FRANCE.


PPRIs, Jan. 13-The official journal reports
that the conference on the Eastern question
held brief session yesterday and adjourned to
Tnursday next. Mr.. Ransabe, the Grecian
Minister, was not present. The conduct of the
Greek government in taking exception to the
exclusion of its representative from the confer
ence is condemned. 1t is argued that Greece
assented to the propriety of a similar exclusion
from the congress of 1885, though the Sublime
Porte was then represented in that body, and
this is held as precedent for the action of the
present conference.
PARIS, Jan. Electromagnetic exclusion of
the Grecian Ambassador threatens to break up
the Conference. 1t is not considered probable
that the Greek government will acquiesse, and
its reply TO the demand of its report for in
structOns is not likely to prove favorable, in
which case the conference will in all probability
adjourn indefinitely. In the meantime the
plenipotentlaries have applied to their respec-
tive governments for further instructions. 1t
IS understood that Russia condemns the atti-
tude which Greece has assumed toward the
. conference.
VIENNA, Jan. 13-A circular from the Sub
lime Porte to the European powers, justif, ing
its recent action against Greece, is published
here. 1t says the Turkish government does moi
expect that the conference OF Paris will arrive
at any settlement. The ultimatum sent to
Greece was a declaration that the internal af-
fairs of the Ottoman empire must not be inter
fered with.
