PEACE NEGOTIATIONS.

TURKEY ACCEPTS INEVITABLE. ADRIANOPLE TO GO. By Telegraph— l'i-ohs A»noc.i ation.—Uop.vrinlit Constantinople, Wednesday. The Turkish Grand Council almost unanimously assented to the Government's proposal to frankly accept the advice of the Powers. Turkey accordingly places herself in the hands of the Powers, and agrees to their proposals - that Adrianople should be surrendered, and that the question of the disposal of the Aegean Islands be left in the hands of the Powers for adjustment. The Taglische Rundschau says the entente of the Powers stiffened the backs of the Balkan States. The triple entente had weakly allowed itself to be taken in tow, and had crushed Germany and Austria to the wall. A WARLIKE DEMONSTRATION. Constantinople, Thursday. Owing to a demonstration of disapproval the Cabinet has resigned. Mohammed Shevket Pasha, late Minister for War, has been appointed Grand Vizier—Prime Minister; Talaat Bey, Minister for the Interior; Izzot Pasha, Minister for War. Talaat Bey in the course of an interview declared: "The movement means that we are going to save the national honour or perish. We don't want the war to continue, but we are determined to keep Adrianople. At the meeting of the Grand Council yesterday Nazim Pasha declared that the army was willing able and eager to continue the war, and that there was a possible hope of a measure of success. He admitted, however that there was little chance, of recovering Salonika and Mouastir or of relieving Adrianople.

A member of the council asked whether the country was ready to resume fighting. Nazim Paaha referred the question to the Minister for Finance, who said that Turkey had no money, and that Bhe waa dependent upon foreign markets.

The Minister for Foreign Affairs explained that there waa little hope that any advantage would be derived from European complications, and he added that Russia bad twico warned the Port that continuation of the hostilities might cumpel her to depart from her policy of neutrality.
