The Congress of the Powers.
BERLIN, June 17.-The congress meets at
2 this afternoon. The Bulgarian question
will be likely to come up for discussion first,
then the Montenegrin and Servian questions,
Prince Bismarck having, it is said, submitted
q plan for taking up the respective chapters
of the treaty Of San Stefano 10 order of their
importance and Of the amount OF the oppo-
stion they are likely to meet. The questions
which threaten the success Of the congress
are believed to be the cession Of Antiyari
to Montenegro, the position Of Roumelia In
relation to Turkey, of administrative and
! governmental organization OF Roumelia.
Austria and Italy will oppose the cession OF
Antivari. Russia alone, or perhaps Russia
and Germany, will uphold it; but this ques-
ton may be compromised or Russia may
Weld. England, France, Austria, Turkey,
and perhaps Italy, will uphold the anti
Russian arrangement and organization OF
| Roumelia. On these questions 1t is thought
England and Austria cannot yield. Russia
can and must.
| Her friends allege that she will not, but
such assertions are probably intended to
mislead and influence the forces which are
contesting Russa's claims. The fact is the
war party was banished from the capital
when Ignatieff went to Kieff, ut least this is
the belief OF well-qualified observers OF Rus
sian public opinion. Bessarabia will be
yielded to the personal wishes OF the Car,
and Roumania will accept Dobindia in ex-
change. Territorial concessions in Armenia
will not at least meet opposition from
England. The question OF war indem-
nity will be settled by the appoint
ment OF commission to collect the
Turkish revenue and pay over certain
proportion to Russia annually or to capt.
talize such proportion by foreign loans and
pay the Russian claim in bulk. One nota-
BILE feature in all these speculations is that
they omit to take any account OF the posi-
| BILE opposition from the Turks themselves,
This omission is only iustitiable on the as
sumption that all the notifications Of the
treaty OF San Stefano which the Powers VIII
demand are to be in favor OF Turkey, which
| is not by any means certain. Caratheodor1
Pasha is making preparations for vigorous
representation OF Turkish interests before
tue congress, but his position is very I'm.
| pleasant.
