coso whom the subject OF the withdrawal from
| Egypt lie bronched.
| Major Wissmann left Cairo on Thursday
| en- route for Berlin. During his short stay in
| Egypt he received from and sent to his Gov
| eminent many long DISPATCHES, but 1t is not
probable that the African dispute between
England and Germany will be settled until he
has personally reported to Emperor william
and Chancellor Cnprivi. The Government hero
is daily questioned on the subject in Parla-
| ment. but declines to give any Information.
| There is little reason to doubt, however, that
the negotiations will result In concessions TO
the Germans in regard to the territory west Of
| Victoria Nyanza in return for n German evacu-
| ation OF WITH In the east. That seems to be
| StaIley's opinion also, although he declines to

recently received communication from
tho British Foreign ONCE which would
furnish interesting reading could 1t

was marvellous. for he has ceased do
nouncing the Germans, and now tolls Eng

| question Is the easiest thing imaginable. 1t Is
purely a matter OF give and take. The African
wilderness is not worth n shot fired in anger
| between Englishnen and Germans. 1t Is not
worth even an exchange Of angry words"
King Milan has this week experienced the
| novel sensation OF finding a newspaper with q
good word for him. The fact that the news
paper in question is the Noroe Prernva. the
| semi official organ OF the Russian Govern
ment. should suggest even to Milan's mind
that the praise is not altogether disnterested.
| Russia, 1t seems. among all her adherents In
Servia cannot count man Of great intellectual
| gifts. strong nerve. and. above all. OF command
| ing influence in the Servian army. According
| to the Noroe FremUd. Milan possesses all
| these qualities and qualifications. but
he does not love Russia. The OBJ
| lection. however. Is not thought to
| be insurmountable. Milan must reside
a certain part OF every year in Russia. and
learn to love. But Milan has said with much
| force OF language that he will not wIlk into
the Russian parlor. no matter how allurinR
the willy spider may mako 1t. He abdicated
crown for the sake OF enjoying life in Parts and
in other places where enjoyment is to be had.

worry him II he can help 1t.
| Meanwhile the state OF affairs in Servia Is
| extremely disquieting Austria has punished
| the radical Muscovite Government by prohib
| iting the import Of Servian cattle, thus running
| Servia's greatest industry The farmers and
| peasants are in consequence. prepared to kick
| tho ministry into the Danube at the first op-
portunity. The game is. OF course. really
| being played by Russia and Austria, and the
| balance OF European opinion points to the
| former as the eventual winner.
The young Italian Crown Prince has been
| feted and retted at Berlin with viGor and cor
| diality intended to efIace the memories OF his
Russian tour. He is now on his way homo,
carefully avoiding the Austrian route. as. ac-
cording to kngly etiquette. no italian Prince
can set foot In Austria until Emperor Francis
| Joseph has returned the visit OF King
Humbert
Mr.. r. =. O'Connor is about to sever his con-
motion with the smart little Star the brightest
afternoon newspaper in London. He founded
this journal after infinite labor and pushed 1t
to success almost from its inception. Lattery
O'Connor has not pulled 80 amicab)y with his
| codirectors as was desirable. and a sepasst!on
became a necessity. O'Connor leaves the con-
| Germ with the solace OF $4,000, In exchange
for which he pledges himself not to start an
other newspaper in London for three years.
Mr.. Justice Mathew and special jury in the
Queens Bench were occupied three days this
week in hearing an action for libel brought by
| G. W. Butterleld. an American wine promoter.

| conducted his own case and lost. but Justice
| Mathew remarked to the jury that he certainly

cans had lost anything Of the native shrewd-
ness OF their race. while developing many
| other good qualities"
