Washington, January 26.-Although

lief that the currency question and the

Itisthe general opinion in Democratic
circles in Washington that President
Wilson will at least not 'foreclose
Congress against acting on everything
but the tariff in special session. A ma
jority of the Democrats in the Senate
expect little legislation outside the tari1

dent Wilson in calling the extra session

An effort is under way by some
Democratic Senators to postpone &C
ton on the currency until the next

d movement will be promoted to secure
an extension of the present Aldrich-
VreeIand emergency currency law for
at least a year. so that an emergency

They Realize What Re-
sumption of War
May Mean.
NOTE TO TURKEY
BEING DRAFTED
1t Will Be Presented To-Day
and Will Explain Why Peace
Conference Must Be Consid-
cred Broken Off-Action
of Rumania and Aus
tria Is Feared.

London, January 26.-The Balkan
pIenipotentiaries. who have received
full powers from their respective gov
ernments, appointed committee to-
day 20 draft a note TO the Turkish
plenipotentiaries explaining why the
peace conference must now be consid-
cred broken off. 1t is hoped the draft
will be ready for approval by the full
delegation Monday night.
This action of the allies is part of
series of well-considered forms OF
pressure with which the Balkan dele
gates hope TO obtain their object
without resuming the war
The meeting to-day lasted for an
hour and a half and the course to be
followed was given earnest considera-
ton. Two distinct views were mani
fested-one for the Immediate rupture
of the negotiations. leading to a re-
sumption of the war. and the other
favoring temporizing policy. in order
10 avoid irrevocable steps. The latter
course trium phed and committee was
appointed, consisting of one member
from each delegation. as follows:
Michael Madjarof, Bulgarian minis
ter at London: Professor Georgios
STREET. Greek minister to Austria
Hungary. Count Voynovitch. chief of
King Nicholas Cabinet. representing
Montenegro. and DR.. NJ. r.. Vesnith.
Servian minister 70 France. with the
addition OF M Politis. of the Greek
delegation. owing to his knowledge of
French and his thorough acquaintance
with international law
Old Arguments Rehearsed.
General lines were laid down on
which the note is TO be drafted. com
prising the arguments already set forth
many times as TO why the league de-
mands the surrender of Adrianople and
the Aegean Islands as an indispens q Die
condition TO tho conclusion of peace.
That the policy of the allies is to
gain time is patent and does not deceive
anybody. The delegates declared that
the advantages to be derived from the
resump tion of hostilities would be in
proportion 10 the risks they ran and
that they would not take that step
unless absolutely forced to do so. 1t
is realized that even partial reverse
would have grave moral and material
consequences. apart from the loss of
thousands of men.
In addition, the fact is not over
looked that there is danger of Rumania
advancing from the rear and of Austria
her conditions for remaining neutral.
The only disadvantage in delaying
decisive action is in keeping large armies
inactive and on war footing for a
long time. thus heavily taxing both
the financial and agricultural resources
of their countries.

WILL SEEK QUICK
ACTION BY HOUSE
Leaders Would Have Senate
Erdman Bill Enacted to
Avert Railroad Strike.

House leaders, who are cooperating
with President Wilson in the effort to
avert a general strike on the railroad
lines east of the Mississippi river and
north of the Potomac. are preparing for
fight for quick action by the House to-
morrow. The judiciary committee of the
House was called together for a meeting
this afternoon with view of an agree
ment to withdraw the House measure for
amending the Erdman mediation law and
to substitute the Senate measure. so as
to expedite the legislation.
The Senate has passed the Newlands
bill differing somewhat from the bill
now pending in the House. Senator
Newlands of Nevada has stated that
both sides in the railroad controversy
favor the Senate bill. Some Of the
members of the House judiciary COM
mittee said today there would be no
ate measure, which would leave only
the Presidents assured approval neces-
sary.

western railways late yesterday con-
ferred with Secretary Wilson Of the
Department of Labor regarding the
proposition of including these unions

Commissioners Object to Bill
Which Saddles Expense
on District.

Primary nominating elections in the
District of Columbia which shall be
held at the expense of the local gov
eminent are not favored by the Com
missioners. They SO express themselves
In a report sent to Congress today on
the bill of Senator Bristow providing
for elections of this character and
stipulating that the cost shall be pay
able entirely from the revenues of the
District.
Without expressing an opinion as to
whether the proposed legislation is wise
as a matter of general policy, or whether
it was contemplated by the Constitution
of the United States as affecting the Dis
trict Of Columbia" states the report, the
Commissioners desire to express the opin-
ion that the expense involved in such leg
islation should not be chargeable to the
revenues of the District OF Co umpia.
THE specific object of the bill seems to
be one of national rather an local con-
Germ, and the advisability of it's enact
ment subject for the judgment Of Con-
gress. The Commissioners are lacking in
the necessary data and experience upon
which to base a recommendation as to
the policy Of the bill, but for the reason
given above. namely. that 1T would i'm
pose the expense of conducting such a
primary nominating election upon the rev.
enues of the District of Columbia, they
recommend adverse action on the bill"
