Nearly Completed, Whereby

Negotiations which have been under
way for the past week between Mayor
Rushlight and the representatives of
the .American Express company are
expected to culminate tomorrow in a
contract whereby the eompany'will es
tablish from 100 to 160 pay stations
throughout the city for the water de
partment. A map drawn by the engi
neer of the water department at the re
quest of the mayor shows the locations
of these proposed substations to be
such that housewives will not be
obliged to go more than two or three
btockr W any section ' of the city In
order to pay the monthly water bills.
Heretofore the great majority or
water bills had to be paid at th main
water office on the west side or at the
three branch office of the water depart
ment on the east side. The convenience
of the new arrangement to the thousands
of small consumers - is . patent. The
deal with the big express company will
not affect large consumers' who pay by
checks sent in the malls. These may
be sent to tha main office or tha east
side branches as In the past
Tha company already has about 80

Constantinople, Nov. 19.-The" first
bresk in the short but terrlflo war by
which tha Balkan states have broken
the power of Turkey-in-Europe, came to
day when tha Bulgariana besieging Con
stantinople's defenses - at Tchatalja
agreed to an eight hours' armistice to
bury the dead. Tha. slaughter -during
the Bui gar attack on the Tchatalja de.
fenses during the last few days haa
been awful. Corpses lie thick within ant
without tha lines from the Black sea
to the sea of Marmora, and a cessation
of hostilities was seen 'to be absolutely
necessary unless . both the contending
armies were to be swept by a pestlleoca
before which the carnage of bullet and
bayonet would fade Into Insignificance.
- In deference to the wlshea of army of
ficers snd physicians, : the Jheik-ul-Is-lam
haa sanctioned the burning o
corpses of tha cholera victims. This 1
most unusual as cremation la under th
ban of the Mohammedan religion.
No estimate haa yet been made pubUe
of the number who hava fallen In
the continuous fighting along 'th
Tchatalaja lines, but there is no doubt
that from 30,000 to 40,000 men arc
dead and wounded on both sides, an!
