ALMOST ANY PRETEXT WILL SERVE. Belligerent Powoers Seem Anxious to Experiment on Man with Their Now Fighting Engines— European News. [Copyrigh'ed 1801 by James Gordon Bennelt.\ Panis, Dee, 4.—[New York Herald Cable —Special to Tue Ber|—The pivot of uropean poiitics is still the vatican. The moderate attitude of the pope in the mattor of the French hishops has attracted much attention. Count Kalnoky's remark to the Hungarian deputies that the Roman question was reopened has also not escaped notice, and since yesterday's sitting of the Italian chamber it is 1mpossible to doubt that the Roman quostion is indeed once more on the tapls. It 1s well known that the triple alliance is not in bharmony on the subject of Rome. ‘There are differences, notably between Italy and Austria, Leo XIIL, who is a great diplomat, takes advantage of these misun- derstandings to wring concessions ot form from Italy while ho makes coucessions of fact to Austria. “The papal nuncio in Paris has done his best lately to arouse M. Ribot to a sense of the temperate bearing of the pape with regard to the bishops, aud to couvince the French minister of foreign affairs that this bearing was all the more deserving of acknowledy- ment, if it was romembered that the foes of France were making advauces to the vatican, In support of this he mentioned the speech of Count Kalnoky. Tho Freuch government bas not been much affected by these appeals, It remains cold and will stick to the policy it has adopted, But there is reason to expect moro excitod action on the part of Italy, who loses her head whenever the vatican is mentioned. Thero exists in Italy a strong party which thinks the law of guarantees that was drawn up in 1870 is useless. The party would take advantage of the tirst European complication 1o tear up the laws and recapture Rome. Where France is Found. For two days past the diplomatic world has been much ocoupied by papal questions. The pope ana his adversaries move slowly, but the more steadily. It must be mentioned too that in foreign affairs France, who has been called “the cldest daughter of the church,” is compelled to side with the vatican. She cannot afford to act as if Gambetta’s famous cry, “Lo clericalisme voila l'enewie,”” could serve bayond his frontiers. The pope would err, however, if he fancied that bhe will wring any concessions from France in purely homo questions. Public opinion hero is opposed to any such thing. Any weaknoss on the part of the zovernment might lead to a sop- aration of church and state, and who could say whether the cause of religion would gain by it? There are plenty of people who pro- fess to think tnat it would solve the groat in- ternal problem. As for the external problem, that will be solved on the dayof the grand reckoning, which the pope is trying so hard to postpone. The news which reached us from Germany all tends to prove that when the reckoning does come, delays will have only made it more effectual. JAcQues St. CeRe, VICTORY FOR 1115 EARL End of England’s Most Sensational Divorce Case. Loxpoy, Dee. 4.— Dovolopments in the Rus- sell case Wednosdoy whetted uppetites of the scandal lovers of London and the court room was crowded again today. “The proceedings today wero enlivened by a tiit between counsel 1 regard to the Roverts incident. During the argument the presiding justice said he intended to get at the root of this matter. He declared it ought to have been put into definite shapo as a criminal chargo or a charge of gross fudecency. The earl's re-direct examination was re- sumed this morning. He said until the Wil- liams’ girl Incident was brought out 1 court the story of his connection with her was nor known at Teddington, where she lived, e cept by members of her family, She s still living at Teddington and no public reproach had attached to her. This closed the oarl's testimony. Shephard, the earl’s footman, testified ho never saw the countess crying. T'ne eavl hud always treated hor as a~ gentleman should treat his wifo, Sir Charles Russell theu summed up for tho defenso. He sald the case should novor havo been brought 1nto court, supported, us it was, by so many cases of grossly untrue evidenco. Sir Edward Clarke's address was charac- ter:zed by the greatemphasis he laid upon tho telling points in the ovidence for poti tioner. Ho declared, however, the evidenco submitted would havo no cffect upon the reputation of Prof. Roverts. The object of Countess Russoll in raising the action was not to obtain money. Her chief reason was sho wished to relicve berself of the obliga- tion of liviog with a man whose treatment had led to their separation. Referring to ontries in the earl's diary, Sir iidward said they wer 1n favor of the countoss, The earl admitted himself to bo in tho wronz, Sir Edward said he was glad that Larl Russell had an apportunity to deny the imputations connecting him in a disgracetul way with Prof. Roberts. 1t had been = made quito clear by the evidence of bimself and Prof. Roberts that there was no ground for the suggestion of mproper re- lations botween them. Sir Kdward main- tained Sir Charles Russell was responsiblo for bringing the story out. The countess had desired 1t not to bo mentioned. It was only whon sho wns pressed by questions put to tier by Sir Charies Russell, on Ler cross ox- amination, that sho connocted certain in- cidents with stories sbe Lad heard from members of the ear's family and wrongly construod them. Justice Bult then summed up the evidence, occupying aw hour and a quarter, Ho statod be did not agreo with Sir Charios Russell, that the suit was only instituted with the object of obtaining an allowance. Tho caso was then given to the jury, who returned a vordict in favor of Earl Russell. When the result was announced tho earl’s friends 1n the court room sprang to their feot and cheered hoartily. Countess Iussell was condomned to pay the costs of Lhe action, which are very heavy, FUN FOR THE CHINAMEN, Europeans Stoned by the Natives ir Chinese tities, Loxnoy, Doc. 4.—Thoe Dimes this moroing publishes a dispateh from Singupore, one of thoe Straits Settlements south of the Malay peninsula, statiog that the foreign consuls stationed at the proviteo of Pe-Choe-Loo, about seventy miles from Pekin, of which city it is the port, have become so alarmed at tho threatening aspecs of affuirs that they bave appliod for naval protection.

It noeds no spectal aiplomatic sagacity to poreeive the Fronch government's game. Russia has declared hor intention to hold aloof from any interference, but her Juropean ally, acting for her, aims to involve lugland in hostile treatment of tho Chinese government, with which, ere long, England may fiud it advisable to concert common ac- tion against a common enemy.

A number of college chums of the earl crowded around and congratulated him and Prof. Koberts, who, judging from the scene prosented by the exchiango of cordialities, is heid in high esteem.
