BERLIN, July 7.-The czar has asked in
an autograph letter to Emperor William
that Prince Bismarck accompany the
emperor to st. Petersburg, where NJ.
DeGiers will probably present the proposal
for nominal Russian protectorate in Bull
garia. The proposal does not invoke the
occupation of the country by Russia
candidate for the Bulgarian throne is to be
appointed at an ambassadorial conference
TO be held at either Vienna or CONSTANT
nople. If the terms are accepted the car
will order the army corps mastering on the
Austrian and German frontiers back into
the interior.
AUSTRIA MAY OBJECT
Prince Bismarck, presiding at a cabinet
meeting yesterday, stated these proposals,
and said be believed that they offered a
chance for peaceful solution Of the ques-
ton, and that he intended TO respond by
going to st. Petersburg, if the Austrian
government coincided in his views In
official circles here doubt is expressed as to
whether Austria's assent TO the proposals
can be obtained.
An article in the Tagblntt written under
information regarding Russia's offer
saws That to allow Russia to have any
special rights over Bulgaria is to ignore
Austria's interest and to stultifY everything
said by Count Kalknoky to the delegations
regarding her policy.
PANsLAvIsrs DIsPLEAsED.
The panslavist party of Russia does not
approve the czars rapprOchement with
Germany All slavs, the article says, must
unite against the Unsuitable Germans and
the promise is held out that when Germany
has been vanquished by the com
bned French and Russian forces
the Poles will once more be Joined in on3
nation under Russian protection. In con-
nection with this article, it is known that
Gen. Igpatieff has been making overtures
10 the Polish committee in Vienna for NUT
ual action against Austria when the war
opens. The general promises the Poles and
the pan-savist party to re-establish semi
autonomy in Poland, including the areas
annexed by Austria and Russia.
Prince Bismarck met the Bundesrath to-
day 1t was the last sitting before the
summer vacation. Everything is now
tending toward dullness and temporary
peror's journey to Russia does not arouse
much interest.
