THE PEACE CONGRESS-
AS the deliberations of the Peace Congress
at Berlin are held in secret all statements
about its action are merely rumors. The Lon.
don Globe publishes the full text of an agree
ment between England and Russia, which it
asserts was signed at the foreign Office in Lon
don, May goth, and which will serve as mu-
tual engagement for the Russian and English
plenipotsntiaries at the Congress. The condi-
tons of this agreement provide for the division
of Bulgaria into two provinces, one north and
the other South Of the Balkans Provision is
made for the government of the provinces, and
for the departure permanently therefrom OF the
Turkish troops. England stipulates not to
oppose the retrocession of Bessarabia or the
annexation of Batoum, but reserves the right
of discussing in the Berlin Congress any pros
pective changes relative to the Danube. Russia
agrees on her part not to take any indemnity
in land from Turkey nor to advance further
on her Asian frontier nor to interfere with the
claims of English creditors. 1t is agre ed that
the reorganization of Thessaly, Epirus and
ObHoI olOCh phONluOCS Shall uo l6lG u tu6 OUu-
gress. The province of Keteur is to be ceded
to Turkey. The questions of the reorganiza-
ton of Bulgaria by Enrope, the passage of the
Dardanelles and the Bosphorus, and of Rus
sian military occupation OF Roumania are also
to be submitted to the Congress.
A Vienna correspondent says that England
and Austria had concluded an agreement
promising to support each other at the con-
gress. The publication of the Anglo-Russian
agreement consequently astonished the Aus
trian government. Count Andrassy has ap-
parently been since assured, as it is now as
serted that he and Lord Beaconsfeld held
identical views.
A Berlin correspondent states that Boa
eonsfield has resolved to remain until the
close of the Congress. Prince Bismarck,
in Mondays session, sketched a general
plan for the arrangement of the pending ques-
tions and opened the debate on Bulgaria. An
animated discussion followed AS no result
was reached Bismarck proposed an adiourn-
ment to allow the representatives of the states
Immediately concerned to meet privately.
1t may be assumed that even more recourse
will be had to private conferences between the
representatives for the arrangement of the
differences than was at first supposed. The
agreement between England and Russia has
disturbed certain other arrangements and the
present relation of some of the powers are such
that lack of the modus operandi for smoothing
the differences would almost certainly lead to
dangerous consequences. The conditional ad-
mission of Greece to the Congress is certain.
