London, Aug 6.-The rumor that the Queen In
tended paying visit to Baden in September to meet
the Emperor william clearly untrue. II would
be impossible for the Queen forego the pleasure
of being at Bamoral at the time when the weather
breaks and the first signs Of winter appear. The
colder the weather tho more the Quen likes 1t. shs
Is, indeed always better In cold than in warm
weather. As the Dowager Empress Victoria will b
with her shortly aftorward, It IS not likely that Her
Majesty will leave Scotland until she to
windsor for tho winter. II Emperor william desires
to take the opportunity Of seeing the Queen, he
would Of course, propose to visit Her Majesty az
Windsor as 1t would scarcely be in accordance with
etiquette or with ordinary proprlety for the Queen
TO take the trouble and undergo the journey to Ger-
many for the purpose OF having an interview with
her grandson. There has probably been confusion
Of persons and this absurd report has arisen out Of
the Enperor's intention TO visit Baden Baden with
the Empress and their children at the end Of next
month in order to be there 10 spend the Both with
the Dowager Empress Augusta, that day being her
eeven ~ seventh birthday Emperor william has
presented marble busts OF himself TO Prince Bismarck
and General Won MOltke.

THE "NOUVELLE REvUE's" SENSATION.
Tho publication of state docITents of a confidential
character through hostile channels always eKcites
widespread interest. That German state papers had
first TO obtain publicity In a French periodical makes
the effect still more piquant. 1t Is not surprising,
therefore, that the publication in the "NouveIe Re
yuep of what purports to be conndcnua commum'
cation addressed by Prince Bismarck to Emperor fred'
erch should have attracted much attention IN all ths
CAPITALS of Europe. An analysis OF the paper tsei
does not however Justify the excitement which has
been aroused There is nothing in 1t which was not
matter of common report in Berlin at the time OF
the nroected Battenberg marriage. Official characer
has however been given to the common gossip OF
the day by the dgnfed tone Of the language and the
formal style of writing When the wife OF the moss
popular feuilletonist In Berlin eoped few weeks

prise that something more astonishing has not been
fabricated.
