ercion in any form. The powers will en-
ploy their diplomatic influence in ia
vor of reforms. The conference is de-
cided to be necessary, but further than
this they will not go. No time is fixed
within which the powers are to use
their influence, after which they are
to consider that their efforts have
failed. When the proposals which
Lord Derby SUBMITS to his colleagues
have been accepted by the other pow

will follow in due course. The proto-
col is to be signed by the Porte and
countersigned by the powers, is the
form of agreement which has found
most favor.
