BERLIN, June 2L-Count Corith, the 1tal-
ian delegate to the Congress- gave the Pleni-
potentiaries magnificent banquet last eve
ming.
DELEGATES CoNFERRIYG.
The representatives of Austria, Russia and
England had long private conference yes.
terday.
THE PLEA OF TURKEY.
The Ottoman members Of the Congress
have presented large number of memorials
from the Christians. They, the subjects of
the Sultan, praying that they may be left
under his rule, and protesting in the strong
est terms against being handed over to Rus
sla, Bulgaria or Austria. The position of
the Ottoman delegates is, that the dismem-
borment of the Turkish Government is
neither necessary nor practicable in the in
telest of peace.
No dismemberment is possible which will
not excite jealousies on one side or disatfec-
ton on the other. Turkey is ready to ac-
cept the reforms prescribed for her by the
Conference OF Constantinople, and those
would be ample. The treaty of San Stefano
was simply extorted by the Russians, who
at that moment held Turkey by the throat
They have postponed the stipulations of
that treaty, waiting for the meeting of this
Congress, which they looked forward to
with hope and confidence. Portions of the
papers prepared by the Porte and laid be-
| fore the Congress are conducted in extreme
ly strong and nervous language. 1t is de-
clared that Turkey is perfectly able and
honestly willing to protect and satisfy all
the legitimate desires of its subjects.
Caustic reflections upon the hypocritical
declarations of Russia are interiected and

prejudices aside and to consider facts as
they really are. Then follows an elaborate
sketch of the reforms that are to be carried
out. The local government is to be admin
| lstered IN each District by means of sys-
tenn which appears to be theoretically per-
feet. The "Nals' or Governor of each dis
| trict is to be appointed by the Sultan. as is
| also his associate, The "Nals' in district
where the majority are Mohammedans is to
be Mohammed and his associate is to be a
Christian.
In District where the majority are Christ
| ians, the "Nals'' is to be Christian and his
associate Mohammedan. The ''Vals' is
to have council to assist him composed of
two members from each sandiuk chosen
thereby, and these are to be similar
Councils are chosen in each village or town
ship to assist the Mayor. There is to be
more attention paid to public education
full liberty OF teaching enjoyed, and schools
are to be open to all children. The Courts
OF Justice are to be organized on EUROPEAN
plans,
The Judges are to hold their offices for
life or during good behavior, and any one
Taxation is to be made as light as possible,
and the local Councils are to have the pow
er OF tapportioning the most Of It.
AUsTRIA's DEMANDS.
The disclosure of Austras demands by
Count Andrassy was the cause of some ex-
element. The proposition that Russia
should occupy Shumla and Varna, and that
Austria should march her army into Bosnia
and take possession Of it while Russia occu-
pied Bulgaria excited earnest protest.
