COME TO TERMs-A REVOLUTION AGAINST
THE SULTAN TALKED OF IN TURKEY-RUs-
SLAMS STRENGTHENING THEIR POSITIONS
IN BULGARIA.
THE CONGRESS
BERLIN, June Reconsideration of the
Bulgarian question in the congress was
again postponed yesterday, because the
plenipotentiary to open the discussion was not
ready with his proposals. The powers con-
tinue 10 act in groups, but not necessarily
in hostile sense Austria and England
are firm on one point of view and Turkey
from another to oppose Russia's claims.
Germany, France and Italy adopt medi-
tory attitude. There can be little doubt of
a thorough understanding between England
and Austria, OF OF tho Likelihood OF It's con-
tinuance during the entire deliberations
GREECE TO BE ADMITTED.
The congress has decided to admit Greece
with consultation voice in questions affect
ing Greek interests.
THE EMPEROR.
The emperor now walks about his room.
EVACUATION OF BULGARIA.
LONDON, June 20.-A correspondent at
Berlin says: The compliance of Russia with
the demand Of England and Austria for the
evacuation of Bulgaria by the Russians, on
or shortly after the conclusion of peace,
and the garrisoning of Balkan line by the
Turks, is deemed the sine qua non on
which the success of the congress de-
ponds.
THE PRIVATE CONFERENCE
Of the Russian, Austrian and English plen-
ipotcntiaries on Thursday afternoon lasted
two hours without arriving at any serious
result relative to the Bulgarian question,
though accord was effected on several minor
points.
MONDAYS SITTING.
1t is probable that, in order not to alarm
the public by continual abortivc sittings of
congress, the next sitting will be postponed
until Monday or Tuesday, so that the
above mentioned three Powers may come
before the congress with decent showing.
The Turks will accept whatever England
decides on relative to Bulgaria. 1t is be-
leved that Russia will intimately give
way.
BISMARCK
continues his system of preventing all ami.
mated discussion at public sittings, Thus
after the congress had accepted the prin.
ciple of admitting Greece further discus
sion was adjourned on Count Schouvalafr's
proposing some important restrictions like
~ to he unpalatable to Salisbury. 1t will
be settled at the next sitting what particular
subjects Greece is to be permitted to dis
cuss. The organization of Southern Bul.
garia is probably enc. Other accounts state
Bismarck has been authorized to select
questions on which the Greeks are to be
consulted.
