PORTE READY TO CEDE
HALF OF ADRIANOPLE
Would Retain Part Of City Where Mosques
Are Situated, Sunendering Part on
Right Bank of River.

COnstantinople. Jan. 30.--In its reply
TO the joint note of the powers The
Young Turk government asserts itself
boldly. Apart from proposals to cede
the part of Adrianople king on the
right bank of the Martha and plea
for the retention of the Egcan Islands,
the new government takes advantage
Of the occasion to press for relief from
the letters OF tariff and foreigners ex-
ira territorial rights, under which the
Turks have long chafed.
The ottoman government does not
hesitate to recognize that the conclu-
sion of peace corresponds with ;he
hopes and interests of all" says the
note, and that it is desirable TO put
an end as soon as possible to struggle
which it in no way provoked.
The Imperial government has al
ready given undeniable proofs of
conciliatory spirit by conserving to
immediate sacrifices. Adrianople be-
ing an essentially Mussulman town
therefore indissolubly bound up with
the empire, the mere rumor of its ces-
sion provoked a sentiment of repro
baton throughout the country ana
aroused such excitement as to bring
about the resignation Of the last Cab
met.
The Turkish government is willing.
as a final proof Of its pacific disposi-
ton, to place itself in the hands OF the
powers regarding that part of Adria-
nople situated on the right bank of the
Martha River The mosques and his
toric monuments are on the left bank,
and the retention of that section is a
necessity which the government can
not fail 10 take account OF without
exposing the country TO a commotion
which might result In the gravest con-
sequences"

Unionists is conceded. and thus a
notable triumph for Home Rule has
occurred on the very day upon which
the House of Lords at Westminster

There were plenty OF interesting
polling incidents. The palm, perhaps,
was taken by the Unionists in polling

A startlingly tragic incident. too. oc-
Cured A Unionist named Wilson, who
had been ill., had declared his intention
Of voting at all costs. ARRANGEMENTS
were made to call for him, and when
the workers arrived they found him
ready dressed and waiting to be taken
TO tho polls. He was about to accom-

DECIDES IN FAVOR OF JEWS
Russian Senate Rules They May
Name Their Children as They Please.

st. Petersburg Jan. 30.-There is moth
ing in the Russian law to prevent Russian
subjects of the Jewish faith naming their
children as they please. according to
ruling laid down by the Russian Senate
last evening The Ministry OF the In
terror hac asked the Senate to give a de-
cision on the subject, owing to the grow
ing custom among Russians OF this re-
ligious sect OF assuming ordinary Russiln
first names and comforting them on their
children. instead Of the Old Testament
names hitherto used by them.
The protest Of the Holy Synod against
this permission being given has therefore
been ineffective, and cannot be enforced
without the introduction Of new legsla-
ton.

positively certain that nowhere couid
there have been found such display or
colors, such a jingling Of mirth and
medals and so much dignity strutfins
about as at the Madison Square Garden.
It seems foolish, by the way. to have to
mention that II was the annual ball OF tho
great and only Old Guard.
For hours and hours generals. adnirals

women leaning upon their heavily en-
bossed arms, strolled around and around.

B. WELLS TO VISIT U. S.
Europe's Best Heavyweight to
Arrive Here Next Week.

London, Jan. 3O-Bombadier Wells,
with his manager, Jim" Maloney. is
leaving Liverpool by the Mauretania on
Saturday in the hope of fixing a match
with Luther McCarty. Wells to-day
called at the Tribune office and de-
clared himself fit and ready to meet the
best men in America. He said 1t was
useless remaining in England, as he
could get nobody to box him.
Some months ago he entered into
contract with James White. who engi-
neered the Johnson-W Wells abortive
event, for five matches, but only that
with the Frenchman, Rodel, resulted in
meeting Hence. on the expiry or
the contract he had decided to leave for
America. where he hoped BILLY" Glib
son would be able to clinch the pro-
posed match with McCarty. He said:
Il hope when l show my face in New
York City McCarty will be induced to
change his mind and meet me. That is
the chief object Of my mission. y
match for the championship Of the
world is surely due to me. as champion
heavyweight of Europe.
Il am not bound TO any definite itin-
crary in the United States, so, failing
McCarty. l am open TO meet the next
best man that comes along. | shall be
ready, IN enter the ring in New York at
the end Of February or early in March"
Georges Carpenters refusal removes
the only possibility Of Wells getting an
attractive match here and IL is likely
that he will make rather long stay in
the United States.

argument is set forth that those near
est the Dardanelles are indispensable
TO the defence Of the capital, while the
others. forming an integral part of
Asia Minor. are no less indispensable
to the security OF the Asiatic posses
sions. Any diminution of Turkish au-
thorty, therefore, would transform
them into centers of agitation, which
wouli spread to the adjoining shores
and create state of unrest similar
to that in Macedonia, which has
threatened and still threatens the tran
guilty of Europe
Turkey offers to abide by the decl-
sion Of the powers regarding the status
Of the islands occupied by the allies II
they have regard for the foregoing con-
siderations and the integrity of the
Dardanelles. which the note reminds
the powers is a question o. the highest
importance to Europe. In conclusion,
the note says:
The Imperial government is con-
V1nCed tnat the great pow III 81 Sph'e
of justice and equity will recognize the
extent Of the sacrifices 10 which Tur-
key has consented and will agree TINT
the Sublime Porte would be right in
rejecting any further demands which
might be raised by the Balkan allies. y
The Porte has protested to the pow
ers against the denunciation OF the
armistice by the Balkan allies.
The Turkish note adds that it is in
dispensabe that the powers recognize
now and henceforth Turkeys right to
adopt an autonomous tariff without
being fettered and to conclude CONNER
cial treaties on the principles OF mod
ern law. 1t asks for a provisional in
crease in the tariff Of per cent and
the abolition of foreign postofiices. II
suggests declaration by the powers OF
their desire TO end the capitulations

RATE WAR INEVITABLE
Canadian Pacific WithdraWs
from Atlantic Pool.

Berlin. Jan. 3o.-The North Atlantic
steamship conference. which began it's
sittings here on Tuesday, ended abruptly
to-day, when the Canadian Pacific Rail-
way refused 10 join in the pool. The
other members unanimously decided to re-
new the combination, and there is
prospect of a lively rate war for Storage
business from Trieste.
A statement was given out by the con-
ference declaring that the lines repre-
scented failed TO reach an agreement with
the Canadian Pacific Railway and de-
clded 10 continue without that company's
cooperation.
A representative of the Austro- Amerf-
can line announced the intention OF his
company TO inaugurate regular service
between Trieste and Canada.
George McLaren Brown. the London
representative Of the Canadian Pacific, In
an interview later referred TO the fact
that the Canadian Pacific's Antwerp line
withdrew from the pool last year He said
the chief business of the present confer
ence was to endeavor to win the Canadian
Pacific back. He declared that the con-
ference had fatty demanded that the
Canadian Pacific Railway surrender its
contract with Austria for its new Trieste
Canada line and pay a default. The COM
bination offered not single recompense
Of any nature, and he had therefore re-
fused TO join.
Mr. Brown added that the Canadian
Pacific Railway faced the situation cheer
fully and was prepared to meet any rate
reduction by the pool. He expressed the
opinion. moreover. that low rates would
benefit Canada.
Both the Canadian Pacific and the Aus
tro-American companies expect to be-
gin the Trieste service in March The
latter line is controlled by the Hamburg
American and the North German Loyd.
