sets forth tho opinion held in Austrian military cir
cles concerning the value OF an alliance with Eng
land. According to the writer England. after pro-
viding for tho safety of her Colonies, would not
have single corps darm<e to put into the hcd to aid
her ally. This opinion IL said to prevail both in
Vienna and Berlin. and in support OF II the eorrc
spondent instances the manner In which the partial
mobilization Of the English army carried out
last year, when. to the astonshment of the world.
England found it impossible. notwithstanding her
most strenuous efforts to collect army Of $4,000

this article concludes by asserting that the Marquis
OF Salisbury only spoke warmly Of the Austro-Cler-
alliance with view to the effect IL might have
on the English electors.
Mr.. Edwards, the father Of the young lady who so
mysrerfously disappeared from Liverpool has mado
statement to the effect that his daughter has
sured him that on the day she disappeared she was
conveyed decoyed into one of the infamous dens
which abound in blandford street. off Stafford street.
and there shockingly "wronged;" and that whom
leased she suddenly resolved to disappear. After
being away a few days and seeing that so much pub
lcity given to her disappearance. she was pre-
vented from returning home by its seeming to pre-
clude the possibility of the matter being hushed up.
When asked why she had not written home to
relieve the anxiety. Of her friends. she answered,
IL wanted you TO believe that was dead; but il
nearly drove me mad to And that was keeping you
in such dreadful suspense" Mr.. Edwards says
his daughter would have told him ever thng about
her wanderings when he first reached her at her
uncles house In London, but, finding that his
questions distressed her. he resolved to cease In

suffering from extreme melancholy, and Mr.. Ed
wards told the writer last night that he would not
allow her to mako full statement until he was
sure she was responsible for what she stated. By
many who know stafford street it is considered
nonsense to believe that crime of such unparal-
leled audacity that alleged by Miss Edwards took
place in broad daylight. AZ the time she disap-
peared each end of the street was raversed by thou
OF foot passengers and was within hail of both
police and the public. II is now generally believed
In Liverpool that Miss Edwards. yielding to an un-
controllable impulse. left Liverpool and went to
Shrewsbury, and the statement OF her being kid
mapped In disbelieved.
