stantinOple.

NEW YORK, June 20.-A Berlin special
says that in the congress yesterday the ques-
ton of the withdrawal of the British f1eet and
Russian army from before CoDstantinope was
indefinitely postponed. ;,
1t is believed that Greece will refuse condi-
tional representation in the congress.
LONDON, June 20.-The Times Berlin dis
patch says the consideration of the Bulgarian
question in the congress was again postDoLed
because the plenipotentiary who was to open
the discussion was not ready with his propos-
ais.
VIENNA, June 2O.-The Political Correspond
ence saws the powers continue to act in groups
at Berlin, but not necessarily in hostile
sense. Austria and England from one point of
view and Turkey from another oppose Russia's
claims Germany, France and Italy adopt
mediatory attitude, but this does not hinder
any from voting in favor of one or the other
group when questions become clearly defined.
There can be little doubt of a thorough under
standing between England and Austria, or of
the likelihood of its continuance during the de-
liberations.
NEW YORK. June 2O.-A Berlin cable says
De Oubrill, Russian ambassador, has gone to
St. Petersburg to induce the Gear to sanction
the withdrawal of the forces from the vicinity
of Constantinople. Andrassy advocates their
withdrawal to Adrianople and the occupation
by Russia of Shumla and Varna and the oecu-
patton by Austria of Bosnia during the Rus
sian occupation of Bulgaria.
LONDON, June 2O-The Times Berlin special
says: The compliance of Russia with the de-
mand of England and Austria for the evacua-
ton of Bulgaria by Russia on or shortly after
the conclusion of peace and the garrisoning of
the Balkan line by Turks is deemed the sine
qua non on which the success of the Congress
depends. Private conference of the Russian,
Austrian and English plenipotentiaries on
Thursday lasted two hours without arriving at
any serious result relative to the Balkan ques-
zk1l
or points. 1t is probable that in order not to
alarm the public by continued abort We sessions
OF the Congress the next session will be post
poned till Monday or Tuesday so that the above
mentioned powers may come before the Con-
gress with an agreem Turkey will accept
whatever England decides on relative to Bull
garia. The correspondent says it is believed
that Russia will ultimately give way. Bis
marck continues his system of reventing all
animated discussion at the public sittings.
Thus, after the congress had accepted the
principle OF admitting Greece, further discus
sion was adjourned on account of Schouvaloff's
proposing some Important restrictions likely to
be unpalatable to Lord Salisbury. 1t will be
settled at the next meeting what particular
subjects Greece will be permitted to discuss
The organization of Southern Bulgaria is
probably one Other accounts state Bismarck
has been authorized to select the questions on
which the Greeks are to be consulted.
