entente with a fourth power indicates
that he saw in that fourth power the
coming dominator OF Europe, at least
in matters diplomatic. Tie results OF
the disclosure may be TO SO anger Aus
tria, Hungary and Italy that the drei-
bund may be dissolved, although, to be
strictly Just the present government OF
Germany had no hand IN the secret
Russian alliance. The dreibund has
lust been renewed for a period OF years,
but this notion that any member OF the
alliance may feel at liberty to form
another and secret alliance with pow
er towards which the remaining two
entertain a distrust might conceiva-
bly,, operate to make the much vaunted
drelbund appear as a mere pretense to
the powers that compose it,
The thing that is most clear and dis
tinct however out OF the shifting OF
relations that has been taking place in
Europe for some years, is the decay of
England's supremacy as a controlling
factor. No power. IL is true, probably
even Russia, would engage in open con-
dict with England II it could be avoid
ed. But she no longer lifts her dnger
and sways the ultimate action OF a re-
luctant Europe. 1t is Russia, whose
gray and formidable shadow has been
creeping across Europe, to whom each
nation turns u eonciliatory eye today.
ENGLAND recognizes this herself but
regards il as a transmutation rather
than an abridgement Of her powers.
A writer in the Fortnightly refers to
the changed order Of things in Europe
for which British blundering is largely
responsible" The change is not al
wholly satisfactory one from the Amer
lean standpoint England's preOccupa-
ton with colonial duties may be, in the
long run, a greater thing for humanity
than a picturesque and unsuccessful
attempt to rescue Armenia. But Eng
land, with all her faults, stands consid-
erably more FOR civilization than Rus
sia. and to see her superseded by the
latter in the manipulation OF the more
delicate problems Of modern Europe inn
presses the enlightened beholder as
backward step. The disclosure Of the
treaty. although It has
lapsed some years. is significant in this
respect as we'll as in others,

The Astoria Chamber OF Commerce
deserves the congratulation Of all cit
liens for the faithfulness with which
that organization has been maintained
through all the hard times. 1t is
thought by the members that now there
is an era of prosperity before the cham
Der which will not only benefit the
members Of that body but the entire
city as well Industrial conditions are
rapidly changing, and If there ever was
a time when Astoria needed a repre-
sentative body TO look after its COM
mercial enterprises, now is that time.
The principles Of the Republican party
and good government, coupled with the
maintenance Of sound money. have
just been reaffirmed by the country, the
coming year viii see the completion Of

the foundations will have been laid for
several manufactures. With all this
work in hand the Chamber of Com

THAT RUSSIAN TREATY.

The revelation Of Prince Bismarck, to
the effect that the triple alliance at the
time of its greatest powers was hut a
running accompaniment to a secret
treaty between Germany and Russia,
has agitated Europe to an extent which
is, on the whole, surprising, when we
consider how thoroughly Russia has
usurped the foreground in European
politics and is the factor upon which all
nations are counting, either for or
against their own plans. The motives
gr Bismarck in making the startling
disclosure have been variously inter
preted, but they have little to do with
the essentials of the case, since he is
no longer a leading figure in the diplo-
matte relations of germany. The fact
that the greatest Of European diplo-
mats, at time when the fortunes Of
his country were openly bound up with
those Of two others, for the mainte-
nance of peace in Europe, found it
polite to maintain another but secret
