THE PEACE CONGRESS.
The Admission of Greece Under
Discussion.
Confidence i'm q Peaceful solution
Increasing.

BERLIN, June lit is stated in some QUAR-.
tiers in this city that the document printed in
the London Globe June 13 contains the propos-
ais submitted by Russia and rejected py Eng
land, and that their publication was procured
by Russia in order to prove that they were not
repugnant to English public opinion, and thus
to limit the concessions the English represen-
tatives may demand.
A Kiernan's cable special saws il is rumored
in Berlin that England and Austria Jointly de-
mand the withdrawal of the Russians from
Constantinople during the Congress.
1t is believed that if Beaconsfeld proposes
autonomy for Crete, the Russian Poles will
draw the attention of the Congress to their
sufferings.
BERLIN, June IT, The Congress met at two
O'Clock this afternoon. The sitting lasted until
nearly o'clock. Gortschakoff was present.
LONDON, June 17-Reuter's telegram from
Berlin denies the statement that the programme
of the the proceedings for each sitting Of the
Congress has already been definitely fixed.
The question of the admission of Greece to
the Congress was definitely brought forward to-
day but no decision reached. The question has
assumed more Importance than at first expected
France, England, Austria and perhaps Ger.
many will support the administration Of
Greece, Russia and Italy may possibly oppose
it from 1.-THE apprehension that Greece under
British protection might become great men
tai power and formidable rival to the SAWS.
The confidence in peaceful result which
will assure legitimate influence in the East
of the powers principally interested is in
creasing. An understanding between Russia
and Austria is considered certain.

FRANCE.
Fears of a Reac.ionary Movement,

LONDON, June ia Paris letter says some
apprehension prevails lest new attempt will
be made to put reactionary ministry in con-
troll of the government for the purpose of in
f1uencing the coming senatorial elections. Such
a step would be the last desperate effort of the
Monarchists to prevent the firm establishment
of republic and would leave the question of
the revision of the constitution open three
years longer. Unless the coming election can
be influenced in some such way, the Republi-
cans are sure to obtain a majority in the Sem
ate. It is impossible to predict that President
MacMahon will lend himself to such an in
trigue because his character is little under
stood. The most significant fact giving ground
for the Republican fears .is the dictatorial at
titude adopted by the war minister toward the
Left in the latter part of the session. The
conservative newspapers have also been pub
fishing threatening articles. The conservatives
rely on the German support in consequence of
the anti-socal government. Apropos of the
foregoing Paris telegram of today says the
Republique Franchise says: 1--WE fear we per-
ceive in the nomination of Gen. Wolff to the
command of the 18th corps at Clermonferiand
cheek to the system of parliamentary control
and an aggressive movement in the direction of
personal government. 1t is the duty of the
Cabinet to prevent the revival of such an idea
and for its ministry it is a question of life or
death.
