BERLIN. May THE government awaits
with considerable anxiety the solution of
the Italian ministerial crisis Although the
triple alliance treaty was last year pro-
longed until 1897, 1t is all important that the
successor OF the Marquis di
hudini should be man who
will give genuine, not merely verbal
adhesion to the treaty. No Italian states
man, OF whatever party, would venture on
assuming the power to repudiate che treaty,
King Humbert personally pledged himself
to Emperor William prior to the renewal
OF the treaty not to sanction the existence
OF cabinet containing ministers hostile to
the alliance. Yet the present crisis is
directly due to Premier RudInis financial
proposals, which involved a war budget,
any diminution Of which implies decrease
In Italy's military strength and consequent
lessening OF her ability TO fulfill her cou-
tract with the Central European powers.
RUDINI's PROBABLE SUCCESSOR.
Official advices point to the selection Of
Signor Giolittt az ex-Premier Rudini's suc-
oessor.
The North German Gazette saws that
Signor Gtolitti would entirely support the
Crispi and Rudini foreign policy, and would
not allow any reduction in the war budget
or any diminution tn the military forces.
Despite this assurance, fears undoubtedly
affect official circles here that Italy's eco
nomio weakness will be drawback upon
her effective action as an ally. The crisis
is likely TO alter tho arrangements for a
meeting between Emperor William and
King Humbert. Premier Rudini was to
accompany King Humbert and the new
Italian ambassador, Count Taverna, had
a preliminary mission regarding what
effective army Italy Is now able TO place at
tho disposal OF tho allies. This highly
practical question, 30 long unsettled, ap-
peared TO be on the point of decision, so
therefore Premier Rudini's defeat is felt
here as having an import far beyond Italy's
domestic interest The situation causes de-
cided weakness on the bourses here and at
Vienna.
VISIT FROM THE GEAR.
The AIgemdine Reichcorrespondez
which sometimes gets direct tips" from the
Russian finance ministry, announces posi-
lively that the czar Is coming to Potsdam.
II this report be true bis visit must ueces-
sarily be brief one OF courtesy, as the en-
perors plans. which are fixed for months to
come, do not include visit to the czar. 10
is certain that attempts continue to
renew the entente with Russia,
though the efforts Of Count Won Schouyaloff,
the Russian ambassador to Germany In the
direction of negotiating commercial
treaty have been baked by the st, Peters
burg opposition. Even a courtesy visit
from the czar would be welcome as tending
To n reconciliation In tha NTH ha
antiGerman party prevails in Russia.
GERMANS IN THE BALTIC PROVINCES.
Repression of the German element in the
Baltic provinces is more severe than ever.
The use OF the Russian language has been
made compulsory In the schools Of Cour-
land, which have hitherto been exempt
from that obligation. Students clubs at
Dorpat University, which are made up
largely of Germans, have been placed under
the ban. Russian professors are taking the
places OF Germans. Russian students who
obtain scholarships are sent TO Dorpat with
view of strengthening the Russian and
outweighing the German element.
BERLIN's WORLDS FAIR SCHEME.
Ex-Minister Delbruck has become a
strong advocate Of a worlds exhibition at
Berlin. At a large Industrial meering,
commenting upon the fact that German
commercial bodies now wanted to be inter
nationally exhibited, Herr Delbruck ats
trtbuted this desire to the favorable infu-
ence OF the new commercial treaties. The
movement for an international show hes
spread. Agricultural bodies are now pre-
pairing petition, which will be presented
20 Chancellor Won Caprivi in its favor.
CORN BREAD TO THE FRONT.
Mr.. Murphy. the American special CONS
missioner to introduce the use Of corn meal,
has sent a loaf OF corn bread. together with
some corn meal, to every member Of the
ReiohstaR. The Berliner T'dgebLatt quotes
Herr Lucius, a member of the Reichstag,
as saying. after samping the bread, that he
wished German representatives abroad
would display equal energy for German in
terests
Count Won Schouvaloff, accompanied by
his secretary, has called upon Minister
Phelps in order to give quasi-formal ex-
preston of Russia's qualification over the
work of the American relief commission.
He said that American generosity was as
broad as the continent and as fruitful as
the soil. The traditional friendship between
America and Russia has now been made
warmer by gratitude.
