SETTLE PEACE TERMS.

London, Jan. 4.-The Balkan peace
conference, which was to have met
again this afternoon, was postponed
until Monday at the request Of the
Turks, who are awaiting final instrue
tions from the Ottoman government
at Constantinople.
There is no evidence today of a
weakening of the deadlock in the con-
ference over the question Of the fu-
ture of the fortress of Adrianople.
The probable outcome of the expected
interruption in the negotiations will
be mediation by the European pow
ers.
Under the pressure of Europe, the
Turkish government, it is thought,
would be able to meet the public hos
tility in Turkey to the giving up OF
the fortress Of Adrianople within the
plea that it had been forced to yield
by the powers. Should this be the
final solution of the problem, Tur-
key will get larger slice of the
province of Thrace than the Balkan
allies were first disposed to give her.

can Sea, if the powers should exert

IMPORTANT CASE TO eE ARGUED

Washington. Jan. A formidable
docket will face the supreme court Of
the United states when 1t reconvenea
Monday after the holiday recess. It
is considered likely that some impor-
tant decisions may be handed down
on the opening day. The decision in
the state rate cases and the decision
as to the rights Of the Union Pacific
stockholders in the distribution Of the
Southern Pacific stock are the deci-
sions that are awaited with most pub
lie interest.
Among the important cases dock
eted for argument before the supreme
court on the opening day is the suit
of the Minehill and Schuylkill Haven
Railway company against the collector
Of the Internal revenue at PhiladeI-
phia. This suit involves the govern
ment's right to impose a tax upon cor
porations that have leased their prop
critics, which right has been denied
by the lower court The issue, if fin
ally decided against the government, |
will involve the loss Of many thou
sand dollars in revenues, since there
are thousands Of largs corporations
which have leased their nronar4fgs /
and which will be affected by the de-
eision.
