The Emperor's projected meeting with

her. Under The lnstlgstlon Of Prime Minis
ter Crispi King Humbert has asked the En-
! peror TO visit Rome, ana the latter has as
scnted.
THE TOPE PROTESTS.
The Pope, being apprised Of this fact, has
sent vigorous protest to Bismarck, de-
caring that the Emperor's presence at Rome
would be an act Of hostility toward the Nall-
can. especially during the pending crisis
/ with the Italian Government.
Cardual Ranpalll. the papal Secretary OF
| State. has also seat circulars 70 the Nunclos
Of Bavaria and Austria asking them 10 use
| their influence with those governments to
induce then 10 advise Emperor william
that his interview With King llumbert must
| be At a place remote from Rome.
Monsignor Gal'mberti sought conference
Yesterday VITA Prince Henry Of Reuss, the
! Germsn AmbasssdOr at Vienna, and made
an urgent representation declaring thit an
interview with King lIumbert in Rome
would renderthe Pope's position lntoleTAble
and probably precipitste his departure.
Signor Critpl holds that there las been no
arrangement hitherto that no ruling soye-
reign should be received in Rome.
In Difference TO the Catholic sentiment for
the monarch's meeting Victor Emguel or
Humbsrt have avoided saucIlonine, by their
uresebce 81 the quir'nsl, the Pope'5 dis.
/ nosse,sion. and the Vatican bas not failed 10
| draw advantage from this fact. using il rs
proof that the Italian Governments occupa-

tive even in the eyes Of Italy.
Signor Chspi, II is understood, attaches
the greatest significance TO the matter.
TIE ITMIRs VIEWS
The National Zeitung quotes the Italia
a. representing the views OF toe Italian Gov
eminent 10 The elect that the EnperoTs
visit will he a guarantee OF Italian unity.
Tmreror william, IN BIZ address to tho
ReichstAg, approved the alliance with united
Italy. II he now hesitaies 10 come to Rome
be will contradict his declared policy. In
receiving % yist King lIumOert IN the capl-
tai OF Ifsly the Emperor has given proof that
he understands the situation, thus argues the
| UQiid. on the other band, Cardinal Ram.
naips note alluGes 70 the services Which the
| Vatican has rendered the German Govern
msnt in Influencing the Catholic party at the
last election FOR members Of the Relchs'ag
and also In assisting Bismarck to modify the
kultcnkampf.
Thcil,pression grows IN official circles that
the Vatican will defeat Crisp on this point;
that the influence Of the Prince Regent OF
Bavaria and the Emperor d Austria will be
brought 10 bear in order 10 induce Emperor
! william not TO 20 to Rome and 10 select Milan
l or Florence as the Place Of meeting.
Queen Natalie Of Seryie, who arrived at
| The Hague to- night. has further cause OF CON-
paint against the Berlin Government. She
accuses Count Won BRAY Steinburg, the Ger
man Minister at Belgrade, OF urging King
Milan to contract marriage with one OF tue
Sake luxembourg prince'ses.
The SerIisn Premier approves the project.
Nothing will be done openly unit divorce
has been obtained. The proceedings move
slowly. A powerful section 81 the Higher
Servi,n clergy opposes the divorce aud de-
nies the competence OF the Synod to tnters
fere. The attitude Of the clergy being likely
TO prevent the granting Of the divorce the
friends OF Queen Natalie have renewed nego-
tiations for separation under the terms
offered her at Weisbaden.
