prompted by love OF truth and OF his country.
His colleagues hau granted concessions in

Congress In q merely consultative capacity.
WHAT DO THE TURKS MEANs
Vienna despatch to the Times says :--"It
causes some surprise and uncasiness that the rep
resentatives OF Turkey in the Congress are not
showing the resistance expected OF them. They
have hitherto merely stated their point OF view,
ana allowed 1t TO be overruIed without much re-
distance 80 It seems doubtful whether they have
really acquiesced in tho settlement made or are
meditating something else.
WAITING FOR THE ISSUE.
"One opinion IL that they arc reserving their
strength to resist all the more energeucauy it, in
the discussion OF the Greek question and those re-
lating to the Western PROVINCES any attempt
should be made to go beyond what the Treaty or
San Stefano stipulated. Both, therefore, over the
Greek and Bosnian questions hard struggle Is
anticipated"

lsfaction there at the progress Of affairs ut the
Congress Is increasing.
WHEN THEY WILL SPEAK
The Berlin correspondent OF the Vienna
Political Correspondence says:-"Ihe pouypar-
lers between the Austrian and Turkish
penipctentiaries relative to Bosnia and
Herzegovina cause expectations that the
Turks may, when this subject is discussed by the
Congress, abandon the reserve which they have
hitherto maintained and make statements which
will manifest the gull between their views and
those OF the Powers"
A SOP TO PRINCE CHARLES.
The Vienna Presse says:-"Roumania having re.
fused largo money indemnity for the retrocession
OF Bessarnba and having also refused the proposal
