TURKEY INSISTS ON HOLDING ADRIANOPLE
And Refuses to Abandon the Aegean

Constantinople-The Turkish for
eign minister Effendi Saturday sub
mitted to the council Of ministers
draft of the reply to the note of the
powers. 1t is understood that it in
sists upon the retention of Adrianople
for these reasons:
/. Because the Bulgarian inhabi-
tants are in the minority in Adria-
nople, not only in comparison with
the Moslems, but as compared with
the other Christians.
2. Because of the splendid defense
of the garrison.
8. The loss of Adrianople, contain
ing the temples of the caliphs, would
ruin the prestige of Islam.
4. The loss of 'Adrianople, which is
the gate of Constantinople, would en-
danger the existence of the empire.

Regarding the Aegean islands, the

but is ready to continue pourparlers
respecting the distant islands.

TRYING 70 ELIMINATE ALL DISSATISFACTION
Are the Plans of Democratic Leaders
Before Announcement OF Wilson's
Intentons-Taft's Appointments.

Washington. = President-elect Will
sons refusal to allow himself to be
committed to any definite plans OF re-
organization or to outline publicly
through senators and congressman de-
tails of his legislative plans has had a
marked influence on congressional ac'
tiVity. ....
Democratic leaders from both houses
have made pilgrimages to New Jersey
since Christmas to talk over the new
administration work with the incom-
ing president. The general result OF
these conferences, however, has been
to hold up for the time being any con-
certed reorganization scheme in the
senate and house and to restrain the
activity of the democratic forces that
would have launched several impor-
tant political and legislative programs
had Mr.. Wilson given definite encour-
agement to the partially outlined
schemes.
To the majority Of those who have
visited him Governor Wilson has
given little indication of his plans.
The few to whom he has confided def
mite opinions have been pledged to
secrecy and have been unable to use
the president-elects influence to aid
their own plans or to support any gen.
eral program Of action.
The reorganization fight in the SEN
ate, which promised sensational de-
velopments in December, has shown
little activity during the last two
weeks. The efforts of democratic
leaders are now directed toward bring
ing about an outcome that will leave
no dissatisfied faction in the party.
Routine legislation is expected to oc
cupy the attention of congress
throughout this week. Further efforts
to solve the tangle in the senate over
President Taft's 1900 appointments
will be made during the week, the
hope of the democrats being that they
can force the republicans into some
arrangement whereby part OF thu
Taft appointments can be allowed II
go unconfirmed, leaving the places tt
be filled by Mr.. Wilson.

JACKSONVILLE. Fla, Feb. IL -
The citrus fruit movement was some
what lighter last week as most of
the fruit is moving under refrigera-
ton. and at some points it was i'm
possible to get refrigerator cars
Many growers refuse to ship any
other way.
The fruit is still showing much de-
cay in transit. Reports from heavy
shippers are conflicting as to the
best way to ship and as to the rea-
son that fruit is arriving in such
poor condition. Some shippers claim
that their fruit is moving very salts
faetorily under refrigeration, showing
decay of 10 per cent. Others claim
fruit under refrigeration is showing
decay of 20 to 80 per cent and say
they have shipped fruit in ventilated
cars that did not show any more de-
cay. in fact, sold on the market at
prices as good as fruit which NOV
ed under refrigeration. 1t is hard
for shippers to determine what is
best to do, but the largest individual
growers claim that fruit should be
shipped under refrigeration, and that
in picking, hauling and packing the
best possible care should be taken,
fruit being washed and cleaned of
all fungus and dirt and thoroughly
dried. If fruit cannot be thoroughly
dried after washing, don't wash it.
1t is a noticeable fact that fruit picked
last week during the two days OF
cool weather arrived on the market
in better shape with less decay
There is little fruit being bought
on the trees and practically no spec
ulation in any way. The movement
is steady and about the same mum
Der of cars are rolling weekly. There
is no improvement in the car short
age and the fruit growers are afrait
that the demand now for cars to

1887 cars. The movement for Jan
uary, 1913, was 1862 cars, an in
