Austria Must Be Ready to Support Her Policy at' the Congress. He Declarés that No European Coalition Exists at Present. But One Will Be Formed if Russia Renders It Nec- essary. Austria Has Reserved Her Entire Strength for the Present Crisis. A Romor to the Effect that Lord Lyons Is to Succeed Derby as Foreign Minister. TFive Hundred Lives Lest by the Burning of an Austrian Steamer. BY THE POWERS. A RUMOR. Loxpoy, March 9.—It is rumored in club and political circles, but it cannot be said on Thow good grounds, that Lord Lyons is likely to suc- ‘eed Lord Derby us Sceretary of State for the Foreign Departmeny in case affairs between En- gland and Russia again become threatening. 1t is eyen rezarded as not unlikely that thechange may be made before the meeting of the European Coneress, in which case England would be represented by her Foreign Minister. BISMARCE. Berras, March 0.—Bismarck’s health was 1it- tle improved Ly his recent vacation. tle worked nearly as hard as if _he had been fn Berlin, and returned in no condition for work. As soon as the Chancellor’s Substitute bill is passed, he will take snother, and, this time, 3 real, va- cation. THE AUSTRIAN CREDIT BILL. Vimssa, March 9.—A statement accomnany- ing the bill for the credit, to be submitted to the Delezations, says: “In the present position of affairs it is not impossible the Government will be_oblized to take extraordinary mneasures for the protection of the faterests of the mou- archy. In this case the Government must be in 2 condition to cover expenses, and therefore ask 60,000,000 florins. It is not proposed to expend this in completing the equipment of the army, but it is intended to afford the Government ineans to insure the monarchy sgainst denger and surprise.” ANOTHER VERSION. Viessa, March 9.—Count Andrassyin his statement accompanying the bill for credit to the Delezations says: It was quitc matural that in the arranzements made during the cam- paign political interests were driven to the back- ground by military interests. Under such cir- cumstances the interests of Europe and indi- vidual States cannot come out scatheless. Pub- lic opinion has goue from ope estreme to au- other, but at the Congress the situation nmy appear in a less disgusting aspect. Russia has repentedly declared that she drew the sword not from sellish motives, but to improve the lot of the Christians. We must demand such limita- tion of the result of the war whercby neither our nor European interests will be injured. We must provide THE BEST POSSIBLE SOLUTION, but not the mere postponementof thequestions arising out of the relations of the Powers. 1f the Russian arrangements relative to one-hall of Turkey come into force, wiat will be the prospect ot the other halff To what extent can ‘Turkey be reduced and still retain a chance of continucd existence? How guarantec the execntion of reforms? Such gigantic difliculties only Europe acting in concert can surmount. A single State sceking to settle them at its good pleasure must be in a position to RECKON WITII A EUROPEAN COALITION which, however, Count Andrassy was carcful to add, did not exist. It was not to Russiv's in- terest to make a sacrifice for things which do ot contain in themselves guarautees of stabili- ty, and to which Europe was bound to refuse recognition. Conscquently it wasa justifiable hope that the Congress would lead to an agree- ment. Austria enters the Congress to defend Austria, and Austrian and European interests. ‘Austria has reserved her whole strenzth for the moment of the conclusion of peace. She asksa money grant to safezuard her interests against auy surprise, not relying upos mere political arguments, when one Power comes fully armed on the scene. Our request s not an act of hos- tility against any Power, nor a mere idle dem- onstration, but an act of precaution.” THE PRELIMINARY TREATY. (CoNSTANTINOPLE, Maren 9.—Reouf Pashaand Gen.

