NO CHANCE or AN AGREEMENT
lNTHE CONFERENCE

VIII Again be Turned Over to the SICK
ATan-lnactivlty on His Part Certain TO
be Followed by an Explosion Sooner
or Later.
LONDON. Oct. 3l.-The Kingdom OF
Greece has been Obliged bv recent events
to carry economy to the point OF largely
reducing the number OF officials employed
on the state sraf' and is now meditaung
on the expediency OF reducing all STATE
salaries per cent, and Of deductioS9
similar amount from the public treasury,
thereductous to be maintained during
the Mobilization Of the army.
The st. Petersburg slave committee OF
charity have sent 5000 winter oYercoats
te the Bulgarian troops engaged IN the
preseut uprising against Turkey. The
prevailing opinion among European
statesmen is that the con elence Of the
movers convened at COnstantlnople at the
POrte's request to decide upon the best
mole Of adjusting the Balkan trouble IS
that the conference will end in complete
failure.
DIVISION OF THE CONFERENCE.
This is deemed inevitable because of
the nature of the division among the
parties to the conference. England,
France, and Italy will, it Is thought,
stand firmly together in favor Of standing
by the accomplished fact Of the union OF
Bulgaria and Eastern R0umelia under
Prince Alexander, while Russia, Ger
many, and Austria will Insist upon the
restoration OF the StdtUS quo anti. When
the sultan first called the conference the
three empires loudly declared
their Intention OF insisting upon
the restoration of the Sf0tuS quo ante,
but since England France. and
Italy have Joined haucs on the question.
the empires rave changed their diplO-
matte utterance and now say that they
will insist upon the restoration of the
status QpO ante as a preliminary basis for
argument--that is, they Will not discuss |
the question AZ the conference unless the /
condition existing in the Balkan States |
Just previous to the recent union OF Rou- /
melia with Bulgaria is first agreed TO as !
the basis OF argument.
HIGH SOUNDING BACKDOwN.
This may he taken as Understanding |
breakdown. 1t amounts simply TO this:
Russia. Germany and Austria will de- /
cline to discuss the situation upon the /
only basis acceptable to England, France /
and italy, while these three powers will /
not discuss it on the basis demanded by |
the empires, hence, il the conference adj |
journs before an agreement, the |
whole question will be relegated /
TO Turkey, which tried to escape it |
by throwing it upon the conference. |
Turkey viii not know which way 10 turn,
for il she tries 10 depOse Alexander and |
disunite Bulgaria and Roumelia she will /
be acting contrary to the declared policy /
Of England and her two partners, while /
If she allows the union to continue she |
will be opposing the wishes Of Russia and /
Der sister empire.
DANGER IN INACTIVITY.
II Turkey remains inactive no foresight |
can discern the Importance of the outcome /
of a continuance Of Prince AleXander's (
ascendency. The chances are that Tur-
key, unless driven by self-detense TO fight /
the rebelliOus States, will remain inactive !
and allow the Balkan mine TO continue to /
be charged with political dynamite until /
the inevitable explosion rends Europe.
Dispatches from ConetantinOple tonight !
state very positively that Prime Minister !
Salisbury has explicitly instructed the |
English representative at the conference /
to insist for England upon continuance /
of the union OF Bulgaria and ROumeha /
under Prince Alexander.
Dispatches also state that the French /
delegate has received identical instruc-
lions from his government with those
sent to the English delegate on all the
main points OF the controversy, and that
Russia has ordered her delegate TO oppose |
the Bulgarian union, and To insist upon |
the deposition Of Prince Alexander. The |
latest advices from COustantinOpe aver |
that Turkey with the aid OF German /
officers is doing her utmost to improve the /
condition of her army, and that German |
officials are advising the Sultan in his |
civil affairs.
TURKEYS REPRESENTATIVE.
CONsTANTINoPLE, Oct. 3l.-The Sultan
has appointed Said Pasha, Minister of
A n - fah
tiary to the Roumelian conference.
NO SHOW FOR ARMENIA.
PARIS, Oct. 3l.-A deputation of Ar
menians waited upon Nj. de Freycinet,
Minister of Foreign Affairs, to-day, aud
urged him to insist that the CONFER
ehce to be held at Constantinople
shall include in it's discussion the wants
of Armenia. NJ. de Freycinet in
reply SAID be was sorry TO refuse their re-
quest, but the conference would be I'M
able 10 discuss any matters outside OF the
Roumelian inibrogllo.
EFFECT OF RUssIA's OPPOSITION.
PHILIPPoPoMs. Oct. 3l.-Russian op-
position to the union OF Eastern ROumelta
and Bulgaria is causing fresh agitation
against restoring the status quo auto. II
this is attempted the Macedonian vOlun-
teers will join the Bulgarlans.
AUSTRIA ATTITUDE.
VIENNA, oct. 3i.--Count Kalnoky, the
Austro-Hungarian foreign minister, ad-
dressing the delegation to-day, stat
that the relations between Austria-Hun-
gary, Germany and Russia were I'M
changed. TIE concord between Austria
and Germany, be said, cannot be broken
by casual incidents. There is no special
understanding with Russia beyond Ordi-
nary international treaties. The fact
that none OF the powers had recognized
the Bulgarian union made its position a
negative one. Therefore, no official steps
had been taken TO territOrially cOmpen-
safe other States. Count kalnoky de-
clined TO reply 10 question with refer
ence to the Balkan conference, except
that 1t would only discuss Reumelan az
fairs.
AUsTRIA's STAND TOWARD sERYIA.
Austria's position toward servia. he
said. was that OF a friend and well.dis.
posed neighbOr and adviser, claiming no
influence that might effect the freedom OF
Seryia's decisions. No demand had been
addressed to servia implying an unwill-
ingness 10 protect her Interests ia the
event OF Servia trying 10 occupy
new territory before the close
OF the conference. Neither would be-
admit that Austria would protect
Seryia'sinterests under all circumstance.
a. the effect Of such al admission would
