fresh element or uncertainty has been intro
duced In the Egyptian question by the action Of
Italy IN seeking TOR herself and other Mediter-
ranean Powers the right to participate in
the administration OF Egypt despatch from
Rome says as soon as the Italian government
was appriscd OF the intention to give an interna-
tional character to the Egyptian administration
1t sent representations to the Khedive and to the
Paris and London governments, declaring Italy
should be considered in the arrangements,
as she has many interests to- protect IN
Egypt The Khedive replied that italy's
claim would be just II an international adj
minstrarion was intended: but though some
foreigners might enter the Cabinet, they would
have no foreign official character, and he was de-
termined to maintain the complete independence
OF the Egyptian administration. England and
France replied to Italy that the appointment OF
English and French subjects was merely an act Of
courtesy not OF political significance. Italy never
rneess insists that her rights and interests be
spected. The exchange Of views continues. The
ODinio,se, OF Rome, has published an article seek
ing to demonstrate that ministerial crisis is In
evitabe, and will probably be caused by retire
ment OF the Minister OF Foreign Affairs and the
Minister OF War, In consequence of tho rest OF the
Cabinet not supporting the formers action at tho
Berlin Congress. This, though denied by ministerial
journals, has caused considerable sensation.

RUSSIA, TURKEY AND AUSTRIA
The Russian Commissioner tor Roumclia has made
. statement That the Russian authorities will ad-
minister that province In accordance with the
Tredty Of san Stcfano, and not with that
Of Berlin. The other Comm issioncrs conso.
quenty have asked their respective governments
Tor instructions. Tho Pore's counter project Tor
reforms In ASIA Minor contains slight cd nca
lions OF the English scheme. II is expected that Eng
land Will accept tho notifications, ana tho scheme
Will DO published Immediately. The Vienna Pol,ttcaJ
Correspondence reports that despite the nnai col.
lapse OF tho negotiations for convention Turkish
government circles continue to attach the zrea,est
importance to the maintenance OF undisturbed rea-
tions with Austria. At recent sitting at Bucharest
Sunday tho Roumani,n Chambers resolved 10 close
tho session with a resolution declaring that Rou.
mania submits to the collective Will of the
Powers as manifested by The Treaty OF Berlin.
An autograph letter OF the Emperor Francis
Joseph viii appear to-day the official
journal of Vienna accepting tho designations OF tho
Cislcithan Ministers. but ordering them to remain
Professionally in Office. II seems that Count An
drassy is disposed to put OF the assembling
OF the Legislatures until some time in Novem-
Der, by which time, II is hoped the Bosnian
question will be completely settled. Tho Emperor of
Austria on his return to Vienna from GodoIio will
grant audience to loading members tho Austrian
Parliament the subject OF tho OF tho
Cisleithan Ministry.
FIGHT TURKEY.
II is thought at Vienna Austria will gradually
DRIFT into war with Turkey. For tho present.
however, NJ. Tsza is presumed to have
stipulated that tho Austrian occupation
shall not bc pushed further until tho Rsichra,h
meets. Tho Times despatch from Vienna
says tho Sultan, while declining to sign tho
convention promises not to encourage Bosnian re-
sistapce and hopos Austria on her sdo will urge
for the present her treaty right 10 gar
rison Novi- -Bayar. which would bo certain
10 provoke resistance. Tho Times correspondent de-
clares that tho accusation OF inhumanity Is
brought against the Austrians merely 10 JUS
tify the sultan's refusal to sign tho convention.
Tho Standard has reason to believe that a com
prchensive scheme In reference TO Turkish nnances
under tho sanction Of tho Powers, Will bo pub
hshcd.
