CONSTANT TINOPLE MAY
SURRENDER TO BULGARIANS
NEGOTIATIONS FOR CAPlTULA-
TION SAID TO BE UNDER WAY

Collapse of the Turkish Empire is
Causing Grave Concern In Diplo-
matte Circles.
Informal negotiations for the sur
render of Constantinople have been al
ready entered upon, according to the
correspondent of the Vienna Reichs-
post, with the Bulgarian army.
He adds that the Bulgarians hope
the fall of the Turkish line OF forts at
Tchatalja will be simultaneous with
the taking of the fortress of Adriano-
pie.
The correspondent adds that the
Turkish troops have been repulsed
from the principal points of the
Tchatalja line. the fall of which Is
expected Immediately. The Turkish
advance posts on the right wing oppo-
lte the fort of Deliyunus have been
captured already by the Bulgarian
troops belonging to the third column,
and these forts form excellent bases
iOr pushing home attacks on the other
lines.
The Greek army, commanded by
Crown Prince Constantine, occupied
Salonika, the Turkish stronghold in
southwestern Turkey in Europe.
The imminent fall of COnstantinople
puts the crisis up to the powers. The
threatened rupture between Tustria-
Hungarl and Servia on the question of
Servian access to the Adriatic sea
and the immensity of numerous other
political quicksands caused by the col
lapse of Turkey are causing grave
concern in diplomatic circles in Paris.
At the moment when an intimate
accord is more desirable than ever be-
fore, it is pointed out that the two
groups of European nations, as the
triple alliance and the triple entente,
which together c:npose the so-called
concert OF Europe, find themselves
badly out of tune and arrayed in hos
tile camps.
With Russia leading, France and
England are inclined to support the
Servian claims on which Austria-Hun-
gary, encouraged by Germany and It.
ally, apparently has placed a direct
veto.
Among other bristling international
difficulties are the compensation that
Roumania will demand as an offset to
the ACKNOWLEDGEMENT of Bulgaria, the
future standing of the Dardanelles,
Constantinople, Salonika and Turkey
in Asia, the fate of the islands in the
Aegean sea, the regime to be intro
duced in Albania and the adjustment
of the conflicting Austrian and Italian
special claims there in such a way
that other powers shall not be preju
diced
Apart from all these visible contro
=. Versies comes the news of the procla
NQation of Russian protectorate over
chinese territory equal in extent to
one-fbird of the whole of Europe.
Russia has taken a step which ID
likely to~cause further uneasiness by
keeping the \time-expired soldiers Of
her army witht regiments during
the winter. which means that hel
army will be on a waF footing till mex
year.
Bulgaria has no intention of remain
ing in Constantinople. The Bulgaria.
troops will, however, go to the Turk
ish capital.

DEMOCRATS GET SENATE

Will Have 49, a Majority of 2-caIi-
fornia For Roosevelt.
Virtually complete returns from Cal
ifornia show that Colonel Roosevelt
has definitely wrested the state from
Governor Wilson, his plurality over
the Democrat being about 900 votes.
Wilson, however, gets four more
electoral votes by winning Idaho from
President Taft by plurality of about
900.
II an official count does not change
these two results Wilson will have
carried forty states, with 43S electoral
votes; Roosevelt, six states, with 80,
and Taft only two states, with votes.
These two states are Utah and Yer
mont.
Unofficial returns show the nations
popular vote to have been:
Wilson ........... 6,398,000
Roosevelt ..............4, 4,3l5,OOO
Taft ................ .3,350,OOO
