NEW YORK, Dec. 2s.-The American
Federation Of Labor has sent word to

POWERS AT LoGGERHEADs.
Austria and Germany Make Use OF
Smaller Powers to Strike a Blow
at Russia.

NEW YORK. Dec. pa special to
the Herald from Vienna says:
Reports which have arrived from
Bucharest give an account OF n new
confguratlon of the Balkans Of the
greatest political interest which, II II
should turn out to be true. will throw
a curious light on the relations Of Ger
many and Austria to Russia.
II is stated In the Bucharest press
that, at the suggestion Of Count Won
Bulow. an offensive and defensive al
lance has been concluded between
Turkey and ROumania. which was d.
rected against any power which would
try to disturb the peace in the Balkans.
This Is perhaps only designed to dis
tract Russias attention to a certain
degree from the Chinese problem.
With a view to paralyzlng this alli-
ance an entente has been arrived at
between Servla and Bulgaria, under
the patronage Of Russia.
In well informed circles in Vienna
the news was at first registered with
out comment. but the fact that the in
formation has been circulated allows Of
the conclusion being drawn that the
convention between Russia and Austria
regarding the Balkans is no longer as
solid as It formerly was.
