Excitement among them, he declared, had reached the highest degree against their “fraudu- Jent treatment” by a handful of Young Turk conspirators who had attempted to play with the decision of Europe and the honor, prestige and lives of the Balkan peopl Comparison of Vatican and Adrianople. A comparison between the xatican and the Mussulmans' holy shrines in Adrignople, Dr. Daneff said, was in- admissible. The Italians, he declared, made concessions to the papacy after they had taken possession of Rome. In cage Adrianople was vanquished,who would try to impose conditions? he asked. In addition, Dr. Daneff contin- ued, the vatican was the residence of the pope and contained the tombs of apostles and former popes, while Adri- anople, with the exception of its mosques, nad nothing absolutely vital to the Mussulman people. Dr. Daneff repeated that nothing could stop a re- opening of the war except the uncon- ditional surrender of Adrianople and the Aegean Islands. Servians Say Farewell. The Servian delegates today bade farewell to Sir Edward Grey, the Brit- ish foreign minister. Stojan Novako- vitch, head of the delegation, told Sir Edward that he considered a renewal of the war inevitable, as the Bulgari- ans would not be satisfied with any thing short of the surrender of Adri- anople.

A news agency despaich received here today from Constantinople reported that the Turkish delegates had been ordered home, but the command has not vet been received here. It seems that only the good offices of the pow- ers can avert a further resort to arms, but thus far these apparently have falled. Both Sides Accused of Bluffing. Even at this late hour each side to the dispute is accusing the other of bluffing. The Turks declare that in their note to the powers Thursday the allies_ were given greater concessions as a basis for resuming the peace ne- gotiations than they had expected to be made them at the commencement of the peace negotiations. The allles prac- tically admit this, but they say what would have been acceptable even a fortnight ago canhét néw be enter- tained and that the Turkish game obviously is to lead them by the nose for months, counting on the allies’ financial exhaustion and hoping that fiomplicatlons will arise to favor Tur- ey. “Fraudulently Treste Dr. Daneff, head of the Builgarian delegation, said today that the feel- ings of the Balkan populations must " GRAND JURY CALLS FOR LETTERS OF RAILROADS.
