European Interference i'm Egyyt.
PARIS. oct 29-The 7ptegruphP tnsWSpaparl
SayS:-'.The mission at Vienna of MesSlS Barring
and Del5ligntereS, the recently appointed comp
trollers OF Egyptian finances. has failed. The
failure may seriously compromise the action OF
France and England in Egypt Thus the first
result of the recent AuStro-t3ermnn alliance Is
opposition to the settlement OF Egyptian affairs.
The resistance OF Turkey to a reasonable ar
rangement of the Greek question is attributable
to the same cause" The object of the mission
of Messrs Barring and DeBlinnieres at Vienna
was to induce Austria to accept the commission
OF control in Egypt. Austria insists that the
commissions operations must be Subordlnated to
the prior claims of creditors who hold mortgages
on the estates surrendered by the KhediveS
family TO guarantee the recent RothSchd loan.
As the Rothschild loan was negotiated with the
aid OF the French and English governments.
Austria's opposition on this point really affects
the whole question OF European interference in
Egypt.
LONDON, Oct, 29.-The Berlin correspondent Of
the Times explains that the absence of any ref
erence to European politics In the speech OF the

Diet yesterday was due to the fact that foreign
affairs are the exclusive concern of the empire,
and their mention would be out of place in
speech from the Prussian throne; and that the
reason no reference was made to certain vexed
questions of school and church policy would
seem to lie in the circumstance that no legiSla-
tive step in these regions is at present contem-
plated
