BALKAN ALLIES TOUCHY
IN MATTERS OF ADVICE
London, Jan. 11? The advice of
the Powers to the belllgerant Bal
kan allies that they get together
and stop quarreling, was not re
ceived with complacency by the
countries Involved in the dispute.
Just at this time wheu they are
wrought up to a high pitch of ex
citement over th? uncertain out
come of peace negotiations, and
when each party to the quarrel
fears the others are trying to slip
something over on him, they easily
grow suspicious of advice of all
kinds, hence the hornet's nest that
has been stirred up over the friend
ly suggestion from the Powers. In
fact the allies Intimated to the big
nations that they keep their fingers
out of things that didn't belong to
them.

SI'LZKK WANTS TO
HKK F??K HIMSELF
Albany, Jan 11 ? Governor Wll
Uam Suiter is In doubt whether
prize fighting it right or wrong.
Some of the newspapers and the
ministers say that it is naughty,
while others say it is as harmless
nnd insipid as playing Durk on a
Rock Mr. Suiter likes first hand
information so he is going down to
old New York town and see a real
boxing match.
During the four or five times
that Mr. Suiter has been elected to
congress from New York, he has
been In the midst of more political
rough and tumble and free for all
fighting than any of them, so it is
believed that the coming contest
will only have the eff?*t of gltlng
him a good case of ennui by the
tamenesa of comparison.
It is said that if Mr. Suiter rec
ommends the abolishment of boxing
matches In New York, it will be be
cause the game Is too slow for a
gentleman of his vigorous and
strenuous habits to believe In
