St. Petersburg and Paris Optimistic, but Austria and Servia Continue War Preparations.

    LONDON, Saturday, Nov. 30.— The plenipotentiaries of Turkey and Bulgaria will sign an armistice to-day, according to The Daily Mail's correspondent at Constantinople. While this definite statement is not confirmed by any source, an official announcement given out at the Turkish capital declares the armistice is in sight, and an agreement may be signed "in a day or two."
    Meanwhile the amelioration of the general European situation continues. The proposals of the British Secretary for Foreign Affairs, Sir Edward Grey, which really amount only to a suggestion that some one capital be made a sort of diplomatic clearing house to facilitate the exchange of views between the powers, has met with approval up to a certain point.
    St. Petersburg dispatches emphasize the pacific intentions of Russia.
    The Austrian Government is prepared, it is understood, to welcome the solution which is suggested by Ismail Kemal Bey, who has been proclaimed Provisional President of Albania by the chiefs of the Albanian tribes. Anxious to cultivate good relations with the Balkan States, he promises to guarantee to Servian trade a free outlet at Durazzo. Austria would agree to this.
    Ismail Kemal, who was formerly the Albanian leader in the Turkish Parliament, has telegraphed appeals to the Austrian, French, and Italian Governments to recognize the new State of Albania and protect it from dismemberment.
