Count Corti and NJ. tNovigoff, Italian
and Russian ambassadors respectively, eX-
press regret that NJ TeSsat, French am

abandonment of the project in favor of
of direct negotiations between Greece
and Turkey.

most TO calm the excitement in Greece
Barthelmv 81. Hilore, minister of foreign
affairs, was recently sent to Athens to
counsel, by which the Greek ministers
must have been struck.
LOOKS wARLIKE.
Vienna and ConstantinOple dispatches
concur IN reporting the collapse of the
arbitrary scheme. The portes reply to
Tissal's semi official communication Of the
scheme is still withheld. 1t has been
heretofore believed that the reply would
not be a direct refusal, but would take
the form of a counter prosOsal to send an
international commission to Epirus
and Thessaly to examine the
frontier question on the spot.
The attitude of Greece, however, renders
any pacific negotiations difficult; and the
Vienna correspondent asserts that the
porte will formally reject arbitration and,
abandoning the idea of counter proposals.
will allow things to take their course.
The question is whether hOstilities will
be postponed until March or begin now.
The final issue of war seems to be next to
Il certainty
The foregoing agrees in tenor with all
that is known on the subject. A Con-
stantinople correspondent says the failure
OF the arbitration project was forcSccn
here from the beginning.
A dispatch from Vienna, says Ger
man, French and Austrian ministers at
Athens are urging Premier Coumoun-
durcis to prudence and patience, but
the mere report that ministry is disposed
TO treat on this question, caused much
excitement at Athens, and a population
of members Of the chambers waited
upon the premier for an explanation.
a St. Petersburg correspondent has had
an interview with Gen. Ignatieff, whom
he reports as saying that the retrograde
movement on the part of the Greek gov
eminent would endanger the throne of
King George and revolution could Scarce
" be confined to Uellnic territory3
Moreover he said if Greece is attempting
to annex Thessaly and Epirus she would
be reduced to position of serious dan
ger. Hence Russia too could not abandon
her Greek re6gionists to their fate
should their existence be impcrillcd.
In the chamber of deputies at Athens
yesterday, Trecoupis, leader of opposition,
demanded explanations from the govern
ment regarding the present position of
the frontier question. He declared that
arbitration would destroy the work of
the Berlin conference. TrccoupiS con-
Guided by saying Europe may tear up the
protocol but the tattercd document will
NC stepped in the blood of the Greeks.
The premier replied that il was unncC-
Cessarv for the ministry to ask either the
chamber or nation TO dictate a reply to
the arbitration proposal. He said we have
acted upon our own responsibility and
Europe understood that we were capable
of executing its decision.
We arc resolved courageOusly TO defend
the interest and honor Of Greece. 1t is
evident from this that even ministerial
reserve and conservatism are powcrless
TO resist the pressure to which the king
and government at Athens are now sub
jCCted. Iercioupious was lately over
thrown because lie didn't move fast
enough to satisfy the popular clamor
Now the ministers are too slow for him.
AS indications Of the warlike fever
prevailing the region of Athens, in an
nouncing the finding of the statute of
Minerva Victorious couples the fact with
the statement that the discovery is made
ut the moment when all Greece is in
arms.
THE TRIAL.
DUBLIN, Jan. IA correspondent says
that Powell, who was apparently indif-
fcrent while the case for the crown was
being stated, developed much watchful
industry in regard to witnesses, making
copiOus notes and passing them to his
counsel 1t is a curious fact that one of
the traversers named Gordon has not up
to the present even come to Dublin, and
the crown has never once inquired after
hm. 1t is stated he is i'll in the western
part of Ireland.
The crown does not trouble itself in re-
card to the whereabouts of defendants.
This has given the traversers much sat-
isfaction and it is probable Beggar, Sex
ton and others will go to the meeting of
parliament
4 dispatch from Dublin says the reason
assigned for prohibition of all land league
meetings Sunday, is that meetings are
calculated to excite ill-fecl;ng among her
'maiesty'S subjects.
\ dispatch from Rome says: In order
Ia avoid the repetition of misrcprescnta-
ton, in regard to the state of ireland
in Catholic newspapers. the pope has TT
qucSted all Catholic journals to submit
their articles on Ireland TO vatican au-
thorities,
