THE EASTERN QUESTION.



LONDON, June 19.-The Congress is ex.
pecled to last many weeks. Bulgaria il
the subject ofto.days session.
The Ifma says it is characteristic oi
Prince Bismarck that he sought 10 place
the Congress at once face 10 face with
the chief difficulty ithas TO overcome, for
however pregnant the Asiatic question
may be with important consequences,
nothing compares In immediate impor.
tance in the uncertainty Of It's ultimate
results with the proposed reorganization
Of Bulgaria. The question Is simply
whether Europe or Russia shall exercise
a preponderant influence In European
Turkey. The Congress could not deal
hastily or rapidly with aquestion so i'm.
portant and so complex. It's delays and
frequent adjournment, so far from sug-
gesting an unfayorable issue, only show
that the Congress Is real, not merely =
formal assembly, and that II will enter
thoroughly into the questions submitted
to it. The truth is It would be impossible
to bring together body Of such powerful
statesmen merely TO ratify foregone con-
clusions. The balance Of opinion pro.
nounced at the Congress will be quite dis.
tinct from the views Of particular states.
Andrassy Still insists that the Russian
occupation Of Bulgaria shall cease on the
conclusion OF definite peace.
An authorized contradiction Is given
to the report that the Turkish Plenipo.
tentiaries had been instructed 10 with.
draw from the Congress and declare that
Turkey preferred TO abide by the terms
Of the treaty Of San stefano, II the Con-
gress voted 10 grant autonomy TO Epirus,
Thessaly, Bosnia and Herzegovina.
BlsMARcK's DOG.
BERLIN, June 19.-During an inter.
view on Sunday between Bismarck and
GortschakoH, the large Danish dog be.
longing to Bismarck made ferocious at.
tack on Gortschakoff, who was rescued al
ter considerable trouble.
AFTER BULGARIA COMES BEssARABrA.
The North German Gazette says: When
the Bulgarian question Is settled the
proposed retrocession Of Bessarabia will
probably form the subject Of a searching
consideration. Russia will not recognize
Roumania's right Of appeal TO the treaty
OF Paris, ss Roumania was not party
thereto. Roumania must consider
whether abe had better yield to the wishes
OF Russia or retain Bessarabia and be
constantly exposed TO the claims Of her
powerful neighbor, from whom Bessara.
bia was certainly once wrested.
WHAT WILL SATISFY AUSTRIA. F9
LONDON, June ia Berlin dispatch
says: The Turkish Bashi Bazouks, who
attacked the Montenegriaps at Kraina,
were Roman Catholics. The Albanians,
wishing for embodiment with Austria,
are adopting forcible means Of a raid to
acquaint the Congress" OF their desire.
The annexation Of this territory by Aus
lria, might be the means OF compromising
the Antivari controversy. il Northern
Albania were Austrian, Antiyari might
be ceded to Montenegro with danger to
the Vienna government, no doubt. Italy
objects 10 Austria possessing Albania, but
there is reason to believe here that objec.
tions are intended TO usher in the demand
for the question whether Albania Is oc-
cupied by Austria.
The mobilization OF troops in the south.
western provinces OF the Hapsburg Mon.
archy, is being rapidly proceeded with.
This time there can be no doubt ot their
being in earnest.
