The Russian Foreign Minister'S Visit
to Nienna-SpeculatiOns and Con-
cIusiOns.
LONDON, Jan. 29.-The Austrian news.
papers are busily discussing the signif.
canoe of the visit of NJ. De Giers, the Rus.
sian Foreign Minister, to Vienna. They
are mostly inclined to attribute to it con.
siderable Importance. They point to the
length of his interviews with Count
Kalnoky, the Austro-Hungarian Foreign
Minister, Prince Henry the Seventh OF
Reuss, German Ambassador to Vienna,
the Arch Dukes, the Emperor and
others, and to the circumstance that
at about the same time the Grand
Duke Nicholas had an interview with
Frlnce Bismarck at Berlin. The majority
OF the special dispatches from the Conti-
nent to London newspapers state that the
prevailing opinion is that whatever was
conceded by Count Kalnoky to NJ. De
Glers was conceded with the full concur
renee and approval of Germany.
The Neue FFeie PreSSe, of Vienna. saws
''In the preparation for NJ. DeGiers' visit
to Vienna the settlement of various ques-
tions was negotiated through the Aus
trian Ambassador at st. Petersburg. Ac-
cord!ng TO this account it was agreed that
SerYla and Montenegro should for the pres
ent be satisfied. Russia will support
Austria at the London conference on
the Danubian question and at Con-
stantinople concerning the question
of the junction of the Austrian and Turk
lsh railways. In return Austria will
make no objection to the eventual junction
of Bulgaria and Eastern RoumeIia." The
same paper hears that NJ. De Giers in his
interview with PRINCE Bismarck at
NarZm touched upon the entry
OF Russia into the AustrO-German
alliance, but met with a refusal. While
M. De Giers was at Vienna he had an in
terview with the priest of the Russian
church there, who passes for one of the
best informed men regarding the Panslav
agitation, and is supposed to have heard
his views, and not neglected to give
him his official views on the agitation,
with the view of correcting any illusions
that Panslavists may cherish. Not single
journalist succeeded in interviewing NJ.
DeGlers While he was in Vienna. Two
days before his arrival an imperial mes
senger from st. Petersburg brought de-
tailed instructions to NJ. DeGiers.' The
standard sums up the effect of the visit of
Nj. DeGiers to Vienna, the most important
point of which is that the Porte is granted
a respite.
The Berlin correspondent of the Daily
NelCS says: "The Gar is making efforts
to bring about the former friendly rela-
tl0ns between Russia and GERMANY"
The Berlin correspondent of the lNOrninG
Post says: '"The visit of Mr.. De Giers to
Vienna has resulted in a complete under
standing between Russia and Austria on
leading political questions, and also in
the arrangement of the differences regard
ing the navigation of the Danube"
A dispatch from Pesth to the Standard
says: 'The unusually long stay of the
imperial family in Hungary, the repeated
visits of the Crown Prince there, and the
constant use of the Magyar language by
the imperial family during their sOiourn
in Hungary have been silently effecting a
fdpprOchenlent between the court and the
MagyarS, and tend to confirm the suspic-
ion that the government cOntemplates the
eventual extension of the frontiers of the
empire in the southeast, for the realiZa-
ton OF which project Hungary will be the
base of operations"
According to dispatches from Berlin all
the evening papers there question the
accuracy of the statement in the Vienna
Neae Frete PreSSe. Conservative Journals
adhere to the belief that the visit of NJ.
De Giers to Vienna has consolidated the
relations between Austria and Russia.
The VOSSiche Zeitunq is of the opinion
that neither Germany nor Great Britain
approves of the junction of Bulgaria and
Roumelia, as it would strengthen Russia,
whereas the latter's weakness is regarded
as the best guarantee of peace.
