an impression In Russia tnat the meeting Of the

about Austra's future. Russia is buying large

ENGLAND HAS no GROUND FOR WAR.
The Daav Te1e0,upn's Vienna correspondent
tclegraphs as tollows:-''It is urged in official
circles here that England has no ground to make
without first going to the Congress. II she
does she will have the disapprobation Of Germany
and Austria II England compromises the Congress-
Count Andrassy's policy will be thwarted and the
hope OF an ultimate Anglo-Austrian understanding
must be abandoned. The Berlin Cabinet holds the
same view"
THE RATIFIED PEACE TREATY.
The Times Vienna correspondent summarizes
the Official text OF the treaty OF peace. The treaty
Is substantially the same as already tele-
graphed. The territory coded to Montenegro
~
tenegrns could have claimed on the
basis OF uu possidetis. This accession
OF territory is principally to the northeast.
Servia being considerably increased on the SOUTH
west the Turks, to gain access to Bosnia and Her
zcgovina without entering Servia or Montenegro,
must cross the Mokragora Mountains. The IRON
tier OF Bulgaria extends further west than at first
stated, the new boundary being formed by the
River Struma, approaching within few miles Of
Salonica.

Russia, however, has made the concession that
in one year after the Introduction Of the new
regime in Bulgaria the Porte, Russia ana the Euro
pean Cabinets may agree to associate speclaf
delegates with the Russian commissioner who ID
charged with the reorganization OF the province.
The treaty concludes:-"After the exchange Of the
Publications place and time will be agreed uroo
f,r providing this act with the solemn forms
usual with treaties OF peace, but the contracting
parties are formally bound from the moment OF
ratifcation.n The correspondent remarks that
thus although the cooperation OF the Powers is not
distinctly mentioned as necessary to make the
peace defnitlve, still the admission Is indirectly
made that something more is required"
