the negotiations will !e mediation by
the European powers.
May Yield Under Pressure
I'nder the pressure of Europe, the
Turkish government, it is thought,
will be able to meet the hostility in
Turkev to the giving up of the fortress
of Adrianople, with the" pTc that it
had been forced to yield by the pow
ers, Should this be tbe llnal solution of
the problem, Turkey will get a larg
er slice of the province of Thrace than
the Balkan allies were llrst disposed
to give her.
Aegean Islands for Greece.
i In regard to the islands in the
I Aegean Sea, if the powers should exert
I their will their islands will go to
I Greece with the exception of four or
five nf them in the vicinity of the
entrance to the Dradanelles straits.

j absolutely made up the'r minds not
rto surrender the fortress oi Adriano

u An explicit and categorical decla-
n ration to this effect was prepared for
tft- submission at todaj s session of the
0 peace conference in Si James pa -ace.
The Turks, however, may make
some further concession in the prov
ince of Adrianople. The delegates of
Bulgaria, Greece, Montenegro and Ser
bia met at 3:30 .this afternoon to con
sider their attitude in view of the
ptobable Turkish reply to their de-
mand tor a derision on the question of'

France. Germany, Italy and Rus-
ia resumed their conversations" at

'lay. when tin v began considering the)
questions Involved in the crisis whirr-1
has been reached in the peace nego
tiations The attitude of the Balkan allies'
during today's session of the confer- 1
nee was foreshadowed by Dr S
Daneff, chief of the Bulgarian delega-
ytion; who stated:
We expect thai the Turks will be
unable to cir. ,,s acceptable condi
tions The negotiations will then be j
broken off. We have an armv which !
can continue the war."
d Br. Daneff added a phrase which i

European powers we cannot prevent
them from doing so ."
It is believed to be the intention
of Turkey to i l i on the question of
l ho island of Crete and to cede to the
Balkan allies all her rights there
Should the Turkish allir-s unexpeel

Sleepless Nights
Washington, Jan 4. With final ad
journment of the sixty-second con
th's exa'tly to months awa, the

' endar and grist of supply bills that
promised weary da; s and sleepless
nights for the legislators up to the
final moment of the session.
nh a single appropriation bill, 'be
legislative, executive and judicial
supply measure, has been passed by
the house The Indian appropriation
,hill is now under consideration and
; it should be completed earlv next
jweek. The bis appropriation meas-
iM s. which involve a vast amount of
detail likely lo cause lengthy discus
sion are still to come. The postoffke
appropriation bill has been reported
: from the omniittee and is awaltins
a 1 ion by the house.
Army and Navy Bills Waiting
Tbe military affairs committee has
practically completed tbe army bill,
which is expected to develop consid
erable friction. Hesides these there
remrjm the naval appropriation bill
1 with its prospects for a light on the
battleship program, the military acad
emy bill, the agricultural appropria
tion bill, the fortifications appropria
tion bill, the voluminous sundry civil
bill, and the two so-called "pork bar
rel" bills for river and harbor im
provement, and public buildings.
Night Sessions May Be Called.
