The European Outlook.
Chicago, May 3O.-The Times Lon
don special says the signs of England's
taking a hand in the war accumulate.
The Times correspondent at Berlin.
has given a sketch of the negotiations
going on between England and France.
Bismarck's sudden temperance in
Berlin was caused by an inkling that
MacMahon's coup d'etat was the result
of an understanding between the Tory
government and De Broglie; that in
the event of France joining England,
for the re-establishment of the treaty
of Paris, certain Interior considerations
should be assured to France. These
considerations. which the Berlin cabi-
net is represented as knowing. are the
restoration of Alsace and Lorraine.
Confirmatory of this programme the
English war presses, which at first sa-
luted MacMahOn's revolution with vir-
ulent malignity, have assumed Il new
tack, and are now eXtolling the moder-
alton and conservatism OF the monarch
ical cOnspirators. All attempts to drag
the late Republican ministry into an
alliance with Austria or England were
Intellectual. The Republicans, conf
dent of their strength in the country,
refused to plunge the nation into war,
Simon going so far as to say that France
must now pursue the policy of England,
and grow rich on the misfortunes of
her neighbors.
In Austria, preparations are active.
In Germany the Landsturm has been
ordered out, under the pretense of re-
organization. 1t is n body which has
not been in the field since 1872. Under
cover Of establishing an equilibrium of
the forces on the Rhine, Bismarck and
Moltke give out that the frontier posts
are to be regarrisoned to prevent a sur
prise on the part of France.
Editorially, every paper in London
urges England to prepare to defend its
interests in the East. The generally
of the press say that unless Turkey sues
for peace within the next two weeks,
England must check the Russian adj
vance. The Liberals, hoping to delay
the strong tide for war, have organized
n monster meeting for Gladstone at
Birmingham, where anti-war declara-
tions are to be put forth as a last resort.
Inquiries as to the strength of the
land and naval forces and the number
of gurs are heard on all sides. The
complete cessation of traffic on the
Danube, Black Sea and Suez Canal,
and ever with Russia, is felt in every
form of business. The merchants of
the marine have begun to take precal-
tions in the event of II sudden declara-
tion, and commerce on the Suea Canal
is compelled to pay wal risks. The
English are ready for action.
The British representative in Egypt
is constantly warning the government
that the vital interests of British sub
iects are imperilled and trade wholly
destroyed. The vast commerce with
India is paralyzed and the cereal trade
is utterly annihilated. More alarming
than this, the Mussulman population OF
India, FESTIVE under the apparent delay,
demand to be sent to the aid Of their
Musulman brethren. arrayed under the
banner of the Prophet. Every condi-
ton, industrial, diplomatic and other
wise, pushes the ration forward in spite
of the strong feeling from the Liberal
leaders and the strong feeling from the
Liberal party.
kilograms from Vienna, Berlin and
Paris represent the cabinets of these
countries as hopeless of preventing Il
general collision.
A cautious and well-informed men,
Der of Parliament for a metropolitan
district, is responsible for the assertion
that, if put to the vote tomorrow, his
constituency would demand instant
war for the preservation Of British
| interests
