LONDON Sept. 15.-The Chroniclo
this morning has an editorial in which
it welcomes the suggestion Of the st.
James Gazette that new dreibund, in
Guiding Great Britain, the United
States and Italy would solve the Ar1ne-
nian problem. The Chronicle looks
upon this as proposal having nothing
in common with cynical indifferentism
and it greatly hopes that it will find an
echo in the United States. The Chroicle
proceeds to assert that an American
admiral was last year ordered to bonn
bard Yildiz palace il there was any
further massacres Of Armenians.
'These ORDERS" says the Chronicle,
"were subsequently withdrawn when
the Venezuelan dispute came to head:
a single example Of the danger Of leav-
ing such disputes to simmer until they
boil over at the most disastrous mo-
ment. The sooner Lord Salisbury and
Mr.. Olney can agree to the arbitration
Of the question the better will be for
the chance of union which the st. James
Gazette so wisely commends."
THE PEACE OF EUROPE
LONDON Sept 16.-The Times prints
a special article this morning on the re-
cent meeting of the emperor Of Ger
many and the czar Of which the follow
ing is a part: ~ ' s-- Il
1.-THE interviews between the emperor
and the czar at Gorlitz consisted of two
long talks Emperor William was ef-
fusively amiable and talkative and
even rhetorical, while the czar was re-
ticent; brief and cautious Emperor
William declared the Russo-French en-
.tente caused him satisfaction rather
than anxiety because he regarded it as
a guarantee Of peace. His speech then
proceeded as follows. cannot guaran-
tee verbal accuracy. but believe this is
substantially correct. The German en-
peror said: The French nation does not
wish war, but when those at the head Of
affairs desire it, the nation is very lia-
BILE to let itself be carried away. At
present, however, France would not en-
ter upon a great war without your CO.
operation, and I have complete coli
dence in your traditional wisdom and
firmness. I know you will not make
war in order to give France the salts
faction of ravanche, just as and my al
lies will do nothing to furnish pretext.
.I may say even more. am glad Of
your intimacy with France. because
that intimacy will suffice to hold in
check the revolutionary spirit by which
it is agitated and will help to fight and
crush it.
"In Russia you have nihilism. the spir-
1t of conspiracy-the spirit of darkness.
In Germany we have scientific social
ism, the spirit of destruction. disguised
under the mask of hypocritical scientific
formulas-a spirit which is very danger
Gus in a people which delights in obscure
philosophical conceptions and which
imagines it understands what is obscure.
In France what dominates is the thirst
for overthrowing the existing order OF
things-the desire Of novelty which
takes possession of over rich and COM

we ought to act as the guardians OF
order and the protectors of peace Of the
world. 1t is most urgent question. It
is the salvation of all and if we march

kings we shall be rewarded by the grati-

to one, Czar Nicholas shook Emperor
| William warmly by the hand and said:
II am absolutely in agreement with you

According to the other report. the czar
seemed not altogether at ease when the

merely in vague terms his pacific inten-

sequentiy declared himself satisfied
with the reply.
