Daneff, the ]. ding envoy of Bulgaria. If the Turks do not wish to nego ,i with the Greek envoys,” said Dr. lianeff. "we shall meet again on the , hatal’ja lines, where the armistice ;.:, I( Hng all the belligerent governments . s ept Greece was drawn up. ■ Furthermore, if Turkey s reply to ~u r representations tomorrow is unsat isfactory, we shall break off the nego tiations.” It is understood that by a satisfacto ry reply the envoys of the allies mean a reply which will enable the delegates to begin actual consideration of de mands of both sides.

The develop ments here indicate that Turkey's do mestic policies are largely responsible for file hitch In the negotiations. After the envoys were instructed to treat vitli the Greek envoys by the Porte these instructions were subsequently withdrawn. Servians Modify \driatic Demands ■ BELGRADE. Dec.

The first ease, won in the supreme court by the Union and Me chanics club, killed the first ordinance. The court declared the citv had no right to tax a locker club under its charter. The second case was won by the city several days ago, when the supreme court upheld Judge Pendleton in refus ing to enjoin the city from proceeding against the Georgia Athletic club.
