PEACE NEG0TIAT0RS
BEGIN THEIR WORK
Proclamation of Truce Mo
mentarily Expected-Terms
Not Yet Known.
TBy Cable to The Tribune. J

London, Nov. 20.-While the battle OF
Tchataldia. described as one of the
bloodiest of the war, is still raging
peace negotiations have begun between
the Balkan League and Turkey. Pleni-
potentiaries have been appointed by
the league to treat with the Ottoman
commander in chief, and truce WILL
il is said be proclaimed at once ana
negotiations for a final treaty of peace
thereupon begun.
According TO a Paris story, King
Ferdinand has given up all idea OF try
ing to force the final defences of con-
stantinople and there is just the ghost
Of a chance now that the crushed TURKS
may obtain better terms than was
thought a few days ago.
The Bulgars are almost as much
worn out as the Turks, and the fright
full cholera epidemic, attacking the TWO
exhausted armies, one Of which Is bad
" demoralized into the bargain by in
cessant defeat, places the possibility oil
carving on the war beyond human en-
durance.
There is no trustworthy information
yet about the terms of peace which VIII
be exacted by Bulgaria and her allles.
The only certain thing is that the
league VIII retain all or very nearly
all the Turkish territory that it has
CONQUERED. From the first it was
known that Ferdinands ambition did
not soar to the capturing and holding
Of Constantinople, but it will I'M
doubtedly be a bad blow for him to
give up the idea of forcing his way to
the walls.
Constantinople, Nov. 10, 1870 p. NJ
The Porte tomorrow will appoint
plenipotentiaries to meet the Bulgarian
plenipotentiaries with regard to an
armistice.
An official note issued tonight says
that the Bulgarian government has re-
piled to the Porte's recent communica-
ton respecting an armistice, and that
Bulgaria is ready to enter into rela-
tons with the Ottoman plenipotentiar-
les with a view to the conclusion Of an
armistice and to discuss conditions of
peace.
NJ. de Giers, the Russian Ambassa-
DOR went to the Porte at 1880 o'clock
this evening and, it is believed, handed
to the Foreign Minister Bulgaria's re-
plv to the Turkish peace proposals.
The Council Of Ministers at a late hour
was still sitting discussing these.

tered a plea OF not guilty before Justice

Brennan, also indicted on the same
charges, could not be found, and his

Wynn. The last telegram was for 800.
and was the one that led TO the detection
Of the fraud.

tfces at the various Offices Of the COM

Details of Encounter Between
Laundry Girls Told TO Judge.

Graphic details OF a free-for-aIl femi-
nine fight, which involved the welding
OF a milk bottle with disastrous effect

arraiGned on a charge OF assaulting
Maud Jefferson, likewise cOlored, of 81

Maud ''black-headed hawk" a skir-
mish ensued, in which Rosie, in self-de-

ment, Keep the tariff where it is

eve find that the rate proposed
would give beet sugar factories who
produce at 3 lie. per ID. a profit,
as a direct result of the tariff Of
.4O7c. per h., or $8.14 per ton.
"And those properly located and
equipped, and who produce sugar at
&c. a profit of .9O7c per h., or S18
per ton
A Cane Refinery in New York is
very glad to make an average profit
Of 20 to 25 cents per one hundred
pounds.
AS the average price of granu-
lated, under the present tariff, has
been 4.98c per pound, the saving to
the American people, under the pro-
posed rate, would be over 1c. per
pound, or seventy-f1ve million dol
lars on the amount of sugar con
sumed in 1911.
1t is no answer to this to tabu-
late figures to prove that the per
capita consumption on the table is
small. A reduction of one cent per
pound would increase by one-f1fth
the purchasing power Of the money
appropriated for sugar in thous-
ands of modest households where
the increased cost of living compeIs
the count Of pennies.
The rate proposed will amply pro-
tect, for all legitimate purposes, the
sugar industries of Porto Rico,
Hawaii, the Philippines, and also
our Domestic Beets. It will dis
courage the over capitalization of
beet sugar plants, and the improper
location Of factories, where climate
and soil conditions are against good
results. The domestic industry
would be on much better footing
If the Tariff were revised so as not
to encourage both of these funda-
mentally unsOund conditions.
A fair example of this over-capi-
talization is found in the American
Beet Sugar Company. They have
100000 preferred stock selling
at about par, and 100000 of
common stock selling around 10,
say selling value of 100000.
They produce one and one-half mil
lions bags, say Is, 900 tons per year
A cane sugar refinery in New York
with $5,000,000, capital will pro-
duce over $4,000 tons in year.
The gross earnings of the American
Company for the year ending
March 81, 1912, were over $1,000
600. After paying six per cent divi-
dend on the preferred shares, the
Company had available for dividends
on the common stock 10 1-2 per
cent; and all this was after the
usual allowance for depreciation of
$756,000. The common stock of
this Company has come to be a
favorable speculation in Wall Street
and the perfection of it is therefore
protection of the specuIator. The
Union Sugar Company last year paid
100 per cent and the Michigan Su-
gar Company 35 per cent. in addi-
ton to the regular dividend of sew
en- per cent. These beet sugar man
ufacturers have capitalized the
