Bulgaria is now said to be most anx- i"us to have the question settled be. fore the powers enter into the ar rangements and spoil all her plans. The willy Turks recognize fully the change which has come within the past few days in the condition of af- fairs and are seeking to take advan- tage of the circumstances. It is now certain beyond question that Constan- tinople will remain under the govern ment of the Turks but it looks proba. ble that Bulgaria will concede a great deal more than ever now so that peace may come before the big fellows get started.

ROME, Italy. Nov. 25.-Giovannitti one of the men now in Jail in connec- tion with the strike rioting in Massa- chusetts. United States. has been nominated by the socialists of this city for election to the Italian chamber oi deputies. Many people here believe that this movement will have the ef- feet of causing the United States au- thorities to send Giovannitti back to this country. Quite an uproar is be- ing made by the socialists of Rome over the arrest of Ettor and Giovan- nitti and attempts have been made t1 secure the services of the Italian gov ernment to obtain the mems release.
 Whether the government of Italy has taken any steps or not in the mat : ter is not known. but it is most likely that the Italian authorities are no, foolish enough to interfere in a mat ter which concerns the United States alone.
