viz. : that of the Greco-Turkish Railroad ; that 

 of naturalization, which had been pending for 

 several years ; that of the ratification of the 

 Greco-Roumanian trade convention ; and that 

 of the adjustment of boundaries. In a short 

 time the question as to the rights of native 

 Greeks residing in Turkey was settled by the 

 concession by the Turkish Government of its 

 position. The Government adhered steadily 

 to the policy which was outlined in the circu- 

 lar of the minister-president. Nevertheless, 

 as the difficulties in the way of the settlement 

 'of the questions between Turkey and the great 

 powers seemed to increase, it did not neglect 

 to care for the provision of tha country for 

 defense in case of emergencies which should 

 require the exhibition of force. The Cretan 

 Assembly had refused to accept the reforms 

 which had been imposed upon that province 

 by Ali Pasha. The Porte having refused to 

 grant the demands of the Cretans, advice was 

 sought from the Greek Government. It coun- 

 seled them to appeal to the great powers, and 

 await the result. The recruiting-officers of the 

 Servians were ordered to be arrested if they 

 were found within the Greek territory. No re- 

 lations or unions were acknowledged between 

 Greece and Servia, and the hope which was 



expressed by Prince Milan in his manifesto of 

 a participation of Greece in the struggle was 

 pronounced to he without foundation. In 

 July, five cannon belonging to Montenegro 

 were found at Corfu. The Turkish Govern- 

 ment wished to seize them, but the Greek Gov- 

 ernment declined to permit it. The general 

 secretary of the Minister of the Interior, who, 

 on an official visit to Corfu about this time, 

 had put himself in communication with Bos- 

 nian insurgents, was subjected to an exami- 

 nation on this account. 



The Chambers were opened in extra session 

 on the 2d of October, but without a speech 

 from the throne, the King not having yet re- 

 turned from his visit abroad. It was signifi- 

 cantly remarked that his presence was not 

 needed, and on the contrary might have been 

 made use of to the disadvantage of the coun- 

 try by the party of action, who would have 

 made it an occasion for turbulent demon- 

 strations. The address of the minister-presi* 

 dent at the opening of the Chambers made no 

 mention of the Turkish question. M. Zaimis, 

 the ministerial candidate, was elected Presi- 

 dent of the Chamber of Deputies, by 75 against 

 54 votes. On the 1st of October a public 

 meeting, attended by about 8,000 persons, was
