tiations for Russo French alliance The day
after the treaty was signed. Prince Bismarck

holding only the exact terms of the treaty. Tho

the step was anxiously discussed by Prince BIS

Judging by all that is known of his character
and the ministerial influences now dominating
him, the Gear will not yield. Count Schouva-

St. Petersburg, attending the annual court. He
will return Berlin tomorrow, and will see
Prince Bismarck before the meeting of the
