LONDON. November ia Times cor
respondent at Vienna thinks that the meeting
of a conference is tOlerably well assured. The
Porte, although putting forward objections,
has intimated it would leave the decision to
the British government, but from the indica
tons of the Russian demands which Ignatief
has given the four powers, it appears that
Russia will require the appointment Of gov
ernors for fixed periods, of christian officials
whenever practicable, reform of taxation, To-
cal police, etc Also, that reforms should
not be limited to the province called Bulga-
ria, but extended to all districts inhabited 2
Bulgarians. If these, as it appears possible,
are all of the Russian demands, and if Russia
shows moderation In regard to guarantees,
there viii not be much need for the czar to
take an independent course. The daily Tele-
graphs special from Pera states that Lord
Derby has replied to the Turkish objections
to conference in a conciliatory but firm
tone. He fOrcibly points to the necessity for
a conference In the interest of Turkey herself,
and clearly explains his proposal Of admins
tratIve autonomy as a system of local mstltu-
tiOns which should give the population some
control over their own affairs, and says there is
no question of establishing tributary states.
The Turks who lately adopted very warlike
tone have been somewhat subdued by the
Moscow speech The Berlin correspondent
of the Times says: In obedience to the Rus
sian demands Persia has placed some troops
on her Turkish frontier. The Ne1c Free
Press, of Vienna, says that England pos
sesses the clearest proofs of Russia Interior
designs She has communicated these to
Count Won Beust, the Austrian ambassador
in London. A complete agreement IS estab-
lished between England and Austria. The
Times considers that England's only course
is to proceed with the conference, and not to
consider anything as changed by the recent
manifestation in Russia. In this course she
can only rely on the good wishes of all the
powers, not one of which viii refuse to and
in the work of securing the peace of Europe.
The Times thinks, however, that the possible
obstinacy of the Porte Is the real danger.
Reuter- kilograms from COnstantinoplc say
that all the powers are stated to be In accord
| respecting the conference, which Is expected
| to commence its sitting at the end OF No
vember. The Porte has made some obJec-
| ton, but its adhesion appears certain, ing
| land having made urgent representations to
| that end.
The St0ndgrFs Vienna special says that the
| force Rus sia will mobilize in accordance with
| recent ordinance numbers one hundred and
| ninety-fve thousand two hundred and ninety
| two infantry and twenty-six thousand sever
hundred and Lightweight cavalry. Six hun
| dred and twenty-four riled breech-lOadlnl
cannon rifles are of the American Berdar
pattern. Because of the state Of the weather
military men estimate that at least mOntl
will be required before the above force cal
| be concentrated on the Pruth.
A Berlin dispatch to the Post says prrpara
tons have been made for 4 concentration G

inorced by the imperial guards.
