BERLIN, July 2S.-The movements of
Emperor William and his party, after their
visit to Copenhagen, are timed so that they
will arrive at Kiel on Monday next. On
Tuesday his majesty will hold a naval re-
view, the leading feature of maneuvers
being a test of the powers of torpedo boats.
The interview between Emperor William
and King Christian of Denmark has special
Importance as associated with a settlement
of the family question connected with the
Bulgarian throne. The czar appears to
have given his assent to the creation of a
Bulgarian monarchy, with either Prince
Waldemar, the youngest IN of King Chris
tan, or the Duke Of Cumberland on the
throne.
THE DUKE FEELS INSULTED.
The Duke of Cumberland has decisively
rejected the offer, which was made to him
through Prince Bismarck. In his note re-
fusng to accept the crown, he declares that
the proposal is an insult to him as the legit-
innate king of Hanover, and expresses the
hope that he is destined to see the king of
Prussia reduced to his proper level.
King Christian of Denmark advises
Prince Waldemar to accept the throne of
Bulgaria if the entente between the
European powers is perfect. King George
of Greece, the brother Of Prince Waldemar
opposes his canddature. Important events
are certain to take place if Greece and Bull
gaIia come into conflict.
TO CONFER WITH BISMARCK.
The Emperor William before returning
to Potsdam will go to Friedrichsruhe to
confer with Prince Bismarck.
Advices from Stockholm say that EN-
peror William was delighted with his recep-
lion in that place, which was even more
spontaneous and enthusiastic than the
reception at st. Petersburg.
A Stockholm journal Of to-day the

impression which the Emperor William
left by his frank and uncOnstrained manner
It considers his visit Of the greatest i'm
lortance in assisting the progress Of the
peaceful policy which must henceforth be-
come security for the welfare of the minor
European nations
A PLEDGE OF FRIENDSHIP.
The National Zeitung, in a semi-official
article, declares that the imperial visit to
Stockholm and Copenhagen is a pledge for
the ero-estaDliShment Of friendly relations by
Germany with the Scandinavian races, and
adds: The Prussian press and people trust
that the result will show the French re-
vanchists the worth of the revanche spirit.
If Denmark can forget Schleswig- Holstein
France ought to learn to reconcile herself
to the loss of Alsace-Lorraine.'
With reference to Prince Ferdinand, it
says it has been decided that he shall be
assisted to maintain his position in Bull
garia.

KIEFF'S CHURCH FESTIVAL.
Regarding the church festival at KieiF, ii
should be said that IL is not the great celo-
6rotlon which the Slav committee expected
A few German journalists responded to the
invitation to be present, and some of the
MINOR papers of Austria in the pay
OF the Muscovite party sent
representatives at the cost of the Sav com
mlttee. The contemptuous neglect with
which Germany thus treats the celebration
rouses the ire Of the Muscovite press. The
Moscow Gazette says that Germany is a
permanent menace to the peace Of Europe,
and that She stands in the way Of Russia's
Ultimate destiny.
