It is said that the coup @ etat was only intended to occur after Kiamil Pasha surrendered Adri- anople, but was precipitated by some mistake. Hence the difficulty the min- istry now is in. Country Drifting to Ruin. “There is not a cent in the treasury and there are no means of getting money until peace is concluded, and meanwhile the country is drifting to ruin and bankruptey. ““A great anti-war demonstration oc- curred Sunday in front of the war of- fice, at which the Young Turks were publicly denounced as murderers and thieves. Mahmoud Schefket Pasha appeared on the balcony and tried to make a speech, but was greeted with opprobious epithets. Soldiers IlI-Fed, Poorly Sheltered. “The misery in the Turkish camps is indescribable. It has been bitterly cold, with a heavy snow: the soldiers are i-fed and badly sheitered. Small- pox, enteric fever, dysentery and pneu- monia have replaced Asiatic_cholera. “It_is understood that the forces at Techatalja have been reduced to 120,00, which is considered ample to defend the lines. Large reinforcements have been sent to Gallipoli, where there are now 70,000 men. There is talk of land- ing a force in the neighborhood of Rodosto, to outflank the Bulgarians, but such a scheme is impracticable. In the present state of the Turkish or- ganization the army would starve the London, Feb. 3 moment it attempted to leave the coast. Turkey’s Position Hopeless. “From a military and economic standpoint, Turkey's position is hope- less. Nothing can prevent even worse misfortunes except immediate accept- ance of the inevitable.” TO CAPTURE GALLIPOLI, ns Concentrating Efforts on the Turkish Forts There. Bulga London, Feb.s5—~The Bulgarians are dovoting ‘their chief attention to the bombardment of Adrianoole and in an attempt to capture the Gallipoli peni sula and so take the Turkish forts in the rear. An official despatch issued at Con- stantinople indicates that the Bulgari- ans have been successful in their firet operations in the latter quarter, and, according to a Sofia despatch, the cap- ture of Gallipoli is the chief object of the Bulgarian ambitions for the time being and no serious attempt will be made to force the Tchatalja lines. The same despaich says that the Bulgarian attack in Gallipoli is sup- ported by the Greek navy in the Gulf of Saros. Fifty thousand Bulgarians were landed along this coast last No- vember, and it may be presumed that during the armistice this force was strengthened by artillery. Should the Builgars capture tha Turkish forts, there is nothing to pre- vent the Greek fleet from entering the Dardanelles, where, in _the opinion of naval officers, it could easily defeat the inferior Turkish ‘fleet, in which case Constantinople would be at the mercy of the allie Peace Within a Week. Belgrade, Greek pre- mier, Eleutherios Venizelos, who had a long conference today the Ser- vian premier, M. Pachitc reported to have declared at a private banquet that peace would be concluded within a weelk: e A DIRECT TRAIL TO THE MEN HIGHER UP District Attorney Whitman Gets It Through Patrolman Fox.

New York, Feb. 5.—Although all three of Isadore Steimberg’s wives pleaded for him today, he was Sen- tenced to a year and a half in prison for bigamy.

New York, Feb. 5.—After repudiat- ing his earliér confession that he con- structed and sent the bombs that killed Mrs. Helen Taylor and endangered the life of Judge Otlo A. Rosalsky of the court of general sessions a year ago, John Paul Farrell, the apartment house janitor, who is under arrest for the murder of Mrs. Madeline Herrera in a bomb expiosion Sunday night, changed his mind as to his guilt to- night and said his original story is true. His frequent shifts of ground, his many contradictory statements and other vagaries leave little if any doubt in the minds of the authorities that, whatever may be thought of the trutx of his stories, he is not mentally re- sponsible at the present time. The police, while mystified by Far- rell's contradictory stories, say they have confirmed his connection with the bomb that killed Mrs. Herrera, but have not established his guilt of the other crimes to which he confessed. In response to circulars bearing Farrell's picture sent to all prisons within a radius of 100 miles, several re- plies were received, among them one from the warden of the prison at Wethersfield, Conn., who said he rec- ognized in Farrell 2 man who as “John MeDermott” was convicted of burglary in 1902 and sentenced to a term of 18 months.

Lockwood, a McNamara venireman. Darrow was acquitted on the Lockwood charge. The immunity feature was credited with having exercised great influeace with the jury which acquitted Darrow in the first trial. MORE DRINKING BY WOMEN THAN BY MEN.
