IOHX BILL STANDS AI.OXE l. Only Tourr Opposite Balkan Conference. LONUON. Oct. 9 The Near Eastern iltuntion Is today In a position of sus pended animation, pending the confer ence between M. Iswolsky. the Russian Minister of Foreign Affairs, and Sir K.iward Gray, the British Foreign Sec retary. The Russian Minister arrived here from Paris this afternoon and will discuss with Sir Kdward tomorrow the question of a conference of the powers. Great Britain Is still of the opinion that It would be better for Turkey If the matter were settled without a meeting of the powers and she has not yet agreed to a conference, even In principle. The government Is open to conviction, but only on the ground that the discussion Is limited to what the Foreign Office terms the "present breaches of the Berlin treaty." " Direct Issue 'With Austria. The Austro-Uungarlan suggestion, which bas been officially communicat ed to Great Britain, that the confer ence should be confined to the Bul garian declaration of Independence Is held by the Foreign Office to be wholly untenable. The Foreign Office contends that. If the powers decide In favor of a conference, they cannot Ignore Austrla-IIungary"s breach of the treaty. Great Britain Is not one of the powers favored with the Austria Hungary proposal that the new status of Bulgaria should be recognised, with which Baron von Aehrenthal has de clared he approached some of the powers. Should this be received, the reply wou'd be the same that was sent to Bulgaria, Limit Scop? of Conference. The Foreign Office has been In formed by Sir Francis Bertie, the Brit ish Ambassudor at larls, as to what M. Iswol.-ky will suggest, but this naturally has not been disclosed. Sir Kdward s reply to any proposal that the conference snould deal with mat ters outside the actions of Austrla Hung.iry and Bulgaria will be that In the Interest of Turkey the scope of the conference, should be strictly limited. I'p to the present time, no official Intimation has been received that Tur key Is coming around to the British view that the question should be set tled without a conference. The general opinion in London Is that M. Iswolsky will propose raising the question of the Dardanelles at the conference. In thlfc regard a diplomat closely In touch with the subject pointed out todiy that Great Britain could not desire to alter a settlement that had w.rkcd so Well: at the same time she was not likely to refuse to consider such a proposal. If the change were an equitable one and tho Black Sea thrown open to all nations. It Is believed that the presence of a British fleet In the Aegean Sea will strengthen the Turkish government and Influence the Turkish people against agitating for offensive measures. PROTEST AGAINST ANNEXATION Turkey Doubts Wisdom of Confer ence on Latest Aggression. CONSTANTIXOPI.E. Oct. 9. The pro test of the Porte concerning the annex ation by Austria-Hungary of the occu pied province at Buatiia apd, "nlina J.r" was dispatched to the powers today. It is practically Identical with the protest against the Bulgarian declaration of In dependence. Doubt regarding the success of the pro posed International conference persists In Constantinople. It Is declared here that Austria-Hungary is willing to partici pate to the extent of discussing Bul garian Interests, but she Insists that all debate on the occupation of Bosnia and HTiegovlna be excluded. Great Britain's bint to the Ottoman government that a meeting might only add to the complications and result In further detriment to Turkey may In duced the Porte to abandon Its demand therefor. Many Intelligent Turks say it would.be wise to avoid such a meeting, accept the accomplished facts and de mand compensation from the powers in the shape of execution of articles of the Berlin Treaty favorable to Turkey as well as monetary compensation for loss of the Oriental Railroad in Eastern Rou xnelia. It is rumored that the Turkish fleet has been ordered to mobilize and proceed to Varna, a . Bulgarian port on the Black 9a. The reiterated report that Turkey has ordered the mobilization of the army Is unfounded. The government, however, has Instructed the Turkish commanders on the Bulgarian frontier to be vigilant to repel any aggression. The foreign of fice is not disturbed over the trouble In fcVrvla.
