ENGLAND TOLD TO GO SLOW.
A Conspiracy for the Deposition Of
the Sultan a Possibility.
IMPORTANT CATHOLIC CONGRESS
To Be Held to Discuss Restoring Temporal
Power to the Pope.
RUSSIANS CLAIM A BIG OIL FIND.

tween Chancellor Won Caprivi and Count
Kalnoky, the Austrian Prime Minister, at
the Maires Schloss, near Schwartzenau,
have ended in their advising the English
Government not to be in hurry to take
any diplomatic action in connection with
the Dardanelles incident. The tone of the
official press here indicates distinctly that
the Government is averse to joining Eng
land in any hasty remonstrance
against the Portes agreement with
Russia. The Ngrth German Gazette holds
that the Porte's assent to the claims of
Russia is less important as a breach of
treaties than serious as disclosing the new
line OF policy adopted by Turkey toward
Russia
The Tiannce P1eSse, semi-offcial, antici-
pates sharp antagonism between British and
Russian influences at Constantinople, and
recommends that England become more
amenable so far as Egyyt is concerned. In
the opinion of the PreSse the new position of
affairs does not involve any danger to the
peace of Europe. The other great powers,
it holds, have no grounds for taking an
active share in England's impending
diplomatic measure The currents of in
trigue around the Sultan, which are now in
a swollen condition, may be allowed to run
their course, as the vital interests of ofTurkey
will finally bring everything back to the
proper track.
THE LIFE OF THE CABINET TO BE BRIEF.
The Imperial Chancellors' recommen-
dation to Lord Salisbury is explained
by official advices from Constantinople to
the effect that the life of the new Turkish
Cabinet will be brief The highest Turkish
circles are indignant over the composition
of the new Ministry, and especially at the
dismissal of Ghazi Osman, Minister of War
and the Marshal of the Palace Strong
protests have been sent to the Sultan, whose
own position is menaced by the NAL
contents.
The reference of the Tiennese Pesse to the
belief that everything will return 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 contingencies
that are discussed covertly in diplomatic
circles. Premier kalnoky and Chancellor
Won Caprivi are too deeply engrossed in
their conferences and will not witness the
coming army maneuvers.
1t is the expressed convictions in official
circles here that Lord Salisbury, relying
upon the general ultimate support of the
Dreibund Ministers, will accept the advice
proffered him and await the outcome of
events.
IMPORTANCE OF THE CATHOLIC CONGRESS.
The Catholic Congress, which opened on
Sunday, and held its closing session to-day,
assumed unexpected Importance. Over
thousand delegates were in attendance. The
-
cluded Herr Lowenstein, Count Ballestrem,
Baron Hermann, Prince Salmsalm and
Baron Kettler. A resolution was adopted
declaring that the time had come to con-
woke a great International Catholic con-
gre6s for the consideration of the question
of the restoration of temporal power to the
Pope and committee was appointed to ar
range for the holding of such a congress.
This committee will probably select the
18th of May next, the one hundredth ami
yerSary Of the birth Of Pope Plus X, for
the opening of the Congress- In discussing
the question of neutral ground for place
for the meeting of the proposed Congress
Switzerland was most in favor. Delegates
will be summoned from every Catholic COM
munity in the world The question of the
restoration OF temporal power to the Pope,
for the consideration of which, as before
stated, the congress is to be convoked, will
be treated, not as an Italian question, but
as one Of universal concern.
CHEERING POPE AND EMPEROR
The Congress just closed affirmed the de-
termination of German Catholics to remain
resolute supporters of the Dreibund, and
decided to continue the policy of DR.. Wind
thorst in working for the recall of the Jesu-
its and for religious instruction in the pri-
mary schools. After considerable discussion
it was voted 10 favor State regulation of
labor questions. The concluding session of
the Congress was ended amid cheers for the
Pope and the Emperor.
The removal of the proposition against the
importation of American pork into Germany
has ELECTED few press comments. Several
Progressist and Socialist papers refer to the |
satisfactory measure as a relief to the poor
classes. In official circles where is best |
known the nature of the resistance to the |
measure and the persistent efforts made in |
its behalf by Hon. William Walter Phelps, |
the United States Minister, his success has |
evoked many encomiums. Mr.. Phelps will |
prolong his sojourn at Homburg, where he |
has been Joined by his wife. He is improv- |
ing in health, and is very happy over the
outcome oi MS light on the pork question.
POLICE HUNTING A WRITER.
The police have been eagerly hunting for |
the author of the stories recently published |
in the French papers regarding the health |
of the Emperor. Having secured the man. |
uscript of some Of the articles they have
been interviewing a number of newspaper
men in an attempt to find someone who |
would recognize the handwriting of the
manuscript, but all of their Efforts have
proved unavailing. Attempts to connect
Prince Bismarck with the authorship of
these stories have met with an equal lack of
success.
The Institute of international law will

tion regarding bankrupts, international

time ago ran away defrauding some of |

OIL NEAR THE CASPIAN SEA.
Russian advices report the discovery of !
great coal oil fields in the region of the
Caspian Sea- The production of these
nelds IS said to be more than ten fold greater
than that of any other existing oil territory.
AT the same time Russian producers COM
