BERLIN. Oct. 26.-The proposed confer
ance between Prince Bismarck and Count
Kalnoky and Premier CrIspi, has been de-
layed until after Emperor Williams visit
to the sultan of Turkey The practical
Importance of the event is not now denied.
1t is admitted in the official circles that
hopes are entertained that the emperor
interviews with the sultan will result in
the adhesion of Turkey to the general aims
of the triple alliance without her formal
entering the league. Bismarck's project
is to construct a second defensive
line behind the dreibund, consist
ing of England and Turkey, not
committed by treaty to the special pur-
pose of the Central European
alliance, but linked by kindred interests.
Hence he is maneuvering to commit Lord
Salisbury to Il new treaty with Turkey re-
lating to the permanent occupation In
Egypt.
BISMARCK AND THE CAR.
Bismarck's projects in regard to Bal
kan settlement as communicated to the
cZar. have led o a temporary cessation of
hostile Russian intrigue. The car has
certainly consented TO permit the chancel-
lor TO try and realize some modus widen
di, holding himself free for independent
action in the event of the scheme failing.
1t is the impression in the foreign office
that the chancellor will not fail, and that
the negotiations will lead to another Ber-
lin conference in the spring TO revise the
treaty on a basis that Will better secure
European peace

Hum bert's present sent through the Prince

PRESSURE OF THE TARIFF.
Though there is abundant proof of the
terrible pressure on the poor by the exist
ing tariffs it is improbable that the reich-
stag will grant relief, though it is certain
that the food question will be prominent
factor in the coming election, a section
OF the national liberals support the pro-
gressist demands for the abolition or the
pork duties.
FREyrAG'S BOOK THE TALK,
Freytag's book has created sensation.
Prince Bismarck before its publication ad-
vlsed the suppression of certain passages
referring to the negotiations over the for
nation of the empire. Herr Freytag de-
clined to suppress the passages. The
chancellorsdd not insist. The compliance
of Bismarck is attributed to Freytags dis
closures of the unwise interference OF the
then empress, who, the book de
clares, guided when it was natural
she ought TO be guided, thus causing-diffi-
culties and conflicts. Another passage
hateful to Bismarck describes the late
Emperor Frederick as afflicted with morbid
moods and old in mind and body long be-
fore his fatal disease attacked him. His
vial energy, the book declares was no
l. q. I.,., no N.allsn
crown. The persuasions of the crown
princess were unable to Danish his sadness.
She often thought 10 abdicate in favor of
his son.

Wissmun's expedition has been wrecked
