deal in all with six proposals for the rcadi ust-
mcnt of the Greek frontier. namely, that based
on the 18th protocol Of tho Berlin congress, to-

minimum of what will be granted by Turkey
to Greece. As the vote Of the majority will he
decisive, and as Austria, IN view Of her treaty

pathy with the Greek cause iusiiry the be-
lief that she will heartily support France and
England, 1t is regarded here AS easy to sec the
proxinlate result Of the impending dclihora-
tions. Again, IL Is thought hard to understand
why Russia should refuse her assent to, in the
case of Greece, what she stronuously strove for
in favor of Servia and Montenegro. Tho ro-
sistance of Italy is scarcely takon into account.
