FoREIGN
RoME.-On the 25th the Holy Father receiv
ing q number of Piedmontese pilgrims, ex
pressed his pleasure that the season for pilgri
images had returned, and that the first to ar-
rive were the citizens of Italy, country de-
stined to preserve within its bosom the See OF
the Vicar of Christ. He said that efforts are
making to root out faith, but people of Italy
would not allow it to be taken from them. He
was confident that the Catholics of Italy
the more because the difficulties OF the Pom
tif's position are becoming more serious. De-
voted sops Of the church ought to devise some
just and legitimate means for Smeliorsting the
situation.
Several German Bishops are expected in o.
tober to report on the operation If laws in
also been summoned to the Vatican to consult
concerning their future positions. These steps
are connected with the pending negotiations
between the Vatican and Germany.
FRANcE.-Gambetta's speech sgainst the
Catholic Church has created o profound seuss-
tion throughout the country. Though the Rad
iosl papers generally support the ex-Dictator,
they agree in blaming him !for being 80 out
spoken, as his words have created muchtupeas-
iness among the moderate Republicans. 1t is
not thought that the speech will con tribute to
bu0 SUCCESS OI Uuo nopuULlCSuS III Juo 0ppEOACu-
ing Sen natorisl elections when they hoped to
secure q majority in that body. As published
in the RepubHqwe FrGncdise, Gsmbetts's own
paper, it is much toned down.
AUSTRIAN OCCUPATION OF BOSNIA After
several more severe engagements in one Of
which the Austriaps defeated 76e6 Insurgents
and Turkish regulars, themselves losing 400
killed and wounded, the Austrisns have sue
ceeded in taking all the strongholds and strnt-
egic points in Bosnia and may now be consid-
cred masters of the country.
GERMANY.-Attention has been principally
directed during tae week so the action Of the
Sub COMMITTEES to which the anti-Socialist bill
was referred. at first the National Liberals
voted with the Conservatives. giving the gov
ernment majority as against the Centre or
Catholic Party and the Progreesists. Subse-
aueatly, however, the government found itself
in minority and several propositions made
by Count Ealenburg, Minister of the IL terror,
were voted down. 1t is not considered very
probable that the bill will pass the Reohttag ag.
ANOTHER WAR IN PRosPECT-The irrepres-
sible conflict between England and Russia
has broken ont in Asia, attended by such cir
cumstanoes as strongly indicate the danger of
war between the two countries. AfghAnissan
stands in theShighwsy between the out tposts
Of Russia and those of her submissive allies on
the one side, and that jewel of the British
Crown, India, on the other. Both England
and Russia have long been coquetting with
the Ameer of Afghanistan, irving to secure
his friendship. Recently the Viceroy of India
sent a message to the Ameer, stating that he
would at an early day send q mission of high
officials to CabuI. The letters remained un-
answered and when the mission reached the
Alimusjid river, the officers were not only re-
fused permission to cross, but were told that
they would be shot if they attempted to pass. |
There is little doubt that the threat was made
in pursuance of the Ameer's orders, thus prov |
ing conclusively that he is under the immedi- |
ate influence of Russia. The English and |
Anglo-1ndian papers unite in calling upon the |
Government to demand full apology from |
the Ameer, in default of which they call for |
his chastisement. Gen. Roberts, oommsndant |
Oh She frontier, has already started with secret
orders for his head quarters, and ~ 900 men |
are concentrated on the frontier.
mEXlCo.-Presdent Diaz has sent message |
20 tne h1exlcan Congress stating that Mexico
oesired to cultivate peace with all nations, es-
peoially with the United States, and is de-
Germlned at the same time to maintain it's in
dependence and honor. The President also

tual military cooperation on the Rio Grsnde,
