Concert of the Powers Doomed.

London. April 9.-The Athens corre-
spondent OF The Times says:
The opinion of the Greek newspapers
is virtually unanimous as to the recent
declaration Of the powers. 1t is that
the European concert after a conspicu-
Gus failure as TO Crete. is gradually
tending TO dissolution and will be
obliged TO content itself with a mere ad-
mOnition
There Is an evident disincllnation on
the part of some Of the powers to carry
out any programme Of coercion and
weakening Of purpose in the European
federation which is showing signs of
decrepitude. The similarity of language
between the declaration and the recent
warning of The Journal de St. Peters
burg has been noticed here. and this
latest step of the powers is attributed
90 the eastern initiative.
Count Muravien. the Russian for
eign minister has already become the
bete noire of the Greeks. His uniformly
hostile attitude has produced great In
dignation. Well informed persons here
believe that Count Muravien who in-
herits the traditions OF an autncratic
family is resolved to play q mas erful
role In European politics and TO leave
an impression upon the history of his
time"
