European powers lot lnS purpose or
bringing about the conclusion of
peace in the Balkans.
The note handed to the porte on
January II by the European am
hassadors called the Ottoman gov
ernment's attention "to the grave
responsibility it would assume if by
asistance to their counsels it should
prevent the establishment of
peace. 1t would only have itself to
blame IL the prolongation of the war
rad as a consequence to put in
question the fate of the capital and
Derhaps to extend hostilities to the
Asiatic provinces of the Empire"
The two powers called Turkeys
ttention to the fact that after the
conclusion of peace it would have
naed Of the moral and material sup

OF the war, and advised Turkey to
consent to the cession Of Adrian

OF the Aegean Islands.
ACtlOn Brings Chaos.
Constantinople, Jan. 23. - The
rdrkish cabinet resigned to-day in
cnnsequence of public demonstra-
Ions and protests against its action
In acceding to the wishes of the Eu-
ropean powers over the Balkan set
sment.
Mahoud Shefket Pasha, foreign
luinister, has been appointed grand
zier in place of Kiamil Pasha.
ITalatt Bey has been appointed
minister of the interior, a position
ha held in a previous cabinet. In a
statement after his appointment he
said:
1.-The change in the cabinet means
hat we are going to save the ma
ti9nal honor or perish in the at
tempt. We do not want a continual
ti3n Of the war, but we are deter
lined to keep Adrianople at all
costs. That is an indispensable con-
VI ton of peace"
Resumption Fears Dispe1led.
London, Jan. 23.-The immediate
consequence Of the decision of the
Turkish grand council to conclude
peace with the Balkan allies will he
the cessation Of hostilities between
Greece and Turkey and the surren-
der Of the Turkish fortresses of Ad-
rtanople, Janina and Scutari. At each
TIL oh orYsicn III
withdraw with the honors OF war.
Difficulties may arise concerning
he fate of the Scutari, as no one
knows to whom it Is to be surren-
Tered, whether to the Montenegrins,
20 a provisional Albanian govern
nent or to representatives OF the
lowers.
King Nicholas, Of Montenegro, in
the head of his troops. Otherwise
he says the reign of his family in
Montenegro is doomed, because he,
contrary to the advice Of his gene
rails, refused to try to take Scutari
by storm at the beginning Of the
war, in order to avoid the certain
heavy losses which his small army
would have suffered.
He preferred the temporizing pol
icy Of laying sieze to the fortress,
and should Scutari for this reason
be lost to the Montenegrins he alone
will be considered responsible.
Members of the Turkish peace
delegation in London show signs of
depression, but they are determined
that the era Of concessions must now
be regarded as finally closed. They
say they are convinced that the pow
ers will support them in rejecting
the demands Of the allies for war
indemnity.
All fears Of a resumption Of the
war having been removed, the allies
are now planning the early with
drawal Of large bodies of troops. The
delegates in London, however, think
that a month may pass before the
final signatures are put to the peace
treaty as the settlement of exact
frontiers, the questions of indem-
nifty and the guarantees in regard to
the mosques and sacred places of
Adrianople still have to be ar
ranged.
