DRIEBUND NOT IN DANGER.
ITALY'S NEW MINISTRY IN FAVOR
OF ITS CONTINUANCE.

Kaiser.
Berlin, July 19.-Prince Hohenlohe. chan
cellor of the German empire, who is
spending his holiday at his schlOss in Alt
Ausse, Austria, has left for Ischl, for the
purpose Of paying a visit to Emperor
Francis Joseph of Austria. The chancel-
lor and the emperor had a protracted in
terview which was not shared by any
member of the Austrian ministry. After
their exchange of views they dined to-
gether and Prince Hohenlohe returned to
Alt-Ausse on Wednesday. Since the in
! terview at Ischl it has transpired that
communications have been exchanged be-
tween the governments at Vienna and
Rome in regard to a meeting of Emperor
Francis Joseph and King Humbert to
take place in autumn after the former re-
ceives Emperor William at Goedole.
Naturally the influence of the recent
changes in the Italian ministry will be as
sociated with these interviews. The French
view of the situation, that the Marquis
! Nisconti-Venosta. the new Italian minis
| ter Of foreign affairs, is less favorable to
the continuance of the Dreibund than was
his predecessor in Office, the Duke Of Ser
moneta, and also that the policy of Sig
nor Luzzati, the new Italian minister of
the treasury, will include a commercial
] treaty with France, does not coincide with
! the official opinion here, which is based
| upon advices from Rome
According to these advices, instead of
tending to opposition to the triple al
! lance, the newly constructed ministry OF
! the Marquis du Ridini is stronger in IA
vor of the Dreibund than was the for
| mer ministry Although the Marquis Vis-
| cont NenOsta quilted the office of min
| lister of foreign affairs in 1871, prior to
| ltaly's joining the Dreibund, he was really
| the inspirer of this alliance. 1t was un~
! der the influence of his prompting THAI
! King Victor Emanuel visited Berlin ana
| Vienna in 1874 when the project of the
! Dreibund was discussed. King Humbert
| has always held steadfast to his allies,
! and certainly would not now accept
| minister whose views in regard to the
| continuance of the alliance were doubt
| ful. The king saw Viscount Nisconu-Ne-
| nosta on Thursday, and afterward start
! ed for Monza, having received the assur-
ance of the minister that the foreign poll
| icy of Italy remained undisturbed. IN
| regard to the policy of Senior Luzzati, the
| German government desires the estab-
| lishment of a commercial r'approachment
| between Italy and France upon the
| ground that the military pact between
| Germany and Italy being secure what
| ever would assist the prosperity of Italy
| and strengthen an ally to bear the milf
tary burdens would be eminently desira<
| BILE to Germany. Although Signor Luz
zati takes office pledged to provide
| full military budget, there is reason to
| state that communications are proceeding
| between the governments at Rome,
Vienna and Berlin, in regard
| to the Italian military econo-
mics, in which the other powers of
| the dreibund are interested, and it is very
| probable that the projected interviews be-
! tween the monarchs will have reference
| thereto. The government in Berlin is alb
solutely satisfied with the new Rudini
| ministry.
| The emperor is spending the most of his
| time of his tour of the northern waters
| in yachting N the Bergen 1ords. His
! majesty has eXperiende much bad wealth
| er thus far on his trip there having been
| unceasing downpours of rain for days at
| a time. Latterly the skies have become
! brighter While the imperial yacht Ho-
| heuzollern has been wrapped in the rain
mists the kaiser has been accustomed to
| take long walks on shore, accompanied by
| Count Philip Gutenberg, the German am
! bassador to Austria, and Others of his
| suite, the emperor out-pacing all the rest.
| The evenings on board the Hohenzollern
! have been spent in the performance of
| short comedy pieces, with concerts and
! readings. The emperors business has
! been chiefly conducted in the morning
| hours. Wire connections with the cont

| the cruise, and by this means the emper-
| or was enabled to send congratulations
| to President Faure upon the latter's
| cape from the bullet of an assa ssin, a
| very short time after the shot was fired

! 1t is now fixed that the kaiser viii return
! to Wilhema Haven on Aug. 5, when, with
! the empress, he will start for Wesel to
| unveH a statue of Emperor William l. at
! that place on Aug. 6. From Wesel the kai-
ser and kaiserin will visit Essen as the
! guests of Krupp, the great German gun
| maker. for which visit great preparations
| are being made by the Krupps, and the To-
! cal authorities. After his entertainment
| at Essen, the emperor win join his family
! at Wilhelmshoho and on Aug 9, he will go
| to Baden to attend a grand function upon
! the occasion of the 10th birthday of the
! Grand Duke of Baden.
A report of doubtful authenticity has
| been in circulation that the head of the
! federal states have given their assent to
4 the emperor to ask the Grand Duke of
! Baden to assume the title of King, with
| a union of the grand duchy of Baden and
| the reichland When the question of link
| ing the grand duchy of Baden with the
] rechland was seriously discussed some
| years ago, the heads of the federal states
were unanimous in declaring against the

The acceptance by Germany of an invi-
