POLITICS IN EUROPE.

Friendly Feeling Between the United States
and Italy-The Mediterranean Situation.
The telegram Of the President of the United
States to the King Of Italy and the answer Of
the latter are considered as the highest mani
festation Of that friendship which. born in the
first exchange Of diplomatic relations between
Lincoln and Cavour in 1861, has never ceased
to be fact between the Italian and the Ameri-
can nation, even during the suspension Of rela-
tions last year. A more spontaneous demon
stration Of international feelings embodying
true friendship and fraternal sympathy than
the two dispatches could with difficulty be
found. ''This comes in good time" says an
Italian paper, latter the settlement of the New
Orleans affair to show the people of the Ameri-
can republic that modern Italy understands
that nothing shall be left undone to restore, by
facts speaking for them selves, the old interna-
tional sympathy and friendship, the first link
OF which was forged by such eminent citizens
as Abraham Lincoln and Count Cavour az pc
riod when the very existence Of both nations
was at the mercy Of hated war;" The paper
then gives quotation of the very important
letter by which the martyr President accredited
Consul General Marsh to Victor Emanuel, q
document where the destinies of the two ma
tons, then fighting against the enemies Of their
union, were placed in parallel in order to Sc
cure for the future their international alliance.
1t is stated now that the military transport
Of the italian navy. "1he Garigliano," will
bring to New York the Columbus monument
made in Rome by Gaetano Rusao, q celebrated
Italian sculptor. The monument is present
from the Italian Americans to the empire city,
but ii is a gratifying fact that the italian min
listers, Signors Crispi and Ranardelli and many
majors. deputies and public officers contrib
uted to its fund. joining their fellow country
men in the patriotic token Of fraternity given
b. them on the occasion of the celebration of
the discovery OF America by Christopher Co
lumbus to the people Of this great and hospit-
able republic. Besides. for the 18th OF Octo-
ber the date fixed for the festivities of the ami
versary in New York, the Italian government
will send the steel cruiser Giovanni Bausan, so
that the American and the italian national flags
may witness the first official celebration of the
discovery Of this new world by the genius and
diamond viii OF the immortal Italian navigator.
IN THE MEDITERRANEAN.
| The London Chronicle has announced that
Spain is about to bring together a European
conference in order to settle the question of
the division Of Morocco. The cable states that
England, Italy, Germany and Austria will be
represented Nothing Is said In regard to
| France but semi-oficial French paper wrote
quite recently that ell questions regarding the
coasts of Africa in the Mediterranean from
Gibraltar to Alden cannot be surely and safely
regulated unless all the powers interested in i.

timated, moreover, that no possible change in
the present statu quo could be realized unless
France should have something to say. En-

France without any special right having been
included in the treaty giving TO France the

circulated in the European press, especially
the Spanish and the Austrian papers, concern
ing the result Of the mission of English Envoy
| Pleripotentiary Smith at FeZ but the general

troubled situation in Morocco the sultan will

affairs. This interference may take place

takes shape. On this subject it is believed that
Madrid will be chosen for the international
| meeting. An Italian newspaper speaking of
the probable result Of the conference gays that

rocco under certain conditions to be accepted
and agreed upon by the other powers. The
reason for this is that while Spain seems to be

alliance and with England, she 10 the only ma

THE EVOLUTION IN GERMANY.
While Prince Bismarcks speech at Kissingen
stating that he will adhere to the right to speak
on any subject affecting German interests
whenever he pleases, does not yet excite the &c
ton of the governmental press. it is neverthe-
less obviously surrnised that the government is
| preparing documents for definite answer to
tho old chancellor should he continue in his
personal campaign against the present policy Of
the empire. But, as Berlin paper says, the
time is past when the utterarces Of Prince Bis
marck against his successor can change the
opinion Of his countrymen. Whether he speaks,
writes or keeps silence his life belongs to his
tory. The world in which yesterday he lived as
leader Of men has already gone by; his bitter
eet enemies, the centrists, have already passed
| through a most important metamorphosis
| They stand more for the dreibund than for the
Vatican. ''Such deep change, making of the
opponents of Bismarck when he was in power
the supporters of tho present policy Of Chan
celior Won Caprivi," adds the Berlin newspaper,
leprives the prince Of the most powerful ar
