PECULIAR.
THE KAISER'S DILEMMA.
(FEB PBESS ASSOCIATION.)
London, February 27. The Times' Vienna correspondent reports that there is considerable discussion regarding the proposed arrangements intended to overcome the difficulties connected with Imperial visits to Rome, owing to the relations of the Papacy to Italian unity. The indiscreet zeal of Austro-Hungarian Liberal press in adversely criticising the alleged project to send the German Crown Princo, instead of the Kaiser, has placed the latter in an invidious position, whence he can hardly escape without weakening Germany's hold on Italian, affections.
Meanwhile, it is stated that Franz Ferdinand, the heir-presumptive of Austria-Hungary, is willing to go to Rome in the interests of the dual monarchy.
_ [The difficulty is that the Pope insists on the first official call in Rome being made upon him, as the spiritual head of the State, whilst the usual international courtesy is to make the first call on the King.]
