TIE PROPOSED NEW STATE IN TIE BALKAN
PENINSULA.
LONDON, March 24.-The Illness leading
editorial of this morning says the treaty
proposes the creation Of Il new State in the
Balkan peninsula, which would dwarf all
others, and which, supported by external
influence, would inevitably strangle all
other interests. The new Bulgaria would
extend considerably beyond the limits with
in which the Sclave population is predomi-
nant. Wherever the present limits OF such
preponderance were not so incident with
good geographical boundary the boundary
line has beea pushed forward to the injury
Of other populations and States. The gen
eral result Is that the new principally
would occupy the whole central mass OF the
peninsula, forming a State in COMPARE
son with which Servia and Montenegro
would be insignificant, and reduce the re-
naming possessions Of Turkey to an abb
surdity. Europe cannot avoid very grave
doubts whether such an arrangement would
be either Just or exempt il from the danger
OF great future disturbances.
