BERLIN, October 19.-The agreeable
impression left by the Cars visit still
prevails here. 1t is now dehnitelyknown
that Prince Bismarck's persuasive pre-
sentations succeeded in eliciting from
the Gar expressions more friendly to
himself and to Germany than the Chan
cellor expected. Before leaving for
Friederichschea Bismarck received several
of the leading diplomatic representatives,
and in the conversation referred to, the
peaceful inclination of the Gar he said,
assured him that Russia would not pro-
woke war, and especially would never
begin war against Germany. The Chan
Cellor believes he succeeded in convincing
the Gar that the triple alliance and
Germany's new relation with England in
no wise threaten Russia. Advices from
st. Petersburg refer to the excited alarm
of the Pan Slavists because the Gar has
been again out witted. M. Degiers,
whose position is threatened BY the
growing influence of General Woronzoff-
Doschkoff, is reported as writing on the
margin OF the report sent to him regard
ing the Berlin interview: This wants
sOmething-the name of the Russian
diplomat who cleaned Bismarck s
boots" This remark is directly pointed
at Doschkoh, who remained here several
days after the Gar left and had long
conference with either the Chancellor or
Count Herbert Bismarck.

the Cologne Gazette predicts that even il
Giers is forced to resign the foreign port
folio and is succeeded by General Woor-
anzoft-Daschkotf the Gar will not long
resist the anti-German influences. His
suspicious nature and susceptibility to
suggestions that he is being cOzened, rem
der him an easy instrument for Pan
Slavist manipulation. The Moscow pa
pers continually recall how delusions
which the Gar brought with him from
his Berlin visit of 1887 required only time
to dispel.
The safe arrival of the imperial party
at Gotschina relieved the official mind
here, which could not help being affected
by nervous anXieties pervading the Cars
whole encourage. Even Count Schonva-
loft showed himself affected This fear
caused large sums to be uselessly eX-
pended at the old schloss and the palace
at Potsdam for securing the isolation OF
the Gar, if he should stay at either. No
precautions seemed to satisfy the Russian
officials. Count Schonvaoff fortified the
Russian embassy, six Russian artisans,
especially attached to the Cars retinue,
examined The wall, flooring and furniture
of the embassy dl.1 inserted grating bars
at th> tops and bottoms of the chimnevs.
Sentries were also stationed upon the
roof, apparently to prevent explosives
being thrown down the hues.
The Berlin secret police assisted the
Russian detectives as far as the frontier
In accordance with the Cars desire the
railway bridges at Neustadt, Dirschan
and Marienburg and all the streets of
Dantzic were guarded by troops. Until
the moment the Gar left Dantzic, even
the officials were not allowed to know
whether he would board the imperial
yacht Derav or make the journey by
railroad When the train started via the
Dirschan line for the frontier, orders were
tclegraphed to put so, 900 Russian troops
III motion to protect the lines.
