VIENNA. Oct. 27.-The newspapers say
that Kaiser Wilhelm after few days
shooting early in November will pay a
visit to the Kaiser Franz Josef at Vienna.
BERLIN, Oct 27.-It Is announced at
the Foreign Office to-day that during his
recent conversations with Foreign Min
ister Won Sohon and Chanoellor Won
Bulow Baron Isvolsky. the Russian
Foreign Minister. submitted two chief
proposals. as basis for the European
conference One was that compensation
should be madefo Servie and Montenegro
for the injury to their interests done by
Austria's annexation Of Bosnia and Her
zegovina and the other, was that that
annexation should be a subject for con-
sideration by the conference.
Prince Won Bnlow, on the part OF Ger
many, agreed to the first proposal, pro-
vided that the compensation to Servia
was not territorial or at the expense Of
Austria or Turkey. As to the second. he
sided with Austria in demanding that the
annexation should not be subject OF dis
ccssion at the conference, but only OF
ratification.
With these reservations Germany had
no objection to the conference 1t s
added that the prospects Of conference
have been decidedly improved as a result
Of Isvolsky's visit.
BELGRADE, Oct. 27.--Austria's seizures
or detention Of Servian war material
have led the Government TO protest
strongly and threaten to withdraw its
custom from Austrian arms factories.
The complaint specially deals with Aus
tria's refusal to allow the Steyr rife fac
tory in upper Austria to- deliver 10000
rifles ordered some time ago. 1t is stated
that the Hungarian Government has
confiscated at Semlin 10000 rifles and
10, 900 revolvers consigned to Belgrade,
ST. PETERSBURG, Oct. 27.-The Gov
ernment, apparently fearing complica-
tions with Austria, has decided TO check
the manifestations Of sympathy with the
Balkan Slavs Premier Stolypin asked
the Servian colony to-day, through the
Servian Legation, kindly to refrain from
giving a demonstrative welcome to
Grown Prince George Of Servia when he
arrives here tomorrow, and police were
sent tonight to close a meeting held to
express sympathy with the southern
Slavs
In accordance with the law the Gov
ernment had been notified OF the meet
ing and had sanctioned it. Consequently
there was great surprise when the police
arrived and ordered it to disperse There
was a large audience. including Nj.
Homyakon President OF the Duma,
several members Of that body and the
Servian and Montenegrin delegates now
here.
Prof. Pogodin had nearly finished a
lecture setting forth the situation when
the law intervened and forbade the in
tended discussion. The members Of the
Duma present we're very indignant and
will raise the question in the House.
SOFIA, Oct. 2T.-Great Britain, France
and Russia have presented to the Govern
rnent an identical note advising Bulgaria
to send an envoy to Constantinople to
arrange for the payment OF equitable
compensation to Turkey for her loss
Of the Rumelan tribute. The note also
asks Bulgaria, at Turkeys request, to
refrain from military mobilization.
Germany and Italy have notified the
Government that they approve Of the
foregoing 1t Is believed that Bulgaria
will comply.
PARIS, Oct. 27.-French banking houses
have made proposals to Gar Ferdinand
of Bulgaria and the Commission ers Of
the Ottoman Debt by which the latter
will receive satisfaction for the Rumelian
tribute without the necessity Of Bulgaria
raising a loan. These fnanciers n
cnde the firm which administers the
great private fortune which Gar Ferdi-
nand inherited from his mother. Princess
Clementine.
The proposals will be submitted to
Charles Laurent. President Of the French
National Audit Department. to whom an
indefinite leave Of absence was granted
two months ago. when the reformed
Turkish Government invited him TO un-
dertake the reorganization Of the Otto
man finances.
1t Is expected here that the Bulgarian
Cabinet will oppose any financial ar
rangement with Turkey, but that Gar
Ferdinand will prefer that the Ministry
resign rather than have friendly settle
ment obstructed. Friends Of Czar Ferdi-
nand in Paris confirm the report that he
is now willing TO pay visit OF courtesy to
the Sultan.
The Belgrade correspondent OF the
.Matin tsegraphs that King Peter OF
Servia and Prince Nicholas Of Montenegro
have signed a military convention pro-
viding for joint action in the event OF
war with Austria
SALowIcA. Turkey, Oct. .7-lt Is re-
ported here that the Servian authorities
have stopped train from Vienna near the
Austro-Servian frontier. and declined to
allow 1t to proceed through Servian ter
ritory. This 10 regarded as Servia's
answ er to Austrias recent seizure of a
largo quantity Of shell fuses while they
were on their way down the Danube from
Bavaria bound for Servian port
CoNsTAST1HoPLE, Oct. T.-Lest the
threatened reactiopary troubles should
materialize with the change from the
religious restrictions Of the Ramadan
fast TO the comparative license Of the
Bairam festival the Government made
big display Of military force to-day.
The newly arrived regiments brought
