BERLIN. September 2l.-The Emperor will
return to Potsdam tomorrow. Prince bis-
marck will come TO Berlin Wednesday.
Count Herbert Bismarck, all the Cabinet
ministers, and General Won Sohweinitz,
the German Ambassador 10 Russia, ore
summoned 10 the meeting Thursday, Tho
assembling of political potencies IL due 20
the Cars coming visit, for which de-
finite arrangements are to be made. 1no
Kielez Zeitpng (newspaper) announces that
tho Russian yachts Degava and Czarevna,
and the ironclad General Admiral. convoy
ing the Gear, are timed to reach KEEL on
the morning Of the 29th instant.
Although the Gar has expressed an ear
nest wish that his reception DO az quiet as
possible and that no international subject
be pressed upon his attention during his
stay, Prince Bismarck appears TO be deter
mined to invest the interview with all pos
sible importance. If his plans are effected
instead of a short and unceremOnious visit
the Gar will be treated to q number OF
court banquots and q diplomatic dinner.
Tho absence Of Giers, the Russian foreign
Minister, indicates that the Gar Is deter
mined 20 refuse Prince Bismarck pOllti-
cal conference. In order TO emphasize ms
desire TO avoid a discussion OF foreign al
fairs the Gar has ordered Giers to leave
st. Petersburg on Tuesday for afortnights
D
vinces. Throughout his sojOurn here the
Gar will ostentatiously refrain from the
transaction Of oil Foreign-Oflice business.
The NorOe Vrenyd (newspaper), Crash
dan and all the Russian newspapers agree
/ that the exceptionally friendly treatment
of the CZarewitch during his visit to Ger
many and the cOurtesies offered to the
Gar do not affect the relations between
! the two countries. The Cars personal
| feelings towards the Emperor have recent
| " been excited by an incident arising from
| his comforting the order OF st. Stanlslaus
| on the Bulgarian Major Grueh, VINO KID
| napped Prince Alexander OF Battenberg,
! and who now is a Russian penslonW. Inc
| Emperor OF military dinner IN the course
| of conversation expressed wonder that the
| decoration should have been gwen TO
! traitorous soldiers. Three officers whOwere
present at the dinner and heard the Empe-
rOr's words forthwith returned the insignia
TO st. Petersburg with collectively
signed protest stating that they could not
wear an order that had been given to
"a mutineer. The Cars evaporation
was so intense that he demanded through
; Count SchouvaiOn, the Russian AmDasSa-
hor here. the punishment Of the officers.
The Emperor placed them under arrest for
unauthorized correspondence with q
foreign government, but after two days he
ordered their release. The belief OF the
Foreign Office here is that the Gar designs
to stay only few hours as Potsdam and
not to come to Berlin, proceeding straight
to Moscow after an interchange OF formal
/ ties with Emperor William.
The manmuyres at Hanover terminated
to-day, the Emperor commanding. The
! Tenth CORPS assumed defensive position
| behind EiYe on the Alfeld railway. us
CORPS used smokeless powder. Eight
Schumann ironclad towers armed with
machine-guns figured in the fight, the plan
| of which involved the retreat Of the
Seventh CORPS firing ordinary powder. The
Post Publishes n military report on the
manGuvres which Is conclusive rs 10 the
necessity of smokoless powder bencetorlh

If it had been a real battle they would

upon the dcmoralizing and bewtlderng

upon their opponents, and also refers 10

General Won Blumenthal. who was sup
posed TO be under the disDleasure OF En-
perOr William, was present at the ma
nUuvros TODAY and was cordially received
by the Emperor. The popular demonstra-
| ton so gratified the Emperor that he told
the Burgomaster ~ Hanover that lie hoped
to pass several days yearly among the
| Hanoverians.
His Majesty distributed one hundredand

/ wish the municipal authorities of Hanover

| The constant troubles between Mr.. Ed
wards, United States Consul ut Berlin, am!
| the merchants have resulted IN a formal
/ complaint being sent TO the Foreign once
| by the Merchants Society regarding the
| consulate's delay of business and unciyll
| treatment. Complaint has already been
referred to Count Herbert Bismarck, who
! is indisposed to interfere in the matter on
! the ground that it is Of too little import
tance. Consul Edwards, it Is said, has the
! approval Of Secretary Blaine in the general
| line of his conduct.

make the amended anti-Socialist law, which
