rar1in. jan 1O-Count Goluehowski,
Austrian minister of foreign affairs, will
arrive in Berlin on Jan. II. The ostensi-
ble object of his coming is to take part
in meeting of the members of the Ger
nan order of the Red Eagle, of which ne
uears the decoration of the Grand Cross,
but if is known beyond the possibility Of
doubt that the purpose of his visit is to
confer with the emperor and Prince Ho-
berlohe. the imperial chancellor, upon
matters affecting the position of Austria
in the Dreibund. The radical changes in
the artillery arm of the German military
service. which it is the intention of the
government to effect, if the assent of the
Reichstag to the proposals for that pur-
nose can be obtained, will necessitate the
pursuit of a similar policy in the army Of
Austro-Hungary, involving an estimated
expenditure of at least S0,0O000O forms. II.
as the result of the conference of the en-
peror. Count Goluchowski and Prince Ho-
henlohe, the kaiser should advise stimuli
taneous reforms in the armies of the pow
ers signatory to the Dreibund, it will be
a question as to how far in that direction

will be a matter of still greater doubt as
to whether it's ally will be able to meet
the financial demands which the reforms
required will entail.
Despite its Importance from every point
of view, however, the question of new
ornaments is a matter of minor consider
alton compared with the crisis in the in
ternational relations of the Driebund pow
ers, arising from the policy of Russia
in regard to Turkey. Indeed, nobody,
even the diplomats themselves, knows
what will be the result of the conferences
of the ambassadors in Constantinople.
Baron de Calico, the Austrian ambassa-
dor to Turkey, who by reason of his
precedence as dean of the diplomatic
corps presided at the conference, does not
appear to send reports of the proceedings
of the meetings to Count Goluchowski,
which that statesman is justified in re-
garding as of a comforting character,
and it is understood here that the Aus
tran government desires a fuller and
more explicit understanding with the Ger
man emperor as to what action Germany
will take in the event of an outbreak re-
curing the armed Intervention of Aus
tria.

of NJ, Shishkin as the successor of Prince
Lobanoff in the Office of Russian minis
Ter Of foreign affairs with Count Mura-
vleff as his coadjutor occupying the po-
siton previously filled by NJ. Shishkin, has
greatly darkened the outlook from the
Dreibund point of view. Count Mura-
Flett was at one time secretary of the Rus
sian embassy at Berlin and is known to
De an intense partisan of France and a
pronounced Germanophobe. Commenting
upon his appointment as the active Rus

mistake and she, by all means. ought
