BERLIN. May THE government
awaits with considerable anxiety So
luton OF the Italian ministerial crisis.
Although the Triple Alliance treaty
was last year prolonged until 1897, IL is
all important that the successor OF
the Marquis Di Rudini should be man
who will give genuine, not merely ver-
bal, adhesion TO the treaty. No Italian
statesman OF whatever party would VEN
ture on assuming power TO
repudiate the treaty. King Humbert
personally pledged himself to
Emperor William, prior to the renewal
of the treaty not TO sanction the exist
ence OF a cabinet containing ministers
hostile TO the alliance. Yet the present
crisis is directly due to the Marquis Di
Rudini's financial proposals which in
volved the war budget, any diminntion
OF which implies decrease In ltaly's
military strength and a consequent les
sening OF her ability TO fulfill her con-
tract with the central European powers.
Official advices point to the selection Of
Signor Gioitti as the Marquis Di Rudi-
ni's successor.
The repression Of the Germ an ele-
ment in the Baltic provinces Is more
severe than ever. The use OF the Rus
sian language has been made compul-
sorry in the schools OF Courland which
have hitherto been exempt from that
obligation. The students clubs at Dor
put University, which are made up
largely OF Germans have been placed
under the ban. Russian professors are
taking the places OF Germans. Rus
sian students who obtain scholarships
are sent to Dorpat with the view TO
strengthening the Russians and out
weighing the German element.
The trial OF w. r. Whitney, OF Bos-
ton, who is charged with beinous Of
fences against morality, has commenced
here behind closed doors. After short
hearing the case was adjourned TO al
low the defense to call further wit
nesses.
The conference between the Hun
garian financial authorities and che
RotnschIld group proceeds at Buds
Pesth. The bankers, Hausmsnn and
Bleichroeder, represent the syndicate
proposing 10 take charge OF the gold
loan.
Some American physicians, after
forming Keely institute at Copeu-
hagen, have come here TO try to intro
duce the cure.
The American legation here Is
flooded with inquiries regarding the es-
tate OF Baron Fisher, who is said TO
have left relatives in the United States.
The German authorities tell the lega-
ton that the estate is entirely mythical.
Editor Jacobs, OF the Munich At>-
mGgne Zeitung, has written 10 Minister
Phelps, stating that he had nothing TO
do with the publication OF the san Do
mingo story. Count Won Schouvalof,
accompanied by his Secretary. has
called upon Minister Phelps In order TO
give a quasi formal expression OF Rus
sia's qualification over the work OF the
American Relief Commission he said
that Americas generosity was as broad
as the continent aud as fruitful as the
soil. The traditional friendship be-
tween America and Russia has now
heen made Iarmer BIZ gratitude.
