London, Dee. II.?The peace con?
ference waa In session only a abort
Ilm? today. The Turkish delegates
announced that fresh Instructions had
been dispatched from Constantinople
by special courier, therefore, adjourn?
ment until Saturday was taken, by
which time the Instructions should
reach Ixmdon
News comes from the Ottoman
capital tonight that the government
le empowering the delegatee to pro?
ceed with the negotiations with the
Q reeks as well as the Balkan pleni?
potentiaries. This decision tends to?
ward peace, ae there hae been a sus?
picion that Turks were manoeuvring
far time, so that they might strength?
en tkelr army
The conference now is In exactly
the same position as the Portsmouth
conference after the first week's work.
"The different parties are dally feeling
the way before striking a decisive
blew.
Rleehad Paaha strongly recalls
Count Witt's shrewdness, while the
Oreek premier, Veneseloe, can be
compared with Oomura on account of
hie oeol attitude and unshaken calm
nose. There are of very Interest?
ing personalities. Dr. Daneff, chief of
the Bulgarian delegation, like an
American politician. Novakavltch, the
Lex-premier of Servta, 1? sn experlenc
red statesman; the Montenegrin Ml
yuakovu. h, a keen diplomatist.
After the sitting today some of the
Balken delegatee expreeaed disgust at
the way affairs were dragging while
ares arm lee and three besieged towna
were enduring all the suffering of
war and the respective oountrlea were
the prey of desolation, misery and
death.
A Bulgarian delegate observed that
the T?rke were much mistaken if
they delayed the conference hoping
to strengthen their army with troops
from Asia. These reinforcements
were chiefly composed of undisciplin?
ed Based-Basouks, who would prove
a serious danger to the Turks.
la the meantime the allies are con?
centrating greater forces along the
TehalaUja front to enable them. It
war Is resumed, to arrive at Constan?
tinople SJSthtS a few d:?ya.
The prevailing opinion is that the
twloui postponement* are aiming at
Intervention by the powere Turkey
hopes to obtain better terms through
the powers, some of whom have pre
domlnajit Interests In ths Ottoman
empire. Besides, Turkey would con
older it less humiliating to cede ter?
ritory on pressure from tke powers
thaa at the command of those Bal?
kan States which were depicted to the
Mussulman world until recently as
negligible quantities.
The Balkan delegates, especially the
Servians and Montenegrins, expressed
dissatisfaction with the statement
Wednesday by Marquis Dl Ban Oul
hiao, ths Italian foreign minister, con?
cerning the alms of the Triple Alb?
ane, and remark that Italy had a
I unique position towards the Balkan
ties, bavin*; herself risen from noth
la - to a nationality throgh the union
of kingdoms They expected her sup?
port In a similar movement by the
Balkan states, whese resurrection Is
now occurring as predicted by the
great Italian thinker and agitator,
Otussrlppe Maxxlni. when. In his let?
ters In the middle of the 18th century,
he foreeaw the Balkan peoples unit?
ing to expel ths Turks from Europe.
The delegates ^JaJ-ru! that the
Italian govern- ' ,r?s followed a
policy strongly favorable to Austria,
by renewing tbe Triple Alliance seven
mon.hs before tbe date of Its expira?
tion and has made its staement
tbereon Just at tbe moment wben the
fate of the Balkans was being de?
cided, while at the same time the
Italian people are favorable to the
Balkan case and the Italian reign?
ing house Is Intimately bound to thoee
<if Montenegro and Bervla.
The Greek propossls will be more
complicated than those of the other
allies becase they include the ques?
tion of capitulations which Greece
alone among the Balkan states en
Joys in Turkey with the great powers.
The capitulations, originally imposed
on Turkey by tbe republic of .Genoa in
1563, Include exemption from taxa?
tion for foreign subjects, special
courts and other privileges.
Greece Is ready to accept a clause
In the treaty with Turkey promising
to renounce the right to the capitula?
tions If the other powers do the same.
Important papers came to the
Greek plenipotentiary today, brought
by a special messenger.

