The parcels post law, of Which so much has been written in the papers and said during the past two years, is about to go into effect. On January iirst and thereafter all parcels, or fourth class matter must have par pels post stamps on them or they Will be held, at the postorhee until the new owner can call for them and pro? vide the special stamps for the ;>ack ag.-. Ahe local po8tofflce has received a *UM>ly of the parcels post stamps and w1|| place them on sale on January 1,WU3, when the parcels post law goea into effect. After that time any stamps on packages other than par ctdJM^ost stamps will be useless. The ^tmrceTs post provides for the carry? ing ttt^ouKh the mails of all parcels Containing mailable matter weighing less fchan 11 pounds. The rate has been' fixed in the regulations and va? ries according to the zone to which the package is sent, there being eight zones in the United States. In the lo? cal ?Vrfte the rate is cheapest and the cost of sending the packages increas? es w^th the distance it is sent. All packages sent must be deliver? ed-, at the postoillee where they w 11 be W*iged and the proper stamps pro? vided. No parcel can be registered, although provision is made for in? juring it at the same cost as for reg? istering packages heretofore. >.'o parcel must exceed 72 inches in com? bined kngth and girth to be se:nt through the mail.

Dec. 27.?Turkey's reply to the demands made several days ago by the Balkan allies as a basis for peace in southeastern Europe will bo delivered tomorrow to the peace t onference in St. James' palace. In? terest, however, again has shifted from this phase of the stiuation and is centered tonight in the question of what are the intentions of Austris with respect to the Balkan states. The peace delegates are prepr ^ to confirm the fact that sever government and its counter p startling though the latter ina. . as simply points for future negotiations It is well known that Turkey has not the least hope of obta'ning what she will demand and also that she has no intention of resuming a war whic". may result in further disaster to her. This aspect of the situation seems to conform the fact that several ef? forts have been made unofficially by Turkish delegates to get the Montene? grin, Servian and Greek delegates to secede from the demand that Adri anople be surrendered, promising in return that Turkey will not object to their respective enlargement ? territo? rially. These advices and reports emanating from Constantinople that Bulgaria is negotiating with Turkey independently are considered as an at? tempt to divide the allies. Representatives of the Balkan States, however, heve resisted all temptations placed 1?"? thelf way aii? today presented as unded a front as they did the first day of the negotia? tions and are just as determined as ever to have their own way .In con eluding peace.
