BERLIN, Sept. 6.--Ihe conferences betWeen
Chancellor Won Caprivi and Count Kalnoky.
the Austrian prime minister, near Schwart-
zenau, have ended in their advising the
English government not to be in hurry to
take any diplomatic action in connection
with the Dardanslles incident. Tho tone
of tho official press here indicates distinctly
that the government is adverse to joining
England in any hasty demonstration against
the por4e's agreement with Russia. The
North German Gazette holds that the
portes assent to the claim of Russia is less
important as breach of treaties than
serious as disclosing new line OF policy
adopted by Turkey toward Russia.
The vienez Presse (semi-officiaD antici-
pates sharp antagonism between British
and Russian influences at Constantinople,
and recommends that England become
more amenable as far as Egypt is con-
cerned. In the opinion of the Presse. the
new position of affairs does not involve any
danger to the peace of Europe. Other
great powers, it holds, have no grounds for
taking an active share in England's i'm
pending diplomatic measures. The cur
rents of intrigue around the sultan, which
are now in swollen condition, may be al
lowed to run their course. as the vital in
terssts of Turkey will finally bring every
thing back to the proper track. The wait
ing which the imperial chancellors have
recommended to Lord Salisbury is explained
by official advice received tonight from
Constantinople to the effect that the
life of the new Turkish cabinet will be
brief. Highest Turkish circles are indig-
nant over the composition of the now min
istry. and especially at the Dismissal OF
Ghazi Osman, minister OF war and marshal
of the palace. Strong protests have been
sent to the sultan, whose position Is men
aced by the malcontents.
The referenbe of the Vienese press to the
belief that everything will return to the
proper track, points to an expectation OF an
early collapse of the pro-Russian ministry.
A successful conspiracy for the deposition
that are discussed covertly in diplomatic
circles. 1t is the expressed conviction in
diplomatic circles here that Lord Salisbury
will accept the advance proffered him and
and await the outcome OF events.

Catholic congress for the consideration OF
the question of the restoration of temporal
power to the pope and comn!lttee was ap-
pointed to arrange for holding such con-
gress. In discussing the question of a
neutral ground for a place for the meeting
of the proposed congress, Switzerland was
most favored. The delegates will be sum-
moned from every Catholic community II
the world. The question of the restoration
of temporal power to the pope will be
treated not rs m Italian question, but al
one of universal concern.
The congress affirmed the determination
of the German Catholics to remain as reso'
