The Autonomy Of RoumeIia One OF the
Conditions OF Peace--LOrd Bea-
cOnsfieId's Talk In the Brit
ish Parliament.

BERLIN, June % The congress at the
noonday's sitting will discuss the details OF
the arrangement made Saturday, permitting
the Turks to guard the Balkan passes. A
later dispatch declares that this concession,
on the part of Russia, is unquestonably con-
dItional upon the establishment of the au-
tonomy of Roumelia and the evacuation OF
the interior by the Turkish troops. The IN
terror organization of the provinces will
be next discussed The conditions laid down
by Russia are absolute. 1t is understood the
negotiations relative to the guarantees for the
autonomy of the province will give rise to an
animated debate. The question of the evac-
uatIon OF the fortresses will also arise IN con-
nection with the organization OF Roumela.
The Russian privy-counselor, Schloeger, ar
rived from st. Petersburg Saturday, and i'm
mediately had an interview with Schouvaloff
and Gortschakoff. Gortshakof is confined to
his bed.
LONDON GOSSIP.
LONDON, June 23-The Times Berlin cor
res pondent says Sophia Is to be included in
northern Bulgaria. The former report that
that city was to be included in RoumelIa was
erroneous. The powers consented to this on
condition that the frontier line pass close to
the south OF town, so as not to menace any
Austrian interests in that quarter.
The Earl of Beaconsheld, at Saturday 8 sit
ting of the congress, made what Is described
as one of the finest speeches he ever deliv-
cred. He opposed the Russian demand that
the sultan, instead of being permitted to gar
rison the Roumelian frontier as he choose,
should be obliged to designate beforehand
the points he wished to fortify and the num-
Der of troops to be maintained thereat. The
Earl of Beaconstield did not quite succeed in
convincing his audience.
A Berlin correspondent of the Times
writes: Europe, on Friday, passed through
a serious crisis. Lord Beaconsfeld Informed
Prince Bismarck, with extraordinary energy,
that on the question of fortifying the Balkan
passes and garrisoning them with Turks
England would not hesitate moment, and
that she would quit Berlin on Monday if her
demands were then not satisfied.
Another correspondent reports that a com
promise was arranged according to which the
number of troops in each pass should be de.
termined by Europe at present. There is
good reason to believe that when the with
drawal of the Russian troops and the future
administrative organization of the province
is discussed, there will be another crisis as Sc
we're as the one just passed.
Times correspondent considers it prob
able that the congress will fix the number OF
Turkish troops to occupy the Balkans al
twenty-five thousand.
A leading editorial in the Times expresses
the opinion that there is no reason to fear q
serious disagreement In the congress on the
remaining topics.
Several special dispatches mention the
probability of compromise on the Bessara'
bian question. 1t is believed that RoumaDia
will consent to cede that province to Russia
with the exception of strip of land border
inc on the Danube
