An Alliance Between Vitae Countries
Not at All Probable.
The recent visit of the Relive naval
squadron to Woolen and the attend-
ant ceremonies recall the visit of the
Russian fleet to the same eity several
years ago. On that occasion the inn
pulsive Frenchman embraced Russian
sailors be the streets, and the Frenah
preas went wild. over the alliance with
Russia. There have been predictions
that the later naval demonatration
would have political bonsequences sim-
ilar to the earlier, and that Italy
would help to form a new Triple Alli-
ance by becoming a party to the al-
liance between France and Russia.
Ef0 such result is probable. It is
true that there ia dissatisfaction in
Italy with the present Triple Allianee
or Dreibund, in which Germany and
Austria are partners with Italy. Tbe

Affairs beeore be resumed the respon-

that it cost Italy much more than
it was worth. Moreover, there are
close eympathies of temperament be-
tween the French and Italians. Half
O oenteny ago they were on terms of
enthusiastie friendship.' But many
things have happened in this interval
and for twenty years Italy has been
associated with Germany, -the tradi-
tional enemy of France, -and with
Anatria-Hiengary, in the alliance
which was one of the mowning ac-
hievements of Prinoe Bismarck's
adroit diplomeent 'Obey have not been
altogethee prosperous years for
Italy, but the blame for that does
not rest with the alliance. It is to
be aecribed rather to the heavy debt
which Italy accumulated during her
unification, and to meetly colonial ad-
ventures.
The Triple Alltance runa by tea -year
periods, and the present period does
not expire until 1003. The German
Chancellor tea recently deolared that
the Triple Alliance 'was never more
