LONDON, Oct. Sir Michael Hicks
Beach, Conservative leader in the
House of Commons, speaking at Sails
bury yesterday, said the Government
was attempting, in concert with the
Powers, to circumscribe the area of the
existing Roumelian disorders.
BERLIN, Oct. THE result of the
recent interview between De Giers,
Russian Prime Minister, and Prince
Bismarck, will be to restrain Servia,
Greece, and Montenegro from attacking
Turkey. Otherwise Austria would, it
thought, certainly make bold strike
for Salonica, and possibly for Constan-
tinople, causing blaze in Russia which
would end in European war.

| LONDON, Oct. 1.-The Times in
sists that to day will prove an important
date in the history ofthe Eastern crisis
at is understood" says the Tines,
/" that the first meeting of the informal
conference of Ambassadors will take
place within the next few hours at Con-
stantinope, while at Nissa, the Servian
Skuptschina will be opened by King
Milan. 1t is plain that upon what is
decided in these two gatherings de-
pends the issue of war or peace. If a
wrong decision is taken at either place;
if the conference takes up too rigid an
attitude with regard to Prince Alexan-
der, or if the Skuptschina decides
rashly upon seperate action, it may be
that before many days are over the
whole Eastern questionwill be re opened
in its most acute and dangerous form. y

mission is for the purpose of having
Roumania considered inviolable ano
accorded rights similar to those en-
joyed by Belgium, if hostiities should
break out. The opinion gains ground
that the crisis is extending, and unles:
the Powers intervene at once, war is
inevitable. The Port, as precaution
airy measure to prevent the reduction
of supplies in the event of war with
Bulgaria, has issued an order prohibit
ing the expectation of cereals
