EUROPEAN POLITICS.

Comments of the Vienna Press On
Emperor williams Speech-His Wis.,
it To Turkey.
VIENNA, Oct. 23.-The papers of this city
applauded Emperor Williams speech open
ing the Reichstag and declare that 1t furnish
es evidence of the peaceful tendency of Ger
many and all her allies. The Fremdenblatt
says that the additional German ornaments,
caused by the military preparations of her
neighbors, guarantee the peace Of the world
afresh. The united strength of the allies
constitutes the strongest bulwark of peace,
that which has been made more secure by
the recent personsl meetings between En-
peror William and the other rulers.
PARIS, Got. 23.-The Journal des Debats,
commenting on the visit of Emperor Will
liam to Turkey and it's effect upon tho Euro
pean situation, recalls the declaration made
by Prince Bismarck thatithe eastern. question
was not worth the bones of single Pom
meranian grenadier, and also the fact that
Emperor William, during the banquet to the
Gear on his late visit to Berlin, toasted the
Russian army which captured Plcvna. Tho
Journal points out that, under these circum-
stances, 1t would be impossible for the Sui
tan to join the Triple alliance. 1t also says
that Turkey has an army that enables her to
dispense with allies. Nothing menaees Tur-
key whose security is best assured by her in
dependence. French interests in the East
are bound up with the interests of Turkey,
and consequently there is no more decided
partisan of the integrity Of Turkey than
France.

THE NEW SQUADRON.

The Chicago, HOston, Atlanta and
Yorktown WILL SAIL for Europe
About November loan Argum ont In
Favor OF Sending the Fleet to South
America.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 23.-There has been
some agitation for day or two past of Q
proposition to send the new ships, forming
the squadron under command of Acting Rear
Admiral Walker, to South America instead
of Europe. The argument in favor of this
scheme is that the visit of the ships to Gem
trail and South American ports will ma
teriallyss aid in securing the results
hoped forfrom the meeting of the Interna.
tional American congress by making good
impression upon the people of those countries
while no substantial benefits will be reaped
from the trip to Europe. It is not probable
that any change in the programme so far as
1t has been announced will be made, but
there will be an addition that may satisfy
the advocates of the South American voy-
age. The Chicago, Boston, Atlanta and York
town will sail for Europe about Nov. 10, and,
after trip through the Mediterranean Sea
and visiting all the European capitals which
can be reached by water, will return to the
onAVcO Obhtes III tue spring ana tnen make u
trip in South American and Central Amsri-
can waters. This has not been officially an
neuneed, but the statement is made upon
excellent authority. When the squadron
shall visit our American neighbors in the
south it will be increased by the presence of
the Baltimore, Petrol and Vesuvius, which
will then be in condition to sail.
As confirmation of the truth Of this story
1t may be stated that the men on the Chicago
are enlisted for six months only, so that she
will be compelled to return or re.enlist her
crew abroad.

MURDER In BOSTON.

A DISPUTE over q Dollar Results I'm a
Crime-The Murderer Makes His rs
cape.
BosroN, Oct. 23.-About o'clock this af-
terneon Roderick McKennon, aged % years,
got into controversy with an unknown man
in Bendalls Lane, which runs from North
Market street into North street, the dispute
being. it is said, over small sum of money.
McKennon struck at the unknown man, when
the latter drew a pen-knife and stabbed No
Kennon in the neck, cutting the jugular
vein. The assailant then made his escape.
McKennon was at once taken to the police
station, where he died soon after his arrival.
The men had been together short time be-
fore the murder in ono Of the pool rooms of
the neighborhood, and the sum in dispute is
said to have been 81, which had been wager
ed on horse race. The affair seems to have
attracted but little attention, although the
thoroughfare was crowded % that time, and
this fact enabled the murderer to make his
escape. The police have as yet been unable
to obtain any satisfactory description Of the
murderer, but Is the probabilities are that
he has been frequenter of the pool rooms
1t is likely that some important information
will soon be obtained that will lead to his
arrest. All that is at present known Is that
he was q man Of small stature, light com.
plexion and wore light overcoat. McKen-
non was until that day employed as waiter
at the Parker House, and it was understood
that he had been employed in the same
capacity in the Preble House and one other
hotel in Portland, Me.

and Smith decamped. This occurred about
