BERLIN. August 31.-The progress OF the
negotiations for the entrance OF Russia
into the European entente ls Indicated by
arrangements for the autumn meeting OF
the sovereigns. Emperor Williams con-
ference with the Emperor OF Austria IS
mannuvres In Silesa. He will STAY. there
until the end of the month and Will come
to Berlin on October Goth. Emperor VIII
liam and the King OF Saxony VIII oe re-
celved by the Emperor of Austria at vienna
and they will 90 on q shooting expedition
to the Styriann Alps.
THE PROPOSED INTERVIEW.
The projected interview between Empe-
ror William, the Gar, and Emperor Fran
els Joseph depends largely upon the Aus
trian Governments acceptance OF the
terms on which Emperor William proposes
the revision of the Berlin treaty. The
opinion of the Foreign Office officials here
continues hopeful of a definite solution OF
the Balkan troubles before the end of the
wear. Ii is probable that congress OF the
Powers will be held early in the spring.
The Gar has sent the Grand-Duke Michael.
president of the Russian Council, on
special mission to Paris to reassure the
French Government.
TO CALM FRENCH FEARS.
The Moscow Gazette seeks to calm the
fears expressed by the French press in re-
gard to the desertion of France by Russia,
by declaring that the Cars persistent dim
is to maintain balance OF power, recog-
nizing the fact that Russia and France
have common interests and united respon-
silities. The French ought, therefore, con-
cludes the Gazette, to remain absolutely
tranquil.
The report that Chancellor Won Caprivi
obtained promise from Algiers to abate
the frontier tariff was baseless. The ques-
ton was not mooted at the conference.
THE TARIFF UEAsE.
The ukase issued to-day at st. Peters
burg raises the custom duties generally 20
per cent. The fact that coffee. cocoa,
tea. sugar. and coal imported through the
western frontier and Baltic ports are ex-
empted from the rise gives semblance OF
confirmation to the report. but practically.
the ukase does not alter the restrictions OF
trade with GERMANY. The object of the
levied in gold correspond with the altered
rate of exchange. 1t is further announced
that the ukase precedes general revision
Of the tariff.
REFRESHING THE SIHILIsTs AND SOCIALISTS.
Prominent among the measures agreed
upon bv De Giers and Chancellor yor
Caprivi will be found one looking to the
international repression of the Anarchists
and Nihilists, the Gar desiring European
concert on this matter. The riotous
meeting of the Berlin Socialists OF Fried
richshall has given the Government
pretext for ordering special military pre-
cautions against greater disorders. The
guard corps forming the usual garrison
here is going to the man9uvres, leaving
only a small detachment at the depots OF
infantry. The Bradeburg corps will re-
place the guards. The tumult at Friedrich
shall arose from an abusive attack made
by Herr Willie upon Herr Rebel. An I'M
mense majority OF those present at the
meeting voted confidence in the .party's
deputies in the Reichstag.. In the row
subsequent to the meeting the mob assail-
ed the police with stones. The police
charged the crowd with drawn sabres. The
Socialist papers complain bitterly OF the
disgrace to the party arising from the OBJ
structive rowdyism of the new section.
The Catholic Congress at Coblent is
holding three-days' session. Six thou
sand persons are in attendance. The con-
gress demands the reestablishment in
Germany of all the Catholic orders, in
Guiding the Jesuits and the restoration Of
the Pope's temporal power. 1t also asks
for the Government subvention for the
Catholic missions IN German Africa.
Thanks were voted 20 Emperor William for
his attempts to establish social peace.
The next congress will be held at Ratisbon.
