Article ST. The Porte hating expressed a
willingness to maintain the principle of reli-

exercise of all the professions and industries.
| Every one should be admitted, without dis
| tinction Of rel giOn, to give evidence before

should be entirely free; no impeachment should
| be offered to the hiarchical organizations OF
different communions, or to their spiritual

ileges. The right of cfficlal protection Is ac-
| corded to agents OF the powers IN Turkey
| and the holy places with their religious and
charitable establishments. The rights con-
| ceded to France are expressly reserved, 1T
| being understood that the status quo with re-
| spect to the holy places shall not be seriously
| affected IN any way. The monks of Mount
| Athos, of whatever nationality, shall main
| tain their possessions and enjoy, without e1-
ception, full equality Of rights and preroga-
| tlves.
The Daily Telegraph's dispatch from Ber-
lin gives seven additional articles of the
| treaty of peace, making siEty-four in all.
| These principally relate to the arrangements
in Asia, which are already known.
Article 63 provides that the treaties of 1856
| and 1871 shall be maintained in all those dis
| positions which are not abrogated or nodi-
| fed by the present treaty.
| This article is considered very favorable fol
England. The Turkish plenipotentiaries re-
fused to sign the treaty until more satisfac-
tory state of negotiations relative to Bosnia
and Herzegovina was remedied. Count An
Grassy gave guarantee that he would make
amlcable arrangements for entering those
provinces.
Opinions of London Press.
The London press favorabiy comments OF
| the results of the congress, the Daily Ne'C,
only excepted. The Times, summing up the
labors of the congress, says! at has mads
changes which transform an empire: has re
moved long standing causes of discomfort
has pacifed, we may hope, provinces which
| were torn 10y dissension and misrule, and hai
placed barriers between rival forms of imnla
cable bigotry; has stopped many avenues o
foreign intrigue, and if it has abridged thc
power of the Porte, it has given peace to Eu
