MUST BE PEACE OR WAR.
BISMARCK TO BRING MATTERS TO
A FOCUS.

Fredensborg, received at Potsdam and the
foreign office tonight, say that the czar
will start for Berlin on Thursday next.
According to the present programme, the
czar will go to Kiel. journeying thence by
way of Oldersloe and Schwarzenbeck to
Berlin. This programme is subject 10 alter
alton. Col. Schirinkine, chief of the csar's
secret police, passed through Berlin to-day
on his way to Kiel. He is accompanied by
the inspector of imperial trains. The czar's
special train, once owned by the Empress
Eu genie, lies at the station here, having
come from Wirballen.
swARMs OF RUSSIAN POLICE.
There are swarms of Russian police here,
at Kiel aud at the stations along the pro-
posed route. Russian troops line the rails
from Wirballen to Moscow The pre-
cautions taken far excel those on the occas-
ion of the former visit of. toe czar aud are due
to his intense fears of an attempt upon his
life. The czarina leaves Copenhagen on
October II for Konigsberg, rejoining the
car at some point on the homeward
Journey. Only court minister Worontzow-
Daschkoff and ssaides-de-camp and Generals
Teherelrne and Richter will accompany the
czar.
BISMARCK TO HAVE HIS INTERVIEW.
Under the pressing insistance OF Count
Schouvaloff, the Russian ambassador to
Germany, the czar will accord Prince Bis
marck the desired interview. As soon as
the promise of a conference was received
the sernl-oficlal press was instructed to deny
the statement that the government intended
toapply TO the reichstag for military credit
of several hundred million marks. To-
night the National Gazette turns upon
itself, declaring that no money demands of
any Importance were ever contemplated by
the government.
ANOTHER RETRACTION
The statement that the movements of
Russian troops were threatening the safety
of the frontier is likewise pronounced ex-
aggerated The czar will pass forty-eight
hours between Potsdam and Berlin. Moth
ing is expected to result from his meeting
with Bismarck. Moscow newspapers ridi-
cule the idea that the czar will accept any
conclllatory overtures unless they are well
backed by solid concessions.
AUSTRIA UNEASY.
An uneasy feeling appears to prevail
in Austrian Official circles, it being feared
that the chancellor is about to make a new
move by offering to assist in restoring Rus
sian domination in Bulgaria as an induce
ment to draw the czar from the French
alliance. The Vienna Fremdenblatts
nand as prince of Bulgaria has been quoted
by the North German Gazette without
comment Other semi-official papers leave
German support doubtful, although the
Vienna cabinet is known to attach supreme
Importance to the question.
DOUBLE GAME.
Prince Bismarck is suspected of PLAYING a
double game. 1t is thought that on one
hand he will threaten the car with a move
ment looking to the firm establishment of
Bulgarian independence, while on the other
hand he will offer an entente based on a
proposal that Russia shall have freer hand
to deal with Bulgaria, and intervene in
Armenia. 1t is certain that if the
czar receives Prince Bismarck's pro-
posals with coldness, recognition
of Ferdinand by the porte, the powers
forming the triple alliance, and England
will be an immediate sequence. The sultan
has already agreed TO recognize Ferdinand.
and only awaits the visit of Emperor Will
lam before issuing formal proclamation
to that effect.
ROUGH ON THE TRA-CoNSERvATIvEs
The Kreuz Zeiturtg to-day reproduced
Emperor Williams article in the Reichsags-
zeiger rebuking its attack on the Cartel
parties. The Zeitung frankly adds that it
assailed the national liberals because con-
vinced 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 criticisms it now bows before
the opinion Of the emperor. The response of
the KreuS Zettulg, generally admitted to be
dignihed and well put, coneea ais its
modification at finding that the
emperor has unabated confidence in the
chancellor's international policy, and that
he is also ready to resent toadyism from the
ultra-conservatives. The weight of the inn
perial rebuke is enhanced by the announce
ment that it was written by the emperor
solely in his own initiative. and without the
knowledge of Prince Bismarck. All parties
feel the importance of the utterance for the
coming elections. It will help squash the
ultra-conservatives, and enormously
strengthen the united conservatives and
national liberals.
FEVER IN COURT CIRCLES AT ATHENS.
The news from Athens that fever is
ravaging the populace there, and that
several court officials are among the
victims, alarms the imperial circle The
emperor is due at Athens on Oct %. If
the epidemic continues the marriage fetes
will be curtaiied The present programmes
of three days fetes and review Of $4,000
troops will be reduced to quiet marriage
ceremony.
VISIT OF THE KAISER TO TURKEY.
The preparations that are being made at
Constantinople for the reception of the
emperor indicate a prolonged stay. 1t is
reported that he will remain two weeks at
the Turkish capital He will be accom-
panied by Count Herbert Bismarck. Toe
length of the emperor's visit is attributed
to an intention to inquire into the condition
of the Turkish army, and to test the state
ment of German officers that the porte is
still able to maintain standing army of
400, 900 men.
AN AUsTRo-GERMAN ZoLLvEREIN.
The question of zollverein between Ger |
many and Austria exercises Vienna news
papers, which argue that as the two |
nations have common foreign policy, |
there is no good reason why they should not |
also have a common economic policy to- |
ward nations outside the dreibund. As a |
practical approach thereto, the NeNe Freie |
Presse hopes that Prince Bismarck will |
accord Austria, in future treaties Of COM |
merce, special concessions and abolish the |
most favored nation treatment now given |
to France.
JULES FERRY FOR MINISTER.
n. Herbette, the French ambassador, re-
turned to Berlin last night. 1t is reported !
that he will be replaced by Jules Ferry. In |
spite of some di pleasing acts of M. Ferry |
while in power, Prince Bismarck is ready to |
accept him.
