WARSAW, Oct. 8.--Active preparations are
being made here for the coming interview be-
tween the Emperor of Austria and the Gar.
A great sensation has been caused in Hungary
by the news of the projected interview. The
secret has oozed out that the meeting of the
Emperors is connected with the violent sup
preston of the Eastern question by the arbitra-
Ty annexation of European Turkey to Austria
and Russia, with a promise OF neutrality to
Germany in the event of war next spring with
France. Constantinople is to become a free
town. Russia is renewing the policy of
Catharine with Joseph III and Frederick the
Great. Hungary, whose sympathy with
Turkey is very great, is strongly against such
a policy, but the Dantzic interview leaves the
Austrian monarch no option in the matter.
Fears are entertained that if Francis Joseph
goes to Warsaw there MAJ be manifestation
in his favor to spite the Gear, who does not
treat his Polish subjects as the Austrian Poles
in Galicia are treated.
Mr.. Gladstone Illustrates the Benefits of
Free Trade.
LONDON, Oct. 8.-Mr. Gladstone, replying to
an address from the Leeds Chamber of Com
merce to-day, said: In regard to free trade
there had been lately reaction to a certain ex-
tent, but he was convinced that they might as
we'll attempt to overthrow Trial by jury as to
restore protective duties. No government that
is possible in England would pledge itself to
such a course. The government was determin-
France should not be of retrograde character.
AS an illustration of the benefits of free trade,
Mr.. Gladstone pointed out that the American
export of manufactured goods to Asia, Africa
and Australia amounted to ga, 100000, while
the English exports to these countries amount
ed to G77000000. [Cheers] The trade Of
France and America together did not equal
the English, although both enjoyed protection
England beat them in all neutral markets
So long as America adheres to protection, our
.,-o IL mill In a
need not disturb ourselves the slightest on that
score. Compared with America and Germany,
we have now, man for man, thrice the amount
of trade they have.
A later dispatch says fuller report of Mr..
Gladstone's speeches shows that in describing
the injurious effects of protection he instanced
a decline of American shipping as signal ex-
ample thereof, ana said it is not because
Americans have less ingenuity and perseve-
rance than yourselves. They are your
descendants and kinsmen, and are fully equal
TO you in all that human energy can supply.
The genuine effects of protection have been
mitigated in the case of Americans by their
own energies and by the enormous field open
to them-a field which you would not find
were you unhappily disposed to follow their
example.
