The Congress-
BERLIN, July Sit is believed the congress
decided that while Russia receives BatOum as
free port, the territory principally Inhabited
by the LaziS is excepted from Russian control.
In return for this concession the British pleni-
pOtentiarieS accepted the substitution of the
expression essentially commercial instead
OF Exclusively commercial as applied To the
port OF BatOum. Much controversy has been
proceeding on the subject Of the Sandiak OF
Sofia between the Russian and Austria milI-
tary delegates, the latter prOpOsinC a STRATEGY
cal line reducing the territory of the Sandiak
nearly one-half. 1t is understood that Count
SchOuYaloh has regained the territory which
the military committee proposed TO take away
from the Sandjak.
The Secret Treaty a New Phase Of
the Eastern Question.
LONDON, July 9.-The Times Berlin CORE
SpoEdent says: considerable sensation was
created here by the news of the AngIo-Turk-
ish alliance and the ceSSiOn of Cyprus. There
IS feeling that the Oriental question has en-
tered upon new and decisive stage, and that
remOdeling process will continue after the
Berlln meetlng Is over. Some diplOmatiSts
have no hesitation in saying that the Euro
pean ana African domains of the Porte are
less likely to remain in Statu quo for the pro
tectlOn specially awarded to the LeVant. The
first move it is thought, will be made by the
Roman Catholic AlbanianS on the confines OF
Bosnia and Herzegovina who desire to be in
cOrpOrated by Austria. In such case Italy is
expected to occupy Albania and to offer to ex-
change it for South TyrOl. No little curiosity
is felt respecting the action of France and
Russia in the immediate future.

England and Turkey, especially the acquiSi-
tlon of Cyprus is not favOrably received by
