The Powers are holding another conference at Constantinople, but, according to latest advices, the approaches to a definite understanding between them appear no nearer free from obstructions than at the outset.
At Thursday's sitting the question of protecting the Suez Canal was under discussion. Onou, the Russian representative, expressed his views that the laws binding the conference required that Turkey should first endeavor to restore order in Egypt. Should Turkey not succeed in this endeavor, then the Powers should undertake the task.
Baron Von Hirschfeldt, the German representative, and Baron Von Calice, the Austro-Hungarian Ambassador, concurred in this opinion.
Lord Dufferin, the British Ambassador, said he desired Turkey to take action on condition that the Porte declared Arabi Pasha a rebel.
Said, the Turkish Prime Minister, maintained it to be impossible for the Porte to declare Arabi Pasha a rebel until the Ottoman flag was raised in Egypt, when the conduct of Arabi Pasha would be determined and measures be taken accordingly.
Count Corti, the Italian Ambassador, demanded that the reply of the Ottoman representatives that they accepted the conditions of the identical note be put in writing, to which the Ottoman representatives replied that they must first obtain the sanction of the Sultan.
The conference is awaiting fresh instructions to the Ottoman representatives.
