MEETINc OF EMPERoRs.
What They will Talk About and Ho'
Guard Against Anarchists.

LONDON, Aug 24.-Within the next few
days the whole political life of Europe will
be concentrated in the little town of Krem-
ser, in Morayia. The Car and the CZarina,
the Emperor of Austria and the Empress
Elizabeth meet there From the fact that
the crown prince of Austria will also be
present at the meeting, the deduction is made
in high political circles that arrangements
will be concluded in Kremsier of a far-reach-
ing nature. Hitherto Crown Prince Ru-
dolph has been sent only on political mis-
sonS which have a fundamental importance
for the future AS regards details of the in
tervieW, the strictest secrecy has naturally
been observed, but there is not the least
doubt that among the questions Of pre-emi-
nent importance to be discussed will be the
Oriental one This will embrace the Euro
pean Oriental question which is of para
mount Importance to Austria and the Asiatic
Oriental question, which touches the most
vital interests OF Russia. In Well-lnformed
political circles it is rumored that the Krem-
Sier interview may be of serious significance
as regards Great Rritain's rule in Asia. Be
side this, the Kremsier meeting will, it is
said, have important results as regards the
internal politics of Austria and of Russia
These results are looked at with some
amount of fear in Vienna, which sees the
small amount of political freedom left to
Austria much endangered through the alli-
ance Of the three Emperors. In Kremsier
already there is kind of general rehearsal
of the regime of the police. A veritable pol
izeistaat has been established there The
little place is filled with police. The pick Of
the police masters from all three empires
have been summoned there with small
army of surbordinates. Hundreds of police
have been detailed to guard the Gar and
CZarina. Especial precautions have been
taken to guard the gates of the Schloss Park,
which is already surrounded by Gordon of
police guards. All strangers are rigidly eX-
anined to see if they possess suspicious arti-
cles. So far, the united police force of the
three empires has succeeded in arresting one
individual, and he turned out to be a
wretched policeman of OlmutZ who wanted
to reinforce the international force, and was
arrested by his own colleagues. Precautions
on still grander scale had been taken for
the safety of the Gar during the journey
from station on the Austrian border to
Kremsier. On this stretch of 400 kilometers,
soldiers were stationed along the line every
| 50 PAGES. The imperial train will pass
| through glittering avenue of bayonets
| Great anxiety prevails in government circles
| in Vienna, for in spite of all these precau-
tions it is feared that something alarming
may happen: The Kremsier episcopal resi-
| dence, the bischofschloss, where the two En-.
! perors will have their interview, has beer
| put in thorough repair. The theatre Of the
| town has been renovated in readiness for the
| special performance which was to be giver
in it to-day by the artists of the Vienna Hof
| burg The pieces played are one act farces
| 1t was originally intended to give the mono
logue of Macbeth but it was afterwarC
thought wise to exclude this from the pro
| gramme. 1t would not do to remind the au
gust auditors of murdered royalty. The the
atre has only $50 seats, all of which were t,
be occupied by the imperial party and suites
