o.nrrqbt. 1897, by the United Associated
IVP'' Press.
p.rn Jan. T.-Under instructions
49,, tbe foreign Office, Baron Saurma Won
Itch German ambassador to the
..,e has given persistent support to
n NeHdof, the Russian ambassador
.sropebout the series of ambassadoriaI
.,s.rsnces held in Constantinople, which
-. now about to terminate, but in the
,,,,s,on of the financial and administra-
five reforms proposed by M, Nelidoh'
,ou,eyer Baron Saurma has taken no
-.,r,insnt part. NJ. Cambon and Sir
phpio Currie, respectively French and
nrittsb ambassador, are understood to
hove obtained some important additions
% tbe Russian proposals, which claimed
tho consent of the European governments.
Tho English and Italian ambassadors
olcocated a distinct plan of armed en-
t,-oernent of the decisions of the powers,
and argued that the presentation of the
reform projects to the sultan should be
.ccomnanied by an explicit declaration
that tbe movers were prepared to enforce
them by sea and land
The report is entirely credited in ottlclal
on5 diplomatic quarters here that Sir
pbIin Currie placed before the ambassa-
B dors fully matured project of naval and
military operations, designed to cover the
&ooounation of Constantinople, the Darda-
#re.es and the Bosphorus and also TO over
su4 the Moslem population in the all too
#rrobable event of a rising and attempted
Il #nassacre. To any consideration of coer-
KCon. Baron Saurma took decided stand
In opposition. The kaiser obviously con-
#tnues TO ho.d that the sultan must be
Eirusted to carry out the reforms and that
bis sovereign powers should not be inter-
&fered with. NJ Nelidoff professed no I'M
#Tllingness to agree to the, principe of CO.
trcoon, but opposed the English proposals
Ztn the ground that they were premature
q md that the sultan must have time in
#knich to act. On this point of time COM
nunlcations are proceeding between the
# overs
Il The English government, which appears
10 think that the kaisers opposition to
coercion will disappear if France and
Russia agree to act with England, is ne
sotating directly with st. Petersburg and
Paris. It's known here that under no cir
lmstances viii Russia assent to any form
n armed Interference until the spring
well advanced, the Black sea ports un-
@tructed by ice and the roads, railways

Z ondiu0n 1t is a winter of almost I'M
tcedeated mildness in Southern Russia,
eng as warm as early spring at Odessa,
nd traffic with Nicolaieff and Kherson is
VI. open. But it is no part of the Rus
IAN policy TO permit a concerted armed
teVenu0n in Turkey. The sultan will
time and take it.
