ENGLAND URGES ACTION.
John Bull Says Austria Has Broken
Faith.

London, Feb. 1.-THE leaders In
donia are urging upon Sir Edward
Grey, the secretary for foreign affairs,
that the breaking up Of the concert
OF powers gives the government OPP
portunity for action which should
bring about beneficial results. They
contend that Great Britain is now free
to act vigorously and, being outside
of the group of concession seekers,
here demands will be the more likely
to receive. attention.
The cabinet, as yet, has not decided
whether Great Britain will act indie
pendently, but the foreign Office is for
mulating new scheme, which will
be outlined by the foreign secretary
in speech on Feb. %.
Among the press and public the
breaking up of the >concert is over
Swallowed by fight for railways,
which Austria, with the sympathy IL
not the support of Germany, has
started. All authorities adhere the
first impression that Austria's action
is inopportune and an apparent breach
of the understanding with Russia
whereby these two powers agreed not
to seek concessions without crossing
each other.
Thus far there has been but little
reference to the notification of the
German ambassador at Constantin-
ople, Baron MarschaH Won Bier
beistein to the other ambassadors.
that Germany would no longer act
with the other powers in insisting
that Turkey consent to their demands
but officially that Is considered the
more serious phase of the question.

st. Petersburg, Feb. 17.-Baron Won
mination Of Austria to build rail-
road through Novipazar, as connect
ing link for the Austrian line through
Bosnia, with the Turkish line to
Saloniki and the announcement by the
German foreign Office of its financial
support of this plan have left no IL
lusions here regarding the fate Of the
agreement, looking to joint action in
the Balkins, negotiated by Emperor
Nicholas and Emperor Francis Joseph
at Muerbstegg in the autumn of 1903,
which was the ground work Of the
subsequent programme of reforms In
Macedonia
The attitude of the Russian foreign
offices as learned through the inspired
press, is that the agreement, which is
regarded as already violated In spirit
by the Austrian foreign minister's
efforts to extend and consolidate the
Austrian sphere of influence by pri-
vate bargain with the sultan for con
struction of the railroad should be
abrogated.
Russia is now left free hand to
work out her own policy In the near
east Negotiations are stiIl being
conducted to the end of inducing Aus
tria to withdraw her railroad scheme,
but no hope of their success is held
out on either the Austrian OF the Rus
rian side.
The Russian ambassador to Turkey,
M. Zinovieffff, at lengthy audiencey
with the sultan on Friday, submitted
Russias objections to the construc-
ton Of the proposed railroad, which
it is confidently expected here, will
result in the postponement of the Aus
TRAN project
The impression that Austria is act
ing with the full cognizance and sup
port of Germany, which has been
confirmed by formal statements given
out by German government officials,
has resulted in an outburst of anger
against that country affecting all
circles of the Russian press and pub
lie. This antagonism Is felt with
especial force in the army, where it is
believed Teutonic influences are back
of Turkish activity on the Perso,Rus-
sian frontier, which again has as
sumed a menacing phase.
