that under these circumstances

Sultan Unwilling.
London. Jan. 25.—A dispatch from
Constantinople to a news agency here
says:
"I learn on high authority that the
Toung Turk committee was well
aware that the sultan unwillingly gave
way to the resolve of Grand Vizier
KiamU Pasha to cede Adrlanople.
Toung Turk officers who recently were
received by the sultan left him with
the Impression that be would not ob
ject to a sudden change In the govern
ment, and that the same spirit pre
vailed In the family council tbe sul
tan recently convoked.
"A pamphlet, obviously Inspired,
bs« been distributed here. It says the
Toung Turk committee has been the
means of liberating tbe sultan and
saving the caliph from his endangered
position.
"Enver Bey wu most kindly re
ceived by the sultan, who, without
hesitation, accepted Kiamll Pasha's
resignation and appointed Toung Turk
leaders se big ministers."
Constantinople, Jan. 25.—The views
held in official circles with regard to
the situation between Turkey and the
Balkan allies may be set fourth as fol
lows:
The Turkish government does not
desire a resumption of hostilities, but
the European powers are even less
anxious to witness a renewal of the
war, owing to the danger of possible
complications in Europe. Turkey re
alises her condition of financial pen
ury, but this condition is chornlc to
her, and means always can be found
for keeping afloat.
On the other hand, from a military
standpoint Turkey is in a better con
dition than ever to wage war with ad
vantage especially as the government
believes the forces of the allies are
near the point of exhaustion. Never
theless the ports would prefer to
avoid further bloodshed, if this is hon
orably possible, and the possession of
Adrianople by the allies is not insist
ed upon.
Officials are confident that no co
ercive pressure by the powers need be
apprehended, or threats of isolated
action by Russia taken seriously, ow
ing to the possibility of such action
bringing about European' complica
tions. Under these circumstances it
Is felt here that the allies may come
to realise that Adriartople is ndP*In
dispensable to their well-being, and
especially when they observe that It Is
the determination of the entire na
tion to fight rather than to surrender
the holy city.
All the ministers were set at liber
ty today and permitted to return to
their homes.

MEN
Enter Burning Room and
Are Locked in—Badly
Burned.
Dickinson, N. D., Jan. 25:—Trapped
in a locked room by a sudden burst
of flames from a kettle of boiling lard,
and with the Are catching in their
clothing while the hot '*-d was thrown
over them, Max Lange and Archie
Belden escaped death by battering
down a door.
The men had discovered a Are in
the bakery and had gone in to inves
tigate. In the room where the big ket
tle of lard was located, was the tele
phone, and Lange was telephoning an
alarm when the lard explosion oc
cur red, blowing the door shut and
locking it securely.
Mrs. Belden, who had watched the
men enter the shop from her home
across the street, reached the building
just as the men were successful in
breaking out, and using her cloak she
threw It about the head of her hus
band, extinguishing the Are In his
clothing, while others attracted to the
scene helped Lange extinguish the
fire.
Both men were badly burned but
probably will recover.

FOR MON TICELLO IN CRUSADE
Bin. Littleton and her -ccretary with gome of the petition*.
(By Robert F. Wilson.)
Washington—Mrs. Martin W. Little
ton, wife .of the representative from
New Tork, has, as a good many people
in the United States know, an ambi
tion. That ambition is to have the*
federal government purchase and
maintain as a public memorial
Thomas Jefferson's old Virginia home
Montlcelio (pronounced Monlchello).
now the property of Jefferson M. Levy
of New Tork and CharlcfttesvlUe, Va.,
and a representative In congress from
New York.
ce,ebrtt"
ton is maintaining a Jefferson lobby
in her husband's office.
As a lobblest Mrs. Littleton is not
only unique in method. but, It may
be whispered, she is one of the fair
est who ever operated at the nation's
capital. And while this purposeful
little woman is a constant source
of amusement to the legislators, just
at present an announcement of a new
method of publicity which she in
tends to. adopt Is creating more than
a little dismay.
Mr. Levy does not wish to part *"tth
Montlcelio, which has been in his fam
ily since 1812. At each new move of
Mrs. Littleton's the pressure upon
Mr. Levy's self control becomes pro
portionately greater. As a Virginia
gentleman and the scion of Virginia
gentlemen Mr. Levy can say nothing
ungallant about a lady. But oh,. but
oh, if Mrs. Littleton were a man!
Seek Greater Strength in the
Senate—Present Control
is Too Doubtful.
Washington, Jan. 28.—Democratic
control of the next senate, which be
came a certainty when John K.
Shields was elected by the Tennessee
legislature Thursday, now rests at the
minimum strength of 48. exactly'one
half of the membership of the senate.
Democratic leaders, disappointed in
the recent loss of Senator Gardner's
seat In Maine, are now hopefully
watching Illinois, New- Hampshire,
West Virginia and Wyoming, in the
belief that a democratic senator' may
be added to the lists from some one
of these states.
The control of the senate, if no fur
ther democratic additions are made,
will be so narrow as to make action
on many contested problems, and on
tariff legislation, a matter of constant
doubt Witn Vice President Mar
shall's vote to rely upon in the case
of a tie, the democrats, will have con
trol of the state organization, .and of
general senate affairs. It is recog
nized however that on many tariff
questions, and on other matters of
general legislation, divisions within
the party after March 4 may in many
cases reduce the democratic majority
to the vanishing point.
The fight against Senator Warren In
Wyoming, the contest to upset sen
ator Fall's re-election In New Mexico,
and the effort to make some arrange*
ment that will give the democrats at
least one of the two places to be filled
in Illinois, now are holding the atten
tion of the party leaders. Democratic
control after March 4 will be Strength,

within republican ranks, and (he pres
