London, Feb. 15. What is practical
ly the break-up of tne European con
cert on tho Macedonia question has
come as a shock to the chancellories
of tho continent and England, partic
ularly as a quiot diulomatlc season has
been anticipated. The assent of Gur
many 'to the management oi Moroccan
affairs by France, tho couclusion of
agreements to maintain the status quo
in the Mediterranean nnd the opening
of negotiations looking to treaties
that should accomplish a similar pur
pose with regard to the North sea
seemed to make tho possibility of dif
ferences arising among the powers re
mote. i
Tho conferences of the ambassadors
at Constantinople also appeared to be
going on smoothly, when a bomb was
thrown Into camp by the anuouhce-.
ment mado by Baron von Bieberctelu,
the German ambassador, that Ger
many would no longer act with the
other powers In Insisting that Turkey
consent to their demands. As to the
cloud that has arisen between Russia
and Austria-Hungary over tho projects
for railroad extensions in Macedonia
of the latter state, tho right of Austria-Hungary
to secure a concession
for tho Novlpazar railroad line and
Mm tiictlrri rt fSnrmnnv ciinnrtrHntr Itc I
ally are recognized in England, but it
is considered that the present time is
inopportune for raising this point.
It is now said that the official
breaking up of all these international
understandings will aggravate thu
Macedonian situation, reopen the
whole near east problem, start a con
test for railroad concessions which
may lead' to serious results and en
able Turkey to postpone tho reforms
for which the ambassadors have been
work.ng.
