The Diplomatic Chess Board
NEW YORK, December 12th.-A Herald Berlin
special says: l am able to confirm the dispatch
about the Crown Princes journey to Rome. Kaiser
Wilhelm has long been weary of internal dssensions,
and stated emphaticaly yesterday that he wishes to
have domestic peace restored to the empire before
he dies. 1t is probable that the Papal Nuncio at
Madrid also made overtures from the Vatican side
when the Crown Prince visited him there II is
more than likely that Bismarck himself has been
surprised This is apparently proved by his unex-
pectedy calling Minister Won GOsser to Fredericks-
ruhe yesterday. In Genoa the Crown Prince will be
met by Won Schoser, German Embassador to the
Vatican. The Prince will live in the Quiriua At
this his Holiness will not take oense, and promi-
nent patricians here quite nonpussed, and
Windthorst most of all. Russ, German ambassador
in Vienna, went to visit Bismarck at Fredericksruhe
and to-day the French ambassador here goes to
Fredericksruhe to visit the Chancellor, Naturally
there are many conjectures regarding the object Of
both visits.
