BERLIN, June 29-Count Kalnoky' s
speech expressing confidence in the inten-
tions of the Servian Regency has tended to
allay the alarm which Emperor Francis
Joseph's speech produced. The cor
dial references of both to Bulga-
ria are regarded as an answer
to the Cars toast to the Prince
of Montenegro. Notes exchanged between
Austria, Germany, Italy and England on
the question of recognizing Prince Ferdi-
nand show that while there is no desire to
press the matter, no objection will be of
fered.
Turkeys decision depends upon that OF
the other powers, but, apart from Russia 8
opposition, the recognition of Ferdinand
can hardly become fait accompli while
Prince Bismarck shows so little interest in
Bulgaria's fate. The SileSSGn Gazette goes
to the length of asserting that even
should war result from Russian
occupation of Bulgaria and demand for
the evacuation of Bosnia by Austria, Ger
many would not feel obliged to assist Aus
tria in the struggle, as the convention rela-
tive to the occupation of Bosnia and Herze-
govina was made without Germany's con-
sent.
CHANCE FOR TURKEY.
The Cologne Gazette, referring to Turkey s
rejection of Russia's overtures for conven-
tion to insure Turkish neutrality in case of
war, dwells on the expediency of Turkey
joining the triple alliance which, it says, is
a further check on Russian aggressive
schemes. West Prussian papers report that
Russian troops along the German frontier
are being strongly reinforced.
The Notiondt Zeitung in an article
headed England and Her Rivals" ably
reflects the feeling here on the failure of
the Egyptian conversion scheme. 1t argues
that, since Russia is pushing her frontier
ever eastward in Central Asia, the security
of the Suez canal has become most i'm
portant for England, who is less inclined
than ever to evacuate Egypt or share her
dominion there with any other power.
Therefore all the materials are ready to
hand for Franco-Russian coalition against
England, forcing her to become an informal
member of the Central European Peace
League.
The North German Gazette continues to
make daily attacks on the Swiss Govern
ment Though the incident practically
ended with the disavowal of the Wohlge-
muth article, the Hamburger Nachrichten
admitted dealing with the question from an
academic and theuretic point Of view, but
none the less is attracting much attention.
ONE OF THE SCHEMES.
1t discusses the partition of Switzerland
between France. Germany and Italy as q
solution of the question, and SAYS this would
greatly contribute toward the chances Of
peace by bringing the German and
italian frontiers IN direct con-
tact with the st. Gothard Railway,
and compensating France for the loss of
Alsace-Lorraine. The Liberal press shows
no sympathy with the official attacks on the
Swiss Government, which have already in
jured the business relations between Ger
man and Swiss commercial houses.
Emperor William will arrive at Kiel at
o'clock on Monday morning, and will wit
ness regatta. At 5 P. NJ he will sail on
the royal yacht for Norway, accompanied
by the dispatch boat Greif. 1t is semi
officially announced that he intends to spend
week in Italy en- route to Athens.
1t is reported that the Emperor persists in
his refusal to approve of any one of the five
candidates for the Bishopric of Munster
presented by the Chapter. Notwithstanding
the fact that they were carefully chosen
with the view of their being acceptable to
the Government.
The Government has further expressed
dissatisfaction at the lukewarmness of the
Archbishop of Posen in combating the
Polish agitation. The Catholic journals
are making an ardent campaign in behalf
of the anti -slaveryC Congress at Lucerne They
say that they want the German delegates to
show clearly that the anti-slavery move
ment now here awakens greater sympathy
than in the Fatherland
