BERLIN, May THE Government awaits
with considerable anxiety the solution Of
the italian ministerial crisis. Although the
Triple Alliance last year was prolonged un-
I'll 1897, 1t is all-important that the successor
OF Rudini should be man who will give a
genuine, not a merely verbal adhesion. Of
fetal adYices point to the selection of Signor
Gioitti as RudinPs successor. The North
German Gazette says Giolitu will entirely
support Crsprs and RudinPs foreign policy,
and would not allow any reduction in the
war budget or diminution Of the military
forces. Despite this assurance, official cir
eles undoubtedly fear that Italy's economic
weakness will be drag upon its effective
action as an ally. The crisis is likely to
alter the arrangements for a meeting be-
tween William aud King Humbert. The sit
uati0n causes a decided weakness on the
bourses both here and at Vienna. as Ru-
0lnrs defeat Is felt here to have an import
far beyond Italy's domestic interests.

renew the entente with Russia in the diree-
ton OF negotiating commercial treaty have
been baked by 81. Petersburg opposition,
Gar would be welcome as tending to a re-
Cancellation. In the meantime, the anti
German party prevails in Russia. The re-
preston OF the German element in the Bal
tic provinces is more severe than ever. The
use Of the Russian language is made COM
pulsory in schools which have hitherto been
exempt.

CAPTAIN w. III. Mclean. bound from Pana-
ma and way ports. arrived here to-day. In
conversation several of the subordinate off,
GERS gave some information with reference
to the probable action of the company
should Congressman Bowers secure the
adoption of his resolution by Congress.
That man Bowers is fighter" said one
of the officers, "and the company now
understands that it can't monkey with him.
He holds 1T right to scratch and it has either
got to fish, cut bait or go ashore. If the
thing comes TO showdown it is quite evil
Government subsidy. These vessels are OF
the fourth class, and under the sub
sidy each vessel receives bat 5000
from the Government for each voy-
age. This does not begin to equal
the figure paid by the railroads,
so there is no question as to the intentions
Of the company, II obliged TO choose be-
tween the Two. Now, what freight do we
bring from New York and the East? Why,
just what the railroads are willing to give
US. That which comes is principally made
up of barbed wire. hardware. etc. When
it comes to light freight or merchandise, on
which rates are high, we are not IN It, The
railroads say what we shall or shall NOT
carry"
The feeling is running very high here
against the Pacific Mail Company because
it fatty declines to do any business with
any part of Southern California. Repre-
sentative Bowers is being supplied with
abundant evidence on that point. and the
fight will be waged To the bitter end.

LONDON, May Tt transpires that the
story told by Amy Faulkner, the dress
maker, who was found yesterday terribly
injured beside the railway near Leeds, who
