Before the news of an armistice, the
reported outbreak of cholera in and
near Constantinople had added to the
terrors of the situation, and this fact
doubtless had weight with the combat
ants in making peace. The United States
had dispatched two warships from Phil
adelphia the cruisers Tennessee and
Montana, to Turkish ports. for the pro-
lection of American interests there, one
to Beirut and the other to Smyrna. The
state department sent funds for the use
of the Red Cross societies on both sides.
The Socialist International Bureau at
Brussels called a special congress to

Later war dispatches on Friday made
it appear that the Turkish appeal for
peace was construed as being limited to
in other regions where Serbs, Monte
negrins or Greeks were affected.
1t was also reported that Bulgaria
was slow in responding to the appeal of
the Turks and further war movements
were reported along the Bulgarian front,
including their occupation of Rodosto
the port on the Sea of Marmora and at
tacks on the Turkish right near Lake
Derkos, the source of the water supply
of Constantinople.

Turkey. Beaten, Wants Peace.

At the very critical moment when all
Europe stood in undisguised fear of
general war between the Triple Alliance
of Germany, Austria and Italy on the
one hand and the Triple Entente of
England France and Russia on the
other through the victories of the Bal
kan allies over Turkey and the immi-
nent entry of the Bulgarian army into
Constantinople against the wishes of the
powers early on Nov. IA came the news
from the Turkish capital that kiamil
Pasha, the grand vizier of Turkey, had
appealed directly to King Ferdinand or
Bulgaria for an armistice pending the
negotiation of peace preliminaries. Fer
dinand at once ordered the cessation of
hostilties and the same order was sent
out by the other Balkan governments to
their armies in the field.
The greatly demoralized Turkish army
under NaZim Pasha had made show of
continuing the defenses of Tchataldja
and the Bulgars were beginning the at
tack and the booming of their guns was
adding to the panic of fear and bust
ness paralysis in the capital when
Nazim Pasha sent word that the army
neither could nor would fight further
and that the government should seek
the best terms possible. Adrianople was
still under siege by the Bulgarians, but
was still holding out, although Its cap
ture or surrender was expected at any
moment.

E. p. ADAMS ON TAXATION.
cussion at Mems Forum In Bethany
Church, Montpelier.

Church, montpelier
Senator f. II. Rabbit, who was
scheduled to speak on taxation before
the Mems Forum of Bethany church
yesterday, was called from the city and
unable to be present. The leading part
in the discussion was taken by L. p.
Adams, the member of the House from
Marlboro. who has seen more terms of
service in the general assembly than
any other member of the Legislature.
He spoke of the difficulties of the
subject of taxation and the possibility
that in righting one wrong another
wrong may be done. He said there was
demand that something be done and
that no progress could be made without
a beginning. If we waited to secure a
perfect tax law no legislation on the
subject ever would be secured. If all
men were honest the existing laws would
be good enough.
He doubted if any law would make
a dishonest man honest He called at
tention to a Massachusetts law which
provides that if a man does not pay
his honest share of taxes during his
lifetime it may be taken out of his
estate after he is dead He cited one
instance where a man who had claimed
to be poor left an estate of 100000 out
of which the state took $4,000 in taxes
He thought this was an inducement
to be honest. The subject was discussed
further by Senator Elliot of White Riv-
err Junction, Mr.. Ripley of Poultney and
others-[Montpelier Journal of Monday.

make such an order and has intimated
that It would not do so unless the child
was brought into the courts jurisdic-
ton. Some time ago Mr.. Stockwell set
tied with the Connecticut River Power

 OF DEMOCRATS TODAY
Contest Likely Between Comstock and

In attendance a. the state democratic convention at Bridgeport today will be the local delegates. pr. J. J. Donohue William Fl. Callahan. NJ NI Keough, c. J. Downes. Thomas J. Kelly, John J. Cornell, Jeremiah Donovan and Elmer Kingsley StaLe Chairman C. W. Comstock will also be in attend ance.
 There is no list prepared in advance of the delegates who are to be named tor the Baltimore convention. The democratic leaders have no preparel programme and have no slate to sub init to the. convention. The prepara- tion of the list of delegates at large and district delegates will be in the hands of the convention, and that con- vention will pass upon the question of who shall and who shall not go to the national convention.
 There has been for the last week or two much discussion in different parts of the state as to who will be selected by the convention for dele gates at large. A number of names have been mentioned
 In the eastern part of the state there has been considerable talk among the democrats in favor Of naming as one of the delegates at large Charles w Comstock, the chairman of the demo- cratic state central committee. He has been hard worked for tho success of the democratic party, and in the last state campaign was tireless in his ne- deavo-s to bring about victory for the state ticket. It is said that there if some opposition to MT Comstock and that such opposition comes from a number of democratic leaders in New London county.
 The name Of Mayo Bryan F. Mahar of New LondCn has hcen frequently heard in democratic circles in eastern Connecticut as a very likely one fol the list of delegates at large. There is no more conspicuous worker for tho democratic party in the state of Con necticut than Mayor Mahan. accord ing to general opinion and the men tion of him as a delegate at large has been received with favor hv thoss democrats who believe that such ener. getfc workers in the cause of democ- racy shoull be hon0red when occasion offers.

BAD BLOOD CAUSED ACCESS,
How VinoI Saved Mrs. Hall.

It took a dangerous and painful eN- perience to prove to Mrs. Hattie Hall that she had let her health run down. In a letter from Schenectady N E., she says: "I was forcibly reminded that my system needed renovating and that my blood was out of order by the fact that an abscess formed in my side a short time ago and re- quired treatment for several weeks.
 Under the regular use of Ninol to enrich and purify my blood and build up my strength, this was soon healed up and my general health very much improved"
 Right now is the very best time of year to put your blood in good order by the use of our delicious cod liver and iron remedy without oil. Ninol. It enriches the blood by adding iron and thus frees it from its impurities.
 Ninol is wonderfully strengthening and vitalizing for all who are run down and weak, and we guarantee ii to give perfect satisfaction Broad way Pharmacy, G. G. Engler, Norwich, Conn
