Porte Finally Shows Hand in
Peace Conference. Which
AdjournS with Rela-
tons Strained.
ALLIES PLAN UlTIMATUM
Determined to Waste No More

Porte Hopes for Sop
for Mussulmans.

London, Dec. 3O.-After a fortnight
4 spsrring and feinting Turkey has
-inallv shown her hand in the peace
adherence. Mediation by the great
covers is the Ottoman scheme for
emerging from the war with the best
ace for the nation and for the pleni-
ootentiaries which the situation will
permit.
The Turkish delegates proposed this
solution in diplomatic, guarded terms
At to-day's session. The meeting was
brief and more strained than any
which preceded it, and the Turkish
isctics were characteristics.
The delegation had received fresh in
,tructions from the Porte, Rechad
Pacha announced, but part Of the tele-
gram was undecipherable and must be
repeated 10 Constantinople for trans
alton. Then Rechad Pacha came to
The point 20 which the Ottomans had
oeen leading up since the beginning, IN
the opinion of their opponents. He de-
clared that he was able to state that
most Of the questions under discussion
should be referred To the powers. The
boundary between Bulgaria and Tur-
key was an exception: that was mat
ter, he said. for direct settlement be-
tween the two governments.
The Turkish delegates then attempt
ed 10 discuss the questions at issue in
formally, but the allies insisted that
they should put their propositions in
writing, which, after a conference. the
Turks said they were not prepared
10 do.

mands in concrete. precise and well
defined form.
In Rechad PaCha's vague statement
to-day. DR.. Daneff continued, Adrian
ople was not mentioned What does
that mean" he asked. Does Turkey
wish 10 convey the impression that she
is determined 10 keep Adrianople and
thus omits il from the subjects 10 he
submitted for mediation, or does she
mean this point 10 he settled directly
between herself and Bulgaria? The
latter supposition is impossible. II
Turkey admitted the possibility OF
losing Adrianople she would prefer IN

Or. Daneff did not seem adverse 10

triumph OF the pressure Of public
opinion of the Christian civilized world
over the jealousies. rivairies and greed
of the governments OF the powers
chiefly responsible for the prolonged
state Of servitudc. the cruel waste Of
life and the impoverishment Of the
Balkans during the last century"
The rumors i'm circulation that Tur-
key has concluded loan Of many
millions are absolutely untrue. Tenta-
tive proposals in this direction have
met with the reply that Turkey must
first conclude peace IL she wishes
money.
This recalls All analogous anwcr

United States, TO which Mr.. Morgan re-
piled that he would find no money for
war, but ar much as was desired after
the conclusion Of peace.
DR.. S. Daneff, o-day's president OF
the peace conference, said after the
adjournment:
Wednesday will give us more Definite
Information on one point. We are ne-
termfned that we will not carry on FUR

Adrianople has been concluded definitely.
we are going 10 have Adrianople. Other
wise the negotiations will be broken on.
7 myself am inclined 10 believe That the
Turks will give way.
Constantinople Dec. T.-The amba.sa-
doris of most Of the European powers
have advised the Ottoman government
10 make an effort TO come 10 terms with
the Balkan allies. The Russian Ambas-
sador here in particular coupled his ad-
vice with a warning as 10 tho dangerous
consequences OF delay in view OF the sit
uation In Asia Minor.
This Russian representation has pro-
duced a disagreeable impression in Turk
ish Official circles. while the agitation In
the army in favor OF a resumption OF
hostilities continues. Many ny sheets
have been distributed among the Turkish
officers and men counsellng the continu-
ance of the war and the non-surrender OF
the fortress of AdrianOple.

Former Rector of Philadelphia
Parish Formally UnfroCked
by Bishop RhineIander.
DONE AT HIS OWN REQUEST
Official Notice of Action Fails

Charac ter.
IRy T.Iegraph 70 The TrIbune. ]

Philadelphia. Dec. 30.-The Rev. Dr.
Alfred G.. Mortimer, until last Monday
pastor OF ST. Marks Protestant Episcopal
parish here. has been read out OF the
Church. Notices were sent out to-day by
Bishop Philip NJ. Rhinelander, OF this
diocese. to -very Bishop OF the Episcopal
Church in America. and to every clergy
man OF the PENNSYLVANIA Diocese. nOti-
tying them that DR.. Mortimer has been
unfrocked.
In these letters the customary line say
ing that the deposing is for no reason
affecting the ministers moral character
has been left out. No reason is given
for the unfrocking. but in the Episcopal
Church there are only two legal reasons
for the unfrockng Of a priest-heresy or
something rejecting on the moral charac-
ter OF the person unfrocked.
When letters are sent out notifying
clergymen that minister has been UNI
frocked following his conviction for
heresy the explanation that there is moth
ing against his moral character always is
inserted.
No Explanation by Bishop.
Bishop Rhinelander failed to-day TO give
out his promised statement that would
clear Up the mystery. so far as the gen
eral public was concerned, regarding the
sudden demand for and the receipt OF the
resignation Of Or. Mortimer The Bishop
contented himself with a short statement
In which he said:
CDR. Mortimer was deposed from the
sacred ministry yesterday morning, ne
having made a request in writing 70 that
effect to the Bishop. The deposition was
made by Bishop Rhinelander In the pres
ence of two other priests of the diocese
The Rev. Henry 3. Gorgas and the Rev.
Forest 3. Johnston were the priests IN
attendance before whom the Bishop made
the deposition. Or. Mortimer was not
present and Bishop Rhinelander volun-
teered the information that he had no
knowledge OF his present place OF abode.
II is believed that DR.. Mortimer sent ms
request TO be deposed from the ministry
through Suffragan Bishop Garland VINO
made a hurried trip 10 Jersey CITY last
Saturday and had a conference with the

to renounce her traditional policy Of

she, the allies ask, be considered an
