ing the muneuvers in SILICA. The car

The Emperor william aud the king Of
Suxony will be received by the emperor
of Austria ut Vienna, and then go on q
shooting expedition 10 the Styran Alps.
The projected Interview between the Elm
peror William anu the Emperor Francis
Joseph depends largely upon the Aus
trian governments acceptance of the
terms which the emperor proposes for
revision of the Berlin treuty. The
opinion of the foreign office officials
here continues hopeful of definite
solution of the Balkan troubles before
the end OF the year. 1t is probable

i'll the spring.
TO REASSURE FRANCE.
The rZar has sent Grand Duke Michael,
president of the Russian council, on
secret mission TO Paris to reassure the
French government.
The Moscow Gazette seeks to Quell the
fears expressed by the French press in
regard TO the desertion OF France by
Russia, by declaring that the ear per-
sistently aims TO maintaiD the balanc. of
power, recognizing the fact that Russia
and France have common interests and
united responsibilities. France ought
therefore, concludes the Gazette, remain
absolutely tranquil.
The report that Chancellor Won Ca
priv obtained promise from NJ. de
Giers to abaie the frontier tariff so far
az able, is ungrounded. The question
was not mOoted at the conference.
a ukase issued to-day at ST. Peters,
burg raises the customs duty generally
20 per cent. The fact that coffee, CO.
Goa, tea, sugar and coal imported
through the western frontier and the
Baltic ports are exempted from the rise
gives n semLlaure of confirmation TO the
report, but practically the nknse does
not alter the restrictions of trade with
Germany. The object of the ukase is
declared 10 be to make duties levied in
gold correspond with the altered rate of
exchange. 1t IS further announced the
ukase preeedes O general revision OF the
tariff.
Prominent among the measures agreed
upon by NJ. de Giers and Chancellor Won
Caprivi will be found one looking to the
international repression of the Anarch-
ists and Nihilists, the ear desiring Euro
Dean concert in thus matter.
The rio.ous meeting of the Berlin So
clalists at FriedriChauSen has given the
government q preteXt for ordering spe-
DIAL military precautions against greater
disorders.
THE CATHOLIC CONGRESS

sion. Six thousand people are in attend

tabIishment in Germany OF all the Cath
Ollie orders, including the Jesuits and
the restoration of the pope's temporal

subvention for Catholic missions in
Africa.
