WILLING TO CEDE HALF ADRIANOPLE.
CONSTANTINOPLE, Jan. 31
The Government, in a lengthy reply, pointed out that the suggestion to ceed Adrianople has caused the downfall of the late Ministry.. Nevertheless, the Government was prepared to place itself in the Powers' hands as regards portion of Adrianople on the right bank of the Maritza, while keeping the part o,n the left bank. Any other course would creat© commotion in the country. The Porte is willing to abid© by the Powers' decision in regard to the Aegeans, provided they maintained the integrity of the Dardanelles and Asia Minor. It was indispensable that the Powers should recognise Turkey's right to control the Customs, consenting meanwhile to a four per cent increase on the duties, the abolition of foreign post offices, and capitulations.
