the effect that the Sultan has complete
" lost his head that 4 change of SOW
ereign. and possibly of dynasty, is inn
minent; that the party which wants to
make Midhat Pasha Dictator is the
strongest; that the Turkish army shows
mutinous spirit, and that great eN-
element exists in Stamboul. The
Times dispatch from st. Petersburg says
it is believed Russia will set more inn
portanee on the guarantees for the
state Of things to be established
by the congress than on the question Of
the frontiers. The correspondents of
the Times at st. Petersburg and Vienna
both report very sanguine feeling as to
the peaceful result of the congress.
GOING TO THE CONGRESS.
st. Petersburg advices under date
of June Sth say Count Schou-
valoff. Russian ambassador to- Lon
don, and Prince Doubril Russian
ambassador to Berlin, who are to at
tend the Berlin congress, and Chaker
Pasha, Turkish ambassador to ST. Peters
burg, have arrived. Count Schouyalofi
and Prince Oubril had an audience with
the emperor to-day, and start for Berlin
Sunday. 1t is still hoped Gortschakotf
will be able to attend the congress.
GOING FOR SOCIALISTS.
The Berlin National GdseHe the
organ Of the liberals in its issue
Of June Sth says: IF the govern
ment comes before the reichstag
for extraordinary powers to protect the
dynasty and country, we are convinced
such powers win be readily granted by
majority Of the reichstag, the govern
ment of course accepting responsibility
of such powers and their constitutional
application"
TALK OF GERMAN REPUBLIC.
A special from London of the 9Th
says that private letters received from
Berlin speak of the public feeling rs be-
ing profoundedly disturbed. No one
ventures to speak openly i'll extermina-
ton of Nobeling's crime, but i'll private,
men say the country is now ripe for u
republic. France, now under republic
can rule for seven years, is prosperous,
rich and happy. Germany, under the
empire, is poor, depressed and wretch
ed; worse still, the alliance between
the Car and the emperor is
dangerous. Germany may find herself
dragged into war with which she has no
concern; she is kept with her hand upon
her sword and her people, many of
whom find it difficult to get her bread to
eat, are compelled to maintain an i'm
mense army. The popularity of the
Crown prince is as nothing when COM
pared with that of the Emperor. Should
the latter die, republican revolution
might be attempted.
AFFAIRS IN GERMANY.
Berlin advices under date the 9TH
inst, say that it is rumored that the
Berlin criminal court received several
letters threatening the assassination Of
all the sovereigns if Noebling is harshly
treated. The number of arrests in
Prussia for disloyal utterances is in
creaslng.
A protested accomplice OF MODELLING
writes IN anonymous letter TO the Ger
man Gazette, that ten persons, four Of
whom belonged to the Berlin universe
ty, with whom MODELLING drew lots, have
Quilted Berlin. The writer processes
his object is to prevent the arrest Of in
nocent parties. Those he mentioned are
alone implicated. Reports of the con-
ditipn of the emperor, although eXag-
by the quasi government organ rs to
create a suspicion they were forged, and
countenanced by the authorities for the
purpose of manufacturing popular
opinion in favor of strong repressive
measure.
The recent defeat Of the govern
ment's anti-socialist bill in the reich
stag was the source of great chagrin to
the court and cabinet, and they will be
glad to take advantage of the new stu
alton created by DIR. Nobeling's
crime, to reverse it. 1t is expected
an extraordinary session Of parliament
will be had to discuss legislative meas
ures to report the present dangerous ag-
itation.
The Prussian cabinet is also consider
ing the ACCESSIBILITY Of adopting special
measures to prevent the spread of So
Cialism.
AT THE PRJssIAN CABINET COUNCIL,
the crown prince presiding yesterday,
the suggestion found favor that Euro
peans, representatives in the Berlin
congress, consider the dangers threat
ening society from socialism. The sa e
of Nobelings photographs, or their ex-
posure in shop windows, is prohibited.
The municipal council Of Gotha desir-
ing to prohibit the assembling there Of
the proposed socialist congress, legal
adviser of the council has given his
opinion that no provisions Of the Ger
man law authorizes prohibition.
