LONDON, October 2f.--ln British
politics matters have become ex.
ircmcly dull. Both parties seem tc
have become wearied of the tame
public utterances of tho minor lead.
ers aud to have fallen into a state OF
indiferences. This may continue for
a fortnight. Prime Minister Salisbury
will make political address at the
Mansion House banquet in the second
week of November, and Mr.. Glad
stone will Immediately follow him
with two or three campaign speeches
in Scotland. These orators will re-
vive the tagged campaign which, It's
thought, will thereafter be very lively
and exciting.
Matters abroad have, however, be.
come exceedingly interesting. The
situation In the Balkan states is crit
ical and is engrossing the attention OF
all European statesmen. The major
ity Of them fear that unless speedy
settlement of the imbroglio raised by
Prince Alexander BIO effected, the
great powers will BIO drawn into a
dangerous clasp by their conflicting
interests.
The dispstches to-day from Vienna
and Coustantinople are significant and
somewhat contradictory. From tho
Austrian capitol comes the statement
hat all doubts as to the action of the
signatory powers to the treaty of
Berlin respecting the Roumelian dill
ficnlty, have heen removed by the
speech of Emperor Francis Joseph,
to-day, at the meeting of the dclcga-
lions. This body is parliament COM
posed of 40 members, onc-half of
whom are chosen by Austria and the
other half by Hungary. The juris-
diction of the delegation is limited
TO foreign affairs aud war.
The emperor, in addressing the
delegations, said: "Tbe foreign rela-
lions of Austria are of the most
friendly nature. The recent meeting
of the emperors at Kremsier clearly
indicated, to an unprejudiced MUD,
that the active and trustful relations
of Russia, Germany and Austria shall
continue, which is n very important
fact, at this jnncture, for the peace OF
Europe. The powers who Join us
will maintain the legal status OF the
Balkan states guaranteed by the trea-
ties of Berlin aud Sau Stefano rs II
basis Tor securing peace in future.
The unanimity OF the powers OH this
point is an important guarantee of
the success of peaceful solution of
the Roumelian question, The
signers of the treaty of Berlin
seek to restore the statu
quo which was so unexpectedly vio-
lated by the Roumelian rising, en-
dangeriug the peace aud welfare OF
the people of the whole Balkan PENN
sula. Europe evidenced her respect
for the treaties of San Stefano aud
Berlin by the confidence whcrewith
she gave the Balkan states indepen-
dent political existence. Austria's
first care is to maintain peace among
the nations of the east and protect the
interests of her monarchy. Bosnia
aud Herzegovina make progress In an
industrial aud economic sense, anu
are able to pay their own adminisira-
ton"
If the emperor's speech means any
thing, it means that Germany, Aus
tria aud Russia are united in de.
termination to secure the deposition
of Prince Alexander and complete
restoration of that state of affairs
which existed in the Balkan states
before the exaltation of the prince.
Dispatches received this evening
from Constantinople indicate thai
England will take decided stand
against the position stated for Ger