ANTHONY THOLLOPE ON DIA; S, COLORED LABOR, AND KAFF] Correspondence New York Ivibune, Loxpox, Feb. 21.—Who eares for South Afri- ca, and why should Mr. Anthony Troilope write a book about it! Such, I fear, are the ques- tions most people asked themsclves on first sight!of the two red-covered - post Svo. volumes (Chapman & Hall, London) which the distin- fruished novelist and hardly less distinguished traveler has just published. It is a_country \which produces Lottentots (or once did), bad sherry, and interior diamonds. 1t has produced Kaflir wars also, and the Lanealibalele case, and every now and then offers complicated po- litieal puzzles for solution by the Enzlish Colo- nlal Oftice. It supplicd Prince Bismarck with material for u characteristic remark ov the po- litical prudery England has ately affected re- apeting the seizure of Egypt. ‘What is it that makes anuexation in North Africa so much more wicked than in South Africal” Could it bo because South Africa is so much further off ¥ o B ceause the opponeots of -annexation in hose reglons were 50 much less powerful? Mr. “Trollope tells, with (apparently) perfeet frank- Dess, the story uf the selzure of the Transvaal and the Diamond Fields. A sturdy Englishman had wwalked intothe Repnblic with five-and-twenty policemen and & TN Jack, and had talen possession cf it. Would tue inhabitants of the Republic like to ask me to take it? So much inquiry be scems to have made. Noj the peuple, by tlie voice of thelr Parliament, declined cven to cousider g0 monstrous 4 propositivn. ¢Then I shall take it without being asked,’ said Sir Theophilus. And be took it.” Jtespeciing the Dinmond Fields, Afr. Trallope remarks, with excusable severity: I cantot | myself feel altozether content with the title to a country which we have bought from a Hotten- tot for “an allowance of £1,000 a year, with 2 pension of £500 to his wife and children.” Pro- ceedings of that kind might excite the curiosity of a political or social student, as they did in Mr. Froude’s case, whose “Leaves from a South African Journal” forms oue of the most pictur- esque frazments in the literature of travel. Mr. Trollope had a simpler_ressou_for his journey. South Africa was the only important _group of English colonies_which be had not visited and written about. He wanted to_* do » that also. © Diamonds_arc the things which most pcople carc about in South Africa. Familisras the story of their discovery is, it reads hikea ro- mance at every fresh telling; and it is told here compact and lively manner. r. Mor- ton, the * Amierican gentleman who lectured on the subject before the American Geograplical Society in 1577, will, perhaps, be_surprised to Dear that oIr. Trollope throws doubt on his tale about the mission mapof 1750, with its ““Iere be Diamonds? legend. Such a map wonld be most Interesting, if it could be produced, remarks Mr. Trollope dryly. Neither does he credit Mr. Morton’s assertion that the natives bad long used diamonds for boring other stones, or that they made periodical visits to the Diamond Fields to procure supplies. Forall practical purposes the finding of the diamond in 1867 was the bezinning of the affair. That first stone was sold, after many doubts as to its genuine- ness, for §2,500. The man who fouud it bought uother next vear from # Kaflir witch-doctor, riving all his flocks and herds for it, and sold 000. This was the famous Star , and from this time on diamond i hegan us a business in (iriqua land. 72 it was a settled fndustry. “fhe Star of E g 1 weizhid eighty-thiree carats, soon paled its fire before another, found tiwo years later, which weiek than 235 carats. Terhaps the most interesting statcraent about the digging is the fact that the Kaflir employed ‘in that bus earns more. thau the average rural laborer in Enmiand. **Over aud beyond his board and lodging he carries away with him every Satur i $2.50) a week in hard moncy, wit! amuse himself oveurs this passage Lrother: e stranger in South Africa will constantly be told that the colored man will not work. aud that this is the ove insuperable cause by which the prozressof the couutry is impeded. It willbe the first word whispered into his ear shcw he arrives, and the last assurauce hurled After bim as hic leaves the coast. And yet dur- ine his whol sojourn in the country he will sec all the work of the world around him done by the hands of the colored people.” Might not Mr. Trollope be writing of the Soutiiern States in_Ameriea? Or is the notion That the negro will not work less prevaleut there thay it was? He continue: < {t will be s0in Capetows, vay from the Kaffirs. It wiil be so on the homesteads of the Duteh in the Western Province. It will be soin the 1l commercial towns of the Eastern P Yrom one end of Natul to the otoer if it so pleases him.” Elsewhere respecting the colored he will ting that all the work is done by Zulus. It will be the same in_the Traus: and_the came cven i the Orange Free State. Even there, whenever work is doue for wazes, it is done by colored hunds. When he_wets to the Diamond Fields he will find the mines swarmine with labor. And yeo he willbe told that 1he * nigger? will not work.” It apyicars, however, that the character of the ative Goes not stand quite so hizh 1o other re- spocts. The nezro-bater, if suéh there still be 1 the Crited St will rejoice to know that the Kaflir 1s a thief. Mr. Trollope speaks with due cantion useo the houesty of the white man in South Atrica, * but such as it is, it bas to be used at every point to prevent, so far as it may be preveuted, the systematical stealing in which the Kaflirs take an individual ana nation- al pride.’ “The Kaflirs are not only most willing but most astute toieves, feeling a glory in their i ud thinking that every stone stolen from awhite man is a duty done to their chicf aud toeir tribe. I think 1t may be taken as certain that no Kaflir would feel the slizhtest panz ot conscience at stealing a diamond, or. that any @iswra ould be held to attach to him amony other for. such a performance. They come to the flelds instructed by their chiefs to stenl diamonds, and they obey -orders like loyal subjects.” . Not to go further into the diamond basiness, Jet ine add only that in 1876 the compated value of the stones sent_away from the Kimberley mine was early $10,000,000, and it seems that some of Lhese stones, spite of the bad repute of Cape diamouds, are colorless, aud in most or all respects equal to thoseof Brazil.
