Tho interment of tho remains of Nazim Pasha took plafie at the Suginanich mosque. Enver Bey was among those who followed the coffin. The funeral was accorded all military honours.

It is proved that the death of Na zim Pasha was doe to an accident. The new Government prefer to avoid bloodshed, but Adrianople is indispensable to the Empire, akd state that they are not frightened by the threats of Russian action, as that would engender European complications.

All the ex-Ministers have been released. Several Ambassadors have refused 1 1 meet the Foreign Ministry. A WIRELESS FROM ADRIANOPLE The officers at Chataldja and Gallipoli are arranging demonstrations in honour of Enveil Bey and Shevket Pasha. The commander of Adrianople sent wireless congratulations to them on their appointment, stating that the besieged would now await their liberation with increased doggedness. It is stated that yesterday the Cabinet decided to withdraw the franchise. Vienna, January 25. The tone of the semi-official press indicates that the events in Constantinople have in nowise shaken the Powers’ views regarding Adrianople. MOVEMENT OF WARSHIPS. Malta, January 25. The battleship Yarmouth has been ordered to Salonika. Rome, January 25. Two, Italian battleships have been ordered to the Levant.. London, January 25. The ‘Daily Mail’s Odessa correspondent reports that the Russian Black Sea fleet at Sebastopol is under steam. , Berlin, January 23. The ‘North Germpn Gazette’ says the Powers are unanimous over the maintenance of neutrality. No Power desires to quit the concert, r.or is there any question of coercing Turkey. They roly on diplomacy to prevent a. recurrence of hostilities, and thus justify a quarrel over one issue. THE ALLIES’ CONCERN. (Received 8.40 a.m.) London, January 23. The Balkan Allies informally sug:est a higher indemnity if Turkey further procrastinates. There is some recrimination among the Allies because Bulgaria signed the armistice without including a basis for peace negotiations. MOVING FRENCH WARSHIPS Paris, January 26. Two additional warships have been ordered to Turkey. FIGHTING AT BIZ AN I. Athens, January 26. Heavy fighting occurred at B'zani on Friday and Saturday. The Turks received considerable reinforcements. Their losses on Friday were heavy. RUSSIA WITH THE POWERS. St. Petersburg, January 23. The Rossiya semi-officially says that the attitude of the Powers is unchanged. Russia is increasingly conscious of the necessity of ending the war, and believes the other Powers hold similar views. (-
