BERLIN, July 1S.-Edwards, American
consul general here, has invited all Ameri-
can consuls in Germany to n conference
in this city with Herr Wermuth, imperial
commissions to the Worlds fair Mt Chi
cago. The consular body will also meet the
American committee which is now in Eng
land. Edwards hopes through the consular
conference and public meetings to dispel
German misconceptions in regard to the
severity of the Mckinley bill.
Lord Salisbury's adhesion to the triple
alliance appears to have been made with
due regard to the protection of English
interests in Egypt and India. Only partial
indication of the contents of the draft con-
cluded at Hatfield house has TRANSFERRED.
but enough is known to suggest
that Lord Salisbury obtained assurances
from the emperor that France
Russia projects against Enalands
possessions in the east will be met with
open German support of England. An
entente is thus established all around. The
arrangements aim at Asiatic as we'll us
European equilibrium. Diplomatic opinion
here concurs that Lord Salisbury got the
OeSG OF tne bargain, securing u positive
check upon French schemes against Egyp-
tian occupancy and Russian encroachments
in India, without committing England to
armed intervention in support of Germany.
The car. after the reception of the French
squadron at Cronstadt, will sail for Copen-
hagen, escorted by united Russian and
French war shi;s. The latest rumor regard
Ing attemps upon the life of the car was
that an officer tried to murder him with an Ak.
The report arose from the fact that the czar
was amusing himself i'll a forest chopping
trees when the head of his AK flew off, struck
an attendant in the face ana wounded him.
The car vent to the assistance of the
wounded man and got SOM blood on his
hands and clothes. An officer of tho guard
approached them and thought the car was
in danger. He called upon some soldiers
to rescue his majesty and before explana-
ton could be made the und attendant
was cut down by several over-zealous SOL
diers. The car caused the officer to be
punished.
1t is officially announced that the generals
commanding the Second. Fourth, Eighth
and Ninth army corps will be placed on the
retired list. This sweeping out of old and
tried men is only partly excused by their

ward Unitarianism. The council de-
cided that Congregational minis
ters should not exchange with Unitarians.
The delegates were entertained at break
fast by the total abstinence society. Dur
ing the course of the meal a number of
temperance speeches were made. This af-
ternoon the delegates attended a garden
party at Woodford.

Among the interesting peculiar ties OF
Niagara Falls is continual changing Of
outline and a gradual backing upstream
that has been going on for some little
time. Il seems that the American Fall
holds its ground more firmly than that
which Is contiguous to the Canadian
shore. According to the report Of q
careful survey which State Engineer
Bogart submitted TO the Commissioners
of the STATE Reservation recently, 1t ap.
peers that silce 1912 the American Fail
has receded 30 75 feet, or less than eight
inches a year, while the Horseshoe Fall
has been working backward in an irreg-
ular fashion, the mean recession in these
4s years being over l04 feet, or more
than two feet year At one point its
crest has gone back 270 feet since i649
1t will be some time yet before the Falls
will back into Lake Erie at the present
