Working Unitedy Secure Peaceful Settlement Between Austria and Servia-Bulgarian Aviators Reported to Have Set Fire to Adranope by Dropping Bomb From Aeroplane- Have Army of 100000 Fresh Men.

London, Nov 27.-The tension in the Balkan crisis is sensibly relieved by the news that the peace plenipoten- tiaries are continuing their negotia- tions and that Great Britain and Ger many are working actively to secure a peaceful settlement between Austria and Servia.
 According to one Constantinople re- port, the difficulties in the way of ar ranging a formal armistice are so great that the negotiations are taking the form of seeking basis for peace.
 BuIgarians Closing on TchataIja.
 The danger of the reopening of hos tilities, however is still serious. Ap- parenItly only an informal armistice of 46 hours has been agreed upon, and 1t Is reported that the Bulgarian forces are already moving closer to the Tchatalja lines and are entrenching themselves in readiness to renew the attack.
 Turkish Army of Fresh Troops.
 The Turks have an army of more than 100000, and soon will have 1S0,- 900, for the most part fresh picked troops. behind the lines, and 1t is cer- tain, according to all the correspond ents, that they will give a good ac- count of themselves If the fighting is resumed.
 Under these circumstances, with Adrianople and Scutar still holding out, Turkey is little likely to show a yielding attitude in the peace negotia tions.

 OF LONDON POLICE
Man Who Had Grudge Because Re-
 fused a Taxicab License.

London, Nov. 27.-Sir Edward Rich ard Henry, chief commissioner of the London metropolitan police, was shot and seriously wounded tonight by man who had an alleged grievance against him. Sir Edward was alight- ing from a motor car at his residence in Kensington, on his return from Scotland Yard, when the man rushed from the opposite side of the street, and shot at him thrice with a revol- yer.
 One bullet entered the left groin, inflicting a dangerous wound; the oth- CTS missed their mark. The commls- sioner's chauffeur, who is an expo Iiceman. grappled with the assailant, and overpowered him.
 It turned out that the man, whose name is Bowes, had a month ago ap- piled at Scotland Yard for a taxicao license, which was refused. Subse- ouently he wrote to the commission CT. pleading for a reconsideration. but without avail For this reason he nursed a grudge against Sir Edward and lay in wait for him.
 The commissioner has retained con sciousness, but is suffering great pain. The attending physicians pronounced the wound serious, but they hope for Sir Edwards recovery.

self was brought to Albany from Sing Sing to hear the arguments.
 After the court had adjourned for the term Judge O'Brien, one of the three judges who had dissented from the affirmance of the judgment of con- viction, granted the stay. The case eventually wa staken to the United States supreme court which dismissed the appeal for want of jurisdiction. Life Imprisonment Worse Than Death.
 The communication of Patricks sen tence on December 20, 1906, by Gov ernor Higgins did not end the legal fight. Patrick contended that the sen- tence of death had been commuted against his wishes and contrary to law and that he was being illegally de- tained in prison.
 "The punishment of life imprison- ment," he asserted, is greater and more horrible to endure than the death pen alty prescribed by law for murder in the first degree"
