guns and excellent rail-
way arrangements have been the chief
elements in the German operations in
Poland during the past three months.
Owing to overwhelming superiority in
these three respects, the Germans have
been able to hold lines many hundred
miles in length against what was fire.
quently far superior force of Rus
slams, at least where numbers were con-
cerned.
the little rivers Bzura and Rawka,
where the two armies have been fac
ing each other since last autumn,
would in the ordinary manner of speak
ing require nearly eight, army corps.
But the Germans have been able to
maintain their places here with small
fraction of that number, owing to the
fact that their barb-wire defenses and
troop-transit arrangements are so per-
feet.
Four Miles Of Wire.
Along this Bzura-Rawka front of
about forty miles the German barb
wire defenses are literally four miles
in depth, the entanglements being so
arranged that in military sense
they cover the whole territory. Be
hind each group of entanglements. at
thee little strategic ganglions which
are easy to determine from the con-
tour of the land and the lines of pos
sible approach, there are posted little
batteries of machine guns ready to
sweep away any rash offensive. 1t
would cost an attacking force hundreds
of thousands OF men to wade through
these wire entanglements. which zigzag

selves in hedges and walls, all the vital
points being commanded by merci-
less storm of machine-gun fire.
The only possible way of penetrating
such maze would be by destroying 1t
with a persistent storm of shells, and
even this would require several days,
giving the defenders time to bring up
reinforcements over their admlrable
strategic railways. In the meanwhile,
also, more wire would be laid down
farther back.
Quiet Mans Big Job.
Gen.. Alexeiff, who has been appoint
ed to the command of the northern
Russian armies in place of Gen. Russ
ky (retired on account of i'll health,
g a quiet, unobtrusive man of nearly
sixty years. He has very intellectual
face and an almost shy manner, but
military men say his brain is the Keen
est in the Russian field army.
His staff consists of seventy-f1ve Of
f1cers, and their headquarters is in a
little Polish city as quiet and unob-
trusive as the commander. There are
fewer than fifty soldiers in the place
aside from the generals staff, and the
town is less military in appearance
than any in western Russia. In front
of the generals quarters there are two
sentries, and small Russian flag
hangs over the door. In trenches miles
away, stretching through forests and
along hilltops, numberless regiments
and brigades await orders from this
building to launch themselves against
the enemy. The army which Gen. Alex
cleft commands is more than twice the
size Of that under the command of
Field Marshal Sir John French.

At the meeting Monday the coun.
ell voted TO reduce the rates OF resi-
dcnce lighting TO 5is cents kilo-
watt hour for amounts less than IS
kilowatt hours n month. and ? cents
for quantities In excess OF that
amount.
This makes the third reduction In
four years. the rates coming down
more than 81 per cent since Dick
Arms. a Seattle Electric Go. man.
was fired as superintendent OF the
city light plant In March. 1911.
II is estimated the city plant has
saved 81 .0O0. 900 q year by these re.
ductionA, for not only city users, but
=. +. Co. customers also. profited by
the lower rates.
II Is practically certain that the
s. +. Co. will again follow the lead
OF the city light plant and reduce its
rates also to 5ik cents a kilowatt
hour.
The ordinance passed by the
council yesterday received the votes
OF Cooley. Erickson. Hesketh and
Marble.
The ordinance. as passed. also re.
duced the rate on electricity for
cooking purposes from cents TO 2
cents.
In addition 10 the bill passed Mon.

ness lighting and also for power.
