BERLIN, Aug 1.-The quarrel between
the various political parties, settlement of
which was indicated in last weeks dis
patches, has led the North German Gazetts
and other government organs to make a
clear statement of the exact relations which
the government desires to see established
between itself and the peoples representa-
tives According to this statement the gov
ernment will refuse to rely upon majority
consisting of conservatives and Catholics,
which would be dependent on
the good pleasure of Herr Windthorst and
will urge the conservatives and nationals
liberals to work in harmony and oppose
their common enemies, the clericals, Poles.
Guelphs and radical free thinkers.
LORD sALIsBURY's SPEECH.
Tho most discussed event of the week was
Lord Salisbury's speech at the lord mayor'sj
banquet in London. The confident tone Of
the speech was welcomed as confirming the
National Zeitu,q's statement that Princa
Bismarck believed that the meeting be- \
tween Emperor William and the car
would result in long period of peace. The
only portion of Lord Salsbury's
speech that is thought to be open to
criticism Is his reference to Bulgaria. |
Advices received from st. Petersburg to-
day in no way tend to confirm the primel
minister's optimistio remarks.
RussIA's PROGRAMME.
- Il IA + -
authority that Russia adheres to her orig-I
inal programme of ousting PrinceFerdinand, |
excluding Prince Alexander, and sending al
Russian commissioner to restore diplomaticI
relations without interfering with internal
affairs, preliminary to allowing the Bulga-I
rians to elect any prince they think fit, pro-
vided be be legally elected and member of
the orthodox church. As for the rest, the |
st. Petersburg official circles and press are !
unusually gratified at Lord Salisbury's fair
ness in recognizing the disinterested charac-
ter of Russia's policy.
AUSTRIA THE MOST CRITICAL.
Lord Salisbury's speech met with greater
criticism In Vienna than elsewhere, his ap+
parently improved feeling toward Russia !
being unpalatable to the Austrians. The
cabinet at Vienna has no intention to aban-
don Prince Ferdinand, and continues TO fa-
vor settlement to be agreed upon by all
the powers.
The Massowah incident is here considered
definitely closed by M. Goblet's note of pro-
test
The Russian and Austrian governments
are inclined to admit M. Goblet's conten-
tion that the capitulations should only be-
abolished by consent Of the powers, but
their interests in Massowah are so small
that they are Indifferent.
THE VISIT TO ITALY
Herr Won Schloezer, the German
representative at the vatican, who
brought letter from Cardinal Ram
polla, the papal secretary of state, has had
several long interviews with Prince Bis
marck during the week. The result Of !
these conferences has not become known.
though there are rumors that they'
have caused hesitancy in completing
the plans for the kaisers visit to Italy. IL
10 even stated In .,oine quarters that the
kaiser's proposed risit has been abandoned.
but this is untrue. The Italian govern
ment is arranging railway excursions from
all parts of Italy in order toI
bring together large concourseI
of people at the demonstration In honor Of
the royal visitor, and other preparations arel
being made for his entertainments inciud-l
ing public fetes, naval review, etc. 1t is
stated that the kaiser's visit will cover SKI
