The speech of Signor Crispi, the Italian
prime minister, at Florence, is an indi-
rect admission of the Figaro interview
which irritated Austria by showing a
too open anxiety, for financial reasons,
to conciliate France. King Humbert is
said to have conveyed hint to the
prime minister that he had gone q little
too far. The DEMO Florence says the
speech was aimed especially to conciliate
Austria and assure her it was to Italy g
interest to remain in the triple alliance.
The tone of the Russian press shows
that the speech will assist reapproach-
ment with France. The Novoe Vremya
says it makes it incumbent upon France
to come to a definite understanding with
Russia, in order to neutralize the danger
of possible aggression on the part of the
allied powers.
Prior to his departure on hunting
excursion to Huburtusstock today, En-
peror William received Count de Laun
try, Italian ambassador to Berlin, who
presented to his majesty a portrait of
King Humbert. He also received Chas
Gibson, an American professor of law,
whom the unprecedented to take lunch
con with him. W
AS the result of the new United States
tariff law, the manufacturers of clothing
are holding back their stocks. A large
number of operatives will be discharged
from the woolen goods factories in the
Gruenburg district in Silesia, and the
weavers at Nowaves, near Potsdam, are
expecting lockout.
4 Press comments on the new tar
iff continue, and the question
of European tariff campaign
against America or German-Austrian
customs union, is still eagerly discussed.
The rumor that the government had
opened negotiations with Austria, caused
cOmmotion among the manufacturers
in Austria and the agriculturists in
Hungary, but since Austria's rejection
of Bismarck's offer of modified tariff
treaty in 1879, both nations have adopted
a strong protective policy. So many in
terests are engaged on both sides that no
sober-minded man believes such
policy can be realized at the
present time. The North German
Gazette's warning against cherishing
such an illusion on the subject is well
justified. German exports to Austria
amount to 800, 100000 ilorins, of which
100,000,000 fiorins is textile fabrics.
Austrian exports to Germany amount to
100000, 900 horins, and consist mainly
of raw products and agricultural pro-
ducts. Any increase in the latter would
ruin German agriculture, while an in
crease in the former would imperil
highly the protected industries of Aus
tria.
The Reichstag and German govern
ment are not likely to risk the entire loss
of the American market on the strength
of reciprocity by cooperation with Aus
tria, which loses practically nothing.
The Vienna chamber OF trade and
commerce has opened an inquiry into
the mother-of-pearl trade, the turner's
in which are willing to emigrate to
America, but lack the necessary capital
to ensure their admission to the United
States.
Russian agriculturists are counting
upon European repriasal for the new
tariff, to find a larger opening in the
European markets for their corn and
cattle.
The accouchment of the EN- press is
expected in February. The projected
court festivities will be advanced
1t is officially denied that General Won
Waldersee, chief Of staff, is about to re-
