Allies VIII Not be Allowed to Partl-
tion Turkeyin-Eurone II
They Wln
Out.
WON NAVAL BATTLE
Turkish Cruiser Attacked and Destroy
ed Three Greek Ships In
the Harbor Of
stamphaiIa.

=
LONDON, Jan. 31.--R the Balkan
allies renew the war against Turkey
and win, they will not be allowed to
partition Turkey-in-Europ in their
own way That was the determination
of the great powers OF Europe today
1t was reached through consultation
of the London ambassadors with S.r
Edward Gray, British secretary OF
state for foreign affairs, at the for-
eign office, was communicated to
the representatives Of the Balkan
states, remaining here.
Should the allies forcibly bring the
Ottoman to terms the final territorial
settlement will be made by general
European conference.
This, it was learned from a semi
official source, Is the stand taken by
the nations of the triple entente and
the triple alliance.
The ambassadors were excessively
annoyed by the half-heagtedness Of
Turkeys reply to the powers, and the
action OF the Balkan delegates, which
1 they characterized as hasty.
/
Bulgarian, that none of the Balkan
4 delegates will leave London before
] the end of the week, and the allies
{! still adhered to their arrangement to
4 leave four representatives, one from
&, each Of the states, In Londcn, for en-.
ergency.
The powers are still hopeful for
~, ~ ir,fr ,ofj fNr,,r1
the foreign office. The fact that in the
Ottoman note, the Young Turks were
more conciliatory and offered more
than ever before, encouraged the am
bassadors to believe that Turkey, by
i pressure might still be brought to
! meet the demands Of the allies. Equal
Ily encouraging was the construction
put by the ambassadors on the deci-
sion Of Balkan delegates to leave en-
voys in London indefinitely.
Another Bluff From Turkey.
LONDON, Jan. 31--Rechid Pasha,
chief Of the Turkish plenipotentiaries
late this afternoon denied tha. his
colleagues had been ordered to leave
IoHuou. - uc OtIoiiuh cHFoy uiu ioe
deny that the porte had made the or
der, but said he had not received it.
Foreign ambassadors were of the
? opinion that the news from Constan-
, linople was Just another a. the porte's
!. bluffs. They believed peace negotia-
tions would be resumed before any
delegates left for their capitals.
Three Greek Ships Sunk.
ONSTANTINoPLE Jan. 31-The
Turkish cruiser Hamidieh today at
tackled and destroyed three Greek war.
, ships In the harbor Of Stampalia, an
/ island Of the Sporades.
Stampalla Is a Turkish island in the
. Aegean lying near the Grecian archi-
q pelago, twenty miles from Amorges.
t The onslaught of the Turkish cruis-
r er on the Greek vessels was not a
i violation OF the armistice, or the stip-
J. ulation for four days warning of its
4 denunciation, since Greece never
signed the protocol OF Baghtche The

LABOR COST NOT ALL
DECLARES UNDERWOOD
In the Problem of the Diff
ference in the Cost of
Production. ...,

WASHINGTON, Jan. 21-A score
of persons whose interests are az
fected by the agricultural schedule
were on the witness list, when the
House committee on ways and means
resumed the tariff hearings today.
Chairman Underwood has indi-
Gated that while the committee feels
that labor cost is important it is not
the only constellation in solving ule
problem of the difference in the cost
of production.
The management man at the
head of a plantation or a factory"
said Underwood, sometimes per
forms services worth a great deal
more than all labor cost by reason
OF his being a man of executive abil-
ity and of getting work out of his
labor and of generally getting re-
suits.

But the Democratic Senators
Sick to French for The
Senate President
ELECTION MAY COME
Before the Day IS Ended But
Who the Choice Win
Really Bs


CHARLEsTcN, Jan. I'll AL
though badly bent the deadlock in
the election ct pres,dent Of the
state senate Is tiIi.Gnbroken!
The Opportunity was laid down
to the Republicans on nineteen of
the twenty ballots this morning to
put IA end to the deadlock, had they
been able to unite on any one Dem
ocrat.
That a Democrat IS to be presi-
dent was settled yesterday, when the
Republicans conceded to the Demo
Gratis that honor providing the latter
would allow the Republicans to
name the president. This, however,
was refused.
Senator French. Democrat, re-
.ceived the solid vote of his col
leagues on every one Of the twenty
one ballots today, and ON every one
of the sixty thus far taken.
The ballot on the final vote before
a recess was taken until 3 O'Clock
this afternoon was French fourteen,
Bland eleven, England five. French
voted for England on the first and
last two ballots.
The House met at 1880 this at
ternoon.
1t is practically certain that a
president will be chosen this after
noon.
The FIRST break in the ranks OF
the Republican senators came at
1890 O'Clock this morning, when on
the second ballot of the day and the
fortIeth thus far cast, Senator
Blessing, Republican, voted for
Bland. Democrat. This increased
until the fifth ballot, when Bland
had received SEVEN. England eight
and French fourteen votes. French
not voting.
Temporary Presiding officer Sill
yer ruled against Kids contention
that the highest vote and not a ma.
jorlty was necessary to elect pres
ident.
The sixth and seventh ballots
were unchanged. On the eighth
White. Of Mingo, went to Bland, and
on the tenth Coalter went over. On
the eleventh Smith, of Roane, went
to Bland. This continued until the
end of the thirteenth ballot of the
day and the fifty-second taken on
the presidency.
Maecorkle then moved an ad-
journment until tomorrow, but it
lost by a vote of twenty-four to six.
Mccrum, Republican, offered a
resolution to recess out of respect to
ex-senator d. B. Smith, who died
last night. Peterkin, Kidd, Mac
corkle and others objected to taking
recess, and on a point of order the
chair held that the resolution could
not be acted upon because the SEN
ate was not organized.
