LONDON, June I4-The full text of the
| agreement between Great Britain and Rus
STA, signed on the thirtieth of May, is pub
lished, and confirms the correctness of the
| synopsis given In the dispatches of that date.
| The agreement reserves to Russia and Eng
land the right to raise and discuss in the con-
| gress aH questions not included in its stipu-
| lations. But, if after the discussion Russia
persists in maintaining the treaty as modified
| by agreement, England will not dispute
her right to do so. The minor points in the
| agreement are the ratification of the western
boundaries Of Bulgaria On basis of nation
aities, superior officers of the militia In south
ern Bulgaria to be nominated by the Porte,
with the approval If Europe, and Turkish
promises of reform in Armenia not to be ex-
clusively to Russia, but to England also.
The Standard and Times consider that the
| fact that Sir Stafford Northcote did not re-
pudiate the report of an agreement between
| Great Britain and Russia, as published in
| the Globe, when he was questioned In the
house of commons last night, shows that the
| report is authentic.
Dispatches from Berlin say that Lord Bea-
consheid, IN his speech in the congress on
Thursday, called attention to the perlls at
taching to the military situation at Constan-
tinople. Lord Beacons6eld demanded an
dangerous proximity the Russian and Tur-
kish armies in Roumania, and expressed
the hope that the Russian delegation would
be able, at the next sitting, to announce that
the troops had been Withdrawn.
The Political Correspondence of Vienna re-
ports that the confidential pourparlerS pro-
ceedng In Berlin relate to the question of
the Greek instructions on Turkish soil, and
the withdrawal of the question will be moot
ed in the congress on Monday. If, in the
meantime, an understanding is reached,
the close intercourse between Andrassy,
Beacons6eld and Schouvalof has undoubt-
eddy led to mutual rapprOchement, especially
as regards Andrassy and Schouvaloff. Prince
GortschakoH has not, since his arrival, held
or been present at any interview, in conse
quence OF the state of his health.
France appears DESTROYS of taking more
active part in the congress than hitherto on
the side of England, especially in regard to
the preservation of the remainder of European
Turkey and the claims of Greece.
1t is said that Germany, supported by the
other powers, will suggest the amelioratIon
of the condition of the Roumanian Jews.
telegram from Berlin tonight denies
that England or any other great power de-
mands the union of Crete with Greece.
Berlin correspondent predicts that the
proposition to admit Greece to the congress
will be rejected. 1t is known that Russia
will oppose it. Germany will support Rus
STA. Austria, France and Italy are jealous of
the Greek mercantile marine.
A correspondent thinks that Roumania,
Servia and Montenegro have even less chance
of admission. In any case, the utmost that
the small States can hope for is to be heard.
They will not be permitted to take part in
the debates or votes. 1t is understood that
Bismarck wishes to exclude any questions
not properly included IN the task OF the con-
gress. The sessions of the congress will as
suredly last several weeks.
A Paris special states that several cases of
cholera have been reported at Marseilles.
special from Berlin states that it is said
Lord Beaconsfed will depart for Berlin next
week, while Count Andrassy has arranged to
stay month. This causes the belief which
is encouraged 10y the Russian and English
plenipotentiaries, that the critical point be-
tween them will be much more easily settled
than that between Russia and Austria.
A correspondent at Constantinople says it
Is asserted on good authority that the Porte
has instructed its commissioners to open ne
gotiatlons relative to the surrender of Ba-
toum.
BERLIN GOSSIP.
BERLIN. June 1.-The English, French,
German and eastern branches OF the Israelite
alliance sent a delegate to represent to the
members of the congress the deplorable con-
dltion of the Jews in Roumania and Bulgaria.
1t is reported that Lord Beacons6eld will
move for the admission of Greece in the con-
gress.
The Roumanian delegates are much morti
fed at the cool reception they everywhere re-
