The Turkish delegates declared" the demand was outside the San Stefano. Treaty, that that could accomplish what the Powers desired, and that he had emphatic instructions to refuse the concession. Prince Bismarck lectured the .Turkish delegates-severely/on. .their obstinacy and ingratitude^ and urged them to apply for fresh instructions, permitting their adhesion to the viewsof jCorigress. Owing to this.. snub, Mehemet Ali absented himself, both from the Congress and the receptions, during the past.week. The Russian delegates resented the-British demand "for the right of Turkish trodps tp garrison the , fortresses: to the south of ' the Balkans, preventing, the lencroachmens of Bulgaria into Roumelia, resent this, and finally, referred to the Czar for instructions, who replied, yielding the point. -This was considerad to be a great trininphfor England:' On, the other hand, Russia, succeeded in getting the Congress to consent to include in the Bulgrrian Principality,the Landjak of Sophia on the west, and the fortress of Varna on the east.
