Rerln. Nov. 13-The visit of Count Co
luehowski the Austro-Hungarian minister
for foreign affairs to King Humbert. at
Monza, and its attendant circumstances
are regarded In German political circles
as being of the highest Importance. The
conservative and agrarian newspapers in
terpret the visit as meaning a closer un-
derstanding between Austria-Hungary and
Italy, and as a leaning of those two powers
towards Great Britain. The leading organ
of the agrarians and nationalisits, the
Deutsche Zeitung, says: 'In this we are
unable TO see anything but a weakening of
our diplomatic position. Under Prince Bis
marck our country was the mediator be-
Russia and Austria and Austria and Italy,
while France was isolated and England
was kept in check by Russia. The Russo
English irreconsilable contract is still ex-
listing; but France has made an agreement
with Russia, and Austria has made one
with both Italy and Russia, in each case
over our heads and the internal and for
elgn policy of Austria go hand in hand un-
der the lead of two Poles, Badeni and Co
luchowski, who aim at the suppression of
German influence"
The Rundschau publishes an article to
the same effect, denouncing the duplicity
of British statecraft, whereby both Aus
trla and Italy are gradually becoming es-
tranged from Germany.
The Boersen Courier, leading financial
organ, says: ''We are approaching famine
conditions. Victuals have risen in price
to such an extent that the sustenance of
whole strata of the population is in
doubt. Meat has become for the laboring
classes, thanks to the import prohibitions,
an article Of luxury hardly attainable, and
our poor crops have driven the prices of
cereals to such nights that not only the
industrial population and the dwelers in
cities, but even the rustic population, ex-
cepting that part of it belonging to the
suffering agrarians are threatened in their
existence. A moment Is approaching
when the government will be compelled
to throw open again those avenues of
trade which are now artificially clogged.' -
