THE PROPOSED CONFERENCE
LONDON, Oct. 23.-The article published in
official form in this mornings Post, explanatory
OF the latest phase of negotiations on the East
ern question, portion Of which was sent to
the United States, also says: Il an armistice
is agreed upon, then comes the question Of con
ference. Russia objects to Turkish par
ticipation therein. It may be assumed
that this refers solely to the position of Power
dcliberating on its own case. Obviously, II tho
six Powers meet to discuss recommendations
to be made to a seventh, there is something
anomalous in giving the latter the casting vote
in their decisions, but 1t Is impossible for a
moment to consent to the exclusion of Turkey
from the European system, Of which, In virtue
Of the Treaty Of Paris, she forms part. It
ought to be practicable to find method By
which representative OF the Porte may sit ii
a conference so as to obyiate this difficulty.
Before "a conference is summoned the ques-
tions Of its basis and objects, which might
occasion protracted and dangerous debate,
should by unanimous agreement be reduced to
the simplest terms, which may be stated thus:
THE basis of the conference Is the mainten-
ance Of the independence and integrity OF the
Ottoman Emnire. The object is the ameliora-
ton OF the condition Of the Christian subjects
of the Sultan This basis could not alarm Tur-
key regarding her sovereign rights. This OBJ
ject is one which Russia pTofessed alone to have
in view. We are not without foundation for
the hope that the solution here fo1eshaioWed
may be happily effected"
The Pal lfaU Gazette takes quite a hopeful
view Of peace prospects.
