The BERLIN BUDGET


BERLIN, May 19-For the first time since
his critical relapse, the emperor has been
seen today out side of the Schloss. Shortly
after O'Clock the people assembled III
front of the palace were gratlfied by the
appearance of the emperor and empress
in an open carriage. The three princesses
followed in a second carriage, and III the
third were DR. Mackenzie and General
Winterford. The imperial carriage pro-
ceeded very slowly and enabled many
people TO come forward and
present flowers to the emperor
and empress, who received them till
the carriage was neaped with them. The
weather was bright and the heat was al
most that of midsummer. The emperor
still bears traces of fever but his appear
ance daily improves. The drive continued
to the shooting lodge at Grunewald, and
after a short rest the imperial family re-
turned to the SchIoss. Along the route
the emperor acknowledged the salutes OF
the people with a gesture or the hand.
During the drive the emperor remained re-
clining on pillows. Every day this week
he showed an increase of general strength.
His first outings in the Schloss park were
followed by restlessness during the earlier
period of the night, succeeded by refresh
ing sleep. Before today's drive he
passed several hours in the park reading,
writing and hearing reports. A marquee
is erected on the lawn behind the Schloss.
1t has two windows and is carpeted. The
interior is furnished with a telescope table,
couches and folding sofa especially made
for the emperor's Use in the open air. The
latter was greatly enjoyed today and the
invalid delayed his return to the rooms
until constrained to do so by DR.. Macken-
zie. While walking he looked very frail
and is obliged to lean on staff. Every
step is taken with apparent effort.
He takes a strong interest in the prepar-
atoms for the wedding of Princess Irene.
1t is expected that the marriage, instead
of being semi-private will be court cele-
bration, associated with the emperor S
recovery Three hundred and twenty
guests have been invited, including the
Prince of Wales, king of SaXony. grand
duke and grand duchess OF Baden, the
prince and princess of Anhalt, the crown
prince of Greece and all members of the
Hohenzollern and Hesse families. The
wedding dinner party will consist of forty
royal personages, and covers tor two hun
dred and eighty will be laid at the Marschal-
stafel for the household and the suites of
the royal guests. The wedding ceremony
will be performed in the palace chapel,
where special accommodations are being
prepared for the emperor and the Dowager
Empress Augusta. Princesses Victoria,
Sophie and Maragrathe and Princess
Alixes, of Hesse, will be the bridesmaids.

also prarure of diamonds, emeralds and

The relations between the empress and
Prince Bismarck are again strained. Be
fore the chancellor went to Varsein,
the empress submitted to the emperor
the names of several court officials on whom
she desired to have canfirmed distinguish
ed orders. Prince Bismarck protested and
the whole ministry signed The paper stat
ing that if the orders were conferred they
would resign. The empress withdrew the
the names. The feeling of bitterness be-
tween the court and Prince Bismarck S
partisans is intensified.
The chancellor will return to Berlin at
the end of next week. The situation is too
critical to permit of further rest for him
The war drum beats with Subdued reson-
ance. but ever and anon the official press
reawakens interest by some fresh alarm.
The Russian preparations are most
ominous,
The news of the week is to the effect that
Russia has accepted the French syndi-
Gates terms for a loan VI. yshuegradskl,
Russian minister of France, first recap
tured the negotiations with the compoir
escompete angrily rejecting proposals as a
slur upon Russia's solyency. Though the
details of negotiations which have been
concluded are meager. enough Is known 10
show that Mr.. Nidgradfici telt the pinch,
and the syndicate,s condition. The Rus
sian treasury obtains an Immediate adj
vance of 100000 pounds sterling. The
total loans amount TO &44, 100000, and the
balance will be issued in autumn if time is
opportune.
BCurse operators are discussing what
action Prince Bismarck will take regard
ing the loan if the new bondSare placed on
the German markets. The great banking
houses of Berlin and Frankfort have con-
ferred on the subject Of the attitude they
should assume toward the loan, and have
agreed that ii would be impolitic for the
government to take any legal measures TO
prohibit Germans from dealing IN the
bonds. Sometimes the bankers legiti-
mate influence Illustrate the purchase of
bonds on German and Austrian bourses.
Prince Bismarck was consulted on the ques-
ton and is reported TO have declared
that he could not propose a government
prohibition Of the loan unless on the eve
pf a rupture with Russia.
The North German Gazette and other
government organs have received inspira-
tion for vigorous renewal of the attacks
IN Russia, hence the accusation that the
rzar's agents are seeking TO foment re-
volt in Macedonia. The Gazette, in an
article, "A Russian Fortress on Turkish
Territory" denounces the celebrated con-
vents on Mt Athos as the center of a pan
slavists conspiracy and states that Rus
sian pilgrims who are really veteran
soldiers disguised, crowd the
