Views tho Presidential Nomination.
signs Of Continued Peace.
The result OF the Minneapolis convention has
been the subject OF much discussion In Europe
this week. As il was a general belief that
Blaine would be the nominee Of the republican
party his defeat has caused much comment. A
French newspaper compares the case Of the
American statesman with that OF Prince Bis
marck. supposing that his failure TO secure the
nomination closes the public career ot the man
who, after Lincoln and Grant, seemed 10 be the
most popular leader Of his own party. But the
news did not excite otherwise the criticism Of
the European press. Their special attention
viii only be stirred by the result Of the presi-
dental election next November. On this sub
lect the opinion seems 20 be In Europe that
II sectional dissensions in the democrats party
continue, President Harrison viii serve a
second term without any doubt. he nomins-
ton for Vice President Of ex-Mnister Mhitelaw
Reid Is considered over the Atlantic ~ a source
OF strength 70 the republican ticket. though
II was q general belief that Mr.. Morton, a pre-
decessor Of Mr.. Reid at Paris, would be renom-
mated.
FRANCE AND GERMANY.
The visit Of the car 10 kiel and the festivities
Of Nancy were scarcely over when il Vas pub
hcly stated that both the kaiser and the czar
knew OF the visit OF Grand Duke Constantine 10
President Carnot. And though a German news
paper gave out that the grand dukes action had
not been Endorsed by his sovereign, vet il Is a
general impression now that the sudden appear
ance at Nancy of the Russian grand duke had been
agreed upon by the powers in order TO avoid
national excitement in France and ON the Ger
man frontier. The German press view the visit
Of Alexander Ill to kiel a positive sign that
peace will be preserved in Europe for longer
period than was generally expected and that
the coming war" Is not subject OF discussion
so long as "a cordial entente" reigns between
Russia and Germany. or, to quote the proper
words of the article, between the RomanoG
and the Hohenzollern."
OTHER INTERNATIONAL roprcs.
But there are other questions that have con-
tributed to keep the European press busy last
week, such as the journey Of Bismarck to
Vienna, the great strike in Spain, the insult
to President Carnot at Longchamps by three
persons, who, says dispatch, were released tho
next day; the great reception rendered by Eng
land to the Prince of Bulgaria and the hosting
of the flag of Great Britain for the first time at
Fee, Morocco, by the new minister Of her
majesty.
A French leading newspaper the Journal des
Debats. speaking of this last fact. seems to be-
leve that England is trying 10 establish her in
nuence in Morocco in the same way abe did
In Egypt Ii is reported, in fact, that the new
English minister plenipotentiary, after jour
ney through the country, has asked Of the gov
ernment a concession for building @ railroad
from Tangier TO Fee and telegraph line con-
Meeting all the cities on the coast from Tangier
TO Morocco, also the admission Of Morocco TO
the postal union.
This question is likely TO be closely watched
by the powers who have business in the Medi-
terranean sea- The growing influence Of Eng
land in Morocco, the only independent Moorish

subject OF serious discussion, especially In
France and Spain, where it is considered that
an English occupation OF Morocco would prae-
tically give England the key of the Mediter-
ranean from Gibraltar TO Suez. The press Of
London, in answer to the argument discussed
by the press Of Paris and Madrid, points out
the fact OF. the practical occupation Of the re-
gency Of Tunis by France and Of the strategic
Notifications of Biserte by French guns re-
Gently undertaken.
MARRIAGE AND pIPLoMAcY.
On the subject Of the marriage Of the
daughter Of the Duchess Of Edinburgh 10 the
heir Of RournGnia and Of the probable marriage
of Princess Maud of Wales TO Prince Ferdinand
of Bulgaria, now at London, q dispatch from
Paris states that such an event would give Great
Britain the control Of do able stronghold on
the road to Constantinople. 'If the match
should take place the result might be q conflict
such as Europe has been dreading for q long
time, inasmuch at present England h APP
parently doing her utmost, concludes strangely
enough the quoted cable. ITO give offense 10
