Up to few days ago the interview
between the two emperors, which for
some years has been an annual occur
renee, excited little interest. It was
thought that the situation In the East
would, OF course. be discussed but as
neither Count Andrassy nor Prince Bis.
marck were to accompany their re-
speetive soverelgns, and 1t being known
that no very cordial feeling exists be-
tween the two monarohs themselves,
the whole. affnir was regarded rs u dues-
ton or etiquette.
/ have very good reason to believe that
1t will be something more than o mere
formal greeting OF one Emperor to
another. Within the last few days u
question has arisen which was generally
believed TO have been disposed OF long
ago. AS ] informed you last night, one
OF the Austrian military attaches from
the headquarters of the Gar is endeav-
oTing TO obtain leave for "a Russian force
TO pass through Servian territory. An
important body of troops might then be
dispatched over the Iinok valley
toward Nsoha and Sonh. This matter
will form ono Of the principal topics OF
| conversation between the two Emperors.
There Is no doubt that the Austrian
government had but a short time ago
made up it's mind that the Russian army
should not be allowed to pass through
Servia; and. from Information / then
communicated. you will have seen that
II was the main condition put forward
by Austria for her own neutrality. But
tie situation has changed" "-say those
who from the beginning urged che eu1-
sr.,.
alliance danger Of Austria should
Seryia become the scat Of hostilities, ii
diminished now that tho Russians are
In presence Of victorious army" and,
with this insidious argument. they are
exatting themselves TO obtain permits
sion for Russia To do as she pleasea.
Tho chances arc that Ii the Russian
troops are allowed to pngs through
Servia they will be joined by such forces
aH Prince Milan can place ut the Czar's
disposal and although Count Andrassy
received full permission to monopolize
four divisions In order TO strengthen
the Austrian corps Of observation on
the southern Slav. frontier, there Is,
nevertheless, TO doubt whether ServiA
will be opposed in her intention or re-
commencing hostilitics. Ii is further
surmised in diplomatic circles here that
for tho tlrst time the German Emperor
is about to point out 10 kaiser Franz
Joseph the advantages within grasp
II the German confederation EN-.
braced the German portion OF Bo-
homia, whilst the empire Of Austria
extended over Servia and Bosnia. II ~
no longer q secret that, In view OF u
possible struggle between the German
aud the Slav race, Prince Bismarck
Wishes TO see u division OF the family
into Russia and Austrian. With con
tiicting interests the eighty millions of
Slavs would then be less formidable.
Moreover, the German Chancellor IL
anxious to SEQ the whole strength Of
Russia In action, and calculates that in
the end the Turks must needs be con
auered and the Eastern question tiually
solved. But this effort will cost Russia
her llfe's blood. and she will be in no
position to aid France in case Of future
complications.
Apartments have been retained for
Kaiser William at the hotel Erzherz1g
Karl, in Salzburg. In the course Of the
day the two Emperors will go for a
steamboat excursion to one Of the
picturesque sites Of the surrounding
neighborhood.
