BERLIN, Sept. 5.-The conferences be-
tween Chancellor Won Caprivi and Count
Kalnoky, Austrian prime minister, near
Schwartzenau, rave ended 10 their advis-
ing the English government not to be in
a hurry to take any diplomatic action in
connection with the Dardannelles incident.
The tone of the official press here indi-
Gates distinctly that the government is
averse t, joining England in any hasty
remonstrance against the porte's agree
ment with Russia.
The North German Gazette holds that
the porte's assent to the claims Of Russia
is less important as abreach Of the treaties
than serious at disclosing the new line of
policy adopted by Turkey toward Russia.
The Viennese Pesse semi official an

concerned. In the opinion of the Pesse

of Europe The other great pow

vices received tonight from CONSTANT
nople to the effect that the life of the new
Turkish cabinet will be brief. The

the composition OF the new 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 own position is menaced by the
malcontents. The reference of the
EenHese Besse to the bsliei that every
thing will return to the proper track,

The Catholic congress which opened
on Sunday aud held its closing session
Yesterday assumed unexpected Importance.
Several thousand delegates were in attend
ance. A resolution was adopted declar-
ing that the time to convoke a great in
ternational Catholic congress for the con-
slderation OF the question of the restora-
ton Of temporal power to the pope, and
a committee was appointed to arrange for
holding such n congress-. In discussing
the question of neutral ground for the
place of holding the proposed congress,
Switzerland was the most in favor. Dele
gates 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 uni
versal concern.
The removal OF the prohibition against
the importation of American pork into
Germany has elected few press comments.
Several Progressist and Socialist papers
refer to the measure as a relief to the poor
classes. In official circles, where are best
known the nature OF the resistance to the

10 its behalf by United States Minister
