TURKISH SITUATION TICKLIsn.
The Aspect of the Peace Negotiations
Not Improved.

London, June 10.-The latest advices
from Constantinople deny that the pow
ers are advocating direct negotiations be-
tween Turkey and Greece.
In other respects, however, the aspect
of affairs is rather worse than better
1t appears that at Saturdays conference
the ambassadors declined to accept either
Assim Bey or Zia Bey as Turkish peace
commissioner. This, together with their
refusal to discuss the retention of Thes-
sally, threw the sultan into such rage
that he forthwith summoned a meeting
of the special commission appointed to
consider the terms of peace.
All day Sunday he was in Geographic
communication with most of the European
capitals and in the evening he gave strin-
gent orders to the grand vizier, who i'm
mediately resigned.
The special commission sat until the
small hours of the morning, accomplishing
nothing but a split among its members. the
majority of whom expressed themselves
emphatically as opposed to yielding to the
powers.
The Turks are very angry at the alleged
brusque declaration of Sir Phillip Currie,
the British ambassador, that England
will never permit Christians to return to
Turkish rule. 1t is also stated that the
German ambassador is very much dscon-
certed to find Count Nelidoff the Rus
sian ambassador, supporting Sir Phillip
Currie in this respect; and though it is
still alleged that Germany is advising
Turkey to put every man under arms, it
is believed she has seen the ACCESSIBILITY of
falling into line with the other powers.
This view of the matter appears to be
confirmed in a significant article in the
Kolnische Zeitung, last evening, which de-
MES that England is encouraging the
Greeks or Germany the Turks. or that
iG Of IL,
ion between England and Russia, and
adds: ION the contrary all the powers
are seeking to moderate the Turkish de-
mands and to prevent the re-imposition of
the Turkish yoke upon Christian people"
Following upon the reports of Bulgarian
restlessness, it is said on high authority
that the grand vizier officially advised
the sultan last Saturday to revoke the
firman comforting the goVernorship of
Eastern Roumania on Prince Ferdinand,
and to appoint a Turkish pasha in his
place, basing this advice upon Prince Fer
dinand's suspicious attitude and the
friendliness of Russia toward Bulgaria.
If Bulgaria should seriously demand au-
tonomy for Macedonia, the situation
would become extremely grave.
Advices from Athens show that the grav-
ity of affairs is fully recognized there. NJ
Scouloudis, the Greek foreign minister,
said last evening wednesday,: Il do not
hesitate W say tudl the present Is q most
critical moment for our existence as a
nation"
1t is said that the Turks have burned all
villages around Domokos and have occu-
pied and are strongly terrifying the VII
lagos of Trikeri and Angistri, as well as
denfending the entrance to the harbor of
Volo.
The Odessa branch of the Credit Lyon
naise has consigned $4,000 in gold to the
Turkish treasury as a loan by Franco
Belgian group upon Turkish railway guar
antees.
Athens, June 10.-The government has
protested to the powers against the con-
tinued massing of Turkish troops I'm Thes-
sally and the hindrances placed by Turkey
to navigation in the Gulf Of Ambracia. as
