Her Policy on the Eastern (lues
tiOn.

VIENNA, September 1.-THE meeting
between Bismarck and Andrassy will take
place earl y, and it seems almost as il in
preparation for this event that the Ger.
man Cabinet Issued categorical denials oil
the reports that Germany was abou. to
quit, and had to a certain extent already
a bandoned that reserved attitude all
along observed by her in the Eastern
question, and that the representations by
her in ConstantinoPle about the German
convention were but a prelude to the ac,
tive policy in favor Of Russia. In official
circles these rumOrs never found the
least belief, but on the public they did
not fail to make an impression. Conse.
quently contradiction Just on the eve OF
the meeting OF Bismarck and Andrassy
comes conveniently to stop all further
coniectures and inferences which may
have been drawn from them as to the re.
lations between Austria and Germany.

We have alluded elsewhere to the
despoudent comments Of the pro.Russian
paper in London yesterday on the situa.
ton before Plevna. II is no ordinary set
back that the Russians have experienced
at that place. It is in fact their third
defeat. Their loss in the repuIse Of the
llth, this day one week ago, amounted to
10000 men-a terrible loss when we con.
slider that it was incurred in the assaults
Of a single day.
Until PIevna is taken the Russians can.
no, make an advance in force toward any
poip, in Bulgaria, for the simple reason
that the Notifications OF Oman Pasha

He stopped near Racine, Wisconsin, had
a pleasant time, and looks as II he had
taken a new lease of life. Later in the
fall he will go south to Florida, with bis
wife, to spend the winter. Just at this
time, after reading the yellow fever news
from Fernandina, he thinks Florida a
good country to be lar away from. After

shows that Russia is no! expected to do

With the prolongation Of the struggle

measures Of the ministerial party
and the 1876 constitution, and
inclined in many ways to Sagasta's
1869 constitution, into Right Cen
ter" and "Left Center" is most
noticeable, and forms one of the
most remarkable features of the
present Congress. OF all these di-
visions it is impossible to predict the
result. One thing is patent-the
Opposition have all the talent and
eloquence on their side. On the
Banco Azul itself, save Canovas,
there isnOt a single eloquent spaker,
although Ramero RobeldO is emf
nent for audacity and speaking
against time the aged General Ce-
vallos, Minister of War, for quiet
courtesy and the Count Of Terreno
for an extraordinary flow of words.
Canovas IS scholar, a gentleman,
and a man of real enlightment,
yet so many of his majority are
Moderados, or Reactionists at heart,
whose support he cannot afford to
lose, that he is forced to sit, as it
were, between two stools.
