CAR WANTS CONFERENCE
Russians and British Working
on Balkan Problem

ST. PETERSBURG, Oct 1.-THE CEN
ter of interest in the near eastern
crisis has been transferred to London
and the Russian foreign office is mark
ing time in its negotiations with other
powers concerning the convocation of a
congress until the outcome of the con-
ferences between NJ. Iswolsky, Sir Ed
ward Grey and King Edward are
known. The cordial welcome extended
to the Russian foreign minister in Eng
land and the expressed wish by both
parties to the conference to find a pa
cihc and acceptable solution of the
Balkan problems are regarded in the
highest ministerial circles as assuring
an ultimate agreement between Great
Britain and Russia on the question of a
congress of the powers, although no
definite progress has yet been officially
reported here, the scope of the pro-
posed congress and as to whether the
call shall be issued by one or several
powers being still in allegiance.
The question of the recognition of
Bulgarian independence has for the
time being dropped out of sight, but
Russia has assured Bulgaria that she
viii support her pretensions before the
congress. Russia, however, will take
no action with regard to the recogni-
tion of the Austrian proposals unless
the plans for the holding of the inter-
national conference fall through.

LONDON, Oct 12.-The near eastern

notifications are concerned, remains
where it did "a hours ago. There has
been unusual activity at buckingham
palace today, to which the king re-
turned last evening, and at the British,
foreign office and the Russian embassy.
wnere NJ 1swolsky, the Russian foreign
minister, is staying, the officials were
busily engaged In an exchange of tele
grams with the European capitals.
There also have been numerous ex-
changes of courtesies, the king and
other members of the royal family and
the cabinet ministers showing NJ Iswol-
SKY much attention. The Russian min
lster, accompanied by the Russian am
bassador, Count Benkendorf, lunched
with the prince and princess of Wales
at Marlborough house, after which he
was received by the king at Bucking
ham palace.
After the cabinet meeting tomorrow
the foreign secretary will again meet
NJ lswolsky, and so certain are all the
parties concerned that tomorrow's meet
ing will bring the negotiations to a
successful close that it is predicted that
statement to that effect will be intro

prompted the Cretans to declare union

expresses its willingness that the pow
