T7arliD. Jan. Fin view of the fact that
,.a future of Germany's relations with
t-,rIand is involved in doubt, Chancel-
Nv Prince Won Hohenlohe has sent as
s,,rine communications to the govern
-.arts at Vienna and Rome pointing out
that any diplomatic action which might
he taken by the Berlin government would
mot involve either the triple alliance or the
f.7iy-i5ual interests of Austria or Italy. 1t
is understood that the chancellor's COM
nfnication expressed entirely pacific in
tentions on the part of Germany toward
England, and also a belief that a good
mutual understanding between Germany
and Great Britain would be restored at an
early day. 1t is known that the Italian
government, fearing that the agreement
with Lord Salisbury for the cooperation
of the italian and British squadrons in
the event of certain contingencies in the
Mediterranean might be disturbed by a
rupture between England and Germany,
has asked certain explanations from Ger
many. and it is probable also that Aus
tria has wanted to know how the en-
peror viewed England's warlike demon
strations In these circumstances Prince
Hohenlohe, having nothing to conceal,
could reply frankly that the whole mat
Ter was a question between Germany and
England alone, and it is not deemed possi-
bic that the chancellor could have given
such assurances while German diplomacy
was seeking to form coalition of Euro
pean powers against England The story
of the attempt to form a European coali-
ton originated in England, and ought
now to be knocked in the head.
Germany has not sought, nor does she
seek, any active allies in her endeavor
to check English encroachments in the
Transvaal endangering Germans and Ger
man investments there ana in Delagoa
bay.
Ii is not a question that ought to dis
turb the peace of Europe or to cause any
European power to intervene except those
concerned in the recent Hinterland conVen-
tons. The government here has not sug-
gested any European conference, but the
envoy Of the TransVaal republic, DR.. Bee
laerts Won BlOkland while in Berlin, spoke
or such conference as among possible
eXpedients. The Boer envoy has been in
Paris consulting with the French govern
ment IN regard to the situation in the
Iransvaal, and if the troubles there be-
come more aggravated and England re-
fuses the Beers q just settlement, the re-
suit Will be that the Transvaal govern
ment will make an appeal for conference
of the powers to dispose of the whole
matter, but there is no reason why Ger
many or France should insist upon such
a conference. This is the semi-offcial
view Of the situation, but it obviously
omlts from calculation the results of Eng
lands rejecting the offices of a conference
ana also England's declining to accept the
view of the Berlin government that the
allied powers composing the dreibund could
not be affected, or that diplomatic hostil-
ties could and should be limited to fixed
areas 1t is significant, too, to find Prince
bismarck who is no friend to English
pretensions, warning the Berlin govern
ment through the hamburger Nachrich-
ten against making external and internal
peace by the adoption of policy of ad-
lenturOus intervention.
The Nachrichten describes the task of
the German government as that of walk
ms, at great hight upon tight rope.
The operations on the bourSe during the
past week show that considerable atten-
ton has been directed to the excitement
prevailing in England, with view of TAX
lng every advantage of it and the conse-
quence has been that steady orders have
been quietly made to buy on any marked
decline in London. The operations of the
past week have also disclosed a strong re-
circles upon the maintenance OF peace.
Imperial loans, Prussian consols and some
bank stocks have declined, but the decline
Is not sufficiently heavy to indicate that
there is any fear that the country is on
the eve of war
