London Disturbed.

London, July 24.-The London newspa- pers this morning note with inquietude the sudden resolve of Emperor Nicholas to visit Emperor William, and all kinds of speculation are indulged in as to the possible motives for and the results of such momentous interview. at a time when so many difficult problems are facing European diplomacy. The Moroc- can and Scandinavian questions are re- garded as possible subjects for discussion, and it Is also supposed that the reaction ary party in Russia may have succeeded in persuading the Emperor of the im- potency of permitting M. Witte to con clude peace on a basis acceptable to France and Great Britain.
 All the correspondents agree that the in- terview was of Emperor Williams seek ing, and the result is awaited with the greatest anxiety.
 curious story is published in Brussels in connection with King Leopold's ap- peal recently to the Belgian chamber to pass the bill providing for the fortifica- ton of Antwerp. The Petit Bleu asserts that few weeks ago when a Franco German war over the Moroccan difficulty seemed not improbable, Great Britain called Belgium's attention to the fact that Belgium was expected to become the chief battlefield. There upon a bill extend- Ing the Iortincations of Antwerp was in- troduced, but 1t met with such opposition that King Leopold felt it unnecessary to intervene to secure its passage.
 No new news of Emperor William s whereabouts has reached London since he left Gefe, Sweden, and was cruising norfhward. There Is no harbor at Borgo. and the imperial yacht must be in the open sea. @''
 Telegrams from Berlin indicate that the meeting between the Emperors ia as great surprise there az elsewhere.

The Bible as History.

Rev. David Fleming, the secretary
to the biblical commission IN Rome,
has been obliged to return to England,
owing to prolonged ill-health. His
many friends hope for speedy i'm
provemcnt i'll his condition.
Referring to the loss which the bib
lical commission suffers by the remov-
al from Rome of Father Fleming, the
correspondent OF the Tablet" in that
city, says that the learned Franciscan
will, of course, continue to be Con-
sultator," and to render service in
keeping the Holy See informed of the
phases and difficulties OF the Biblical
question in England; but it may be as
sumed that his name appears for the
last time as secretary in his signature
to the second decision of the commits
sion. which has Just been made public.
1t will be remembered that the first
decision pronounced against the opin-
ion which holds that Catholic Exege-
sists may explain what seem to be his
torical inaccuracies, in the Scriptures,
by the theory that they are "tacit quo
tations" from profane authors. The
historical difficulty forms the basis of
the second decision. Some Catholic
writer's have attempted to remove the
historical difficulties of the Old Tesla
inent by denying that the sacred writ
ers vouch in any way for the historical
accuracy of the facts they narrate, and
affirming that these alleged facts are
used merely as pegs on which to hang
some moral meaning The commits
sion has rejected this rather bewilder-
ing attempt to explain away the Scrip
lures; and the holy father has sane
