London, Jan. 15.-Today's meeting OF
the ambassadors of the powers was de-
voted to the subject Of the means Of
putting . break on the threatened re-
sumption OF war in the Balkans.
Breathing time was given for efforts
in this direction by the decision OF the
Balkan delegates today to delay &C
ton until the Turkish government mas
had full opportunity for discussion OF
the: ambassadors note.
It u evident both sides would well
come q discoverer Of way to avoid
fighting. The Turkish delegates argue
that but for the fact that the powers
have shown In favor Of the claims put
forward by the allies they would have
been able to compromise with their
adversaries long ago.
No Opposition From Ambassadors.
Tne delegates of the allies have de-
MED the powers have raised objection
to their announced intention to break
of negotiations. They point out that
on Saturday last they notified the
British foreign minister and all the Eu-
ropean ambassadors of their Intention
and none Of them demonstrated.
War Cost Great Sum.
The representatives Of Bulgaria,
Greece, Montenegro and Servia de-
clare they must protect their own tn
terests, especially in avoiding procras-
tination on the part Of the Turks. as
since the conclusion Of the armistice in
December, the maintainence OF the

key u now rejecting. They declare that
Bulgaria Will not be satisfied with
frontier line from Rodosto to Midia, but
will draw It before the gates Of Con-
stantinople, and they suggest war
indemnity Of 100000 or more.
The representative of the Balkan all

are concentrated around the fortress
OF Adrianople and along the lines OF

have been placed in position before

DIVORCE A BAR 70 BENEFIT
Judge Stevens Holds Wife Ceases to
Be Member of Family When
She Receives Decree

Madison.-Holding that the findings
Of the industrial commission do not
support the award of $1,000 made to
Minnie Lawrence of Superior against
the Lake Superior Terminal and
Transfer company, Circuit Judge Ste
Vens has set it aside.
The case is one of unusual interest
BIS Mrs. Lawrence was divorced from
her husband nine days before his
death, which resulted from injuries he
received while in the employ of the
"ailroad company.
She claimed a death benefit Of
$4,000 but the commission awarded
her $1,000, upon stipulation of all par
ties.
Judge Stevens holds that a wife
ceases to be a member of the family
when she receives her decree Of di-
gOrce. The court points out that it
seems to be settled in Wisconsin that
a divorced father is liable for the care
and support OF his minor children
when the divorce decree makes no pro-
vision directly for their support, as
n this case.

ANDWAR -
ADVANCE ON RICHMOND CITY
North, With All Its Resources, Spent
Four Years in Gaining Hundred
Miles In Virginia.

The siege of Richmond was under
taken in the spring of 1852 by Gen.
Mcclellan, who had succeeded Gen.
Mcdowell In the command of the east
ern army after the union defeat at
Manassas. Mcclellan carried his army
of the Potomac by water instead OF
by land, advancing on Richmond by
the York and James rivers and the
peninsula that is formed by their estu-
aries.
Success was met with at first. Siege
was laid to Yorktown, which was eva
cuated May 4 The retreating con-
federate forces was pursued b. the
invaders, who entered into another
battle at williamsburg. Taking adj
vantage OF the strategic value of the
Chickahominy river, Gen. Johnston
administered a drubbing to the feder-
ais at Fair Oaks He was wounded at
this engagement and was succeeded
by Gen. Lee.
This was the turning point in the
peninsular campaign. Although with
in sight of Richmond, advance into
the city was impossible for the Union
army. The strategy of Lee, with the
addition of Gen. 'StonewalP' jack
sons help, forced the army Of the Po-
tomac into retreat
Gen. Mcclellan had expected re-en-
forcements from the north, but NC
DoWell's command, which was to
have come south, was kept along the
ID ~, at~o
Jackson and his forces, who cleared
the Shenandoah valley OF Union sol'
diers and threatened Washington. ln
stead of taking any advantage In the
north. however, Jackson suddenly
packed off his army by rail to the vi
cinity of Richmond where, combining
with Lees troops, they forced the fed
erals slowly northward In series or
battles that lasted seven days.
Mcclellan confronted by the ire
sistible army of the south, was forced
to retire to the James river and the
peninsular campaign was at an end.
Under Gen. Pope the army OF the Po-
tomac was even 'ess successful and
Richmond was safe. In 1868 Gen
Hooker made an abortive attempt to
march on the confederate capital, but
1t was not until the spring Of 1865
that Gen. Grant, after a wasting cam
paign of nearly a full year, was able
to drive Lees army out Of the city
and to the place of its surrender
week later at Appomattox courthouse.
Thus 1t was that the north with all
four years labor in gaining the hun
dred miles of Virginia soil that lie
between Washington and Richmond
and In striking a death blow at the
confederacy.

ZeIie Emerson Suffers From Concus-

Riot Sequel.

London, Nov. 12-Miss Zelie Elmer
son, the American suffragette, whose
home is in Jackson, Mich, is in a
serious condition as the result Of in
juries received during a riot at Bow
Baths, in the east end of London, on
November 5. She is suffering from
conclusion of the brain caused from
the blow of a club in the hands of a
policeman.
Five days ago Miss Emerson led
an assailing band of women against a
battalion of police at the Old Bow
church who were trying to arrest
Sylvia Pankhurst. The charge was
successful. Miss Pankhurst was ia
ken by force from her captors and
spirited away to place of safety.
Reinforcements of the police dis
persed the throng of rescuers only
with the greatest difficulty. And
when the ground was cleared Miss
Emerson was found unconscious.

Cleveland, o., Nov 12.-Cleveland
has been cut off from all outside com

the past forty-eight hours and but one
telegraph wire is now working. The
sixty-mile gale which has swept the
city has subsidized somewhat, but a
blanket of snow, varying in depth from
four to ten feet, covers the city and
suburbs.
Numerous lives are believed to have
been lost and hundreds are threatened
with a famine unless the streets are
cleared within the next few hours. The
suffering in many quarters has been
intense.
The warm weather of the past few
days caused householders to neglect
to prepare for midwinter conditions
and in the poorer sections the sup
plies of food and fuel have been prac-
tically exhausted for several hours. No
milk has reached the city for twenty
four hours.
But few trains are arriving and
those bring only passengers and mails.
The interurban trolley lines, over
which much of the citys food is trans
ported, have been paralyzed
The property loss is estimated at
more than a million dollars. The gas
supply is almost exhausted and many
Of the electric light plants have been
closed to prevent electrocutions and

which are down all over the city.
