AUsTRo.GERMAN ALLIANCE.
LONDON, Sept. 23.-A dispatch from Vienna
says tho conference between Bismarck and
Andrassy has resulted in an agreement that the
German and Austrian interests in all pending
European questions are Identical and that the
condition of Europe is suoh as will leave no
doubt the two empires will be able to assist
those interests peaceably. correspondent at
Berlin says the nature or aim of the supposed
negotiations is still uncertain. The CORE
spOndent, however, thinks there can be no
doubt that the expressions of certain Russian
| newspapers about the occupation of Bosnia and
Herzegovina have contributed in high degree
to bringing about q consolidation of the inter-
ests of the whole group of German-speaking
people which it believes to be proceeding in
Vienna. The monstrous plans of the .Pan-Sla-
VANS can only be met by firm and unmistak-
able attitude of watchfulness which ia by no
means to be Understood as an unfriend1y one
towards Russia herself. Prince Bismarck, in
deed, by showing while waiting for change in
the direction of Russian foreign affairs, which
is already spoken of and looked for, that he is
prepared for war; has taken most effectual
means to secure peace.
