that military compromise between
Russia and Turkey is imminent. The
Russians will concentrate around
Adrianople. The Turks will eyscuate
Shamls and retire to Wanna and there
embark for Roumela
LONDON, June pa Berlin CORES
pondent SAYS: The Congress will have q
sitting to-day. In Mondays sitting the
right of the Sultan to place on the Rou-
melian frontier whatever number Of
troops he deemed necessary for security
was admitted in principle, bu! st the
same time Russia proposed series
OF amendments, which England refused
TO accept. The Congress also fixed nine
months as the term to be allowed Russia
for withdrawing her troops from the
Eastern provinces and Bulgaria. 1t is
generally thought that Russls, IN to-day's
sitting, will, in return for this conces-
sion, withdraw her amendments, and
tnat the chief points relative TO Bulgaria
will be definitely settled. There is
evidently close alliance between
England and Austria, but each naturally
comes most prominently forward on
points involving its own interests. Thus
the Austrlans took no prominent part in
the discussion relative to garrisoning the
Balkans, but will play first part in the
approaching discussions relative to the
organization OF Bulgaria. The Austri-
ans hesitate to ConcedO Narna to Bul-
garia, but the British do not seem to
share the Austrian objections.
Result OF English Eirmness.
LONDON, June 24.-AlI the Berlin
correspondents agree in declaring that
the settlement of the Bulgarian question
is entirely due to the frmness of the
British representatives in the Congress.
The Russian concessions on this head
again are said to be entirely dependent
upon the conditions for the organization
and administration of Roumshis. One
condition is that the Russian troops,
when they evaCuste Roumsnis, are TO be
replaced by native militia composed OF
Christians or MuSselmans, according to
the prevsiling religion of the district.
The French representatives, in Congress
support Lord Beaconsield's demands on
the Bulgarian question.
The Tunes says that 1t considers the
alleged settlement us nothing less than
the abandonment by Rassis of the pol.
icy which has guided her relations with
Turkey during the last hundred years.

Russia's Humiliation.
LONDON, June 24.-The Post says Rus
sis is now aIth )rItstively told that she
is as far from Constsntiuople, If not in
deed farther, than she WAS when the war
begun. Herein lies the bitterness OF the
modification TO which she must now
submit.
