WHAT rs GOING ON IN EUROPE
rhe position of tho Austrian troops in

|
Bosnia seems to be growing worse and worse.
Gen. Philippovitch has had to fall back, under
! the prctext OF want OF forage. The indiscrimi-
nato executions which he ordered ut Sernievo
| show that he Is losing his head, and that he is
! likely TO provoke hostility even from that part
OF the population which seemed ready to re-
! ccvc the Austrian army of occupation with
| friendly feeling. The removal Of that Generals
headquarters from Scraievo to Brod has created
! considerable disturbance on the Vienna Stock
Exchange.
From Russia there IL little ncws beyond tho
information that the now internal loan IL n fail
urc, that courts martial have been established all
through the country to dcal with political of
fences. and TINT tho Car and his wife have gone
to their autumn residence Of Livadia, on the
eastern coast Of tho Crimca. A number Of
Grand Dukes. including Oonstantnca Alexis,
are in Paris indulging i'm cnf6-chantant and
opera bouffc cnjoymcnts. BY way Of more in
! tcllcctunl entertainment, few nights ago they
made visit to tho Office Of the Figaro.
The great rage Of Paris Just at this moment
Is the captive balloon. Several illustrous per-
sonagcs. including bona Margheritn. the wife Of
Don Carlos. have vcnturcd upon aerial voy-
ages. Sarah Bcrnhardt IL indulging in them
every day. She seems to have discovered in
these voyages n now cure for her delicate lungs
hours n day in the balloon, taking n box Of
paints and canvas with her. and reproducing
the effects Of sky seen at a distance from the
earth. Tho wrong side of n cloud in sunshine
or in moonlight il one OF the most picturesque
things there Is I'm nature. Reflections Of ter
rcstral objects are sometimes visible the
upper surface Of the clouds. While the world
looks an absurd little place. which children
might be supposed TO have made for fun those
sky mirages appear splendid realities. Cynical
people discredit. however. both the artistic and
the hygienic Interpretation Of these airy voy-
ages Of the great actress. They say she il sim
ply advertising herself
Don Carlos. who seems to hc ut his wits end
to know what TO do with himself has also
dcrtakcn balloon voyage in company with his
aid de-camp. Ponce dc Leon. His voyage.
however, was undertaken. not in a captive bal
loom but in loose one, and created consider
able sensation.
The original estimate OF the total cost OF the
Exhibition buildings was ~ 100 600 but 1t has
since been ascortained that it will reach So
600 600 the increased cost being due mainly to
the great difficulties experienced in laying the
foundations in the unstable grounds of tho
Trocadiro. The direct receipts from the sale
Of admission tickets are estimated at abou,
100000. Tho sale OF the old material Of the
buildings Il expected TO realize about VI $50 900.
This would leave deficit Of about o. $50 900.
Against this sum are set surplus receipts by the
Government and the municipality OF Paris, as
timated Mt s2OOOD 600 derived from customs du-
tics. taxes on railways. omnibuses. and cabs.
stamps for letters and kilograms. and excise du-
tics on wines and liquors including those levied
10y the octroi OF Paris. Last year Paris CON
sumed nearly 100 900 900 gallons Of wine. The
probable consumption OF tins year is set down
at - 600 600 gallons more
The criminal classes Of Europe have another
Inconvenience put I'm their way. Germany has
through the medium Of the Chief Of the Berlin
| police. made presentations To- the Russian and
| French Governments Of albums containing
| portraits Of all the noted criminals possessing
or likely TO seek international notorety. The
| Chiefs u the Police Of Paris aud ST. Petersburg
| have Of course been requested to return the
compliment. as n proof Of mutual confidence
and esteem. Referring to this transaction the

Some sensation was created in London by the
announcement that Miss Helen Tayor. stop
| daughter and intimate friend Of the late John
Stuart Mil intended to offer herself as u candi-
! date for the Parliamentary borough of South
wark at the next general elections. The state
