pected that the new constitution which is now
being elaborated, can be introduced by that
time, nor that the organization OF the militia

return to Philippopolis, and In concert with a
governor appointed by Turkey superintend the
introduction OF a constitution. From the CON-
powers there seems TO be every probability OF

by all except Turkey. Thus Italy. toward
the end OF ISIS, broached the idea OF mixed
occupation, which was then deemed premature

gress; while, TO Judge by the past, France is not
likely to separate herself from the other
powers. England, since the complications IN

aimed at the Sultan's authority, but the condi-
tions OF the scheme may do much TO overcome
Its objections. Even according 20 the Russian
suggestion, Turkey, as signatory power, could
contribute part OF the occupying force and
the term OF occupation would be definitely
fixed. Even il mixed occupation be accepted
in principle. IL VIII take time TO TX the details
