KALNoKY's REPLY TO BISMARCK.
VIENNA, March 14.-Folowing is the full
report of the reply of Count Kalnoky to
Prince Bismarck's letter referring to the
sympathy of the Austrans for Germany:
''It is highly important for both EN-
perors, in truth supreme consolation for the
future, that the union of the empires, re-
sulting from the close friendship and wis
dom of rulers solicitous for the welfare of
theu- people, has, in a few years, taken
such deep root among the common
people that to-day the sorrow of the
Germans finds so sincere an echo
throughout our monarchy. Firm and
united as the two dynasties will be the two
peoples stand by one another, sharing
the conviction that the ties of friendship in
terwoven by such wise hands for the sake of
peace, will resist every test now and in the
future. Austria, am fully confident, rec
ognizes in Frederick an august and worthy
successorsto the great departed monarch,
and equally friend of AuStria's monarch
and people"
Emperor Frederick will depart for Wies-
baden after the funeral.
RUSSIA PROCESSES FRIENDSHIP.
ST. ETERsBURG, March l4-The official
Messenger says: "The Czarowitch's Journey
TO Berlin to represent his father at the
funeral of Emperor William shows the close
ties of friendship and confidence that have
long united the two imperial houses, to
which Emperor William remained faithful
to the last, and which will remain equally
strong under Emperor Frederick. These
ties, as they have been in the past, will be
pledge of the durability Of the friendly rela-
tions between Ru sia and Germany so
necessary for their mutual welfare and for
the prevention of international complica-
tions"
