italy Is there or is there not an alliance between russia and prance france this is one of the que ques gons that no one seems able to answer it has been objected that a despotic empire like russia rumia cannot pursue a common policy with a republic like france but this objection is reduced to nothing when it is considered that foreign politics are dictated by a community of interests and not by forms of government the steady support which the french pram arse gives to russian interests and its readiness to adopt russian views on all questions of foreign policy testify to the probability of some unwritten arrangement between france anda russia la france says the young emperor of germany has not succeeded in bringing about the disgrace of count Ta who directs the policy of the austrian empire in a sense disagreeable to germany on the contrary axy it is the german germa 1 prince reuss who is abl obliged ge d to return to berlin the success of the russian loan in spite of all the efforts of the me german press shows that this press is not as omm omnipotent potent as it imagines itself to be this considerable event has had a at constanti constantinople where the sultan though solicited to enter the triple alliance has decided to throw himself on the side of russia and ancl france what a change has taken place in regard to the eastern question thirty years ago it was england prance france and turkey in alliance fighting the russian bear today it is russia france and turkey who are in friendly alliance while england is quietly establishing her power in the former dominions of the sultan Is germany trying tofick to pick a quarrel with england an and if so how far does she intend to push it these we are questions that are probably being considered just now by the british government it is well known that the accusation against sir robert could not be made without the bonsen bof prince bismarck and that the chancellor seldom moves without an ulterior purpose an ambassador of england at one of the chief courts in europe has been grossly insulted by the german government england pursuing her peace policy pays but little attention to it in the days of lord palmerston it would have been different As matters now stand sir robert may be left to fight it out with herbert bismarck the german chancellor has drawn england a good way into the east african alliance and he may be desirous of leading her still further the incident has had one singular effect which was not perhaps anticipated by those who created it it has served as a peg on which the russian newspapers pers hang their denunciations of german man diplo diplomacy maby these journals boldly declare that the morler incident is simply a proof of the chan ellars ell drs fondness for fishing in troubled waters and for settle setting all his neighbors by the ears when hen russia takes up the cudgels in defense of the british dor at st Peter petersburg it can only mean that she wishes to be on good terms with england and in diplomatic language to bring about a rapprochement this does not eem beem to be exactly what prince bismark wanted as one of his principal cie diplomatic schemes la is to main ta tain a permanent antagonism between russia and great britain the country in danger such was the cry which rang through france the past year and an echo of it now rings through england thirty millions are spent each year on the british army and navy yet her practical men say that great britain Is not prepared for war we have not a sufficient navy says lord charles beresford W we have not a sufficient army says lord wolseley what then has become of the thirty millions a year large additional amounts will shortly be asked for coast defense committees are asking for many millions more lord salisbury made some ominous remarks the other day he said in foreign countries coumarles ministers are am not absolutely permanent they change not and no one who has bag not the gift of prophecy can foresee into whose hands bands the power over tremendous armaments may at any time be placed 11 f this can only apply to france no other country except england changes her ministries so frequently it appears that lord salisbury is anticipating not without some un uneasiness ness the success of boulanger he fears that there may then be trouble Is the treaty of paris of 1856 quite reconcilable with glands En conquest in soudan Is egypt to become co me a british dependency Is this a reason why turkey prefers a russian to a british alliance general boulanger if he came to power might give a decided negative to some of their questions the mystery that has hitherto eu enveloped Boulanger ism lam is now slowly clearing away to use an american term the latest plank in the platform is to live in peace with the catholic church they pretend to have discovered that romanism is not the enemy but the friend of the republic this new doctrine will evidently have some weight in a country where the catholic church is still a power the latest speech of boulanger is quite a curiosity in its way it declares that under the new constitution that is to be there will be no place for competition among deputa es whether boulanger is ejected detected to represent paris or not is not important he is already a deputy and with a formidable coalition of extremists and fantastic republic can sunder the powerful influence of the catholic party r t Y is e endeavoring n leavo I 1 ng to imbue the arnd mands s 0 of As the h e F rench french with the ideas of dissolution
