LONDON October 12-The news re.

held In London that the powers will find
friendly solution of the crisis which
has agftated Europe for more than a
week. Servia, II is now thought. has
fallen in line with the other states d.
rectly interested and is taking a more
quiet view of the situation.
The resolution of the Servian national
assembly passed this morning. which
amounts practically to a vote of conf
dence in the government has taken the
matter of Servia's attitude toward Aus
tria-Hungary out of the hands of that
easily-swayed body and placed it with the
cabinet.
Confidence in the Cabinet.
The members OF the cabinet are aware
of the actual condition of affairs and
doubtless will heed the warnings OF the
powers and take no rash step. The pow
ers can therefore continue their negotia-
tions In the matter OF an international
conference without fear OF interruption
by an outbreak from any Of the Balkan
states.
mi30fsy of The powers continue in
favor OF the conference and are opposed
to Great Britain's suggestion that the
matter could be more quickly settled By
an exchange Of notes and possibly .
| meeting of the ambassadors at CONSTANT.
| nople-a course that would avoid the In.
PRODUCTION Of questions other than &C.
| complished facts.
Against British Proposals
There is reason to believe that N. Ise
wolsky, the Russian minister of foreign
affairs. in asking for this conference does
not desire to reopen the entire near-east-
ern question. That he Is asking for
something, however. Is confirmed by Q
statement made today by an official OF
the Russian embassy that Great Brit
ain cannot adhere to the stand she has
taken, namely. that the conference must
be confined to the actions Of Bulgaria and
Austria Hungary
The cabinet had a long meeting this
morning. at which Foreign Secretary Grey
set forth the position he had taken
and explained the views Of NJ. Iswolsky.
At the close OF the meeting the foreign
Office announced that it had nothing to
