EUROPEAN SICK MEN.
GOSSIP ABOUT THE CONGRESS.
Maine Democratic Convention.
EUROPE TODAY.
The Peace Congress.

LONDON, June lN.-1he contradictory ma
ture uf this mornings kilograms from Berlin
indicate that the delegates and officials par
uclpatlng In the congress are cloScly ohSery-
1nG the promise Of secrecy. Some correspond
eIlts assert that Lord salisbury proposed the
admission of Greece 10 the congress and sup
ported his proposal In a speech which occu-
ped the entire sitting Yesterday. Other cor
respondents declare l. . the a omission of
Greece was not discussed at all. but was post
poned until Wednesday. IL il stated that
when Count AndraSSy introduced the ones
uon ot The boundaries of BulEaua, he made
an earheSl speech, urging the division OF Eu-
lopean Turkey into districts OH the basis OF
natonallties, thus rendering reform and re-
generation possible, without SeVeTing their
connection With the Porte The RarIin cor
respondents OF the Times, who are likely 90 be
as well informed rs any persons outside of the
congress, say that The Representatives uf Eng
land moved for the admission OF Grrt ce, and
tie representatives of France recommended
that the Greek delegates be admitted
TO enter into direct relations with the
congress, but that the debate was adjourned
To be continued al the next Sitting-probab v
on Nednesday-and that il is probable that
Greece Will ultimately lie admitted i'm a purely
consultative position, or 10 a limited number
oil siIJingS devoted TO Greek interests. The
congress sat less than two hours yesterday, a
considerable portion OF which time was neces-
SarllS occupied with the reading of the min
uteS and other fOrmaliIieS Whatever NAV be
the vote OF majority of the states, II is not
ntlleNeu that the congress will undertake 90
cCmpel by iorce the exchange of BeSSarabia
1or the DobrudScha, or sanction RusSias coer-
clun OF Roumanla if the latter, after an eX-
preston OF opinion by the congress- continues
10 refuse TO make the exchange. England
viii insist upon a rigorous limitation OF the
pIlnclpallty OF Bulgaria 10 the territory north
If the Balkans.
1t is not certain that Russia will ever sue
Ceed III getting Sofia included. II is fully un-
derStOod that Roumelia shall only have a sea
border on the EuNine that Turkey shall re-
tam over that province her suzerainiy, and
that she shall nave the nomination with the
al M a fhRigr riafa
ment OF The province; that the Russian ele-
ment VIII neither figure in the administration
nor the governments, and that in all the from
ltrS OF Roumella on the north, east
and west as well as on the sea board
OF the EuNine, Turkey shall be able
TO strengthen the boundaries Of
the province and protect herself 10y garrison
ing all the fortified positions on her new bOr-
derS. This Is how the destruction OF the Otto
man empire will be neutralized, which was the
ultimate aim of the San Stefano treaty These
are the points which England deems SO rs-
sentlal TO the safe guarding of her interests
as not 10 allow of her making any concession
thereon whatever, without playing false TO
her duties and sacrificing the rights Of the ma
tlon. A Berlin dispatch To the Post says: The
Persian Minister 10 England is here, not 10
claim admission TO the congress, but 10 solicit
llS protection OF Persian interests.
