Arrival at Kiel, and Departure for Berlin
Closely Guarded All the Way.
BERLIN, Oct. 10.-The Russian imperial
yacht Derjava, with the Car on board,
rode into the harbor of Kiel this afternoon,
and anchored opposite the castle amid
thunderous salutes from the guns of the
castle. and those of TIE war-ships comprise
ing the British and German squadrons rid
ing at anchor in the harbor. Hardly had
the Derjava come to anchor when she was
boarded by the officers delegated by En-
peror William to represent him. Generals
Won Werder, Won Kaltenbern-Stockau Ad-
mirals Goltz and Knorr and Court Mar
shall Won Zekendorff. all of whom
warmly greeted the Car on behalf of
Emperor William. Count Schouvalof, the
Russian ambassador at Berlin. also came
on board. and was cordially welcomed by
his imperial master. The whole party re-
mained on board the Derjava until the
special train. which was to convey them to
Berlin. was in readiness. when the Car
and his suite left the vessel, and, under a
heavy escort of marines, they proceeded to
the railway station. The Gar was closely
garded, and none but the marines and the
sOldiery was able to obtain so much as
from the yacht to the train.
An American who has lived for some
years in Berlin, at the imminent risk of
running afoul of the police officials, sums
up his Impressions of the elaborate mill
tary preparations making for the Cars
reception thus: when expecting a visitor
at my country house / usually tie up my
watchdog and get my plate and valuables
ready to exhibit. In the case of the Car
the Germans appear to be only reversing
the process"
Political Gossip About the Visit.
LONDON. Oct 10.-The newspapers, both
here and on the continent, are indulging in
all sorts of speculations upon the signif-
canoe of Prince Ferdinand's visit TO Vienna
and his entertainment by Emperor Francis
Joseph at the very time that the Czar is en-
joying the hospitality of the Emperor of
Germany. Upon the coincidence of the two
visits is built the most fantastic structure
of variegated guesswork that the vigorous
Imagination of the political editor is capa-
BILE of. None profess to have the slightest
foundation of fact for their guesses yet all
are unanimous in the belief that everything
is ripe. for, united action. on the
in Bulgarian politics-Germany, Russia
| and Austria-and that steps will be taken
| at once to terminate the anomalous posi-
| tion which Bulgaria and her ruler, Prince
| Ferdinand, have occupied ever since the lat
ters accession. Outright here all unanimlty
ends. Whether Bulgarian independence is
| to be decreed, and Ferdinand confirmed as
| ruler, or the ties which now nOminalIy
bind Bulgaria to the Porte are to forged
into stouter fetters, and her chosen prince
deposed, these are questions upon which
there are as many opinions as
| there are editorial utterances. 1t
is quite likely that the Berlin
| Tageblatt hits upon the true solution of
| the whole problem when it declares that
Prince Ferdinand's visit to Vienna at this
particular iuncture is purely accidental,
and that all speculation upon its signifi-
canoe is sheer waste of time.
| The visit of the Gar to the German cap
ital and its political import are subjects
which the German papers appear to handle
very tenderly. All agree that the visit is a
! subject for congratulation, but none accept
| it as an evidence of any thing more reassur-
ing than that the two loving monarchs are
not quite ready to get at one anOther'a
| throats.
