BERLIN, Oct. 5.-Oficial telegram.
from Fredensborg. received at Potsdam
and the foreign Office tonight say that
the cZar will start for Berlin on Thurs
day next. According to the present
programme the czar will go to Kiel. jour-
neying thence by way of Oldersloe and
Schwarzenbeck to Berlin. This pro-
gramme is subject to alteration. NJ.

to-day on his way to kiel. He is

once owned by the Empress Eugene,
lies at the station here. having come
from WiTbalien. There are sWaTns OF
Russian police here. at Kiel and at the
stations along the proposed route. Rus
sian troops line the rails from Wirbai-
len to Moscow. The precautions taken
far excel those on the occasion of the
former visit of the czar. and are due to
his intense fears of an

the promise of conference
was received, the semi-officiai
press was instructed to deny the state
ment that the government intended to
apply to the reiehstag for military
credit Of several hundred million
marks. Tonight the National Gazette
turns upon itself, declaring that no
money demands of any Importance were
ever contemplated by the government.
The statement that the movements of
Russian troops were threatening
the safety of the frontier is
likewise pronounced exaggerated.
The czar will pass forty-eighr hours be-
tween PotSdam and Berlin. Nothing is
expected to result from his meeting
with Prince Bismarck. The Moscow
papers ridicule the idea that the ear
will accept any cOnciliatory overturps
unless they are well backed by solid
concessions. An uneasy feeling ap-
pears to prevail in the Australian Off
cial circle, it being feared that the
chancellor is about to make a new
move by offering to assist in restor-
ing Russian dominance in Bulgaria as
an inducement TO draw the ear from a
French alliance. The Vienna, Fem
denbatt's article advocating the recog-
milton of Ferdinand as prince of Bull
garia, has been quoted by the North
German Gazette without comment.
Other semi-Official papers leave German
support doubtful. although the Vienna
Importance to lhe question. Prince
Bismarck is suspected of
PLAYING A DOUBLE GAME,
It is thought on the one hand he vii
threaten the cZar with movement
looking TO the firm establishment of
Bulgarian independence, while on the
other hand he will offer an entente
based on proposal that Russia shall
have freer hand to deal with Bulgaria
and intervene in Armenia. 1t is GER
tain that if the ezar receives
Prince Bismarck's proposals with
coldness, recognition of Ferdinand
by the porte, the powers form
ing the triple alliance and England
will be the immediate sequence. The
sultan has already agreed to recognize
Ferdinand. and only awaits the visit of
Emperor William before issuing a for
NAL proclamation to that effect. The
Kreuz Zeitung to-day reproduced En-
peror Williams article IN the Reichsan-
Zeiger rebuking its attack on the Cartel
parties. The Zeitung frankly adds
that it assailed the National
Liberals because convinced that the
line of policy of the Cartel parties under
the influence of the National Liberals
was Injurious TO the state; and by virtue
of the spirit of loyalty that has ami
mated its criticismn. it now bows before
the opinion of the emperor. The re-
sponse of the KIeuZ Zeitung. generally
admitted to be dignifed and well put,
eouceals its modification and Junker-
thum at finding that the emperor has
unabated confidence in the chanrelloT's
policy, and that he is also
READY TO RESENT TOADYIsM
from the ultra-Conservative. The
weight Of the imperial rebuke is en-
hanced by the announcement that is
was written by the emperor solely on
his own initiative, and without the
knowledge of Prince Bismarck. All
parties feel the IMPORTANCE Of the utter
ance for the coming elections. 1t will
help squash the ultra-ConseFvatiye5,
and enormously strengthen the
al-LiberalS, The news from Athens
that fever is Tayaging the
populace there, and that several court
officials are among the victims, alarms
the imperial circle. The emperor is due
at Athens on the 2Sth inst. If the cpl
demic continues the marriage fetes will
be eurtailed. The present programme
of three DAYS fetes and a review of 3d.
600 troops viii be reduced to quiet
marriage ceremony. The preparations
that are being made at Con-
stantinople for the reception of
Emperor William indicate prolonged
stay. 1t is reported that he Will remain
two weeks at the Turkish capital. He
will be accompanied by Count Herbert
Bismarck. The length of the emperor's
visit is attributed TO an intention to in
ouire into the condition of the Turkish
army, and TO test the statement of Ger
man officers that the porte IS still able
to maintain a standing army of400,o0
men. The
QUESTION OF A ZoLLVEREIN
between Germany and Austria exercises
the Vienna newspapers, which argus
that. as the two nations have a common
foreign policy, there is no good reason
why they should not also have COM
mon economic policy toward nations
outside the Dreibund. As a practical
approarh thereto the Neue Freie Presse
homes that Prince Bismarck will accord
Austria. IN future treaties Of commerce,
speciaf concessions, and abolish the most
favored nation treatment now given to

bassador, returned to Berlin last even
