BERLIN, August 25.-The meeting between
Count Kalnoky, the Austrian foreign min
lister, and Signor Crispi, the Italian prime
minister, at Eyer, does away with the
necessity of a conference between the three
statesmen at Friedrchsruhe. Count
Kalnoky and Signor Crispi dned
together, and after dinner both
granted interviews to representatives
of the press. They stated that there would
be no change in the positions of the govern-
ments, and that the alliance would be main
tanned Signor Crispi says, regarding the
seizure of Massowah by Italy, that he does
not believe that France will eventually deny
the right of Italy to occupy that place. Con-
corning Tripoli, he says that the Italian
government relies upon the belief
that the common sense of the French people
will prevent their attempting any aggression
beyond Tuns. A single rood of ground taken
from Tripoli would be declaration of war
against Italy, wherein Germany and Austria
would join according to the present contract.

The attention of Berlin centers upon the
electoral contest in the Fifth district. The
national liberals, ,progressionists and socialists
are watching the struggle as an indication Of
the tendency Of national opinion. Her1
Herrfurth, minister Of the interior, has re.
ceived circulars from the authorities on tho
Swiss frontier, reporting the proceedings Of
Liebknecht, leading socialist who is
stumpng the populous centers of the Rhine,
making speeches which he would not be al
lowed to make in Berlin. The election is
fixed for Thursday next. Despite the re-
pressive measures of the police, in-
cludng the suppression of public
meetings and the wholesale arrest
of socialistic canvassers, Lebknecht
will get in.
A communication to the National Zeitung
purports to be semi-official and has serious
import as stating that the time has come
when Italy must mark out precisely the
limits Of her foreign policy. If the Italian
government finds it necessary to attacks
France, Germany must support her ally.
This concurrent and semioficial language Of
the press is giving rise to fears that Bis.

war. The elections are proceeding to-day
