BERLIN. May S.-The political situation In
italy remains the chief topic OF discussion in
political and military circles. Tho leaders 81
the Italian parties who have caused the fall OF
tho Marquis Ill Rudint are said to declare that
they do not wish tho slightest alteration OF
naly's relations to tho triple alliance. Such
assurances arc received with doubt here how
ever In view OF tho fact that tho rallying cry OF
Tho fallen Preniier's opponents has been re-
ducton OF the army" The Significance OF tho
proposed friendliness OF tho Italian opposition
Is therefore interpreted thus: I'VE wish to en-
10y the benefits while avoiding tho burdens OF
the peace alliance
Rudni has been less aggressive friend OF
tho triple alliance than was Crispi yet. In
emergencies has shown himself to be fully rs
firm and uncoupromising rs his predecessor.
He has resisted moro pressure on tho part OF
Franco, both within and without. than was
eyor brought to bear on Crsri. Jet has never
ridden roughshod over French feelings. This
fact has not recommended him especially to
Emperor William H.. who admired Crispfs
dnshipg defiance OF French Diplomacy and
now would gladly SEQ tho cx-Prcmier return

Austria Italy, and Germany was mover warm
or and mover SO apparent to tho whole world

reror feels that the moral force Of such out
spoken friendship is ono OF tho best checks
