LONDON. Dee. 11. A
mlstlc view of the IntuntatlonRl situa
tion was expressed by Sir Edward Grey,
tho British foreign secretary, when he
formally announced In the lloUBe of
Commons this nftemoon that ambassa
dors of tho great powers would meet In
London simultaneously with the pleni
potentiaries of Turkey and of the Balkan
states, who are to discuss peace here.
Sir Edward defined tho object of the
ambassadors' (fathering an Informal and
noncommittal consultation, which Is, of
course, nn Indication that the European
powers are not yet suro that a solution
of nil the difficulties Is in sight.
Commenting upon tho European situa
tion the secretary for foreign affairs
?nid:
"Hopes and anxieties have varied from
Jay to day and may continue for some
Mnio to vary. It Is difficult to say any
thing without causing undue pessimism
jr raising hopes which might subse
tucntly be disappointed. The relations be
tween the governments of the powers are
amicable, tho diplomatic situation Is fa
vorably and little anxiety lest some
mtoward or Unforeseen Incident occur."
t'onniiltnt Ion I Iiiformnl.
The consultations of the ambassadors
are to bo Informal and noncommittal.
This is, of course, an Indication that the
European powers are not yet sure that
a solution of all the difficulties is In
sight.
"On the other'hatid," Sir Edward con
tinued, ' "the fact that all the powers
luivo agreed to eonie to closer quarters
for discussion, may bo taken as an evi
dence that tliole Is no one among them
who believes such a tolutlon impossible
01 that an agreement Is not more prob-'
Mile than a deadlock.
"When .once the .conversations .-lt-,Xon-:
.Ion have bfjRunend tho representatives
jf tho powers arc In a, position to dlscusH
the questions around a table they will
be In closer touch and there should bo
Ys danger of any one's drifting apart
from the others and unforeseen points of
llfflculty mtslng.
"Wo trust.thcreforc, that the conversa
tions of tl'.c ambassadors' will begin as
toon as possible."
Emphasizing that It Is the Intention of
the government to facilitate an exchange
3t views between the powers, especially
on points most directly affecting the In
terests of any of the great powers con
erncd. and that the conversations would
not constitute a conference. Sir Edward
:rey added "that should a formal eon
feience he found opportune, or necessary.
It would presumably meet In Paris, as.
the suggestion first emanated from Fre-
ulcr Polncare of France." i

i tice in his home city.
Edward John Phelps, who last held the
Kent professorship, died In l;M. He waa
a distinguished lawyer and an active
democrat. Under President Fillmore Mr.
Phelps was appointed second comptrol
ler of the treasury and In 1SS? was presi
dent of the American Bar association. In
the same year he was the unsuccessful
democratic candidate for" governor of
Vermont, his home state. He was made
minister to Great Britain by President
Cleveland In 1883 and served until tho end
of that president's first term.
The Kent endowment ays $3,000 a year.
