LONDON, Jan. 14. Tho decision deft-
tattely to break up the peace conference
In London slmultiiheously with tho pree
'ehtation to tho Turkish government of
jthe note of European powers was reached
today by the chiefs of tho peace deldga
jtions of tho Balkan allies.
Tho resolution of the representatives of
jRulgario, Oreoce, Montenegro and Servla
wJH be communicated to the porta In a
formal note.
The 'threatening note of the allies to
,the Turks Is to be worded in such, a way
that it will become effective only In tha
pvent of the Ottoman government refus
ing compliance with the advice given to
it by th ambassadors ot the European
lowers.
Poircn' Note Colorleaa.
The members ot the Balkan league are
of tho opinion that the note drafted by
the European diplomats Is so diluted
that It requires the admixture of a
vitalizing tonic and this, they think, will
toe supplied by their threat to continue-
.hostilities.
At the same time It was decided to In
struct .the commanders of the armed
forces of the allies, in the field to termi
nate tho armistice which has been In
operation since December 3.
Since that date, hostilities between Bui
'garla and Servla on the one side and
Turkey on tho other have entirely ceased.
Greece, wh'ich did not sign the armistice
protbeal, however, has continued fight
ing against Turkey, both on sea and
land,,with varying success.
Montenegro, also which was nominally
a party to tho armistice, has been en
gaged in tho Interim in many severe
8klrmlshcs with the troops forming tbe
garrison of the Turkish fortress of
Bcutari, which shows no sign of yielding.
It is believed that . Ottoman troops there,
lmost o whom form port of the regular
army..ar fairly well provided with food
and ammunition, as Scutari was always
la great center of the .grain trade, and the
'Turkshare a. considerable arsenal there.
Many FigRta nt Jnnlna.
; Janlna, in the south of Kplrus, was the
it-allying point for a largo force of Turk-
fish troops who escaptJ from Monastlr
,jnd other places 'in Macedonia and Al
' Ibanla. The Oreeks have clewed all ap
roroacbes to the fortress from the south,
(but to the north and west the communl-
(options are still open and tho Turks there
'are able to obtain supplies.
Conflicting reports as to conditions In
the great fortress of Adrlanople are cur
ent, but It appears evident that the Turk
ish troops and Inhabitants of the city
are suffering from disease and lack ct
supplies. They have been besieged over
since the last week of October by the
Bulgarians who have since been rein
forced by large bodies of Servians fresh
from their victories on the other side of
"the Balkan peninsula.
Great Army ut Tchalajn.
Before the Tchalaja lines defending
Constantinople there is a great army of
'Bulgarians, who are strongly entrenched,
(and , fronting them are large bodies of
Turkish troops, some of them the reiti
jnants of the defeated armies which fled
before the advance from tho Bulgarians
jand others fresh troops brought up from
the Turkish provinces. of Asia Minor.
The funds in the Ottoman treasury are
Insufficient to meet the coupons of the
(Turkish 5 per cent loan of 1806, which is
'due today, but tho Imperial Ottoman bank
has made arrangements to assure Its pay
ment) Tho loan amounted to JH.876,000
and the amount still outstanding as un
redeemed is $13,276,000.
Thn flnnnnlsl ntftlll r A fltl tlin Turkish
government Is so great at the present'

months is under consideration.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 14. "Tills country
can never have a sound monetary system
without u central bank," declared Festus
O. Wade of St. Louts, a member of tho
bahking and currency committee of the
American Bankers' association, today be
fore the house currency reform commit
tee. Mr. Wade said tho so-cauea Aiaricn
plan proposed the best system that haJ
come under his observation.
Chairman Glass said the democratic
party's declaration against tho Aldrtch
plan practically precluded the considera
tion of the central bank feature una
asked for an opinion on a Bystem of di
visional reserve bank, supervised by a
central board.
"You may be able to work that out,
tho witness replied, "but the Bystem will
not be sound without the central bank."
Mr. Wade Insisted democratic opposition
to a central bank was largely sentimental
and rocommended that the committee re
port a measure similar to tho Aldrlch bill.
"Whether it is sentiment or the ghost
of Andrew Jackson," replied Chairman
Glass, "there is an Insurmountable po
litical obstacle to tho Aldrlch plan."
Proposes Currency Hank.
James E. Ferguson, a banker of Temple
Tex., submitted a bill to establish In con
nection with the office Of the comptroller
of tho currency "the currency bank of
the United States" with eight branch ja
to be known as "currency stations," and
authorize the Issue of $700,000,000 In cur
rency by the United States government.
The plan contemplated tho loan of cur
rency o banks on commercial paper ut
C per cent Interest. Mr. Ferguson said
only an elastic currency Issued by th)
government Itself would meet panic con
ditions. Two Republicans Help
Democrats Organize
House in Wyoming
CHEYENNE, AVyo., Jan. 14. A bi
partisan organization with the avowrd
purpose of defeating the re-election Jf
United States Senator Warren appeared
In the Wyoming house of representatives
today.
M. L. Pratt, republican, who refused to
enter the republican caucus, was' elected
temporary speaker, receiving tho sup
port of all the democratic members and
one other republican. The democrats were
Joyous after this coup and said that
Warren will surely be dceratcu.
In the senate the republicans had a safe
majority for Giraey II. Sago as presi
dent pro tern.
Republicans, as yesterday, are not ad
mitting that Pratt and ManBon will con
tinue to vote and work with the dem
ocrats against tho rc-clecttqn of Senator
Warren and for hts opponent, John 13.
Kendrick of Shorldan. Tho senate 1b
safely republican, with a majority of flvo.
With tho democratlcprogreBslve organi
sation adopted throughout, from speaker
to page, there is unquestioned power in
the democrats, together with Pratt, and
Manson to determine three contests for
seats against the republicans.
This would mean that on Joint ballot.
with democrats taking tho place of the
contested republicans in the house and
Manson and Pratt voting with tho dem
ocrats, the latter could muster forty-throe
votes for Kendrick to forty-one repub
lican votes for Warren.

feels deeply grieved nt tho way the gov
ernor Is working things and says It will
mean disaster to the democratic- party In
the future.
Mr. Parry l Sore.
"i have been a worker In the party,"
said Mr. Parry, "for moro than twenty
five years and have never asked any
favors. I have frequently heard it said
that democrats wero horse thieves, and
so I thought I would come up to Lincoln

great deal of time for Governor Moro

good right off the reel, but I want to say
right here that I am greatly disappointed
in him and his method ot doing tilings.
"I wish to say," continued Mr, Parry,
"that I heurd tha two messages of the
governors and admire the stand takoa
by Governor Aldrlch and the way he de
livered his message. He appeared to bo
at all times for good government. The
message of Governor Morehead was also
good as a general thing, but his actions
since the message was delivered con
vinces many of us that he is going to
handicap the legislature and that thay
will be unable to get through this sesalori
with very much credit to the party.
Beea Trouble Ahead.
"There has been a hard fight among
the democrats here to arrive at a condi

good legislation, but Governor Morehead
has done more to Bpoll the chances for. a
successful session 'than nnythltjg that
could happen, and If the election was to
be held over he would be defeated by Mr.
Aldrlch easily.
"I am an ardent suppoiter of William
