We cannot end our account of the events of the
week without drawing attention to a very remarkable disclosure made in Wednesday's issue by the correspondent of the Times in Paris,—i correspondent, we may add, who both by the sanity of his judgment and by his power of obtaining sound and accurate information shows himself worthy of the highest traditions of the post be occupies. Count Khevenhiiller, the Austrian Ambassador in Paris, stated that at the Berlin Con- ference everybody knew that the occupation of Bosnia and Herzegovina "was not temporary, but everlasting." "I have received information from a trustworthy source," states the Times correspondent, "according to which Count Kheven- huller is, to say the least, singularly ill informed." When the Treaty of Berlin was being drawn up, the Turkish Pleni- potentiaries refused absolutely to accept the proposal for the Austrian occupation of the provinces without special and binding guarantees that it should be of a provisional character.
