many Would Like to Divide

BERLIN, June 29.-Count Kalnoky's
speech, expressing confidence in the
intentio MS of the Servian regency, has
tended to allay the alarm which the
Emperor Francis Joseph's spies pro-
duced. The cordial references of both
to Bulgaria are regarded as an answer
to the cars toast to the prince of Mon
tenegro. Notes exchanged between
Austria, Germany, Italy and England
Ferdinand, show that. while there is DO
desire to press the matter, no objection
will be offered. Turkeys decision de-
pends upon that of the other powers,
but, apart from Russia's oppo-
sition, the recognition of Ferdinand
can hardly become fait acompli
while Prince Bismarck shows so little
interest in Bulgaria's fate. The Sile-
clan Gazette goes to the length of as
serting that even should war result
from Russian occupation of Bulgaria
and a demand for the evacuation of
Bosnia by Austria, Germany would not
feel obliged to assist Austria in the
struggle, as the convention relative to
the occupation Of Bosnia and Herze-
govina was made without Germany's
consent. The Cologne Gazette, refer
ring to Turkeys rejection of Russia's
Turkish neutrality in case of war,
dwells on the expediency of Turkey
joining the triple alliance, which, it
says, is further check on Rus
sian aggressive scenes. West
Prussian papers report that Rus
sian troops along the German
frontier are being strongly reinforced.
The National Zeitung in an article
headed England and Her Rivals" ably
reflects the feeling here on the failure
of the Egyptian conversion scheme. 1t
argues that since Russia is pushing her
frontier ever eastward in Central Asia,
the
SECURITY OF THE sUEZ CANAL
has become most important for En-
gland, who is less inclined than ever to
evacuate Egypt or share her dominion
there with any other power. Therefore
all the materials are ready at hand for a
Franco-Russian coalition against En-
gland, forcing her to become an infor-
NAL member Of the Central European
Peace league. The North German Ga
Zette continues to make daily attacks on
the Swiss government. Though
the incident is practically ended
with the disavOwal of the WOhIge-
muth article, the Hamburger Mach
richten admitted dealing with
the question from an academic and
theoretic point OF view, but none the
less is attracting much attention. 1t
discusses the partition Of Switzerland
between France, Germany and Italy as
a solution of the question, and says this
would greatly contribute toward the
chances of peace by bringing the Ger
tact with the st. Gothard railway and
cOmpensating France for the loss of
Alsace- Lorraine. The Liberal press
shows no sympathy with the official
attacks on the Swiss government, which
have already injured the business re-
latiOns between German and Swiss
commercial houses. Emperor William
will arrive at Kiel at O'Clock on Mon
day morning, and will witness a regat-
ia. At 5 p. m. he will sail on the
royal yacht Hohenzollern for Norway,
accompanied by the dispatch boat Greif.
According to the present programme
he will return to Friederichskr0n on
July %, and will sail for England on
July 80, returning on Aug. 8. 1t is
semi-Officially denied that he intends to
ems. 1t is reported that the emperor
PERSISTS IN HIS REFUSAL
to approve any one of the five candi-
dates for the bishopric of Munster, pre-
sented by the chapter, Notwithstanding
the fact that they were carefully
chosen with the view of their being ac-
ceptable to the government. The diff
Guilty threatens renewal of the
kulturkampf. The government has
further expressed dissatisfaction at
the lukewarmness of the archbishop of
Pcsen in combating the Polish agita-
tion. The Catholic journals are making
an ardent campaign in behalf of the
anti-slavery congress at Lucerne.
They say that they want the German
delegates to show clearly that the anti
slavery movement nowhere awakens
greater sympathy than in the Father
land. The bundesrath, which has re-
sumed its sittings, Is mainly dealing
with financial matters. Herr Lanigue,
who was elected from Metz, has re-
signed his seat on the ground that he
did not receive sufficient votes to justify
him in holding it. 1t is expected that
the seat will remain vacant till the gen.
eral election.
