London, April 0.?The great powers will make certain concessions to the Balkan allies in an endeavor to bring about peace. They have agreed on the reply that is to he made to the ob? jection which the allies offered as to the baala for mediation as proposed by the powers. '4'9?WL1 The concession to Bulgaria Is accep? tance of her proposal that the fron? tier of the Otto.nan empire shall be a straight line I etween Bnos and Mldla instead of following the course of the Brgene and Marltss rivers, as the powers first suggested. While reserving the status of the Aegean islands for future determffltt Hon by the powers, they seek to pla eats Greece by giving assurances that a majority of them will be ceded to her. The powers also reserve the ques? tion id' a war indemnity for settle? ment by a financial commission to meet in Paris, They insist upon fix? ing themselves the boundaries of Al? bania. King 'Nicholas of Montenegro has definitely arranged plans to abdicVite his throne if force is employed by the European powers against his little kingdom. This announcement was made in official Montenegrin circles here today. Arrangements for this action were made by Kiuk Nicholas in consulta? tion with King Peter of Servla. The agreement provides that King Nich? olas shall abdicate and with his fam? ily quit bis country. Montenegro will then effect a union with Servia, while King Nicholas and his family will be given an appropriate provision for the civil list and will reserve a right of succession to the Servo-Montenegrin throne. a dispatch from Vienna lo The Chronicle says that King Nicholas of Montenegro has been sounded by the powers as to whether he otild ac? cept Anan?lal compensation to the amount of $4,000,000 to $5,000,000 and an additional strip of coast terri? tory in consideration for his giving up all claim to Scutari. Austria, the dispatch adds, will ob? ject to granting more territory and ..ill not participate in any compensa? tion allowed. It also is learned that the allies, who have financed Monte? negro since the beginning of the war, will refuse to advance any more money.

M. C. A. GRANTED FREE \YA* TEH RENT WITH MAXIMUM OF $100. r. I*. Ward Promoted to Bcrgcancy with Irfcrease of Salary; Overhood seatv<-i(i Must Be Constructed i? Front of Moses Building?Matters Acted upon at Mooting. City Council hold its regular semi? monthly session Tuesday night, when a number of matters, mostly of lit? tle importance were brought up and some of them acted upon. Two mat? ters of general interest were the granting of free water to the Y. M. C. A. and the promotion of Policeman T. P. Ward to Sergeant with an increase of salary. The meeting was called to order by the mayor with all members of coun? cil present. The city clerk and treas? urer handed in his report for March and the report of the water works for the first quarter. These were re? ferred to Mr. Rowland to be checked up. The question of whether or not all of the water rents had been paid for the last quatrer came up and it was found that a number of the water consumers had not been cut off at the first of April, as council had di? rected. This matter was discussed for some time and a list of unpaid water rents was read to Council. The matter was settled for the time being by the passage of a resolution author? izing the superintendent of the water works department to cut off all water connectioni Wednesday where the owners of the premises had not paid their water rent for the last quarter. Chief (?f Police Suinter informed council that the police force had se? cured and was now in summer uni? form. He recommended Policeman Ward for promotion to sergeant, as a fourth sergeant was needed on the force with an increase of salary from $00 to $70. After talking over the matter the recommendation was ' adopted by council. I Matters role ting to the construction of the Perry Moses building at cor? ner of Main and Dugan streets were ( next taken up. It was decided to al ' low the claim of Mr. Moses for an I 1 inch of space on the street at this point, provided there was no en? croachment on the pavement, as it now is. It was also decided to require the contractor to put up an overbridge as soon as the walls of the building were sufficiently high for this pur? pose. Mr. Worthington stated that the building permit only allowed the I contractor the use of the street for ninety days. Permission was granted for the op? eration of an ice cream cart on the street for a license of $5.00. The city clerk was instructed to draw up an ordinance requiring all moving picture shows to have exits at the rear of their premises, as well as in front, so that in case of lire or panic the danger of injury would be lessened. A delegation of citizens on behalf j of the Y. M. C. A. appeared before council to request that body to grant the organization free water, Prof. S. H. Edmunds made an appeal on be I half of the institution in which he ' stated that other cities allowed free water to the Y. M. C. A. and gave a list of such. Other speakers on be? half of free water for the Y. M. C. A. were Messrs. R, 1. Manning, II. L. Birchard, E. L. Witherspoon, Qeo. 1). Shore, J. Ii. Chandler, all of whom, as taxpayers, were anxious that the city should gi\e the institution what ever encouragement it was aide. They represented the Y. M. C. A. as an or? ganization in which everybody was in? terested and tine for the benefit of the young men of Sumter. Mayor Jennings stated that he was in favor of granting free water up to a certain maximum. After the delegation left the matter was taken up in regular order and Mr. Rowland stated that as other cities granted tree water to their institutions, i* seem? d that Sumter should do the same. Af? ter considerable discussion it was de? elded to giant the Y. M. c. A. a re? mittance of their present bill ami to allow them i maximum of $4?to a pear lor water, the institution to pay lor all water used over that amount. The question of a sewer line on Law Hange tailed for considerable discussion. It was decided to refer the matter to the City Manager for investigation of cost ami report back tot 'ouncil, Letters from the Civic League were received and read, one in regard to the enforcement of the ordinance prohibiting the collecting of waste pa? per ? nid trash on lota and the other the enforcement of the ordinance pro? hibiting chickens from running at large on the streets and on public lots. Council advised the chief of police to see that tile llrsl of these ordinances was enforced and decided to look up its rights in the latter, before any ac? tion was taken. The police report lor the month of March was reCeived ami read. in this regard Mr. Booth stated thai be bad observed that there were policemen on the force who did not know what their duties were and requested the chief to .-=? ?? that they [studied up on the city ordinances, and if necessary to hold some kind of civil service examination! for them. I The cost of coal for the lire de? partment was discussed and it was deemed advisable to purchase a car load lot, Instead of by the ton as had I been done formerly. in going over the numerous hills I which had come in it was deemed ! advisable to write the hoard of health that notification must he given I and permission granted by the City Manager or council before supplies were purchased for the use of the Board of Health, it was also thought ; best to hold up the bill lor prescrip? tions and medicine ordered by the city physician, as the city did not con I ; sider itsell liable for these supplies, j A large number of bills were gone over and ordered paid. A request was made by Mr. L. Q. Sadler that Council allow the us.' of awnings on the streets les. than the sidewalk in width am which were j hauled up frame and all. He was j selling this ( lass of awnings which were in use in other cities. Mr. Booth was in favor of the awnings as he re? garded it in the line of progresi and made a m ?tion to allow the use of them. The < ity clerk was instructed to draw up an ordinance covering th? matter. ' Mr. Worthington stated that a re? quest had been made by tin- Sumter Lighting Company that the city pay for half of the cost for wire and tel? ephone poles in erecting the light on Chestnut street. This request was re jfused. Mrs. Bertha C. Beck to Mrs. Willie May Polley, lot on Hampton avenue, $1,500. Heal Estate Transfers. Sonn- Velf \?'\\ suit*. Reached ui today.
