CoNsTANTINoPLE. Jan. u.-It is asserted
that, although the Porte maintains its oppo-
sition to the proposed International Commis-
sion. aud the manner Of nominating pro-
vncal Governors, II is still possible that o basis
for an understanding Will be found on the
ground OF the Andrassy note inasmuch as
the attitude OF Russia Is thought TO be
really cnncilatory. The sitting OF the Confer
ence to-day Is regarded Us very important.
Hopes are still entertained OF an agreement be-
Ing reached, but the attitude OF GERMANY IL said
To excite some misgiviuss. II the sitting bs
