The Mutual Affection OF the Empcrors
at Kremsier.
The imperial meeting at Kremsier 10 to
Austria and Russia very much what the famous
meeting Of the Field Of the Cloth Of Gold was
in the 10th century to France and England,
The Cars visit will forever remain memorable

magnificence by the Austrian court; but nearly

sian autocracy. In reference to the immediate
results of the imperial visit, prominent
Austrian statesman remarked this morning:
"Just as so years ago Car Nicholas resisted
Kaiser Franz Joseph at Olmuth-also in
Moravia and only 20 miles from kremsier-
and prevailed upon our Emperor to keep
Austria neutral during the Crmean war, 30
to-day Gar Alexander is prevailing upon
Kaiser Franz Joseph to give his formal assur-
ance OF Austria's neutrality when the moment
comes for tho execution Of Russia's vast ORR

family train arrived at noon, and the two
Emperors and the members of the imperial
party alighted as the band Of the guard Of
honor played the Russian national anthem.
The Car then went forward to greet the En-
press Elizabeth, and, CALAMITY kneeling at her
feet, he kissed her hand. The party drove to
the palace, where the imperial visitors and
their retinues will be located during their visit.
The palace and the park in which it stands are
now guarded by troops, gendarmes and police
detectives. The apartments assigned for the
use of the Car and the Russian imperial
visitors are specially guarded.
The cost of the Kremsier interview will be
25O, 900 ilorins which will be paid out OF the
Emperor's private purse. Considering that
every year large percentage of the six
millions forming his majesty's civil list is de-
voted to charitable purposes, it must be ad.
mitted that the Austrian Kaiser has done
things handsomely. Certainly not murmul
would have been raised had the kremsier ex-
penses been betrayed by the state, but the
national finances are not flourishng, and the
Emperor, with his usual generosity, preferred
to make a sacrifice himself.
