AN INEVITABLE CONFLICT
conflict between these two powers at pres

evitable by the statesmen and political students
of Europe. From time immemoriaI there has
been a deep and bitter racial hatred between
the two countries intensified in the past century

endeavored TO retain her hold upon the northern

FUTURE OF ALBANIA.
THE LITTLE KNOWN COUNTRY A BONE
OF CONTENTION BETWEEN
ITALY AND AUSTRIA.

AT no moment since the formation Of the
Triple Alliance has it's existence been so seriously
threatened at the present time. Indeed. it
is difficult to how, in the face Of the decara-
uons which have just been made by Count Golu-
chowsk to the delegations of the Austrian
and Hungarian parliaments and by Count Pri-
netti to the Chamber of Deputies at Rome, Italy
can possibly continue TO remain an ally of the
Dual Empire In the address of the Austrian
Chancellor. which was not a mere speech de-
livered on the spur of the moment in the heat of
legislative debate. but a carefully pondered
and prepared exposition of the intentions and
views of the imperial crown and government he
laid stress on two particular points
The his virtual announcement of the
intention of Austria Hungary to refuse to Italy
the advantages she enjoys under the exist

that political alliances should be rendered de-

ment of commercial differences" The other was

AS If in answer to these utterancss on the
part of the Austro- Hungarian Government
Count Prlnetti. the Italian Minister of Foreign
Affairs, In speech delivered nine days ago in
the Chamber of Deputies at Rome. declared in
an equally explicit manner that Italy would only
renew the Triple Alliance. which expires In 1903,
provided she could obtain greater tariff advan-
tages than those which she enjoys under the ex-
listing treaties OF commerce. and while he added
that neither Italy nor Austria would endeavor
to secure the upper hand in Albania, yet he
spoke with so much sympathy of the sufferlngs
bound to Italy by ties OF race that he has
aroused no end of enthusiasm among all those
OF his countrymen who bent upon the eman-
cipation of Albania from Turkish rule and its
conversion into independent State under
Italian protection and suzerainty.
ITALIAN INTEREST IN ALBANIA.

difficulty between Austria Hungary and Italy is
not the more acute OF the two points of issue
between the two powers At any rate II is the
more Immediate and the which appeals the

his less recent purchases. including the John A
Coffey place and the Gilbert Turner farm, be-
tween SouthfeId and Central Valley. These
purchases solidify his holdings from Tuxedo
Park TO within a mile of Central Valley.
Just outside the north gate OF the park is a
colony OF about thirty families OF natives and
Hungarians. This colony is known Wildcat,
probably because # is situated in little valley
at the lower end Of Wildcat Hollow. Most of

optimistic concerning his own future but ad-
rnits that all the rest OF the colony. except the
blacksmith, must go. He said to the reporter:
I'm the Oldest resident Of Wildcat except the
family that lives across the railroad. and I'm the
only man that never paid rent. I've been here
ever since 1866 and the park needs me TO mend
its shoes and the blacksmith TO shoe Its horses.
OF course, the barber, the grocer ana the tavern
keeper are not needed. No. sir, no notice has
been served on me and the blacksmith. but L

The huts IN wildcat are strung irreguarly
along both sides OF the SOuthfeld highway, ana
there is a trough near the centre of the group
with strong flow OF good water from spring

TWILIGHT In

The old steamer Twilight lay hard

mishap took place." said an official
