HE battle won. The Austrian imperial
family maintain neutral position IN
the matter. They dislike Alexander,
but would like to see the MARI .sge
effected, ii it would tend to widen the
breach between Germany and Russia.
The Gar, in the meantime, has
shown no disposition to respond
TO Empress Vlctoria's overtures,
nor is he uIKeiy to encourage them. The
opinions of the Russian court were for q

Their plan was to induce the Gear to
intimate to Emperor Frederick that he
would regard the marriage as private
affair, and thus help the Empress to
GUST Bismarck. The view of De Giers
was that toe present crisis was an Incl
dent in the general policy OF Prince
Bismarck TO assert himself against
the Empress. He was of the opinion
that Bism9rck's fall would lead
to a close Anglo-Austrian alli
ance, which woulI prove an lmme-
date series of dangers to Russia.
Another of De Giers' arguments was
that, owing to the bad health OF En-
perOr frederick, the retirement of Bis
marck would be brief and would be fol-
lowed by his return TO Office with
feeling of hostility to every influence
that mad been used to overthrow him.

the opening of the ball. Prince Alex

Much irritation is felt in consequence
