NOTES FROM GERMANY.
A Budget of Personal and Political Gossip
from the Fatherland.

RFRIIN. Nov. S-The relations between
the Italian court and Austria have been
further strained by advices from Count
Magia, the Italian ambassador at Vienna,
that Cardinal Galimberti, the papal nun
clio. has been operating upon Emperor
Francis Joseph, throug the empress and
arehdukes, TO break the connection with
Italy.
The Riforma. Of Rome, cOntrived 10 get
hold of dispatches from Cardinal Calm
berti to the pope, reporting progress in the
diplomacy tending TO isolate the Italian
government. The authenticity of the dis
matches as published has not been denied.
Prime Minister Crispi has been for a
long time urging that the emperor of
Austria ought to return King Hum bert :
visit He now insists upon Austria 5
recognition of Rome as the capital OF
Italy, by the emperor going To the
Quirinal The official belief here is that
Chancellor Won Caprivi started with
authority TO soothe Slgnor Crispi and
King HumberU, by promise that the
emperor OF Austria would 20 10 Rome IN
tie spring.
Communications from Count Kalnoky,
the Austro-Hungarian prime minister,
received before the chancellor left, II Is
understood. announced that Emperor
Francis Joseph would submit in the event
of Signor Crispi maintaining that his
tinuance of the triple alliance.
Chancellor Won Capuvi's remarks lndl-
cate that the affair has been settled AS
Signor Crispi demanded. The autograph
letter from Emperor William TO KING
Humbert. Of which the chancellor was the
bearer, alluded TO the chancellor's services
in executing Germany's foreign policy,
and said the emperor agreed with him.
The reports that the chancellor wanted
combined reDrisais against the United
States because of the Mckinley Dili are
unfounded The Austrian papers are still
hankering after retaliation, although the
negotiations here for commerclal coall-
tion resulted in utter failure. Italy Is the
least affected by the bill Of any European
state. She would not risk offending
America to satisfy doubtful ally.
The chancellor will return by the way Of
st. Gothard I'm time 70 prepare for the
opening of the landtag on "Wednesday.
Several reforms that are certain to he
proposed in the speech from the throne
will be seriously opposed. A reduction IN
the tariff on wheat and rye, and reforms IN
the commercial laws, among them being
the abolition of old fedual rights. will be
fiercely contested by the old conservatives.
The emperor according to the belief IN the
ministerial circle. is determined TO make
no concessions IL the lower house refuses
TO accept the reforms proposed, the gov
ernment will dissolve il without delay.
The Heligoland bill for the landtag does
not conceal the fact that the island Is TO be
used for war purposes. 1t declares that the
island is valuable as an outpost for attack
and defense and will be of special value
in time Of war. II must be strongly fortl-
fed against a hostile coup de main. The
bin does not detail the extent of the
proposed defensive work nor its cost.
The medical journals refer cautiously to
to Prof Koch : cure for consumption. The
professor begs his medical friends TO re-
fran from dicussing the subject until his
investigation shall have given more re-
liable results The Pharmaceutische Iei-
tung confirms the statement that the
professors method is inoculation with a
weakened cultivation of tubercular bacllll.
The Mediziuische WOchensa declares that
the therapeutics Of cOnsumptiOn are on
the eve Of a new victorious scope Prof.
Koch declines 30 state when he viii be
able TO present a report OF has expert
ments lie says the results are still too
limited for scientific certainty.
