They did not even hold a meeting to-day, as Reed thought they would. They will probably dally along in tho same unfruitful way until Reed gets back next week, and probably stirs them up to an agreement. The contention in the conference is not over free coinage and full legal ten der certificates, as proposed in the Senate amendments. Theso Senate amendments were only meant for a bluff and bun combe by the Senate republicans. The republican senators who had voted for the Senate amendments came over to tho House afterwards and exhorted the re publicans from their own states to vote against them.

Associated Tress Berlin, July 5.—There ore growing signs of an impending storm in tho Bal kans. Tho situation is so grave that tho holiday vacations of tho leading officials of tho foreign office hero havo been stopped. Her von Radowitz, German ntnbass idor at Constantinople, who was about to start for Kissongen, has been directed to remain at bis post. Sir W. A. White, British ambassador to the Porte, who was just beginuing at Gar- tein a furlough to last several months, hurried back to Constantinople after having a long interview with tho Em peror of Austria. The czar has also coun termanded tho furlough ot M. Nelidorff, Russian ambassador. GERMANY'S CIUKOE OF TACTICS. A momentous change appears to have occurred iu tlie German policy regarding tho Balkans, Jmtrad of pursuing tho sem 1-neutral diplomacy of Prince Bis marck, tlio omperor has directed Herr Radowitz to take the initiative in advis ing the Porte how to meet tl>* contend ing claims of Bulgaria and Russia. In structed through Chancellor Von Caprivi, Herr Radowitz has nromisod tlio Porte an early solution of tho Bulgarian trouble in harmony with tho Berlin treaty and <i<so lltmi endeavor w ill bo made to meet the Russian war indemity. TUB EMPEROR'S SOLUTION. Tlie emperor's schema of settlement, according to accepted reports in diplo matic circles, involves tho displacing of Trinco Ferdinand and the substitution of Prince Karl of Sweden as tho ruler of Bulgaria, and also the arrangement of tho Russian indemnity by capitalizing tho amount through tho international council ot administration which now controls the Turkish loans. The schemo seems to havo received an impetus from Emperor William’s conferences with Prince Oscar at Christiana. Though financial proposals have not been formally communicated to Ruuin, it is already reported that M. do Glen, Russian prime minister, has re- Celvid an intimation of their nature, and has intimated that they were not satis factory to Rjssia, ho stating that Russia did not want to be concerned in rear ranging the Turkish debt, and preferred to hold the Porte directly to its engage ment. llis response means that Russia will not lot go Her grip on Turkey's neck givsii by th* war debt. AN EXPLOSION’ IM3II.VE.VE. A general explosion in the Balkan may occur before the power* have timo to consider Emperor William’s pro{>ooala.

Despite the opposition in tho English parliament,the Anglo-German agreement relating to tho African territory is con sidered hero to be absolutely safe. L’ount von Hatzfeldt, the German cm- bassadur at London, has the assuranco of Lord Salisbury that the government is causing ita supporters to know that it will stand or fall by tlie compact and has secured a normal majority.

During tbe closing debate it was distinctly avowed that the duty on corn was to tie considered only a continuation of tho prohibition of American pork. Comto Foucker de Careil declared that tho importation of American pork was only another mode of importing Ameri can corn, and French farmers could not maintain themselves against it. Tho prohibition of pork waa right and ought to be maintained, and the duty on corn should also bo mado prohibitive. M.

He declared that this was merely Other members replied that it was right and that the prohibition ought to be maintained.
