LONDON. September ga dispatch
20 the Times from Rangoon says: It
: generally bSliecei that orders have
been sent ID the aciual British resi-
dents 4; NaGdSlay, Burmah, to leave
With his party as soon as possible,
without showing undignified haste. He

BRussELs. September 23.-The Nor
seettee ia B09r states that Mr.. Freere
Or6an, NJ MISTER of Foreign Alfairs, has
gone to Rome incognito to negotiate
with The Vatican respecting the atti-
tude OF the Belgian clergy. That Jour-
nal says Cardinal Nina the pspal sec
rotary OF State, inclines to moderation,
but the Jssuits are pushing matters to
extremes. The B lgiau bishops have
asked the Pope for precise instructions,
which the Pope hesitate, to give. The
threatened refusal of the sscraments by
the bishops to elementary school teach
ers who retain their posts under the
new system has 50 far led tn the resis-
"' ton Of only iG0 out Of total of
1900 teachers.

PARIS. September 90. The Bulletin
Les Haltes reports that the new wheat
thresEed so far is unsatisfactory, being
deficient both in yield and quality,
even in districts where it was expected
to be favorable. In several depart
ments new wheat fetches from three to
four francs per qHintsl less than the
old. Some of the new will require
several months drying before 1t can be
milled.
The grape crop of France is short
and of bad quality.
VIENNA, September 23.-The coz
ference between Bismarck and An
drassy undoubtedly contemplates the
consolidation Of the German and Aus
trian interests. The Russian story of
the occupation OF Bosnia and HeIzego-
Vinia served perhaps to effect consol-
idation of all the German speaking
Safes. The main points inducing the
interview between Lord Salisbury and
Washington are the Egyptian ques-
tione, concerning which there exists
a good understanding. 1t is thought
Eogland or France need not pay much
attention to the Bismarck and An
Grassy interview, since it only contem-
plates unity of the two nations repre-.
sented.
