PLENTY OF CLOUDS.
Notwithstanding the Various Royal
Visits in Europe Permanent
PEACE Is BY NO MEANS ASSURED
The Gar Refuses to Confer With His Two
Brother Emperors.
AUSTRIA WILL CHAMPION THE POPE
And by So Doing May Force Italy to Disrupt the
Triple Alliance.

Triple Alliance.
Signs of trouble continue to be plenty in
Europe. The state of affairs in the Balkan
peninsula is becoming more and more criti-
cal. The Gar is apparently in an ugly
humor, and almost anything is possible.

| BERLIN, August 3.-Prince Bismarck s
maneuvers to bring about meeting of the
three Emperors have been foiled by the
sullen reticence of the Gar, who has not
deigned to acknowledge the communications
of Count Schouskloff informing him that
Emperor Francis Joseph and Emperor
William are favorable to an interview. 1t
was even doubtful until Wednesday last
whether the Gar would adhere to his
journey to Berlin, Schouskloff only then re-
ceiving formal authority to inform the Gov
ernment of the Cars visit.
The language of the semi-oficial papers
of St. Petersburg is studiously designed to
divest the visit of any tendency to a restor-
alton of amity. The Gar is described as too
we'll experienced with Bismarck's inesse to
allow himself to again be duped. With un-
shaken firmness he refused to listen to over
lures unless preceded by recognition of
Russia's claims to freedom of action in the
Balkan peninsula.
| ONLY FoRMALITY.
The ominous outlook on the Servo-Bul-
| garian frontier, where both Governments
are massing troops, the rising in Crete, and
! the concentration of Russian troops around
| Cars discourage the hope that the Cars
journey will be anything but formality,
which he would avoid if possible. The
| Forign Office does not expect him to come
to Berlin. He will go direct from Stettin
to Potsdam, where he will stay one night,
and then proceed to Copenhagen by way of
Kiel.
As soon as the Cars intentions were
known, the programme for the reception Of
the Emperor OF Austria was issued. He
will arrive on August IL at the Thiergarten
| station. where grand reception will be
| given him. From the station the two EN-
| perors will drive through Unter der Linden
to the old Schloss. The next three days
will be devoted to parades in the Temple
hofer fields, maneuvers at Spandau, State
banquets and naval review at Kiel.
Among the pressing questions to be dis
cussed by Bismarck and Count Kalnoky,
the Austrian Prime Minister, during the
stay of Emperor Francis Joseph, is the posi-
tion of the Pope. 1t is believed that Mgr.
Galimberti has Influenced the Austrian
Emperor to make an explicit promise to
RUPTURE THE ALLIANCE
with Italy if Italy ventures to occupy the
Vatican, should the Pope leave Rome
Signor Crispi, resenting the hostile diplo-
macy Of Austria on the Italian policy re-
garding the Vatican, comes again to confer
with Prince Bismarck Immediately after the
departure OF the Austrian Emperor.
The temper of the italian Government
toward the Austrian is displayed in Signor
Crispi's response to Prince Blsmarck's 8 con-
graduation on the repression of the Irre-
dentists committees: 1t was briefly: ''The
Irredentists will continue to agitate until
Austria removes the cause"
Emperor Williams sojourn in England
is prominent topic of the press and So
ciety. The semi-offcial newspapers indulge
in rhetorical "gush'' over English sympa-
thies with the Emperor's unwearied service
in the interests of peace, the community of
interest existing between the two nations,
their great civilizing mission, etc. There
is more genuine ring in the tone of the
unofficial press.
HAPPY HOPES.
For instance, the Vossische Zeitung
dwells upon the hope that the meeting will
be sign of the ever increasing strength of
the bond uniting kindred peoples, leading
to a mutual development along the path Of
liberty, and that both nations in the fore
front of the culture of the world, will con-
tinue to stamp their views indelibly upon
the progress of humanity. The Tdgblatt
holds that the Emperor's presence at Osborne
House gives the direct lie to the statements
representing him as inimical to England.
The Boersen Zeitung says: emperor
William grasps the meaning of his fathers
words, that Germany and England were
meant by nature to be friends Although
England will enter no formal treaty, the
result of the visit will be such an approxi-
nation to the triple alliance as will exert a |
decisive influence upon European politics."
The Post, an occasional mouth piece of
Prince Bismarck, also declares the political
character of the visit though it admits that
it is improbable that the issue will be def |
mite alliance against the common enemy.
After returning from England the Emperor
will meet the Regent of Bavaria at Bay |
reuth and will attend the close of the Wag-
merriam festival.
THE ROYAL PROGRAMME.
Thence he will go to Carlsruhe and Stras-
burg on the 21st. to Metz on the 22d and to |
Munster on the 23d. He is due at Potsdam
on the 25th to receive the Gar
The Cologne Gazette continues its outcry |
against the English African Company as |
actively pursuing to destruction German |
enterprise. The public is Indifferent to the |
fate of DIR. Peters and centers its anxiety on |
Captain Wlssman's progress. He has hith- |
erto effected little. Bushiri's force has been |
increased by the arrival OF Arabs from the |
interior armed with Remington rifles. The |
expedition is also beset by coast fevers, and |
the mortality is increasing. Fifteen out of |
60 non-commissioned officers are coming
home invalided.
Count Waldersee will make a tour of |
Switzerland on his holiday. He has passed
through Zurich, Lucerne, Berne and Ere
bourg to Geneva. The route suggests a
strategic inspection associated with his
search for health.
