bania in these days-governme is

patton. The people have little to say
as regards their own affairs and have
been almost completely disarmed. In

exists the old Turkish code having
been partially replaced.
For this administration lower
courts have been CSta bliShed, methods

milton of the Albanians and delega-
ton of authority to them has caused
great satisfaction. They are beginning
TO understand that under the mild

are treated simply as Albanians. with
out regard to religious differences.
NO Ubiquitous distinction i'll law is
now made between Orthodox. as the
people of the Greek church are
called, and Mohammedan. In this
respect the italian wisely differs from
the Greek, who, perhaps naturally
enough, sees little good in the Mos
lem.
The AlbanianS are regarded as the
most ancient race of southeastern
Europe. There is no record of their
arrival in the. Balkan peninsula, no
legend relating to their origin. They
are thought to be descendants of the
earliest Aryan immigrants, and with
praisewort1y persistence have retain
ed their mountain StronghOldS
through many ages. #.r
Except for B1yons casual tribute
in 'Childe Harold, the Albanians, I'M
like other peoples of he Balkans,
have not been praised in song or
story. Indeed, they appear to have
received but little attention from the
world, except to be characterized as
Il turbulent race of mountaineerS,

The Public Utilities Commission rem
dered a decision Wednesday authorizing
the Lewiston, Augusta 4 Waterville
Street Railway to issue to each holder Of
the bonds of the Lewiston, Brunswick &
Bath Street Railway. Who agrees that the
payment Of the principal thereof may he
deferred until March /, 1918. four coupons
at the rate of 6 per cent. per annum, the
last Of which coupons shall become due
March 1. 1890. The decision says in part:
Mortgage bonds issued b" the Lewis
ton, Brunswick & Bath Street Railway.
due March /, 1918. Of the aggregate face
value of $Si5, 900 now are an obligation Of
the Lewiston, Augusta & Watervilie
Street Railway. which has acquired, as a
part of its railroad system. the railroad
formerly owned and operated by the
Lewiston. Brunswick & Bath Street Rail-
way, subject to the mortgage by which
the bonds are secured.
The petitioner has a first and refund
ing mortgage which secures an issue Of
five per cent. bonds. due April /, 1887. 1t

cannot he sold under prevailing condi
tons except on terms which would i'm
pose upon the corporation an unreason-
able interest and amortization burden
during their life, and it Is proposed to
secure ar agreement with their holders
for deferred payment, without any de-
fault, until March ], 1900, on payment of
a present bonus of $50 per $1,000 bond and
the payment of interest on the bonds at
the rate of six per cent. per annum dur
ing the extended term. payable semi
annually.
THE latter provision is equivalent to
mourning an obligation for the payment
of money more than 10 months from The
date thereof, and is submitted for our ap-
prevail. The existence Of the bonds and
the necessity of providing for their pay
nent or extension is apparent from our
records, and the objections 70 mourning
longtime obligations under present con-
ditions are apparent
