BERLIN, Oct. 26-The proposed confer
ence between Bismarck, Consul KalnolSy
and Premier Crispi has been delayed until
after Emperor Williams visit to Turkey.
The political Importance of the event is
not now denied. Bismarck's project is to
construct a second defensive line
behind the drebuud, consisting of
England and Turkey, not committed
by treaty to the special purposes of
the central European alliance, but linked by
kindred interests Hence he is maneuverng
to commit Lord Salisbury to new treaty
with Turkey relating to the permanent occu-
patton of Egypt
Bismarck's project in regard to the Balkan
settlement, as communicated to the car, has
led to the temporary cessation of hostile
Russian intrigues. The car has certainly
consented to permit the chancellor to try to
realize some modus vivendi, holding himself
free to resume Independent action in the
event of the scheme failing.
News of the arrival of the i'm
perial party aboard the Hohenzollern
in the Pirause was telegraphed here this af-
ternoon. The kilograms state that heavy
weather was encountered and the empress
was prostrated with seasickness. The king
and queen of Greece and the crown prince
received the imperial party at the entrance
to the harbor. After landing, the party
took the train for Athens, and on arrival
there drove to the palace IN state carriages.
The route was lined with troops and an i'm.
mense throng gave an ovation to the i'm
perial party
Princess Sophie's already marvellous
jewel dover has been enhanced by her
mother adding diamond and ruby
cross, an heirloom in the English royal
family which was first worn by Princess
Charlotte, of Wales.
Queen Victoria's presents do not figure
prominently. The consist of the usual
Indian shawls, whereof she seems to have
ready store, narrow diamond necklace ana
a number of books.
In contrast IS King Humbert's present,
sent through the prince of Naples. 1t con-
sists Of diamonds valued at 3OO 900 marks

turn to Berlin will he on Thurs

The reichstag debate will demand his pres

Count. Herbert, before starting, went to
Friedrichsruhe. accompanied by the Turkish
minister, Kiamil Pasha, who waited on
memoranda to prepare the sultan to talk
with the German emperor. Bismarck gave
Klamil n long conference, but refused him
written memoranda. He also advised Kiaml
that the interviews between the sultan and
Emperor William must not proceed through
an interpreter unless he be member of
the Sultan's council.
The alteration of the socialist law ls not
approved by any section of the reichstag ex-

and centralists disfavor the permanent dura-
tion of the law as depriving the house of its
present controlling power to amend the law
every two years. In order TO sweeten the
proposal the government modifies some of
its strictest provisions. Thus, newspaper
now suppressed for one offensive article
will be stopped after two offences. The
power of the police to cancel
the licenses OF taverns frequented
by socialists IS abolished. Further, meet

chance of its acceptance.
The progressists also moved an
amendment to the electoral law
aiming to render difficult
electoral frauds and unjust pressure upon
electors. This will not be adopted.
The conservatives and national liberals
profess to be indignant at the bare suspicion
that electoral frauds are possible.
The National Zetunp referrinp IN the de-.
mand of progressists that voting tickets be
delivered in closed envelopes, advises the
majority TO refuse to even discuss and SINH
lar motions.
The socialists in the reichstag have moved
for the abolition of the duties on all pro-
visions.
Though there Is abundant proof of terrible
pressure on the poor, caused by the existing
tariffs, it Is improbable that the reichstag
will grant relief, though it is certain the
food question will be prominent factor in
the coming election. A section of the ma.
tional libei ais will support the progressists'
demands tor the abolition of the pork
duties.
F'reytag's book on the late Emperor
Frederick has created sensation. Prior to
its publication Bismarck advised, but did
insist upon the suppression Of certain pass
ages. His complaisance is attributed to
Freytag's disclosures of the unwise interfer-
ence of the empress. Another passage
grateful to Bismarck describes Frederick as
afflicted with morbid moods ana old in mind
and body long before the fatal disease at
tackled him. His vital energy, the book
declares, was no longer beftting the heir to
the imperial crown. He often thought to
abdicate IN favor Of his son.
