BERLIN, Oct. 26. The proposed confer
ence between Prince Bismarck, Count Kali
noky and Premier Crispi has been delayed
until after Emperor Williams visit to the
Sultan of Turkey. The political Importance
of the visit is not now denied. 1t is admitted
in the official circles that the emperor's In
terviews with the sultan will result in the
adhesion of Turkey to the general aims of
the triple alliance without her formally en-
tering the league.
SECOND DEFENSIVE LINE.
Prince Bismarck's project is to construct
second defensive line behind the drei bund,
consisting Of England and Turkey, not
committed by treaty TO the special pur-
poses Of the central European alliance, but
linked by kindred interests Hence he is
maneuvering to commit Lord Salisbury to
a new treaty with Turkey relating to per
manent occupation of Egypt. Count Her
bert Bismarck will precede the emperor to
Constantinople in order to meet the Ger
man and English ambassadors and the
Turkish foreign minister before the inter
view between the German and Turkish
monarchs
THE BALKAN SETTLEMENT
Prince Bismarck's projects in regard to
the Balkan settlement, as communicated to
the czar, have led to temporary CO sation
OF hostile Russian intrigues The czar has
certainly consented TO permit the chancel-
lor to try TO realize some Blodus Uiuendi,
holding himself free to resume 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 Berlin
conference in the spring to revise the
treaty on basis that will better secure
European peace.
HOW THE SULTAN WILL RECEIVE THEM.
The sultan, desiring to invest the recep-
ton Of Emperor William with the greatest
pomp, has directed Marshal Ali Miami
Aarit Pasha, the president OF the council,
and other ministers, and Gems. Achmed yon
Goltz and Streicker, to proceed to the island
OF Tenedos TO meet the emperor. Gen.
Streicker was aid-de-camp to the Crown
Prince Frederick when he visited Constauti-
nople in 1869. The German reception COM
mittee has chartered three vessels to go to
San Stefano. The Germans will give a
banquet to the members OF the imperial
suite, and "commers" to the officers Of the
squadron.
THE VISIT TO ATHENS.
The news of the arrival Of the imperial
party aboard the HohenEollern In the
Pir9us was telegraphed here at Q o'clock
this afternoon. The German squadron was
sighted passing the extreme southeast point
Of Moria at 9 o'clock this morning. A gale
was then blowing. Court kilograms state
that heavy weather was encountered. The
empress was prostrated by sea-sickness. The
King and Queen of Greece and the crown
prince received the imperial party at the
entrance TO the harbor. Their landing was
delayed for two hours, owing to the condt-
tion of the empress.
GIVEN AN OVATION AT ATHENS.
After landing, the party took a train for
Athens, where they were received by the
Greek ministers and resident diplomats.
Then they drove to the palace in the state
carriages The first carriage was occupied
by Emperor William, the King Of Greece,
and the crown prince; and the second by
the empress and the Queen Of Greece, The
route was lined with troops, and i'm
mense throngs gave an ovation to the
imperial party. Princess Sophie's al
ready 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
Prince Charlotte of Wales, her great-grand-
mother. Queen Victoria's presents do not
figure prominently. They consist of the
usual Indian shawls, whereof she seems to
have ready store, set Of honiton lace, a
narrow diamond necklace, and number
of books In contrast Is King Humbert's
present, through the Prince of Naples. 1t
consists of splendid set Of diamonds valued
at 100000 marks.
BIsMARCK's RETURN TO BERLIN.
Prince Bismarck's earliest return to Ber-
lin will be on Thursday. 1t is probable that
the Rechstag debates will demand his pres
ence until the socialist law is discussed.
Count Herbert before starting went TO
Friederichsruhe, accompanied by the
Turkish minister, Kiamil Pasha. who
wanted a memoranda to prepare the
sultan to talk with the German
emperor. Prince Bismarck gave M. Kiamil
a long conference, but refused him a written
memoranda. He also advised NJ. Kiamil
that the interviews between the sultan and
Emperor William must not proceed through
an Interpreter, unless ne be a member of
the sultan's council.
THE SOCIALIST Law
Alteration Of the socialist law Ia not ap-
proved by any section OF the Reichstag ex-
cepting the conservatives. The nationals
and centerists disfavor permanent dura-
ton 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 strict
est provisions. Thus, a newspaper, sup |
pressed for one offensive article, will be |
stopped after two offenses. The power |
of the police TO cancel licenses Of taverns |
frequented by socialists is abolished. |
Further, a meeting does not require |
previous police sanction, though IT |
will remain liable 10 closure IL Is |
probable that the majority will reject |
the permanent bill, and that a substitute Of |
five years duration viii be passed. The |
progressists made a motion that a news
paper illegally suppressed shall have the
right 10 obtain damages II the suppression
should be Cancelled. There Is small chance |
Of It's acceptance. The socialists moved for |
the abolition OF the duties on all provisions. |
Though there is abundant proof Of the |
terrible pressure on the poor caused by ths /
existing tariffs, Il is Improbable that the |
ISelchstag will grant relief. though 1t Is |
certain that the food question will be n |
prominent factor IA tho coming election.
DUTIES on PORK.
A section of tbs national liberals supports |
the progressist demand Tor the abolition u |
pork duties.
The pf0gressiEis also moved an amend /
inent " t5e electoral Law, aiming ~ render /
difileIlt electoral frapds and unjust pressure
