VIENNA, Aug. 25.-The meeting at Eyer to-
dry of Signor Crispi with Count Kalnoky, 30
soon after the Friedrichsruhe Conference,

Count Ka.noky expects and will, no doubt,
receive full and free communication of Prince
Bismarck's views and Of the conclusions
reached at the conference.
The coming of Sig. Crispi is welcomed as
an act Of loyalty to the alliance and Of good
faith to Austria.
The conference at Eyer Is watched with the
deepest interest. Much anxiety is felt here,
especially OF the Bourse. over the result. A
happy issue means the union of the Powers,
and that union secures peace for Europe for
an indefinite period.
