BERLIN, October 26.-The proposed con-
ference between Prince Bismarck. Count
Kalnoky and Premier Crispi has been de-
layed until after Emperor Williams visit to
the Sultan of Turkey. The political i'm
portance of the event is not now denied. 1t
is admitted in official circles that hopes are
entertained that the Emperor's interviews
with the Sultan will result in the ad-
hesion of Turkey to the general aims of the
triple alliance, without her formally enter
ing the league.
Bismarck's project is to construct second
defensive line behind the Dreibund, con-
sisting of England and Turkey, not COM
mitted by treaty to the special purposes OF
the central European alliance, but linked
by kindred interests. Hence he is man.
euvering to commit Lord Salisbury to a
new treaty with Turkey relating to the per-
manent occupation OF Egypt.
THE CHANCELLoR's PROJECTS.
Count Herbert Bismarck will precede
Emperor William to Constantinople in
order to meet the German and Eng lish
Ambassadors and the Turkish Foreign
Minister before the interview between the
German and Turkish monarchs. Bis
marck's projects in regard to Balkan set
tlement, as communicated to the Gar. have
led to temporary cessation of hostile Rus
sian intrigues
The Gar has certainly consented to per-
NIT the Chancellor to try to realize some
modus vivendi, holding himself free to re-
sort to independent action in 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.
The Sultan desiring to invest the recep-
tion of Emperor William with the greatest
pomp, has directed Marshal Ali Nizamii,
Aarif Pasha, the President of the Council
and other Ministers, and Generals Achmed,
Won Goltz and Streiker to proceed to the
Island of Phedas to meet the Emperor.
General Streiker was aid-de-camp to
Crown Prince Frederick when he visited
Constantinople In 1869.
A GREAT AFFAIR.
The German reception committee has
chartered three vessels to 60 to San Stefano.
The Germans will give banquet to the
members of the imperial suite and "com-
mere" to the officers of the squadron. The
news of the arrival of the imperial party
aboard the Hohenzollern in the Piracus
was telegraphed here at 2 o'clock this alter
noon. The German squadron was sighted
passing the extreme southeast peak of
Moria at 6 o'clock this morning. A gale
was then blowing.
Court kilograms state that heavy weather |
was encountered. The Empress was pros. |
trated by seasickness. The King and I
Queen of Greece and the Crown Prince re-
ceived the imperial party at the entrance to |
the harbor. Their landing was delayed for |
two hours owing to the condition of the |
Empress. After landing the party took train |
for Athens, where they were received by the |
Greek Minister and resident diplomats. |
They then drove to the palace in state car
riages. ..-
PLENTY OF JEWELS.
Princess Sophie's already 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 Princess Charlotte |
Of Wales. Queen Victoria's presents do |
not figure prominently, They consist of |
the usual Indian shawls, whereof she |
seems to have q ready store, set of Hou-
iton lace a narrow diamond necklace and
number of books. In contrast is King |
Humbert's present, sent through the Prince
of Naples. 1t consists of a splendid parure
of diamonds, valued at 400, 900 marks.
Prince Bismarck's earliest return to Ber-
lin will be on Thursday. 1t is improbable
that the Reichstag debates will demand his
presence till the socialist law is discussed.
Count Herbert, before starting, went to
Friedrichsruhe, accompanied by the
Turkish Minister, Kiamil Pasha, who
wanted memoranda to prepare the Sultan
to talk with the German Emperor Bis
marck gave Kiamil long conferences, but
refused him written memoranda. He also
advised Kiamil that the interviews between
the Sultan and Emperor William must not
proceed through an interpreter unless he be
a member of the Sultan's council.
THE SOCIALIST TROUBLES.
The alteration of the socialist law is not
approved by any section of the Reichstag
excepting the Conservatives. The Nationals
and Centreists disfavor the permanent dura-
ton of the law as depriying the House of
its present controlling power to amend the
law every two years. In order to sweeten
the proposal the Government modifes some
Of its strictest provisions.
Thus, a newspaper. now suppressed for
one offensive article, will be stopped after
two oaenses. The power of the police to
cancel the licenses of taverns frequented by
is abolished. Further, meeting
does not require previous police sanction,
though it will remain liable to closure.
1t is probable that the majority will reject
5he permanent bill, and that a substitute of
i've years duration will be passed. The
Progressists made motion that a newspa-
per illegally suppressed have the right to
obtain damages if the suppression should be
There is small chance of its ac-
,eptance. The Socialists moved for the
abolition of duties on all provisions.
THE TARIFF AN ISSUE.
Though there is abundant proof of the
errible pressure on the poor caused by the
existing tariffs, It is improbable that the
will grant relief, though it is GER
ain the food question will be prominent
actor in the coming election. A section OF
st demand for the abolition of the pork
luties The Progressists also moved an
amendment to the electoral law, aiming to
'ender difficult electoral frauds and unjust
pressure upon electors This will not be
adopted. The Conservatives and National
Liberals profess to be indignant at the bare
uspicion that electoral frauds are possible.
The National Zeiturg, referring to the
lemand OF the Progressists that voting |
ickets be delivered in closed envelopes,
Idvises the majority to refuse to even dis {
uss this and similar motions.
