The nature of the derision which the Turkish government arrived at todav in not known, but it Is believed to be ueh as to 'enable the peace conference to resume its de liberations. Considering that under the terms of the armlstce Turkey Is de barred from revictuallns; the besieged fortresses, she has little to gain by undue delay. The growing strength of the military party In Constantinople may have an unfavorable effect on the situation. Tire Servian government is doins its utmost to avoid needlessly provoking Austria: Premier Pachltch. according to a Belgrade dispatch, has written to the editors of the leading newspapers urging them to refrain from publish ing articles provocative to Austria and two Belgrade papers have been seised for attacking Austria. Aaabaaaadora Aaauaae Secreey. The Ambassadors of the powers at the meeting today confirmed their de rision to maintain Impenetrable secrecy concerning their discussions, but one of the delegates observed that the se crecy was only apparent, aa on the most Important questions the Ambas sadors would be compelled to consult with the peace delegates In order to ascertain their intentions and the feel ings of their countries. Besides, the same delegate added. It would be useless to maintain secrecy on secondary matters when what is really of capital importance is openly and solemnly proclaimed to the world. He Instanced the speech of JI. Koko vsoff. the Russian Tremler. who. he said, today spoke before the Duma, but in reality addressed his statement to the wholo of Europe in the name of the "great S.jvonic and orthodox power." Aoatrlaa aad German Cordial. It is asserted that the Austrian and German Ambassadors at the meeting today were most cordial, although re served. When the question of the Iardanelles was rulsed It Is reported Count BenckendorfT expressed the de sire of Russia that the jtraits be de clared open only to the Russian fleet and not to the fleets of other countries, as his government wished the Black tfea to remain an internal Russian lake. Concerning the Islands along the Turkish Asiatic coast, the opinion pre vails that they will remain In Turkey's possession, because, owing to their proximity to the Asiatic continent, w hatever country possesses them would be a constant menace to Asia Minor. The idea is that these Islands must be long to the state ruling Asia Minor. Albania la Serious Problem. Albania Is the hardest nut to crack. It being foreseen that whatever solu tion is adopted, it will be a future source of trouble. If Ottoman rule is to disappear from Europe, H is out of the question to have the Turks retain any political or administrative power in Albania under any form, according to the views expressed here, but it is much feared that even an autonomous and neutralized Albania, owing to ra cial, religious, economic and financial reasons, would be unable to stand without direct assistance from the pow ers. On the question of the Servian de mand for an outlet on the Adriatic. M. Novakovitch. called "the Bismarck of Servia." observed that his country asked for nothing except what already had been conquered with the blood of her sons. Indeed. Servia was ready even to evacuate part of the coast of the Adriatic, where the Servian flag now waves, on condition that she be al lowed to retai.t a small port communi cating with the Interior country, which, without an opening to the sea. would suffocate. , "With the exception of Switzerland, which can stand It on accocunt of spe cial conditions." said M. Novakovitch, "no other European state is without the sea." GlIIK DEXIED BY Ul'SMA 7" .Premier Declares for Solidarity of .ot ion by Powers. ST. rETERriBfRG. Dec. IS.

"There is no ground for suspecting Russia of selfish designs or of a desire" to aggravate conflicts. The fundamental principles that will guide the Russian government when the hour for final decision has sounded are indicated by our past. "Faithful to her alliance with France and to her friendly agreements with other great powers and sure of the latter's support, she sees no use In setting up one group of powers against another. "Any government that would aban don the ground of a common discus sion of fundamental questions by ob trudlns its own Immediate Interests would be assuming the grave moral responsibility of possible international complications. F.uropeaa Peace Desired. "The great powers have too power ful reasons for endeavoring to prevent the development of complications which might menace European peace. "The Russian government hopes the united efforts by which the powers are Inspired will help them to arrive at an agreement that will reconcile their interests with the Just demands of the Balkan states. "Actuated by the sincere desire to co-operate with all the means in Its power in the preservation of European peace, the Russian government ex presses Its hope that, with the help of the Almighty,' the efforts of the pow ers will be crowned with success and that events in the future will not harmfully affect the vital interests of Russia, which we are called upon to defend with all our strength In the name of the honor and the dignity of our country."

He con cludes, by congratulating Great Britain on its Initiative in suggesting an Am bassadorial discussion of the points at issue in Europe.
