Italy, wherein Germany and Austria would
join according to their present compact.
The tone Of Signor Crispi toward journals
tic interviews since the conference with
Prince Bismarck suggests that this govern
league of peace and means to catch France
isolated. The leage for war, Crispi says in
his interview, hes SO far succeeded.
Emperor William will not visit the vati-
can unless the vatican authorities arrange
that there shall be no semblance in the cere-
mony of superiority. The vatican in the
meantime declines 70 make an exception of
tht new German emperor.
The Cologne Gazette says the attitude OF
the pope represents an absolute abandon
ment of the papscy. No European power
now cares to support its prstention5 to be
the spiritual guide OF the people.
Despite the attitude of the vatican, En-
peror William personally desires to see the
pope. Arrangements have been made at
the vatican to receive the emperor with the
usual ce' emonies. The pope refuses any
back stairs conference. Emperor William
bfter breakfasting at the Cafferele palace
will proceed to the vatican. This is a stipu
Iation which comes direct from the German
embassy and not from the quirinal. After
the reception of the pope, the emperor will
drive back to the ouirinal In King Hum
bert's royal carriage, The ceremonial has
been acceded 70 be Emperor William as the
head of the German people, which Is made
up OF mixed protestants and Catholics. With

marck has had trouble in persuading EN-
peror William to submit to the papal cere-
monial
The attention of Berlin centers upon the
electoral contest in the SiXth district. The
national liberals, the progr sssivisbs and the
socialists are watching the Struggle as an in
dication Of the tendency Of natfeSal opinion.

the Swiss frontier, reporting the proceed
tngs OF Liebkneht, leading soci@list, who is
stumping the populous cehters of the Rhine,
and making speeches which he would not be
allowed 10 make in Berlin. The election is
fixed for Thursday next. Despite the repres-
slve measure of the police including the
suppression of public meeting and the whole
saIe arrest OF socialistic canvassers Lieb-
kneht will get in. Three candidates now
oppose him. Herr Koerlle, who is already
deputy in the laudtag is Democrat; Herr
Holtze, who Is also in the lardrag, is con-
servative, and DIR. Forester is an anti isemst,c
member. The progressists will vote for him.
The Berlin newspapers are silent on the
subject of the arrests which ere made daily.
The particular prison In which the arrested
parties are confined is crowded with men
aud women, charged with the propagation
of socialiStic doctrines and the utteg ance of
seditious cries. The socialists, as q body,
however, are not intimidated. On the con
trary they continue to circulate what ep-
pears to be a popular fly sheet. This sheet
ends with the words recently uttered by
Liebknecht: 'If the workers wish to ob ain
their rights let them unite so as to be able to
conquer. Without might there is no right
Courage, socialists, forward"
Herr Richter's latest Grafton before the re-
nnion Of progressionists in the friedrich
ttrasse showed no disposition to coalese with
any section, conservative or socialist. It ad- |
vocates gradual reforms and denounced
Prince Bismarck as willing ally of the So
cialists, if associated with the autocracy.
The speaker declared that the progressists !
must oppose anti-semetism as disgrace to |
the German nation and recalled the words of |
Emperor Frederick, Liberty, equal for all |
citi8ans." The Grafton produced an i'm |
mense momentary effect and is being circu- |
lated throughout Germany.
The National Zietupg tonight asserts that |
ihe result OF the friedeschsrue meeting viii !
be a fresh note from Signor Crispi on the |
t1assowah question. The communication of 1
she National hietung purports to be semi |
bffcial, and has serious import as stating |
ihac the time has come when Italy must |
mark out precisely the limits of her foreign |
policy. II the Italian government finds it |
necessary to war with France, Germany
must support her ally. This concurrent |
md semi-otfirisl language of the press is
giving rise TO fears that Bismarck is using

After rejecting upon the first overtures
