TARIFF TINKERING.
An Endeav0r Made to stop the European
Customs War.

LONDON, August 2O.-The Vienna cores
pondent of the Times telegraphs that in
Austrian official circles the opinion is
generally entertained that as the result OF
the meeting at Varzin between Prince Bis
marck and Count Kalnoky, Austrian
Minister for Foreign Affairs, the severe
tariff war between Germany and Austria
has been averted. The meeting, it il
thought, while it did not bring about a
customs union between the two empires Or
even a ton of the German tariff on
cereals, has critically brought about an
understanding between the two powers
that the German tariffs are to be applied
with less rigor towards Austria. In return
for this concession Austria and Hungary
are to modify their pending tariff bills,
which, as at present framed, aim at extreme
retaliation upon Germany.
Pesther Lloyd, the organ of NJ. Tisza,
Hungarian Prime Minister, hints that the
failure to secure a customs union was due
to Prince Bismarck's opposition, but the
general opinion is that at the Varzin meet
ing the way was paved toward an eventual
tariff agreement between the two nations.
