Berlin, Nov. 13.-(Copright, 1897. by
the Associated Press 1.-The visit Of
Count Goluchowski, the Austro-Hun-
garian minister for foreign affairs. to
King Humbert, at Monza. and it's at
tendant circumstances, are regarded in
German political circles as being of the
highest Importance. The conservative
and agrarian newspapers interpret the
visit as meaning a. closer understanding
between Austria-H Hungary and Italy,
and as a leaning of those two powers
towards Great Britain. The leading or
gan of the Agrarians and Nationalist,
the Deutsche Zeitung, says:
'In this we are to- see anything but
weakening of our diplomatic position
Under Prince Bismarck our country
was the mediator between Russia and
Austria, and Austria and Italy, while
France was isolated and England was
kept in check by Russia. The Russo
English irreconcilable contract is still
existing, but France has made an
agreement with Russia, and Austria.

BRITISH STATECRAFT.
The Rundschau publishes an article
to the same effect, denOuncing the du-
plicity of British statecraft, whereby
both Austria and Italy are gradually
becoming estranged from Germany"
An old diplomat of Berlin. who be-
longs to one of the dreibund powers,
said to the correspondent of the AssO-
ciated Press:
Austria, for several years, has been
disappearing of Emperor Williams for
eign policy, so far as England is con-
cerned. and the needless prOvOcatiOn Of
England contained in that famous mes
sage to President Kruger has been Sc
riously, if silently, condemned by Aus
tria's statesmen. The same is true Of
Italy. Both Italy's and Austriais Med
iterranean interests are of vast and
far-reaching Importance, and they can
not be Subserved so long as there is a
latent antagonism against England, as
the feature of the decibund policy.
ITALY AND AUSTRIA.

extent outside of it"
The official neWspap erS are silent on
the subject, but the editor of one Of
the leading government papers said:
I'VE are still waiting for our cue from
above"
NAVAL BILL.
Confrmatory news has been obtained
of the report that the reichstag, when
it recOnveneS, will receive the naval
bill and the military reform trial bill
In regard 10 the naval bill, however,
the government will encounter strong
opposition from the Centre party
Through it's leader, Herr Lieber, it
sought to effect an understanding with
the chancellor, Prince HOhenlohe, but
the effort failed. The Centre wished for
a promise that the Jesuit expulsion law
would be repealed, in Exchange for
which the Centre engaged to support
the naval bill. But Prince HohenlOhe
fatty refused. and the naval bill can
not pass without the votes of the Cen
tire party. The refusal Of Prince HO-
henlohe to agree to the demands of the
Centrists was solely due to the instruc-
tons of the emperor, who feels highly
indignant at the pope'S encyclical, in
which the reformation is being repre-
scented as being a holy rebellion" and