TERMIN Ali PROPERTY SOON TO

RAILROAD SYSTEM.
Not IJkely to Try any Ferry Scheme
?Experience et Savannah is Oiled
as Sufficient to Preclude Such.
Charleston, Dec. 19.?Simultaneous?
ly with the movement of the business
men to lnduco the Seaboard Air Line
to enter Charleston, the railroad sys?
tem Is working on Its own plans to
come Into Charleston and It is also
stated that the impelling reason of the
Valk A Murdoch Iron Works buying
the Pregnall shipyard property is
that its plant might be moved, clear?
ing the site of the Seaboard for de?
velopment for use.
It is presumed that in view of the
early removal of the iron works plant,
the Seaboard Air Line is not to delay
much longer Its entrance Into Charles?
ton. There Is no accredited represen?
tative of the railroad system here, au?
thorized to discuss the plans and pur?
poses of the Seaboard, and the other
parties to the clearing of the site of
the railroad are not willing to tell
what they have heard or know of the
progress of arrangements for the
coming of the railroad.
The Seaboard owns a large tract of
water front property, running from
Hasell street north, and taking In the
Bennet rice mill buildings and
wharvea This is a very desirable
piece of terminal property. It was ac?
quired several years age, and aside
from giving space for terminal devel?
opment, it puts the Seaboard Air Line
on Concord street, the original plan?
ned railroad avenue of Charleston's
water front, which is of itself an ad?
vantage to the railroad corporation.
It has been generally rumored that
the Seaboard would enter Charleston
by way of Mount Pleasant, using a
ferry service for Its freight business,
if not the passenger as well. It Is said
that several large tracts of terminal
property which have changed hands at
Mount Pleasant In the past few years
have this ultimate use, but there are
other people who profess to know that
the costly experience of a similar ser?
vice of the Seaboard at Savannah will
prevent the railroad from attempting
such service at Charleston. It has been
stated that the Seaboard Air Line will
build to Charleston from Sumter while
others argue that the connection will

Charleston Is not particular as to
the route by which the Seaboard Air
Line enters, so long as It comes and

of the kind Is about to happen are
I most satisfying news to the people of
I Charleston.

OFFICIAL OF SHORT BALLOT AS?
SOCIATION IN CITY.
Ijcading Organization for Promotion
of Ffhcirncy In Municipal Govern?
ment Semds Assistant Secretary
Hese to Obu?u First Hand Informa?
tion Relative to Inauguration of
Oeneral Manager Plan.
From The Daily Hem, Dec. 20.
Mr. H. S. Gllbertson, Assistant
Secretary of the Short Ballot Asso?
ciation, which has headquarters in
New York, is in the city today for
the purpose of making an investiga?
tion of the Sumter Plan of Municipal
Government and confer with the com?
mission in reference to the practical
operations of this modern and busi?
ness-like system of city administra?
tion.
The Short Ballot Association is an
organization of distinguished public
men and earnest students of muni?
cipal problems, who have handed to?
gether to create a nation-wide inter
?St in efficiency, honesty and business
methods in municipal affairs. The
Short Ballot Association has evienced
, great interest in the Sumter Plan from
the time the enabling act was
passed by tlie Legislature, and through
Its officers has made many useful
suggestions. The association has
been active in disseminating infor?
mation of the General Manager plan
of city government inaugurated by
Sumter and the greater part of the
favorable publicity the Sumter Plan
reecived in every section of the coun?
try has been due to the bulletins sent
I out by the Association. The visit of
Mr. Gllberteon to Sumter is but
another evidence of the deep interest
the Short Ballot Association feels In
the success of the Sumter Plan and
shows that the men who are giving
most earnest though to reform in
municipal government, desire to ob?
tain exact information as to the prac?
tical operation of the Sumter Plan.
The Association is not only desir?
ous of obtaining information, but
will gladly render any assistance pos?
sible to make Sumter's great un?
dertaking a success. Mr. Gllberteon
spent the morning going through the
hundreds of letters from applicants for
the position of City Manager receiv?
ed by the Chamber of Commerce in
response to the advertisement sent
sent out by that body early In Oc
tot>er. He *?xpre*?scd himself jls b".h
surprised nd gratified a<. the lar^e
number of applications and the high
i lass of m< n who d< sire to engage la
municipal work under a Lusir- ?
like and non-political system. The
letters, In Mr. Gflbertson's opinion,
are conclusive proof that the cities
and towns that seriously undertake to
run their governments as a business
and not as a political machine, will
have no difficulty in retaining the ser?
vices of trained men of the highest
type who have established reputations
for efficiency In the business world,
where success is won by efficiency
and business ability and not by poli?
tical pull.
Mr. Gllbertson will meet Mayor
Jennings by appointment this after?
noon and if Councilman Rowland re?
turns to the city by that hour he will
also be present. Councilman Booth
is absent from the city. Mr. Gllbertson
had planned to retrun to New Ywrk
tonight but it is possible that he may
remain ia the city toomrrow to com?
plete his investigation and collect
data. It is the Intention of the Short
I'allot Association to keep in close
tou'-h with the development and op?
eration of the Sumter Plan and will
probably issue other Sumter Plan
bulletins for the Information of the
many interested students of muni?
cipal affairs.
Mrs. Harold Bradley, of Braun,
was in the city Friday.
