London. Constantinople reports
the probability of a fortnight's armis
tice being signed by the peace pleni
potentiaries who are negotiating for
a cessation of hostilities between the
Turks and the Balkan allies. From
the Bulgarian side there has been no
news concerning the peace negotia
tions except the vague statement that
they are making satisfactory pro
gress.
Nothing has transpired as to wheth
er the proposed armlßtice will accept
the whole field of war operations or
only the Tchatal/a lines. The news
received of the surrender of two en
tire divisions of Turkish reserves to
the Bulgarians In the neighborhood
of Demottca, a short distance south
of Adrlanople, after severe fighting
shows there still are large isolated
bodies of Turkish troops unaccounted
for which must be considered in ar
ranging an armistice. The armies are
said to have large numbers of men
who are proceeding In Greek trans
ports from the Gulf of Salonikl cither
for Gallpoll Peninsula, which separ
ates the Dardanelles from the Aegean
Sea,, or to Join the allied army at
Tehatalja.
No news has been received confirm
ing these reports an yet and the dis
posal of the men they carry, In event
an armistice is arranged, would prob
ably prevent some difficulty.
Although it is not yfet safe to as
sume that an armistice Is in sight
the fact that the negotiations con
tinue at Bagtche and that apparently
no definite time limit has been fixed
as to the duration of the existing sus
pension of hostilities tends toward
the belief that a peaceful solution of
the trouble is approaehing. ,

PENSIONS FOR
EX-PRESIDENTS
Carnegie Offers to Provide
$25,000 a Year for Them
$125,000,000 IS SET ASIDE
Taft Will Be First Eligible—A Trust

Refuses Comment,
New York.—Andrew Carnegie an
nounced that be had determined to
give pensions of $26,000 a year, as
long as they are not provided by the
nation, to all future ex-Presidents of
the United States, and to their wid
ows as long as they remain unmar
ried. Thlß will be given to them
through the Carnegie Corporation of
New York, which was founded last
year, and already has had transferred
to it $126,000,000 of securities with the
idea of perpetuating the ironmaster's,
work after he is dead.
No application will be required from
future ex-Presidents or their widows.
The announcement of these pen
sions was made at Mr. Carnegie's
house, 1',093 Fifth avenue, at the close
of the second annual meeting of the
Trustees of the Carnegie Corporation
of New York. The official statement
of the benefaction was:
"Provision has been made through
this corporation for a pension for each
future ex-President and his widow un
married of $26,000 per year, as long
aa these remain unprovided for by the
Nation, that they may be able to spend
the latter part of their lives devoting
their unique knowledge gained of pub
lic affairs to the public good free from
pecuniary cares.
"These pensions will be promptly
offered to the ex-Presidents or their
widows, so that no application will be
required from them."
The terms of tha gift seem to ex
clude from participation the only liv
ing ex-President, Col. Theodore Roose
velt. President Taft, when he retires
from office next March, will be the
first beneficiary, if he accepts Mr. Car
negie's offer.

Indications were that the Carnegie
plan would be severely criticised by
members of Congress and officials in
Washington. While no one pretended
to be able to express President Tuft's
views. It was the belief of some of his
friends that the President would give
this matter very serious consideration
before committing himself to it

ENGINEERS GET
RAISE IN WAGES
Board of Arbitration Settles Dis
putes on 52 Railroads
NEITHER SIDE IS PLEASED
New Move for Higher Freight* Likely
to Follow—Federal Wage Board la
Recommended to Settle Future
Oieputea—9o,ooo Benefited.
Washington.—The 80,000 locomotive
engineers of the Eastern railroads
have won their fight for an Increase
in wages. The Board of Arbitration
between the railroads and the engi
neers in its award does not grant all
of the engineers' demands, but estab
lishes minimum wages which amount
to a substantial increase on most of
the roads.
Notwithstanding the Increase In
compensation, the representative of
the engineers on the board dissents
from the award, and says the settle
ment accepted by it can be only tem
porary.
The award is retroactive, running
for only one year from May 1, 1912.
This means that within five months
the railroads of the East probably will
be confronted by further demands
from -the engineers, and again may
have to meet the possibility of a
strike.
The award by the Board of Arbi
tration probably brings the fifty-two
railroads of the East also face to face
with demands for increased wages by
the firemen and other employes.
The railroads estimated that the de
mands on the part of the engineers if
granted would entail an additional ex
penditure of $7,172,000 a year. If the
same percentage of increase were
granted to other employes the addi
tional expense would amount in all to
167,000,000.
The Board of Arbitration expresses
the opinion that this total Is too high,
but it does not attempt to give exact
figures as to the additional burden
that the award may Impose upon the
railroads of the East
The findings of the arbitration board
are regarded here aa practically In
suring a renewed attempt on tbe part
of tbe railroads to raise freight rates.
P. H. "faorrlssey, the representative
of tbe organised engineers on the
Board of Arbitration, expresses bitter
opposition to this compulsory arbitra
tion plan, and the indlcatioas are that
it will raise a mighty protest from the
labor world. Mr. Morriasey la the
only member of the Board of Arbitra
tion who does not sign the award.
But mote striking than the actual
award by tbe board is a recommenda-
tion which makes for tbe solution of
all labor dlaputea on railroads of tbe
United tSates. This recommendation
contemplates the establishment by
law of State and Federal wage com
missions.
