forms in Turkey.
London, Jan. 21.-The government has
issued d blue book containing the official
correspondence in regard to the projsc ct
ed reforms in Turkey. The correspond
ence shows that on September % last,
Lord Salisbury proposed that the powers
take measures to enforce their proposals
and that in the event of unwillingness
on the part of any power to assume its
share in the coercive measures applied,
that power should not oppose the action
of any other. Austria gave her assent to
this proposition without qualification,
and later Germany assented with the
proviSo that any coercive action taken
by the powers against Turkey must he
unanimous, and further, that the integ-
rity of the Ottoman empire must be main
tanned. Italy gave her absolute assent
to the proposal, but Russia objected to
any scheme which involved the applea-
ton of coercion to make 1t operative. In
interposng this objection M. Shishkin,
then at the head of the Russian foreign
office stated that coercive action was re-
pugnant to the car. In reply to this
Lord Salisbury expostulated with the
Russian minister, saying that 1t would be
useless for the powers to make further
concerted representations to the porte
in regard to reforms unless they were
prepared to enforce their proposals.
On November "a, NJ. Shishkin wrote TO
Lord Salisbury saying that the car had
agreed to consider the question Of CO.
ercion If the sultan should prove recalci-
trant and the other powers were unani-
mously in favor of resorting to coercion.
About the end of December, France gave
similar assent to measures of coercion
and the governments Of Russia. Austria
and Italy reaffirmed their adhesion to.
that plan of action.
Lord Salisbury's correspondence on the
subject closes with n letter dated Jan. 2.
