NEWS OF THE WORLD.

Roux, May 4th.

The commercial treaty between Germany and Austria-Hungary has become the topic of comment by the press generally. In its ulterior consequences it bids fair to become a matter of the greatest concern to the people of the United | States. It is announced that Germany and Austila-Hungary bave invited Italy, Switzerland and Belgium to join in a convention in Vienna for the avowed purpose of forming a coalition of Central European states against protectionist countries. But how states whose customs tarifs are so uniform for the purpose of protecting their Interests as are those of Germany, Austro- Hungary and Italy can give out as the reason for proposed coalition the protectionism of other countries, is a puzzle to those who have studied

the situation.

It is not yet known that Italy has consented to join the convention at Vienna, If she should, ft would seem that the politicalties of the Triplé Alliance are stronger than her commercial Decessities, for among her friends, commercially considered, are France and the United States, Italy's exports to Austria and Germany have, fallen from 197,000,000 francs in 1885 to 181,000,000 francs In 1889. In the latter year France bought of Italy 154,000 005. In 1890 the United States bought 130,000,000.

It has been deelded, from motives of economy, that Italy will not take an official part in the Chicago exposition, to which the Americans should take no exception, as Italy took no official part the French exposition of 1989.

BERLIN, May 4th. The work of Isolating France commercially has been commenced by the German-Austrian Commercial Treaty, which has just been sized, and which for the last twelve years has been progressing in a manner satisfactory to the originators of the scheme. It has already been announced that Germany has opened negotia tions with Russia with the view of arranging for co-operation in a projected commercial union. To confer with Russia, it was added, at first appeared Improbable, bat under the German-Austrian treaty provision is made for treating with other Powers reciprocally, and both countries are able to offer Russia-the benefits of a differential tariff,,

THE HONGKONG TELEGRAPH, THURSDAY, JUNE 4, 1891.

This emphatic language in regard to the treaty with Austria, which Biemark opposes, and also in regard to home affairs, was evidently directed at Prince Bismarck.

LONDON, May 5th.

A terrible affair is reported from Southport, a watering-place on the Irish Sea, near Preston. Mr. Sawyer, a landlord, was attacked by an Italian named Cammino. The arsault was sudden and apparently unprovoked. The Italian used a knife. Sawyer was unaimed but defended himself the best he could with a chair, which was soon smashed in the struggle. He wAS succumbing under the strokes of his assailant when his wife and daughter rushed upon the scene and tried to rescue him. Cummino drew his revolver and fired upon all three following up the shots with his knife, and then fled. The wife and daughter are dying. Sawyer cannot recover. The assassin has been captured.

The Rame correspondent of the Chronicle says: It is reported that Minister Forter will shortly vacate the United States Legation here, leaving the Secretary in charge.

PARIS, May sth.

The debate in the Chamber of Deputies

yesterday upon the Fourmies riors has consider- ably embittered the strikers, who have now in creased their demands for higher wages. Renewed scenes of disorder are feared, and are probable in the near future should the demands of the strikers be refused.

Workingmen's delegates called to-day upan the Prefect at Fourmies and made a request that in view of the peaceful attitude of the inbabitants of Fourmies since-Labor Day,-and-in order to avoid the possibility of farther trouble, the regi ment of infantry which fired upon the populace on May Day should be removed to some other part of France. The Prefect acceded to the req 'ent, anying he would recommend the Govern ment to and the obnoxious regiment to some other part of France,

Emile Zolá censures the Government for causing the Fourmies diaster. He says that by its bombastic announcing of armed preparations as if revolution were imminent the minds of the workmen were inflamed and the affair assumed great importance in the eyes of its organizers. if the meetings had been allowed to be held as in England nothing would have happened. The Government's action will rankle in the hearts of the people and cause hatred of the employers, and the pilgrimages made to the tombs of the victims will rekindle smoldering hale.

The Minister of the Interior has allotted a sum of money for the relief of the families of those killed or wounded by the troops at the time of the riots of May Day at Fourmies.

LATE TELEGRAMS,

CAIRO, May 12th. Riaz Pasha, President of the Council of Miais. ters, has resigned owing to ill-health.

MADRID, May 12th. The municipal elections Just completed throughout Spain show a remarkable growth in strength of the Republican party.

LONDON, May 14th Mustapha Fehmi Pasba, Minister for War and the Navy, has been appointed Egyptian Premier in place of Rias Pasha, whose retirement on account of ill-health, was announced a day or two ago. The Ministry has been entirely recon. structed, with the exception of the office of Minister of Justice, which is retained by Fakhri Pasks.

The Timer commenting on the changes in the Egyptian Ministry regards the retention of the portfolio of the Minister of Justice by Fakhri Pasha as a proof that he will cordially co-operate with Justice Scott.

Par. 19 leaves all the military details in the hands of the officer commanding.

OUR MILITARY CONTRIBUTION, In the House of Commons on the 27th April, in the course of the discussion on the Budget proposal Sir R. Fowler said he wished to draw the attention of the Committee to the fact that his right hon. friend the Chancellor of the Exchequer had proposed, and he thought unjustly proposed, to throw a very heavy annual burden indeed on the Straits Settlements -namely, no less an amount in future than 100,000. Now, the Crown Colonies were not in the position of self-governing colonice like Australia and Canada they had no rep resentative institutions, and therefore depended for their ruling and for justice, to a large extent, on the bame Government, (Hear, hear.) Singapore was regarded as a very important naval station-a coaling station. It had been thought advisable by the Government to expend a large sum in fortifying the position, and he contended that, as the work was for Imperial purposes, the cost should be borne by Imperial, and not by local finance. (Hear, bear) In Hongkong the expenditure of the Government was £100,000 a year; at present the colony provided £20,000 a year, but in futura oras of the State Settlements, or at the translation the most approved and most efficacious
