Dec. 30.—With the dead lock firmer than at any previous time and with the possibility of a resumption of hostilities looming up with menacing distinctness, the negotiations into the Turko-Balkan peace conference were resumed today in St. James palace. Rechid Pasha, speaking for the Turk ish envoys, told the representatives of the allies that he had communicated with Constantinople, but received no instructions which would allow him ami his colleagues to withdraw from the stand they had taken. This reply an- I gered the plenipotentiaries of the al ! | lies, who pointed out that, the Turks ] were clothed with all the power neces- ] sary without wasting t ime by calling j upon the Porte for fresh instructions every time an obstacle arose. The Turks insisted that they were justified in demanding the retention of Adrian ople, because “It was being bravely de fended” when hostilities came to a close. Allies Look Grave. Today’s session did not .begin ufitil after noon and during the morning the delegates representing the allied gov ernments conferred at the quarters of j the Greek delegates. Premir Venizelos, of Greece, presided at the meeting, and, after it broke up. th gravity of the con ferees Indicated that the Balkan en voys had resolved on a bold step. Dr. Daneff, of the Bulgarian envoys, sounded a note of warning before the conference was resumed. “We desire peace, but we do not de sire to fight for it unless forced to,” said Dr. Daneff “If we are compelled to resume hos tilities, Turkey must be prepared to ac | eept no quarter and some of the repre sentatives of the allies have been treat- | led- unjustly by the Turkish envoys. We I have appealed to the British foreign of | tic, for counsel and we are advised to put up with certain obstructions in view of the traditions of the Turkish diplomacy. Patience About Gone. "However, our forbearance is about exiiausted. We are being chided by our own countries, and unless we force an issue we will look ridiculous in the eyes of the world. "Our armies have kept the field and we are able to resume the war upon an hour’s notice.’’ The deadlock in the peace conference is again menacing the tranquility of Europe, as no definite steps will be taken to settle issues arising from the Balkan war until it is seen whether peace or continuation of war is to re sult from the London conference. Reports frojn Vienna stated that Russia had again begun troop move ments to the southwestern frontier and that Roumanla had resumed mobiliza tion of her army. EUGENE A. POOLE, PAINTER, DIES.
