The sul- tan is practically powerless and Kia- mil Pasha himself is under strictest gurveillance by henchmen of Enver Bey. The authorities feared to arrest him ‘after the indignant protest that wert wp all over Constantinople after the @ssassination of Nazim Pasha. The populace is convinced that the commander-in-chief was brutally mur- @ered in accordance with a well planned plot. That the day would see bloody in- teracine war and strife in Constan- tinople was confidently expected. Three regiments were reported on their way to Stambou! from the Tcha- talja lines to reinstate Kiamil Bey and his cabinet. The highest army officers distrust Enver Bey and are in sympathy with @he military program of the Young Turks. The ambassadors of the powers Bhave refused to recognize the revolu- @ionary government and will have mothing to do with Enver Bey. They @penly snubbed Mahmud Shelket Pasha, the Enver Bey grand vizier, at the reception in his own house, and @eclined to discuss the Balkan situa- tion either formally or informal. They have demanded that the porte immediately answer the joint note from the powers. FROM A BRITISH VIEWPOINT @utiook for Peace in the Baikans Is Said to Be Dark. London, Jan. 28.—Renewed fighting Ym the Balkans, which is regarded as ® possibility, will not occur until next eek, if at all. Dr. Daneff, the Bulgarian, informed the ambassadors gathered at the for- @ign office that the Balkan envoys would hold in abeyance for’ three @ays their determination to terminate the armistice. The Bagtche protocol provided that whould either side desire to end the e@rmistice four days’ notice. should be iven before warfare was resumed. The allies will respect this agree- Ment, so that fighting cannot begin Sor a week, should the Turks fail to ‘@o anything to alter the determina- jiion of the ailies. The Balkan peace delegates, at a fermal conference, decided unani- sly to terminate the armistice ‘eement. The outlook for peace admittedly Nwas dark from the British viewpoint.

The resolution would authorizé the appointnisat of a special committee of -deven mertbera to in- quire into the conditions surrounding the garment making -_ and the re- cent strike.

The precincts of the house of com- mons presented many of the features of a well defined encampment when the house met to bring to a conclu- sion the current chapter of the work for the enfranchisemeént of women. Mounted and foot police were every- where in great strength. Two thou- sand patroimea and 100 mouated men were on duty, while reserves were | hidden in convenient courtyards ready to pounce on suffragettes who attempt- ed to break the peace. Leave of ali the other policemen belonging to the Metropolitan force had been stopped. After the speaker's ruling it was only a question whether the cabinet would announce its capitulation before or after the vote had been taken on Sir Edward Grey’s amendment. The amendment called for the omission of the word “male” and thus practically | introduced adult suffrage. Asquith Aske Definite Ruling. At the opening of the session Pre- mier Asquith asked the speaker to state again in more definite form that if any of the women’s amendments were carried the franchise bill would become substantially a new bill and” would have to be withdrawn. Mr. As- quith announced the cabinet would not prolong the discussion under the circumstances, but would drop the bill + The government, he added, within the lifetime of the present parliament, would proceed with bills dealing with electoral reform and plural voting. Premier Asquith repudiated the sug- gestion that the government had been guilty of sharp practice regarding the question of woman suffrage. He de- clared members of the cabinet had honestly endeavored to carry out their pledge to challenge a decision from the house on woman suffrage. The government, he continued, had now pledged itself to give to a wotiaa suf- frage bill to be introduced by a pri- vate member next session the same facilities it had given to the contro- versible government measure, allow- fig’ members complete frsedom to vote. in accordance -with thetr individual predilections. After the govermment decision had become known Mrs. Pankkurst stated that the women could not accept fer a moment the —— of a private member's ‘bit.

London, Jan. 28.—The Irish home Tule bill came up for second reading and debate in the house of lorde) ‘The Measure was passed by the commons ten days ago with the overwheiming majority of 110 for tee government. That the lords would reject the bill was certain, but it would be an im- potent rejection. Under the veto Premier Asquith will merely have to get his home rule bill through the commons three times and it will automatically become a law, regardless of the lords’ rejection.

The duke, who takes great interest in science, had expressed a desire to meet Dr. Ed- ward Goodrich Acheson, the Ameri- can’ acientist, who recently lectured before the Imperial Technological so- | clety. This action of the grand duke is taken as an indication that the denun- tween Russia and the United States is not resented by the Russian gov- ernment.

Washington, Jan. 28.—Not only has the parcel post saved the people of the United tates in the first fifteen days of its existence more than a half million dollars, according to Sen- ator Bourne, author of the law, but it has not proved a hardship to thé overworked letter carriers.

Tariff Befor Before Ways and Means Committee. DEEP CUT IS PROPOSED Manufacturers and Others Appear in Opposition to the Democratic Idea of Slashing Duties Fifty Per Cent and) More. Washington, Jan. 28.—Demaocratic plans for downward revision of sched- ule K, the woo! section of the tariff, one of the most complicated features to come before the extra session of congress, were under fire before the! house committee on ways and means. General expectation among house Democrats is that the committee will report at the outset of the extra ses- | sion virtually the same woolen sched- | ule as was incorporated in the wool bill that passed the house at the first | and second sessions of this congress, was amended in the senate last sum- mer, compromised in conference and vetoed by President Taft. The aver- age ad valorem duty on the schedule in the present law is almost 6 per cent. The Democratic bill would tax Taw wool 20 per cent ad valorem. As compromised in conference be- tween the two houses last Auguat, the duty on raw wool was shifted from the proposed 20 per cent to 29 per cent ad valorem, which President Taft, in his second veto, declared was insufficient to meet the difference in the cost of production of the low- priced wools here and abroad in the case of four-fifths of the total woot clip in this country. His contention was that the minimum ad valorem should be 35 per cent and that the proposed lower rates would throw thousands of workmen out of employ- ment. The witnesses represented the Na- tional Association of Wool Manufac- turers, growers, importers, clothiers and independent manufacturers, Frank P. Bennett of Boston,’ editor of the American: Woo! and Cotton Re- porter, angued ' for’ the : re-enactment of the Wilson law of 1894 at the cat- set of the hearing.
