LATEST INTELLIGENCE A LA MODE.
THE TRIPLE ALLIANCE.
Vienna, Sept. 9.
The disquieting rumours set on foot here by the reoent article in
the Fremdenllatt have, to judgefrom the reply furnished in to-day's
Cologne Gazette, no foundation iu fact. It is pointed out that so far
from any hostile attitude towards the English Cabinet having been
assumed at Kremsier, a distinctly complimentary message was dic-
tated by the Czar himself, and forwarded, in the very middle of the
State dinner, to Lord Salisbttby. _ The precise nature of the terms of
this communication has not transpired, but it maybe safely hazarded
that it referred mainly to the character of the menu, -which was con-
sidered excellent, and that it was skilfully interlarded with inquiries
aa to his Lordship's appetite and health. The Cologne journal more-
over again asserts, what has been patent to all politicians here from
the first, namely, that the recent meeting was in reality organised and
carried out by the intrigues of several military tailors who have high
authority and influence in Court circles at this capital. Similar
assurances are given from Berlin. Commenting on the situation, the
National Zeitung remarks that the interchange of military uniforms
may be regarded as the chief outcome of the meeting, and that the
fact that the Czab gave an extensive order for several hussar suits
on the spot, showed the genuine and spontaneous nature of the
Proceedings.
SIR H. D. WOLFE'S MISSION.
Constantinople, Sept. 8.
Affairs here continue to be much in the same condition. His
Majesty, who has now on several occasions seen the British Envoy, is
still loud in his praise, and on the last occasion but two rose and
shook hands with him. Meanwhile Sir H. D. "Wolff is becom-
ing acquainted with the bock staircases of several of the leading
Ministers, and has expressed himself as hopeful of being able, with
the aid of an efficient interpreter, to make the nature of his proposals
intelligible to Said Pasha. The slight hitch in the negotiations, to
which reference has already been, made, still continues, butthe belief
here, in well-informed oiroles, is that it will not necessarily be
permanent.
Later.
No material change has occurred in the condition of affairs. Sir
h. D.SWolff has, to-day, however,_ been' closeted with Assym
Pasha for several hours, and has, it is understood, intimated that
he will call again to-morrow.
Vabna. Sept. 9.
Advices from Constantinople announce^ that Sir H. 1). "Wolff's
mission is for the present confined to a series of interviews with the
Dragoman of the British Embassy. There is no other news.
THE PHARMACEUTICAL CONGRESS.
Brttxelles, Sept. 6.
The sub-sectional meetings of the Congress were continued this
afternoon, and consistently with the spirit of far-reaching and
enlarged philanthropy that has inspired their labours, resolutions
were unanimously adopted to the effect that an international under-
standing should be arrived at not only for the guaranteed potability
of non-alcoholic beverages, and advertised mineral waters, but that
butchers' meat, vegetables, arid bread and cheese should also be
included in the corpus of the new Universal Pharmacopoeia. The
qualifications needed, as a minimum of preparatory study, were
discussed at some length, and it was finally agreed that a know-
ledge of advanced trigonometry, calisthenics, not less than three
foreign languages, history, biography, zoology, and a full acquaint-
ance with all the applied sciences, should be regarded as necessary
to the taking the new degree of " Doctor of Pharmacy." Perfect
unanimity prevailed, though some eclat and liveliness was added to
the complimentary.fetes held in the evening, owing to the expulsion
of the proprietor of a well-known English popular patent medicine,
who had attended the Congress apparently through a total miscon-
ception of its liberal aim and objects.
THE CAROLINE ISLANDS.
Berlin. Sept. 10.
The laneuid excitement over the seizure of the Islands shows no
signs of beiDg stirred into activity, it being fully understood that
Prince BrsMARCK does not intend to force the hand of tho Spanish
Government. It seems, too, the Chancellor is much incensed with the
Geographical Department for having misled him in the affair, and the
appearance of a new map of " Colonial Germany " will probably be
the result of the mistaken ambition that assigned the debatable
territory to its new but unwilling masters.
The report that Canovas del Castillo has, at the command of
King Alphonso, forwarded the latter's Uhlan uniform to the
German Emperor, together with a dignified letter of remonstrance,
though looked on here as a probable canard, launched in the interests
of the Franco-Spanish Radical party, nevertheless gains credence in
circles that should be well informed. If this should unfortunately
turn out to he the case, it will only add a further proof of the
deplorable want of tact and discretion that on all hands is admitted
to have marked the conduct of this affair from beginning to end.

"War seems now certain, on acoount of the recent excesses in

A "Burning Question" Indeed.
The criminal fools who carelessly throw unextinguished fusees
about, are perhaps even more mischievous than the criminal fools
who do the same with orange-peel. A shocking accident seems to
have occurred to a Lady at the Inventions Exhibition owing to the
action of one of the former class of pestilent idiots. Anyone wilfully
dropping a lighted fusee or vesta without thought of the place or the
possible consequences, ought to be dealt with as a sort of minor
dynamitard—a public danger to he summarily punished wherever
caught.
"Miss Andebson my Jo!"—
The talented American actress,
recently playing at the Lyceum,
1 ast week appeared in As You Like
It, before several representatives
of the London Press, at Stratford-
upon-Avon. Seemingly the per-
formance was crude and, on the
whole, unsatisfactory. Bat what
enterprise on the part of the
London Press to send some of its
representatives! Going all that
way, and in some cases telegraph-
ing their notices to their offices!
How expensive it all must have
been to somebody!
