milton OF the rights of R1ssi:

wiped out and Russian commissioner
with Turkish colleagues is to reorgsDjze
the government sud army and control the
elections for the new Sabranie
Russia further claims the right to occupy
the prUcipality until the CIR deems il
proper to withdraw his troops. The i'm.
possible nature of-the declaration sggra-
vaIes the complication. II is reported
| that Prince Bismarck has advised
! Count Schouvsloff to urge the Russian
| government TO refrain from officially pre-
sentiEg them to Austria on tna ground
that they would certainly meet with par
emptory r., tction without discussion.

de4vor 10 postpone the moment in which
