EBFRITN. Sept 5-The conferences be
tween Chancellor Won Caprivi and Count
Kalnoky. the Austrian prime minister,
have ended in their advising the English
government not to be in a hurry TO take
any diplomatic action in connection with
the Dardanelles incident The official
press here Indicates distinctly that the
government is aTerse to joining England
in any hasty remonstrance against the
pOrte's agreement with Russia. The Vi
ennese Presse (semi-officiaD anticipates
sharp antagOnism between the British ana
the Russian influences at Constantlnople
and recommends that England become
more amenable so far as Egypt IL con-
cerned. In the opinion of the Presse the
new position of affairs does not involve
any danger to the peace OF Europe. Ine
waiting attitude which the imperial chan
cellors have recommended to Lord Sails
bury is explained by official advlces re-
ceived tonight at Constantinople, to the
effect that the life of the new Turkish
cabinet will be brief
The highest Turkish circles are lndlg-
nant over the composition of the new
ministry, and especially at the dismissal
of GhaZi OsmaD, minister OF war and
marshal of the palace. Strong protests
have been sent to the sultan, whose own
position Is menaced by the malcontents.
The reference of the Niennese Presse to
the proper track points TO the expectation
of an early collapse of the pro-Russian
ministry A successful conspiracy for the
deposition of the sultan is among the con-
tingencies that are discussed covertly in
diplomatic circles 1t is the expressed
conviction in official circles here that
Lord Salisbury, relying upon the general
ultimate support of the dreibund min

GERMAN CATHOLICS.
The Catholic congress. which opened
Sunday and held its closing session yester-
day, assumed unexpected Importance.
Over a thousand delegates were in atten-
dance. A resolution was adopted declar-
ing that the time had come to convoke a
great international Catholic congress for
consideration of the question of the restor-
alton of temporal power to the pope, and
committee was appointed to arrange for
holding such congress. This committee
will probably select the 18th of May next,
the one hundredth anniversary of the
birth of Pope Plus N, for opening the
congress. Delegates will be summoned
from every Catholic community in the
world. The question of the restoration of
temporal power to the pope will be treated,
not as an Italian question, but as one of
universal concern. The congress lust
closed affirmed the determination of the
German Catholics to remain resOlute sup
porters OF the dreibund. and decided to
continue the policy of DR.. WindUhorst in
voting for the recall of the Jesuits and for
religious instruction In primary schools.
After considerable discussion il was voted
10 favor state regulation of labor ques-
tlOns. The concluding session of the con-
gress ended amid cheers for the pope and
the emperor.

poorer classes. In official circles. where

ance to the measure and the persistent
efforts made in its behalf by Hon. William
Walter Phelps, mis- success has evoked
many encomiums. MIR. Phelps is improv-
ing in health and is very happy over the
outcome of the fight on the pork question.
