BERLIN, Oct. 12.-Prince Bismarck will
have another conference with the Gear to-
morrow or Monday morning. Yesterdays
conference was chiefly occupied by Prince
Bismarck in reading to the Car memo
randa on aims of the European alliance of
peace. The exact terms of the memoranda
have not been divulged, but semi-official
hints percolating through the Foreign
Off ce suggest that the Chancellor tried to
convince the Czar that the alliance was
non aggressive and directed to-
ward the realization of the OBJ
jects of the Berlin treaty; that
Germany was specially interested in
the preservation OF peace, and as final and
impressive stroke, that all the great powers,
excepting France, were united to prevent
or shorten European conflict. The Cars
subsequent friendly and amiable demeanor
toward Prince Bismarck proves that he
took the Chancellor's exposition with good
natured courtesy. Yet. If a semi-offcial
note in the inspired Hamburg Correspond
ence be true, Prince Bismarck must have
iInplIedly menaced the Car with argu-
ments based upon the implicit engage
ments of England and Turkey to sup
port the triple alliance. The presence of
an English squadron at kiel was meant to
impress upon the Gar the fact OF English
cooperation. just as Emperor Williams
visit to COnstantinople marks the absOrp-
ton of Turkey into the peace league.
Prince Bismarck is represented as advising
the Gar that in view of this coalition,
what Russia had best do is to accept a pol

nand as ruler of Bulgaria. and aid the other
great powers in effecting permanent peace

Thursday, Prince Bismarck received the
Austrian ambassador. Articles published
in the official Abendhorst and Fremdenblatt
on the following day express confidence
that nothing will be done in Berlin to
weaken mutual ties. The Fremdenblatt
hopes that the meeting will have weighty
consequences, remove the misnnderstand-
ing about the objects of the allied powers,
and induce the Gar to assist in giving Eu-
rope a. sense OF permanent security. The
official press here remains silent on the
probable results until the Cars depart

The newspapers continue to comment on
the coldness of the Cars reception, and al
most unanimously take the ground that
