The Gar and Emperor william.
BERLIN, November 6th.-What may prove
to be sn embarrassing, if not serious rupture
between the Imperial Courts of Berlin and
st. Petersburg has just been announced.
The Grand Duke Vladimir, eldest brother of
the Gear, has arranged to make State visit
to Emperor William at Berlin. It is under
stood that there was q good deal of difficulty
in bringing about the visit. When the Gar
was recently the guest of the King of Den
mark and attracted the attention of all
Europe by the length of his stay at Copen-
hagen, and the character of the visitors he
received, Germany attempted to arrange
meeting between the Gear and Emperor
William. This event was expected TO coun-
teract the rumors that the principal business
of the Czar and Gladstone at Copenhagen
was the modification of the anti German al
lance. The Emperor of Russia accepted
the Emperor of Germany's invitation to meet
him, and this acceptance was widely heralded
IS in Germany's interest, but when, in re-
sponse to Alexsnders inquiry as to the place
of conference, William named Kiel in Hol.
stein, the loss of which remains this day one
of Deumark's most bitter grievances, the
Czsr promptly declined q conference.
Here the affair appeared to terminate,
but it soon leaked out that the Gar con-
sidered the naming of Kiel not only as an
insult to his host and relative, the King
of Denmark, but an affront to himself, mas
much as conference there at that time and
under the circumstances would have en-
trapped Russia into sn apparent Endorsement
of the partition. The Incident produced q
disagreeable GOODNESS between Germany and
Russis, which Berlin statesmen have ever
since been attempting to remove. The Gar
fually arranged to have his brother Vlsdi-
mir pay a royal visit to Germany, and this
event was largely heralded yesterday. How
ever, it is announced that Duke Vladimir
has postponed his engagement with the Ger
man Emperor. The explanation offered is
that Russia prefers to avoid the misapDre-
hension which might be produced by the SIM
ultaneous presence in Berlin of the Grand
Duke Vladimir and the Austrian Prince I'm
perial Rudolph, both as guests of the Ger
man Emperor. 1t is said that the Gar,
when he arranged the Vladimir visit, had no
idea that his brother would meet the Austrian
Prince Rudolph. 1t is reported Russia is
greatly irritated at the effusiveness of the re-
ception accorded by the German Court to the
Archduke upon his arrival in Berlin Sunday,
and there is a suspicion at the Russian Court
that Germany intended to make use of this
dual visit to influence public opinion as to the
relations between Germany and Russia.
Threatening Letters to the Governor
General.
OTTAWA, November 6th.-Since taking up
his residence at Rideau Hall the Marquis of
Lsnsdowne has received q number of
anonymous letters, threatening his life. The
matter is being investigated, though his Ex-
cellency is not greatly alarmed. 1t is be-
lieved the letters are sent by mischievous per-
sons anxious to annoy him, or possibly by
some who are anxious to obtain employment
as extra detectives. It will be remembered
that the Marquis of Lorne received q num-
Der OF threatening letters last winter.
