DIPLOMAEY.

boundaries of Bulgaria as Fixed ny
the Congress.
LONDON, June 22.-The Ministerialsts to-
day are exultlng over what they claim Is a
great victory Of Earl Beaeonsfields policy, at
the congress-. Some credit Is awarded to the
British Minister ut Constantin0ple, who, 1t is
said Hpurred up the Porte to send a dispatch
to It's representatives at Berlin directing them
to Inform the congress In most positive terms
that III driven too far Turkey would surely re-
sist to the bitter end. This strengthened Earl
Beaeonsfield's position, and his admirers are
declaring to-day that he has ALREADY sue
ceeded In wrestling one-haf OF Russias con-
quests from her, and that before the congress
is ended he will have succeeded In accomplish
ing what would have cost millions Of money
and thousand Of lives If on the battlefield.
IL Is conceded that Prince Bismarck has
acted admirably 60 far, cooperating with
Earl Beaeonsield at every critical moment,
and on more than one occasion managed with
adroitness to prevent Il rupture.
The public mind here is being prepared for
some extraordinary reward or honor TO be
bestowed on Earl BeacOustield on his retuI n
from the congress, hut the Radicals do not
f0rego the opportunity OF warming the public
that it is yet too soon to think OF thanks.
The principal work OF the congress has thus
far been done In private conferences letween
BeHASStDbHhfO LlIIIbttos lbdl
only reflected conclusions arrived at III these
private interviews.
There is curious tone of contempt, said to
be violent among the members OF the con-
gress, respecting the claims OF Greece. It is
known that Greece, poor ut best, has incurred
such heavy expenses In military preparations
that her finance minister sees bankruptcy
staring him In the face. But there Is very
little sympathy felt for her in Berlin and less
in London.
Count Andrassy has just disclosed to mem
beTs of the congress, In his private or official
conversation, what Austria wishes respect
ing Montenegro. She will strenuously Op-
pose the extension OF the Montenegrin from.
tier, but she will not object to granting to the
Inountaineers some districts of cultivated
lands on the southwest. The objection to ex.
tending the Montenegrin frontier to the
seas is that the people would at once engage
In smuggling, to the great detriment of Aus
trian revenues.
Tho agreement respecting Bulgaria is un-
derstoOd to provide that north of the Balkans
the provinces shall be under ths government
OF on independent prince; that south OF the
Balkans the provinces shall remain under q
governor appointed by the prince and ap-
proved by the powers. The governor Is tG
hold his office for lOug term of years, and Is
to be assisted by an elective council Of no
tables, partly Christians and partly Maham-
medans. The southern boundary OF Bul-
garia Is to be north Of the Egean sea, and the
whole seaboard Of the provinces is to remain
under control Of the Porte.

the difficulty of harmonzing railroad and
steamboat interests, some of the railroad
representatives contending that steamboat
companies would do as they pleased. and rail-
roads would have to take care Of themselves
as best they could.
After debate the matter was finally referred
to q special com mmittee.

WASHINGTON, June 22e-The jerks woman
began her job OF swearing John Sherman back
to life this afternoon. She testified, as was
expected, like hired girl from beginning to
end. Her replies we're sharp and shrewd
enough, but her intensely strained and the
atrical air betrayed her completely. She
acted her testimony like an actress OF yaude-
vile, and made bad impression all around.
The Radicals, who expected from her quite
natural flow Of perjury, were disappointed
and Disguised at her heavy theatfieals and
her clear betrayal that she was simply speak
ing d piece.
Her testimony was amusing, but not CON
vineing. The general remark among members
Of the committee and newspaper correspond
ents is, that she seems to differ from Eliza
Pinkston only in color. BUELL..
