CONFERRING IN BERLIN.
u. Is1colsky,s Statement-Doumas s
4ttitude TozCard AUSTRIA.

St Petersburs Oct 25-No announcem ent
was made to- day by the Foreign Office regard
ing the progress of negotiations at Berlin h"-
tween NJ Iwosky. the Russian Foreign Min
lister, and Prince Btlow. the German Chan
cellor The conference, as far can be learned
has brought no definite results, and will be con-
tinued on Monday.
Advices from Berlin, however, have not less
ened the confidence here that the proposed in
ternatfonal congress will ultimately be accepted
by Germany, although the negotiations are like
ly to be continued for some time after the re-
turn of NJ Iswolsky The invitation to take
part in the congress, therefore, will be CORE
spondingly delayed.
NJ Iswolsky said to-day to the "Novoe
vremva's' Berlin correspondent that Austria's
action was blow at vital Slavic interests, and
that the indignation of the Russian press and
public could easily be understood. He asked
the people to suspend judgment with regard to
his work until his return to Russia, when he
hoped, with the Emperor's permission, TO make
a statement before the Douma. Any premature
publication of his programme he said, would
have an injurious effect the negotiations.
It is reported that the Octobrists in the
Douma have decided to support the Foreign
Minister. but President Khomyakoff, in On In
terview. said that Russia should refuse to rec
ognize the annexation of Bosnia and Herzego-
p vina which was a mere prelude TO further as-
gressions on the part of Austria Hungary. He
also was opposed to opening the Dardaneles
urging that Russias interests could be better
served with the strait in the hands of friendly
Turkey.
The news of the proposed visit of the Servian
Crown Prince the most interesting develop
ment to- day. The coming to st. Petersburg OF
the young Servian, who has been uttering war
like sentiments, is regarded in certain dfplo-
matte circles as a direct menace 70 peace, since
1t is believed. the favors shown TO him here
would encourage the war party in Servia. II is
believed however, in other quarters that the
prince has permission to accompany the ENJOYS
to ST Petersburg in order to give the Servian
government q better chance of tanning the mob
spirit prevalent in Belgrade.
