CONSTANTINOPLE, Jan. 30. The
Balkan allies today gave notice of the i
tei initiation of the armistice, the pcrjod
of grace of four days to start -at 7 o'clock
this evening.
The Turkish government displays a
spirit of compromise In Its reply to the
note handed to It by the representatives
of the European powers on January 17.
The response .was presented today by
Mahinoud Shefkct Pasha,' the grand vl
ler, to' Margrave Johann Von Pallavlclnl,
dean of the diplomatic Corps In the Turk
ish capital. -
The porte stipulates for the retention
by TurHey oTJliose quartern of the-fortress
.of Adrtanbple In"rdCH'MHc tiolr
shrlne..ajc situated. It proposes lo leav
in the hands of the powers the disposal

At the same lime, the Ottoman govern

I.earra Intuilnr Question to Power.
In reference to the Turkish Islands In
the Aegean sea, the document Insists on
the malntenanee of Turkish sovereignity
there, owing to the proximity of the
Ulands to the Turkish mainland, but It
Intimates the rcadlneBS of tho Ottoman
government to leave the settlement of

The reply takos note of the promises I
made by the European powers In their !
recent Joint communication Vespectlngj
the giving or aid in tne ruiure ooveii

which compel the porte to stand out for
the retention at all events of that portion
of Adrlanople containing the sacred
shrines, a're recapitulated at tho end of
the reply, which Is n lengthy document
of four pages, written In French.
Civil Wnr In Turkey Probable.
LONDON, Jan. 30. Events In the Bal
kan peninsula, are moving with Mich
rapidity that the world, may soon be
confronted, not with the question of
peace or war,, but with a catastrophu
which will lead Turkey Into a tremendous
clvjl war.
Those who know the Ottoman empire
believe that the revolt among tl Turkish
troops on the TchutalJa lines was much
more grave than was announced In the
short vdlspatches passed by the censor
Close observers of events In Turkey eT"- I
pect that similar revolts will occur In j
tlie Asiatic provinces, where the elements ,
opposing the Young" Turks are stronger
than In European Turkey.

J'INCOUN, Jan. 80. (Hpeotal.) Discus
siou of thu consolidation of the I'nlVei
slty of Nobuiska with the university fai.n
at the farm has reached the acute stage
The senate spent the afternoon Inspect
Int the town campus, while the lionjr
declined to nccept the Invitation of His
chancellor, on tho theory that It was .1
wasto of time.
Tho discussion Is over the cost of the
consolidation, whether It Is cheaper and
better to buy more land adjoining the
present campus or construct all th nct
buildings needed nt th farm, and grad
ually move the entire town Institution
to tho fnim, whero there Is' plenty if
room. It Is conceded on nil sides that
at present the Institution needs new
buildings and more ground.
To Bceuro six blocks east of the present
campus and a portion of ground adjoin
ing the athletic field would cost the statq
$iO0,tKX). This added ground would give
the town campus thirty acres, the next
to the smallest campus for a unlvcrsit.)
In tho country. This JOOO.OOO Is the ap
praised value of this ground. Including,
of course, the buildings upon It. To re
move the buildings, however, so the re
gents have learned by experience, costs
about the value of them. The regent
paid IVT.SOO for two and one-half acres
for the athletic field, bo the value placid
on this other ground by the appraisers
Is considered very conservative.
Cost or Present IMnnt.
Tho orlglnnl cost of all the bulldlnast
on tho town grounds, Including the tern
Plo, which wus a gift to the state, wni
1985,361. To dllpllcute the floor space nt
tho state farm In modern fireproof build
ings, no the best authorltlei estimate,
would cet about looaooo.
To, buy tho needed laud for-"the town
campus and construct necder ti build,

Interest, Iu twenty-five ye::rs would
amount to approximately J2,000,000.
To build nny more structures on the
town site would mean tho building up ot
two big Institutions. The saving (n rjn
nlng expenses of tho two Institutions In
the opinion of those who have Investi
gated, If they are consolidated, within
llfteen years would pay for the coat ot
thu new buildings.
Tho Institution receives money from the
government for every student of tho ug
i (cultural college. It Is not generally
known, far Instance, that since 1S81 the
state has received from the agricultural
and .Morrill fund l,'-o0,0')0. The per cap
ita cost of the students of the agricultural
college Inst year was J123.S6 and tho gov
ernment paid the college $M for every
boy and girl registered In this college,
or 'J-D more than th ccxpense of tho
schooling.
Time mi .Street Curs.
There are t30 students taking work at
both tho university and the farm and
these students In four years spent seventy
days on the street cars between the two
(ntttutloii.
It Is the Idea of the regents that If the
siliools-iire consolidated at tho farm more
students will lako the agricultural course,
and thus much inoie financial aid will
bo received from the government and
there will be nn Immense saving to tho
taxpayers lu running expenses and It
will save tho taxpayers from building up
two big Institutions where one Is suf
ficient. K.VHMPTIUX
