BERLIN. July 19.-The acceptance by Ger

upon by the Berlin and provincial German
press Tho Id0cbldtt in Its article upon the sub
ject thinks that 1t indicates tho assurance Of

the ultimate reconciliation of Germany and
France. The Hamburg Correspondent says that

Worlds Fair in Chicago, 1t is an act OF political
courtesy. and would testify to tho friendly dis
position OF Germany toward France II Ger
many would take q large part In the exhibition.

written In q thoroughly Bismarckian vein. re-
fuses TO ehare in the view that Germnny's TAX
ing part in the exhibition is necessary. German
industries the paper says, ought not to be ad-
vised to take part in the exhibition unless their
own interests prompt them to do so. Nobody"
the Ndchrtchten adds. can even remotely fore
tell what may happen to France before 1900.
Germans ought not to show a disposition to
cultivate the French. It'll sentiment thrown
away is received with scant courtesy. and does
not abate the vehemence of their desire for

long Interview and d!ned together. and Prince
Hohenlohe returned to Alt-Aussee on Wednes-

Since the interview It has been learned that
communications have been exchanged between
Vienna and Rome in regard to meeting be-

bert in the autumn. after the former receives
Emperor William AT Goedoeloe
Tho French view that the Marquis Visconti-
venosta. the new Italian Minister OF Foreign
Affairs, Is less favorable to u continuance Of the
Dreibund than WAS his predecessor in ONCE, the
Duke OF Sermonsta and also that the policy Of
Signor Luz2atti the new Italian Minister OF the
Treasury, will inclnde n commercial treaty with
France. do 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 Alliance. the newly
constructed Ministry Ia stronger in favor OF the
Dreibund than was the former Ministry.
Although tho Marquis Visconti venosta
Quilted the office of Minister OF Foreign Affairs
In 1877. prior to Italy's Joining the Dreibund. he
WAS really the inspirer OF that alliance. 1t was
under his influence that King Victor Emanuel
visited Berlin and Vienna Ia 1874. when the
project OF the Dreibund WAS discussed. King
Humbert has always held stcadf fast 10 his allies
and certainly would not now accept a Ministry
whose views in regard to the continuance or the
alliance were doubtful
The King saw Nisconu- -Venosta on Thursday
and after yard started for MOnRa. having
ceived the assurance OF the Minister that the
foreign policy OF Italy remained undisturbed.
In .-gard To the policy OF Signor Luzzatti the
German Government desires to see n CONNER

Germany and Italy being securs, whatever
would assist the prosperity OF Italy and
