BERLIN, Oct. 1.-THE speech Of Sig
nor Crispi, the Italian prime minister at
Florence, is an indirect admission of the
Figaro interview, WHICH irritated Austria
by showing too open an anxiety for finan-
cial reasons 10 conciliate France. King
Humbert is said to have conveyed hint
to the prime minister that he had gone a
little too far.
Hence the Florence speech was aimed
especially 10 conciliate Austria and as
sure her il was Italy's intent TO remain
in the triple alliance. The tone of the Rus
sian press shows that the speech will as
sist trapprochment with France.

tiou among the manufacturers in Austria
and agriculturists in Hungary. But since
| Austra's rejection of Bismarck's offer OF
a modified tariff treaty in 1879, both ma
| tons have adopted strong protective
| policy. So many interests are engaged OF
both sides that no sober-minded man be
| lieves such project can be realized a
the present time. The North German Ga

an illusion on the subject is well justified
