DE eIER's MISSION.
The Austrian newspapers are busiy dis.
cussing the Significance of the visit OF De
Qier, Russian foreign minister, to Vienna.
| They are mostly inclined 10 attribute to it
! considerable importance. They point TO the
length of his interviews with Count Knl-
| noky, the Hungarian foreign minis.
| ter; Prince Henry of Rouiss, the German
ambassador TO Vienna; the archdukes, the
Emperor and others, and to the circu instance
| that at about the same time Grand Duke
| Nicholas had az interview with Bismarck at
Berlin. A majority Of the special dis.
patches frsm the Continent to the London
newspapers state the prevailing opinion is
that Whatever was conceded by Count Kali
| noky 10 De Gier was conceded with the iull
concurrence and approval of Germany. The
Neue Freie Presse, of Vienna, says that the
preparation for De Gier's visit to Vienna
for the settlement of various questions was
negotiated through the Austrian ambassador
at st. Petersburg. According 10 this account
it was agreed that Servia and Montenegro
should, for the present, be satisfied.
Russia will support Austria at the
London conference on the Danrbisn
question, and st Consi anljnople con-
corning the question of the junction of
Austrian and Turkish railways. In return
Austria will make no objection 10 the
eventual junction OF Bulgaria and EIstern
Roumelia. The same paper hears that
De Gier, in his interview with Bismarck at
Varsip, touched upon the entry of Russia
into the Austro- German alliance, but met
with refusal. While De Gier was in
Vienna he had an interview with priest OF
the Russian churches there, who passes for
one oil the best informed men regarding the
PanSlav agitation, and ia supposed to have
heard his views and not neglected to give
him his official views on the agitation, with
view of correcting auy illusions that the
Pan.Slavs may have cherished. Not stu.
gle journal succeeded in Interviewing De
Gier while he was in Vienna. Two days
before his arrival a messenger from st. Pc
tersburg brought detailed instructions to De
Gier. The Standard sums up the effect of
De Gier's visit to Vienna, the most import
taut point OF which Is that the Porte il
granted respite.
