there hns been so much uneertalnty
and sp*K-ttlation. and whlch may have

ln tho event of war, ls explained by
Take Ionescu. leader of the Democratlc*
Conservatlves, who is about to assumo
the DOtrtfoMo of Foreign Affalrs ln the
Ruohaiest government. Answerlng a
requeal by "Tbe MornitiK Post" for
news r.-Kitrding the Balkan situation,
he said:
"An understitmling __| been come to

"For several reasons a European

is 'indecstood here that Oreat Britaln

in the needed Turkish reforms, when,
in 1S70. that country rose up ln a body

t|aa cf that year.
Britiah Support Expected.
Even wlth England's stip|*ort, and
this Is expected to come to-morrow, the
crisls ls not removed. The great ques
tion remains as to whether the powers
can obtain reforms from Turkey exten
slve enough to satlsfy the mllltant lial
kan States.
BepOTla received here give the Bai*
kan Kovornmenl's irreduclble minimum
as complete natlonal autonomy for
Macedonia, wlth Christlan govern?rs of
the provinces. the ereation of a locai
nillltla and the wlthdrawal of theTurk
ish troops. Turkey ls descrlbed as
wishlng to be eoneillatory and mod?
erate, but conslderable doubt is ex
pressed as to whether Turkey would
ever accept such demands as theae.
Austria has given adheslon to the
plan formulated by the Freneh and
Russian foreign mlnlsters to deal with
the Balkan sltuatlon. Austrln, how?
ever, suggested n slight change ln the
wordlng of the proposals, whlch met
wlth. the lmmedlate approval of both
IL Polneare and M Sazonoff. The only
effect of the amendment is more
sharply to defUM the intentions of the
powers and present a more preclse
statement thereof.
Il Is understoo' that the proposals
do not include a demand for the au?
tonomy of Maoe-donia, but urge the
adaptntion of the provisions of Article
28 of the treaty of Berlln, providing
for a larger measure of home rule. It
ls belleved here that the propoaala as
now outllned will remove any lurking
suspiclons ln Knglnnd that the Conti?
nental powers posalbly were contem
platlng a settlement wholly at the ex
pense Ot Turkey.
The Propoaala to Turkey.
The Freneh government ls confldent
that all the prellmlnarles will be com
pteted in time to permlt Russia anl
Auslrla as the mandatories of Kurope
to present a collective note to Sofla,
Helf-rade, Athens and Cettlnje to-mor?
row, or at the latest on Tueaday. As
soon as this is done Turkey wlU be In
vlted to glve guarantees which will
render effectlve the promlse that Ku?
rope will take upon her shoulders the
responslblllty for tho reallzation of the
reforms.
The feeling prevalls In offlcial eir
clea that this guaranteo offered by the
powers ought to satlsfy the Balkan
States. if. as they profess, their sole
motive in mobillzlng agalnst Turkey
was to force the reforms provlded for
ln the treaty of Berlln. At the same
tlm** it ls reallzed that whlle the gov
ernments ln the coalltlon may be wlll
Ing to accept thls guarantee they are
feeling niore and more the pressure of

I B>- ('able to The Trttiun- 1
I.ondon, Oct. 6.?The chief lnfluence
on the European stock marketa last

tion. In the eurlier part of the week a
conditlon nlmost of panic resulted on
tho Contlnental bouraes from the fear
of war. Berlin. Vienna and St. Pr-tera
btirg belng the chief sufferors.
Berlin felt the effects most. though
Vienna la nearest the seat of trouble
and Austria and Kussla nre the coun
trles most ln dnnger of becoming ln
volved. In Berlin small Investors lost
millions of dollarn through the hurried
throwlng over of securities, and the re
stilts ln Vienna and St. Pctersburg
wore only less sorious than in the Oar?
man capltal. The panic began on
Tuesday and lasted through Wednes?
day, since when a tendency toward
stondiness and recovery was manl
fostod. owlng tc. news of tbe endlng of
the war between Italy and Turkey and
|0 the growing belief that the trouble
ln tlM Balkans would be strlotly local
I'.ed lf it cannot be prevented.
Paris nnd London held more optl
mlstle views than the other "European
centres and consequently suffered less.
