    CONSTANTINOPLE, Nov. 22.— Today has been spent by Nazim Pasha and the other Turkish peace plenipotentiaries in trying to get into touch with the Bulgarian emissaries. The Turkish Government hopes that they will manage to arrange a meeting to-morrow.
    I have the highest authority for saying that the only hope of any results from this meeting rests on the possibility that the Bulgarian negotiators may prove to be the bearers of modified conditions for an armistice.
    Meanwhile the Turks are maintaining a certain amount of artillery fire, as they claim, to their advantage. Although I believe the Turkish Government are ready to resign themselves to the inevitable loss of much territory, the facts that many of the troops at Tchatalja are fresh, that the nearness to their base makes the problem of supply simple, and that Asiatic reinforcements are constantly arriving, are cards that strengthen their hand.
    "If the Bulgarians ask so much for an armistice," said a Minister to me to-day, "what further may not they ask for peace? Why should we surrender all they could ever hope to conquer when we have yet 500,000 men to draw on and they not one?"
