RoUMELrAN AUTONOMY.
BERLIN, June 23.-The congress at Mondays |
sitting will discuss the details of the arrange
ment made Saturday permitting the Turks to
garrison the Balkan passes. A later dispatch
declares this Concession on tho part OF Russia |
is unauestionably conditional Upon the estab- |
lishment of the autonomy of Roumelia and the
evacuation IF the interior by Turkish troops: /
The interior organization of the province will |
be next discussed. The conditions |
laid down by Russia are abso-
lutte. It is understood negotiations
relative to guarantees for autonomy of the
province will give rise to animated debate. The
question Of the evacuation of the fortresses
will also arise in connection With the organize
ton of Roumelia. The Russia privy counsel
lor Schlanger, arrived in Berlin from st.
Petersburg Saturday, and Immediately had an
interview with Scouvalof and Gortschakof.
Gortschakoff is confined to his bed.
SOPHIA.
LONDON, June 24.-The Times Berlin CORE
sp~ndent says Sophia is to be included in
Northern Bulgaria. The former report that the
city was to be included In Roumelia was erro-
ton that the frontier pass SO close to the sonth
of the town as not TO menace Austrian interest
in that quarter.
BEACoNsF1ELD.
Beaconsfeld at Saturday sitting of the con-
gress made what is described as one of the
finest speeches he ever delivered, opposed to the
Russian demand that the Sultan, instead of be-
ing permitted to garrison the Roumelian from
tier as he chose, should be obliged to designate
beforehand the points he wished to fortify and
the number of troops to be maintained thereat.
Beaconsfeld did not quite succeed in convinc-
ing his audience.
SEVERE CRISIS.
Berlin correspondent of the Times writes:
Europe Friday, passed through a serions
| crisis. Beaconsfeld informed Bismarck, with
extraordinary energy, that on the question OF
fortifying the Balkan passes, and governing
them with Turks, England would not hesitate
! q moment, and that he would quit
| Berlin Monday if her demands were
not satisfied Another correspondent reports a
| compromise was arranged according to which
| the number in each pass, should be determined
by Europe at present. There is good reason te
believe that when the withdrawal of Russian
| troops, and of the future administrative or
|
will be another crisis, as severe as the one JUS
| passed:
CONGRESS MATTERS
LONDON, June 24.-The Posts Berlin specia
states that Great Britain and Austria resolutel,
Insists on Russia's evacuating bulgaria where
until the government is established, there shall
be mixed European occupation. Russia de
| mands that the number of troops Turkey vii
be entitled to station near the Balkans, b.
limited to comparatively small contingent
and that Russia be allowed to continue mill
tary occupation some time longer.
The Times correspondent Considers it prob
able that congress will fix the nun Der of Turk
ish troops to occupy the Balkans at $4,000.
The Times leading editorial expresses tn
opinion that there is no reaso
to fear a serious disagreement in tn
congress on the remaining topics. Severa
special dispatches mention the probability of
com promise on the Bessarabian question.
is believed Ronmania will consent to RI
linquish of province, with the exception Q
a strip of land bordering on the Danube.

ton of gen d armie to replace the Russia
army of occupation. The Russians recent

confine himself to protest.

his left arm is perceptibly increasing.
