BERLIN, Aug 17.-While the Emperors
nave been holding receptions, reviewing
troops and performing the decorative rites
associated with Imperialism, some moment
ous practical work has been done by the
dlplomatic and military chiefs of the al
lance. Prince Bismarck's prolonged con-
ferences with Count Kalnoky and Count
Szecheny embraced questions relating to
Servia and Bulgaria and the threatened
disturbance of amity between Austria and
Italy over the position of the Papacy.
Emperor Francis Joseph's friends hurrah
for the Pope, and his recent personal
pledges to prevent the Italian government
encroaching upon the Vatican, combined
with Signor Crispi's openly expressed re-
sentiment at Austria's interference, ap-
peared to make Prince Bismarck's efforts
toward restoring the entente difficult.
With his usual tact and good luck, the
Chancellor has arranged the quarrel at the
cost of the Vatican. Emperor Francis
Joseph, whose individuality, never strong.
has been evidently weakened by his
Count Kainoky's representations and
abandoned independent support of the
Pope. As soon as. KalonOky secured a
free hand to renew the entente with Italy,
he threw the. weight of Austria's influence
stop the Pope's negotiations looking to his
leaving the Vatican. Count Dubsky, the
Austrian minister to Madrid, was instructed
to advise the Queen regent and the govern
ment against encouraging the Pope to seek
an asyi ium in Spain. The Austrian minis
ter to the Vatican at the same time was Or
dered to recommend the Pope to rely on
the friendly intentions of King Humbert.
Count Dubsky's communications have not
been we'll received in Madrid, but in the
face of Austrla's desertion, the POpe's de-
parture from Rome is impossible. SignOr
Crispi, encouraged from Berlin, has
sent the ; officials fSia a., of the Vatican
ment would not permit papal treasure
or Vatican art objects to leave Rome. 1t
could not prevent the Pope's personal de-
parture, but the contents of the Vatican
counted the cost of his unfriendly diplo-
macy toward the Vatican, balancing the
| increased Centrist hostility against the
weakening of the triple alliance. He pre-
ferred an intensified feuds in the Center
party to the risk of losing italian cooper
alton.
General Beck's interviews with General
Won Waldersee and War Minister Du Yer
nois, resulted in military convention,
which, associated with the Italian cOnyen-
ton, completes the plans for naval and
military combinations in the event of war.
Although no official warrant is given for
the reported absorption of England into the
alliance, the language of the semi official
press justifies the inference that the British
| government has agreed that their naval
and military forces will cooperate with
| those of the alliance IN repressing any wan
ton disturbance of the European peace.

No note of peace was heard in his brief
utterance yesterday at the banquet of the
First Dragon Guards in celebration of the
anniversary of the battle of Mars la Tour;
in which the regiment distinguished itself
by q brilliant charge. After Prince AL

regiment the Emperor, drinking to the
