VIEWS OF THE SEVERAL POWERS
The Vienna papers reiterate that an understanding ex
lists between Austria and Russia and that the latter Power
will support at the Conference the maintenance OF the
treaties of 1915 They even 90 far as 10 declare that
formal alliance between the two EmpIess ID preparation
The OFFICIAL Go=ete Of Venice confirms the intelligence
that Austria has positively refused 10 entertain any project
for the ceson of Vcncta that she proposes the solution

the oonyocaon of the estates of those Duchess ana MALL
tans the inconvenience of the Conference 10 discuss the
affairs of the Gemanic Confederation.
Tho NaSone of Florence believes that the Government
in its note accepting the Conference has avoided touching
upon questions liable create discussion in order not to
delay tho opening of the Conference.
The reply of Prussia, accepting the invitation 70 the
Conference was the first arvc and this TACT - looked
upon as sign OF the peaceful intentions OF that Power
Tie Prussan Government declared IN THIS reply that IT,
was ready TO disarm rs soon as the military measures
threatening Prussia were discontinued. ApprehensCns
are entertained that all the seven Powers which have been
invited will take part in the Conference, as Austria in
accepting the invitation insists ON the eondhoh 'hat TIE
Venetian question shall not be discussed.

thrown down gauntlet TO Prussia by making over Hol
stein the Confederation and ordering Gen. Gablenz to
convoke the States of that Duchy.
The Paris correspondent of The London Daily Nps says

tons be submitted In the terms knoSn adding this

CONGRESS AND CONFERENCE.
Custom confirms the opinion that the two terms Of Con-
eress or Conference may be used unfortunately. Thus
those assemblies were called Congresses which held
at Vienna in 1915, and the four Others which followed
soon after in the midst of peace, at Aixa-Chapee in
1873 the object of which was to deliver France from the
military occupation imposed upon her in 1915, aud to re-
ceye her into the community OF the five Powers; those
of Troppau and Laybach in 1920 and 1891 where the
ercgns of Austria, Prussia and Russia to an under
standing on the of suppressing the Italian Revou
tom finally, that of Verona in 1922 where prepared
the Spanish of 1898 The same name also given
the meeting which took place in Paris on the 3h April
1885, to put end to the Cnmean war But the appea.
ton Of Conference given To the negotiations carried
in London, in 1881, for the regulation OF Belgian az
fairs and which put end TO the war between Holland
and Belgium those which also took place at London, be-
tween England Prussia, Russia and Austria to prepare
the treaty OF the 18th of July 1870 which stopped bra
him Pacha the conqueror OF Sultan Mahmond, in his
march on Constantnope; and those which entered
into by the same Powers aud France who had resumed
her station the European concert to draw up the treaty
of tho 18th OF July lSi relative TO the entry of foreign
ships of war the Straits of the Dsrdanees and the
Bosphors. Examples might be multiplied to establish
that congress conference, considered method for
the negotiation of peace synonymous and that either
the ono other could give rise the hopes aud
produce tho same results. One slight difference may,
however, be nocd that when congress meets the dipo
matte custom il accred, minister an extraordinary
mission, while if 1t is conference the ordinary embassa
dor at the court where the negotiation takes places suf
fees. La Lberte.
PLANS or LOUIS NAPOLEON.
One of the impressions aloat is that in of the dis
cussons Of the Conference being followed BY satisfactory
the Emperor Will tho personal en-
deayors already made in 1858 TO obtain Congress OF
European soveregns, whose assembling in Paris would
coincide with the Great Exhibition of 1867.
