A reliable correspondent telegraphs to-
day from st. Petersburg via Vienna
that the massing of Russian troops. Oh a
| large scale on the German and Austrian
frontiers during the past week was
really demonstration to deter King
Milan of Servia from divorcing Queen
Natalie. The divorce of the Servian
king from his Russian wife
will undoubtedly lead to serious
trouble, involving the dethronement of
Milan, in which case his son will be de-
clared king and a regency appointed
during his minority. The latter event
may possibly be accomplished by a
blOodless revolution similar to the one
which caused the abdication of Prince
Alexander, of Bulgaria. The effect of
the divorce in Russia has been to stim-
ulate the hopes of the war party who
are now rapidly gaining the ascend
ancy. Copi0us articles are appearing
in the Russian press regarding the eff
fectiveness of the Austrian and Italian
armies, alleging that both are
DIVIDED AMONG THEMSELVES.
tine former having a majority among
the rank and file who thoroughly hate
the Germans while the Italian troops,
they say, cannot be relied upon to fight
alongside of the Germans as against
French troops. Statistics of the heterO-
geneous population of the Austro-Hun-
garian empire and the condition of its
internal affairs are given showing that
in the event of war with foreign
power and especially with Russia that
the dual empire would soon be the
scene of several rebellions among
would sorely tax her whole army
to subdue. simultaneously with the
progress of the Emperor William
through Germany, come reports of
rapidly growing strength of Boulang-
ism in France. From the Paris CORE
spondent of the London Times, who
has been in the habit of scouting BOu
LANCER, assumes it to be probable that
the general will come back from the
general election with large majority,
composed of BOnapartists, OrleaniStS,
Legitimists and adventures of all
kinds. To Europe at large the danger
of such state of things is infinitely III
creased by the Servian episode, which
has undoubtedly
RUPTURED THE ENTETE CORDIALE
between Germany and Russia as indi-
Gated by the announcement that the
cars proposed visit to Berlin has been
abandoned. Already seml-official Rus

sooner than was recently expected, now
that the eternal Eastern question de-
veiopS a new dangerous energy. The
refusal of the German government to
aid the German Emin Pasha committee
has not dampened the latter'S ardOr,
but has merely caused the postpone
ment of the expedition until better news
comes from the Zanzibar coast, where
the German colony are still experience
ing considerable trouble. Whether
under existing circumstances the East
coast route would not be even
more difficult than the Congo route,
which Stanley selected, is extremely
doubtful. 1t is now admitted that the
object of the German expedition is not
merely to find Emin. 1t is also to do
pioneer work for German cOlOniStS be-
yOnd the coasts and the lakes. But if
this were attempted at the present mo-
ment the expedition would encounter
all the hostility which is being dis
played by the natives towards the Ger
man colonists in the territory conceded
by the sultan of Zanzibar While the
bly, be heard of Emin and Stanley. At
the Office of the English Emin relief
committee the belief prevails that Emin
and Stanley are together. The state
ment is, made that they really expected
very little from the German expedition,
as the want of capacity of the Germans
to succeed where Barttellot failed is
shown by their absurd
QUARREL WITH THE NATIVES
on the coast. Recently returned Ger
man travellers, in speaking of the diff
cultieS of the German East African
they were caused by the officials of the
company, who imagine they can rule
barbarous races by the unbending and
almost brutal methods of PruSaian
policeman. If an English traveller were
to advance this theory, it would be as
cribed to British jealousy.
The frequent kilograms concerning
the health of the king of Holland, are
regarded by those who may be supposed
to know the facts as to some extent
concealing the truth, that his majesty's
condition is most serious. The queen of
Holland and the Dutch ministers in the
event of the demise Of the king. are nat
urally anxious that everything relat-
ing to the proclamation of the young
princess should be we'll arranged. The
late queen had in Charles Villars, the
venerable member for Wolverhampton,
valued friend and constant CORE
spondent. The present queen has prac-
tically no acquaintance with English
society, and is likely to lean to the wish
of many of her friends and family, that
when the Princess Wilhelmina APP
proaches manageable age she may be
betrOthed to German prince. Some
Dutch statesmen are, however, already
casting their eyes toward the younger
branches of the English royal family,
prefcrring that in years to come the
conSort of the queen of Holland should
