LONDON, July 3.-Thc agreement OF the
Berlin Conference regarding the Greek FROM
tier constitutes almost q personal triumph for
Sir Charles Dixie, whose chief reason for

turbance bill, the Buria1s bill, and the Game
bilt,-but any one or all may fail unless
the Government resolves to sit until Sep
tenlber, plan often threatened but seldom
executed.
