LONDON, Jan, r. The formal
breaking off Of peace negotiations to-
day was thought not to be improbable
when the Turkish Balkan conference
was resumed at st. James Palace at
three o'clock this afternoon. The
delegates of the allies, 1t was said,
would again insist on the cession OF
Salonika and Macedonia and If the
Turks interposed more dilatory tao
ties instead of discussing the propo-
sition, the Balkan enyoys planned to
walk out of the conference.
1t was expected that Rechid pasha,
chief OF the Turkish plenipotentiaries,
would present the formal proposal
that the matter of territorial settle
ment be put UP to the great powers
for meditation The matter was
guardedly broached by the Ottoman
enjoys at the last session of the con
ference on Monday and dispatches
from Constantinople said that the
code telegram which the Turkish del

cipher, was formal suggestion from

and this was an appointment that was

AS a matter OF fact, the appointment

lief that nothing is to be given to the
politicians of this state which can
be given elsewhere. The fitness Of
Mr.. Davis was recognized and he was

selected by the attorney general and
the president as the man for the place
before any word OF what was going on

cation.

West Virginia getting the place. It
looks bad now for any West Virginia

one which must be filled from West
