BERLIN, July N.-The greatest diplo-
matte triumph of Prince Bismarck's life
| will be achieved if he succeeds in his latest
| project, which was to arrange meeting be-
tween the Czar, Emperor Francis Joseph
and Emperor William in Berlin. News Of
the Cars assent to the proposal that he
should visit the German Court on August
% was received at the Foreign Office Mon
day, causing the greatest satisfaction.
Prince Bismarck Immediately communicat-
ed with Count Kalnoky, calling his atten-
tion to the opportunity presented by the near
! ly concident visits of the Czar and Emperor
Francis Joseph. and proposing that aa in
terview be held between the three monarchs,
as well as conferences between himself,
Count Kalnoky and M. de Giers, the OBJ
ject being to ,dissipate all misunderstand-
ings.
officials here have been instructed to
maintain absolute silence. They deny all
knowledge of the Cars intentions, and de-
clare that they cannot count even upon a
visit from him. The semi-oficial press have
been similarly directed to maintain reserye
on the subject, on the ground that criticism
might alter the present favorable disposition
OF the Gar.
AUSTRIA IN BISMARCK's HANDS.
servant of secrecy, and discusses the chances
of an interview. Count Kalnoky, 1t is
stated, has placed himself in Bismarck's
hands, but refuses to make any overtures to
the Gar regarding meeting with Emperor
| Francis Joseph. Ii Prince Bismarck per-
suades the Gar to consent to the interview,
the Austrian Emperor will postpone his
coming until the 18th. He will not be
| present when Emperor William receives
the Car, but will go to Kiel for the naval
review, returning aiterward to Potsdam,
where it is intended the Emperors shall meet.
The Chancellor will return here on the 18th
and remain throughout the visits of the
I Gar and Emperor Francis Joseph. He is
supposed to be aiming, not at a definite
treaty OF alliance involving Russia in the
Central European League, but only to re-
establish better relations between the three
empires and balk French negotiations lor
an offensive ard defensive alliance with
Russia. He has a foothold for a renewed
entente in the Cars increased intensity of
| hatred for the Anarchists. Recent COM
municatlons with st. Petersburg regarding
the plotting OF refugees in Switzerland
| leading to o common pressure upon the
1 G. - -
certed action by the three Powers against
| Socialists, Anarchists and Nihilists.
A DEFINITE UNDERSTANDING
as to this sphere of action would tend to
modify existing enmities. Even If only the 2
semblance of amity were obtained 1t would
give new guarantees of peace for seversl
| years. Prince Bismarck's chances of ar
ranging an interview have been strength
ened by the support Of the Russian Embas-
sador, Count Schouvalof, but everything
depends upon the mood of the Gar.
| The Kreuz Zeitung has semi-offcial ad-
vices from st. Petersburg, saying: THE
| Gar. who has frequently altered his in
tention regarding the return of the visit of
Emperor William, has now assented under
| the persistent entreaties of M. De Giers and
NJ Vishnegradski. Since the -Borki acci-
| dent, the Gar has had dread of railway
| Journey, even with the entire route guarded
| by select troops. He will be accompanied
| to Berlin by the Empress and the whole i'm
perial family. The party will proceed to
Copenhagen after leaving Berlin"
Russian papers, however, do not believe
that the Cars assent will be obtained by
Prince Bismarck even though backed BY
NJ. De Giers and Count Schouvaloff. The
More Freyna declares that the Gar goes
to Berlin simply as an act of courtesy and
that his visit will have no bearing upon the
European situation unless Germany changes
her policy by consenting to satisfy the legiti-
mate aspirations of Russia.
WELCOMING EMPEROR WILLIAM.
Emperor William arrived at Wilhelm's
Haven this morning. As the Imperial yacht
was sighted entering the roads, salutes were
fred by the war ships in the harbor and by
shore batteries. When His Majesty disem-
barked, guard Of honor on the quay pre-
sented an address and the band played the
national anthem. An immense crowd, in
cluding hosts of visitors, were assembled to
greet the Emperor. His Majesty is bronzed
and vigorous-looking. Immediately upon
landing he sent telegram to the Empress,
who, accompanied by her four sons, LEFT
Kissingen at o'clock this afternoon for
Wilhelm's Haven. Their Majesties Will
remain there until Wednesday, when the
Emperor will leave for England.
on the Gortright miners convicted at Bres-
lau of rioting during the recent strike there
will probably lead to an appeal to the EN-
peror. The prisoners are all under 20 years
of age, and a number Of them are not more
than 16 years old.
A CHANGE OF FRONT.
An article in the North German Gazette
on strikes shows an ominous change Of
front on the part of the Government toward
the miners. 1t argues that the recent
strikes were manifest abuse Of the right
of coalition. Semi-oficial newspapers con-
cur and predict that the result Of the COM
mission Of inquiry into the miners griev-
ances will be nil, and that the Government
will cease to interfere beyond suppressing
breaches of the law.
DR.. Peters has sent letter from East
Africa to the Cologne Gazette in which he
accuses the English Admiral Freemantle, of
seizing the Peters expedition steamer
Neeram, although the vessel had NO contra
band OF war abroad. The Cologne Gazette
declares that unless the Government speedi-
ly adopts decisive measures, the English
will completely exclude the Germans from
Central Africa
