It is re ported that Prince Bismarck lias advised Count SchoiivalolT to urge the Russian government to refrain from officially presenting them to Austria, on the 'ground that they would certainly meet with peremp tory rejection without discussion. KALNOKY PREDICTS WAR. Count Kulnoky, in conversation at the parliamentary reception last Wednesday, compared the position! of European statesmen towards peace j to that of doctors watching at the J bedside of a dying man. “Our duty,” he said, “is to en ploy every means in j oar power to prolong its days, and ! even although we are certain that out | efforts will be futile, we must endeav or to postpone tiie moment when .it will.breathe fts. last.” These words are a faithful reflection of official conviction in Berlin. The military preparations of Austria and Germany now approach a condi tion of readiness. These governments can abide by events,accepting Russia’s signal for war, or waiting for an op portune moment for attack. As an adjuncP.to th e treaty of al liance, a plan has b$eii' agreed upon for the co-operation of the allied forces. When the campaign opens there will be three armies in the field. One, consisting of tlie first, or East Pru-sian corps, the fourth or We»t Prussian corps, the fifth or Posen corps, and the sixth or Silesian corps, will be under command A Prince fjliiam. rysp crarcr ZUTT „ .

The success of the Joan is assured, although the hulk of German inves tors are hardly satisfied with this interest. Papers renew their attack on Russian stocks, advising the pub- Hc to sell and Invest in the imperial loan instead. The* public, however, clings to Russian securities yielding 5 per cetd., preferring future risk of depreciation to present selling at a heavy loss. The division of the Reichstag last evening on the final passage of the anti-Soeialist bill disclosed a com bination of the Centrists, Progressists and Socialists against a continuance of the repression of the Socialists. The debate, which lasted six hours, was characterized by much ^hcmeuce of language. .The government ac- jpepted the JSpdifled maaaure with protesting to the last for the Jecessuy ago, on a visit to Charleston, he' called at flie Budget office, and in* conversation with a reporter said: “Tho'hest way to prevent any more serious street fights or Hay us worth tragedies, is to abolish that miserable anti-due.ling law.
