PROSPECTS OF ANOTHER WAR.
CoRREspoNpENT-It has been rumored that there
is prospect of another European war; and 1t
would relieve much anxiety If Your Majesty should
express an opinion TO the contrary
EMrERoR-I have heard nothing which could
lead me to the belief that war is probable. do
not understand how II could happen at present.

ties might arse between France and Italy and

EAPERoR-I am not aware Of anything at this
moment which could result in European war.
THE EASTERN QUESTION
CoRREsroNpENr-The Eastern question is again
arousing considerable attention, and the recent
events in Central Asia have been much discussed.
EMPERoR-The mission OF Russia in Central Asia
is one OF civilization We have no desire for con-
quest and have repeatedly neglected and refused
opportunities OF anneXing territory.
CoRREsPoNDENT-The condition OF Turkey Is not
looked upon as satisfactory.
EMPERoR-Many reforms have recently been
made in the Ottoman Empire, and more are pro-
Jected. / no reason to apprenend troubles IN
the East. Russia IS in friendly relations with all
countries.
RAILWAY ENTERPRISE

ate Importance to the Russian Empire often

OF the means OF communication engage great

Here closed the interview Of your special cor
respondent with the Emperor OF Russia in so lar
as the right OF publication is concerned, and may
add, for my own part, that 1T is quite clear the
Emperor cannot be engaged for the moment, in
any deep political design, for he passes his entire
day and evening in public. living, so to say in the
streets except during the few hours necessary for
! him to take rest and !ood. Indeed he is obliged to
! DO So in strict accordance with the advice of his
physicians and the imperative demands Of nature
because the Ems waters, innocent as they seem,
get into the head and produce such an absolute
incapacity for mental exertlon that some pro-
fessors from German universities who are here,
engaged in the compilation OF books upon Greek
particles, are quite in despair at their enforced
1dleness.
KAISER WILHELM AT EMS
lam not at all so sure about the proceedings OF
William the Conqueror. Ever since his arrival at
Ems vassal kings and minor potentates nave
been coming over to pay him homage. The King
OF Saxony indeed avoided discussion to the
further annhilation OF bis klngship and his king
dom by going promptly away as soon as the advent
of his superior Sovereign was ann ounced not feel
ing. perhaps, equal to an argument with the re-
spectacle monarch who is supplied with such keel
lent reasons for appropriating his neighbors pos
sessions. But there were whole host OF otner
magnates eager to show their fealty. The King Of
Holland came to II Belgium could be got back
or whether he could do a stroke Of business on his
own account, for Kaiser Wilhelm keeps his piighted
word and promise to respect the independence
! of the Dutch would be worth having in case OF
/ European complications. I remarked, however,
that between the Kaiser and the Czar there was
some apparent coolness alter their first public
meeting as though the latter had not been ready
enough to enter into plans prepared for his con-
slderation. / should think that more absolutely
honest man than the present Emperor OF Germany
never sat upon a throne, but he gave me the idea
OF being perpexed Dy too much counsel. He is
now, however, in very robust health, and is as
active as though he were twenty years younger.
Ems seems a famous place for invalid sovereigns,
and the Car says that he only complains Of two
things-'keen appetite and sound Sleep"
There is to be a meeting OF the Russian imperial
family at Ingenheim, and what is, in fact, pri.
vate party has been magnided into a 'Congress;"
but am credioy informed that only family affairs
would be discussed at this assembiy-such as mar
riage portions, settlements and the appanages of
the princes and prlncesses OF the imperial house
that the public is in no sense concerned with it,
