watching and reporting on the local administration
but will have no administrative powers; the AM
bassador At COnstantinople will act upon the in
formation they supply, and the machinery to en-
force what may be deemed requisite for the good

WILL THE CONGRESS DISCUSS IT.
II IS uncertain whether the subject OF the Anglo
Turkish convention viii be brought before the Con-
gress, but its discussion by the latter is not con

believed that the question will not raise material
dificuties in the Congress 1t is thought, in fact
