BERLIN. Oct. lL-The speech OF Signor
Crispi, the Italian prime minister, at Flor
ence, is an admission of FeGro's interview,
which i-ritated Austria by showing too
open anxiety for financial reasons to con-
ciliate Fraace. King Humbert is said to
have conveyed hint to the prime
minister that he had gone a little
too far In this direction. hence his Florence
speech was aimed especially to conciliate
Austria and assure her that it was to ftaly's
interest to remain in the triple alliance.
Signor Crispis remarks have evoked less
enthusiasm here than in Vienna, because
those in political hfe are confident that
whatever hints in that direction Signor
Crispi may make for dlpkomatio reasons
be Is never likely to seck an alliance with
Franco HIS rank opportunisn, leading 10
the belief that he would net hesitate 10
abandon any alliance or embrace any hue
OF policy profitable to Italy. does not inspire
confidence in the financial world. This
feeling was reflected by q decline on the
bourse on the receipt OF the speech.
RUSSIA AND FRANCE.
The tone Of the Russian press shows that
the speech will assist rsprochement with
France. The NoUe Vremgd says it ma kes
1t incumbent upon France TO como to a
definite understanding vita Russia in order
to neutralize the danger Of possible aggres-
sion on the part of the allied powers.
The official press does not confirm the
reports that meeting will take place
between Chancellor Won Caprivi and Signor
Crispi. 1t is certain that no dgte for a
meeting has as yet been arranged, but the
Cologne Gazette says it will take place in
Northern Italy few weeks hence.
Prior to his departure on a hunting ex-
cursion to Hubertus to-day Empeor
William received Count de Launey, the
Italian ambassador TO Berlin, who ure-
sented to his majesty portrait of King
Humbert. He also received Charles
Gibson, an American professor Of law,
whom the emperor invited to take luncheon
with him.
AFFECTED BY THE NEW TARIFF
As result of the new United States
tariff law, manufacturers of clothing are
holding back their stocks. A large number
Of operatives will be discharged from the
wooden goods factories in the Grieen berg
district in Silesia, and ths weavers at Now
avs, near PotSdam, are expecting a
lockout. Press comments ON the
new tariff continue, and the question
| Of European tariff campaign against
America, or q German-Austrian customs
union, is still eagerly discussed. The rumor

RUSSIA EXPECTS INCREASED TRADE.
Russian agriculturalists are counting upon
expected European reprisals for the new
tariff to find larger opening In European
markets for their corn and cattle. Numer-

to apply to the western powers to facilitate

It has been settled that the Sultan Of

present Rsichstag will sanction the
payment, and the government is
reluctant to allow the company to acquire
