that the German Emperor and Empress have
yet decided the question of their going either

the present, at Charlottenburg. Probably In
tay, though perhaps not until June, Frederick
III will leave Charlotrenburg to reside in the
new palace in Potsdam. which IS equally con-
venient 10 Berlin for governments purposes.
