The Prater is siIl busy place. for the work OF re-
moving the goods from the Exposition will take
some weeks before it is ended. The American
goods will be down at Trieste by the 1st or Decem
Der, but the Guard will not reach home until the
spring. 1t is lair estimate to say that at least
onehali OF the things exhibited, especially the
machinery, have been sold consequently the
vessel will not have q full load unless the Phila-
siephia Commissioners secure something besides
mineral specimens. which may be mad for asking
ID time TO send home,
THE PHILADELPHIA EXPOSITION.
A few days prior to the general breakup num-
Der OF prominent representative gentlemen were
discussing the Philadelphia Exposition at the
residence OF our Minister Mr.. Jay. The general
opinion seemed TO prevail that the Philadelphia
Commissioners had not been furnished with eXten-
sive powers enough to do much good here. The
Commissioners themselves spent some three days
say eighteen hours in the Exposition building, in
which space of time they had of course but little
time to speak with exhibitors and government
representatives. They left excellent representa-
tive, who however, had not powers enough to do
much Now, believe, the power has been con-
Aded to another gentleman, who has merely to see
that the mineral specimens and other things Sc
cured are properly shipped at Trieste. 1t seemed
TO be the view of these gentlemen that had the
Commissioners been in Vienna all summer and en-
tered energetically into negotiations with the
various government representatives here, they
might have secured several valuable and cnarac-
terIstic exhibits, which are now on their way back
md may never be seen again.
Among other things discussed was the matter OF
exempting

goods sold. This would certainly be great in
ducement to European exhibitors and manulac-
turers The only difficulty would be that there
would be too many exhibitors sending too many
articles. Thus, in the branches Of meerschaum
pipes and Russian leather goods Vienna would
send shipload herself, and even without any re-
duction of duty being made would drive an i'm
mense business Europe will likewise send us
deluge Of pictures, the greater part OF them second
and third rate. Since the Philadelphia Commis-
sion has decided to permit sales to be made IL
VIII be very necessary that the lines be distinctly
drawn for the guidance OF the European Commis.

description being sent over to a greater extent
than is necessary for the purpose OF exhibition.

REPORT OF THE VIENNA EXPOSITION
to Washington, together with suggestions to the
may be excused for speaking of ore suggestion, as
II appears to me exceedingly valuable. He speaks
OF the invitations that should be extended TO
foreign rulers who if they do not accept in person.
Will send over their crown princes or representa-
tive men. Now Vienna has had over hundred
visits from crowned heads and hereditary princes
and princesses. A great number OF these, espe-
cialy the younger generation, will doubtless
cept the invitation, W hlch, however, should not be
confined simply to Philadelphia and the EXpos.-
ti0n, but be extended to o visit to the
whole OF our great Continent, from Niagara
Falls to New Orleans, from New York to Chicago
and the plains and across TO California, letting
them see the enormous extent OF country, the

and pleasant excursions, taking them everywhere

AUSTRIAN POLITICS.
The Exposition closed, Austria s now turning
her attention to home politics, and endeavorng 10
stem over the financial difficulties which threaten
TO come on Vienna at any moment. The financial
crisis the result Of speculation. This view is
taken by the Emperor Francis Joseph in his speech
on the 5th on opening the Austrian Reichsrath.
VI the many roy al and presidential addresses which
have been made this month In the several Euro
pean States, this one by the HapsDurg is certainly
the most important and pleasing. In the elections
iOr the new Austrian Reichsrath the united par
ties OF unity and moderate liberals have gained the
victory over their opponents, the federasts and
ultramontanes. Francis Joseph's throne speech
gives strong expression to the spirit
which now characterizes the new Reichsrath. The
emperor seems to confde fully in the factors OF
the new PERIOD as If determined 10 cut loose from
The past and Its gloom. He is full OF hope and
hdence IN the future oil the Empire. de invites
his Parliament TO work hand and hand with his
stitutional ie; not to touch the guaranteed rights
OF the single lands, but at the same time to pro-
speaks Of the recent dnanclal crisis as result Of
an oyer-estlmation OF the capital power and the
Over-tension OF credit, and promises that his gov.
ernment will make propositions for relief TO raise
up The sunken confidence and to preserve capital
and commerce from further disturbances. The
concluding portion OF the address, referring to the
Exposition and Austria's present position, Is inter-
estng:-
AUSTRIA AND THE EXPOSITION.
