turkish government displays a spirit
OF compromise in its reply to the note
handed to it by the representatives
of the European powers on January
18th.
Inc response was presented today
by Mahmoud Shefket Pasha, the
grand V1zier to Margrave Johann Won
FaLaVlc1nI, dean of the diplomatic
corps in the Turkish capital. The
Porte stipulates for the retention by
Turkey of those quarters of the for
tress of Adrianople in which the Holy
Shrines are situated. 1t proposes to
leave in the hands of the powers, the
disposal of the land on the right bank
OF the Martha river which runs
through Adr1anople.
AT the same time; the Ottoman gov
ernment consents to the dismantling
Of the fortification of that city.
In reference to the Turkish islands
in the Aegean sea-. the document in
sists on the maintenance of Turkish
sovereignty owing to the proximity
of the islands to the Turkish main
land, but it intimates the readiness of
the Ottoman government to leave the
settlement of the insular regime to the
powers
The reply takes note of the prom
ises made by the European powers in
their recent joint communication re-
specting the giving of aid in the flu
ture development of the territory of
the Turkish empire.
The religious and historical grounds
which compel the porte to stand out
for the retention at all events of that
portion of Adrianople containing the
sacred shrines are recapitulated at
the end of the reply.
Not Satisfactory.
London, Jan. 30.-"EInphatically
the Turkish reply to the note of the
allies is not acoepta yte,' was the COM
ment made by Dr.. Aneff. leader of the
was shown the terms of the Ottoman
response. He continued: Speaking
on behalf of all the allies, state that
the Turkish reply is not of character
to form the basis of fresh negotia-
tions. We have said that the fortress
of Adrianople and Turkish islands in
the Aegean sea must be ceded and
without the negotiations will not be
resumed.
Moreover this cession must be
made before hostilities are resumed
as the first shot will change our con-
ditions.''
Events in the Balkan peninsula are
moving with such rapidity that the
world may soon be confronted, not
with the question of peace or war,
but with a catastrophe which will lead
into a tremendous civil war
Those who know the Ottoman empire,
believe that the revolt among the
Turkish troops on the Tchatalja lines
is much more grave than announced
in the short dispatches passed by the
censor. Close observers of events in
expect that similar revolts will
take place in the Asiatic provinces,
where the elements opposing the young
Turks are stronger than in E1rone.

This fall hats are not the fy-a-way
kind, but fit the head much as a mans
Derby hat does. In fact, I wouldn't

would be worn. It seems safe to
assert that hats will remain small and
medium sized for fall. There are
several new adaptions of the sailor

GIVE US GOOD ROADS.

Some time ago the State ap-
propriated $4,000 for good roads
in this county, and petition was
circulated and signed by a large
number of citizens Of this county
asking the county commissioners
to make a like appropriation.
So far the Commissioners have
taken no action on it, why don't
they get busy on it at once, as
the time is limited in which they
can accept of this proposition,
and lately there has been another
81 900 added to the first appro-
priation, without the county hav-
ing to put up this extra amount,
then why don't the Commission
ers accept of the first appropria-
tion that we may have a good

have all good roads in the county,
