Whether the vessel could be saved was problemati- cal. Wrecking steamers planned to pull on her at high tide. The steamer is stuck bow on, with seventeen fathoms of water under her stern. The bow plates were ripped open and No. 1 hold is water filled. The vessel's position is only a few hundred yards from the lighthouse at Chebucto head, where the keeper de- clares he was blowing his fog horn when the vessel struck. The rescue of the Uranium’s pas- sengers was accomplished by lifeboats from Chebucto head and by transfer to the government steamer Lady Laurier, which was prompt to reply to wireless signals.

HOPEFUL SIGN IS SEEN Summoning of Grand Council at Con- stantinople Believed to Indicate That the Porte is Not Ready to Re- sume Fighting. London, Jan. 14.—The issue of Peace or war will rest with Constan- tinople after the final drafting of the note to the Ottoman government which will be settled at the day’s meeting of the ambassadors at the British foreign office. The convocation of the Turkish a sign in If Turkey were ready for war the calling together of the council would be unnecessar, Like that’ of 1878, at the time of the Rus- so-Turkish war, the grand council appears destined to share with the Turkish cabinet the respon- sibility of making peace on this oc- casion by yielding the fortress of Adrianople. This, however, is not the view held by the Ottoman peace delegates here, who persist in the opinion that noth- ing can possibly induce the porte to renounce the historic Mohammedan capital. Suggest Collective Note. The envoys of the Balkan allies ex- press the opinion that the note draft- ed by the European powers would ac- quire greater weight if presented to the Ottoman government collectively by all the European ambassadors in Constantinople. They think that if it should be presented by the Austro- Hungarian ambassador in his capac- ity as dean of the diplomatic corps it might lose importance owing to the Austrian bitterness against some of the Balkan states. The negotiations continue between M. Jonescu, minister of the interior of Roumania, and Dr. S. Daneff, lead- er of the Bulgarian peace delegation. It seems that Bulgaria questions Rou- mania’s neutrality and it is declared she is able to prove that Bucharest allowed 800 trucks of war material from Germany to pass through Rou- manian territory on the way to Tur- key.

It was learned from a semi-official present ‘source that Bulgaria had completed negotiations in London for a $28,000,- 000 loan. It was declared this money would be used to carry on renewed war against Turkey. WILSON SELECTS HIS ESCORT New Jersey Cavairy in Place of Honor at Inaugural.
