BERLIN, Feb. 4.-[Special to the Salt
Lake Tribme-Copyright, 1883, by the New
York Associated Press.l-While the semi
official press affects to regard the republics
ton Of the Austria German treaty IS having
q pacific intent, oflcial and diplomatic circles
know that its real sim is to force the Gar to
immediate wat or compel him tosnhmit= to
the terms for perm peace dictated by
the allies. The substance Of the treaty has
long been been known to both the Russian
and French governments. At the time Of
its inception at . conference between Prince
Bismarck and Count Andrassy at Gastein, In
August, 1879, confidential disclosures stating
the character of the compact were made by
Brince Bismarck to the Gar as an induce.
ment to break off the negotiations for a
Russo French alliance. The day after the
treaty was signed, Prince Bismarck made a
/ personal communication of tie fact to both
| French and Russian ambassadors, with
| holding only the exact Terms Of the treaty.
| The publication reveals nothing to any
| European government. Before disclosing j:
to the people, the step was aaxiously and
| repeatedly discussed by Prime Bism arck,
Count Kalnoky and Herr Won Tisza. The
Austrian Ministerial Council, he Emperor
presiding, all consented to the publication
of the treaty only last week, upon urgent
| representations from Prince Bismarck that
the time was orportune. It's appearance at
| the present juncture recalls the utterance OF
the Reichstag for refusing to submit to that
body certain diplomatic correspondence.
"Once a Government determines to pub
lish important business, " be said, "ma!tels
war is likely to be the outcome of the situa-
ton" By the light Of this memorable
statement, the significance of the publica-
ton Of the treaty at the present crisis will
ultimatum. If Russia continues to arm and
push forward masses of troops menacing
strategic points on the frontiers, and if pend.
ing Legotiations for an offensive and defen-
! sive alliance With France should succeed,
the central powers will not sait the con-
yenience of the French and Russian govern
ments to declare war. The crisis, therefore,
nears a climax. $780,
Prince Bismarck, III his speech in the
Reichstag on Monday, may place q peaceful
interpret alton upon the lines Of the publica.
ton Of the treaty, but nothing he can say is
expected to lessen the strain Of til situation,
The Gear must give a practical assurance OF
| peace or a bid for early war, and, judging by
| all that is known of bis character and the
ministerial Influence now dominating him!
the Car will not yield. Coun Schouvslotf
Russian Ambassador to Germany, is in st
| Petersburg attending the annual Court. BIZ
will return to Berlin tomorrow, and will
| see Prince Bismarck before the meeting Of
the Reichstag Monday. The debate on The
military bill will be brief, unless Pregres
sionists and Socialists insist upon talking
All the great parties Fave agreed to mari
their sense Of solution by iisposing of tht
measure without delay. The report O.
Prince Bismarck's conference with the lead
ers of the Government groups was not accu
rate, but the Chancellor has seen then
separately during the week and given then
convincing information of the necessity tina
a P%arliamental check will be placed upol
the passage of the measure.
