Cabinet to-day discussed the peace
negotiations and forwarded fresh in
structoins by wire TO the delegates

tiers that Turkey is about to invoke the
good offices OF the powers to promote
an agreement
Military feeling constitutes strongly
in favor OF reopening hostilities rather
than surrender Adrianopie. Reinforce
ments arrive almost daily from Syria
and kurdistan. Several important or
ders for guns and war stores have
been placed abroad.
The military party fsvors remaining
on the defensive in the winter and
assuming the offensive in the spring
While this military spirit undoubtedly
endangers the stability Of the Cabinet

Can the City Buy
Fire Station Site?

After all the fuss, discussion and
general all-rouna talk made by the
people favoring thetw proposed site,
for the new central fire station anf
the time consumed in discussing tn,
situation in committee meetings, meet
ngs of the city government and tn.
general meeting Of Monday of thi,
week, it was supposed that the site
had been selected and could now be
purchased.
There is no doubt but that the city
government has selected the site. the
Iltcomb property on the corner OF
Bridge and Pleasant streets, and it
may be that the property can be pur-
chased without further consideration
OF the city government. But the or
der introduced by Alderman Beck at
the meeting, Monday last, did not au-
thorize anyone to purchase or provide
any means for paying for the prop
erty.
His order was to the effect that the
Titcomb property be purchased at u
price not to exceed $500 as the site
for the new central fire station. There
is no doubt but that the order was
hurriedly drawn and that it was Mr..
Beck's intention to provide means for
paying for the property and to au-
thorize someone to purchase it, but
under Il strict reading of the order
the city government only voted that
the property be purchased for the site
of the new central fire station.
~ ON the other hand Alderman
Holmes order for the purchase of the
Rlnes Hill site, so called, authorized
the mayor and city treasurer to pur-
chase the two lots of land as sites for
the station. 1t is very probable that
none of the members of the city gov
ernment who voted to buy the Tit
cpmb property will pack down from
fhat and it was very evident that it
was their intentions when voting on
the order that the city buy the lot.
But according to the order passed the
City cannot buy it.
Very likely, if Mayor Moves and the
city treasurer should purchase the lot.
the city government would ratify the
transaction, bat these officials could
not do that acting under Alderman
Becks order. No doubt some way will
be found so that all the trouble of the
past few weeks will not be in vain
and 1t is very probable that~the Tit
comb property will be purchased,
either hy the city officials or the off,
GERS of a central fire district, so that
in due time there VIII be new fire
station located on the corner of Bridge
and Pleasant streets. but for the pres
ent the matter seems to be nearly as
much in the air as it was after any
one OF the meetings where the two
branches of the city government were
unable to agree upon a site.
