an autograph letter to Emperor William
stating that the cZarina has caught cold,
and that her physicians have advised
her to delay her departure for several
days. The car asks that the final di-
rections for his reception at Potsdam be
delayed. Prince Bismarck has since
communicated with Count Schouvaloff,
the Russian minister, in regard
to the arrangements of the czar
in the event of his coming to
Berlin. Count Schouvaloff replied that
he had orders to prepare to receive the
car and his suite at the embassy. The
ear himself has not intimated his in
tentions beyond his visit to Potsdam.
The emperor will go to Schwerin on
Tuesday as the guest of the grand duke
of Mecklenburg. According to the Ma
tional Zeitung the cars visit is offie-
tally fixed for Oct. 9. The alb
senee of M. De Giers, the Rus
sian prime minister, who is now
staying in the remote part of the prov
ince of Tambor, does not appear to af-
feet Prince BiSmarck'S determination
to the have an audience with the car.
The week has been signalized by an
outbreak of the war clamor by the semi
official press. The Cologne Gazette
publishes an alarmlSt article on the eX-
tension of the Russian strategic rail-
ways on the frontier, which the North
German Gazette prominently quotes.
There is simultaneous
REAPPEARANCE OF WAR NOTES
In the chancellor's organs. The Vienna
20, fhne etc Anv ~,
that tine Russians along the frontiers of
Gilicla and BukOvina, are in active mo-
ton. Six regiments of cavalry and four
the interior. Observation towers are
being erected close to the Galician from
tier, the whole aspect of the country
giving the impression that the army
is making strategetic march.
These reports have been directly
suppressed by the Vienna and Berlin
ministries. BisInarck's motive in recre-
ating agitation over the Russian arma-
ments on the eve of the cars reception
is variously interpreted. Recalling the
incidents prior to the last interview the
car accorded him here, it is obvious
that the chancellor aims to place the
car again under the necessity of grant
ing a political conference. The reports
also serve OTHER purposes, as they tend to
balk Russia's efforts to negotiate a
loan for the payment of the cost of the
rifles ordered in France. and
prepare the reichstag to accept the new
military bill, which is now known to in
volve an extra credid of 40,000, 900
marks. But the indifference shown by
the bOerSe over the attempted scare
forecasts the feeling of the reichstag,
Prince Bismarck will find the members
less susceptible than formerly to the
old trick. The czar's
AVERSION TO MEETING BISMA RICK
or to giving his visit any character
other than that of formal courtesy, has
been intensified by the projected jour-
ney of Emperor William to Constantine
pie. The programme of the emperor's
tour is now announced to include
visit to Bucharest, which will further
annoy the ear. The Moscow papers
ask if Bismarck dreams of detaching
the Greeks from the traditions of
Russian alliance. The Greeks attach
import to the marriage
OF the Duke of Sparta and Princess
Sophia. An old prophecy is recalled by
the papers Of Athens and reproduced
here, to the effect that the mosque of
st. Sophia in Constantinople will be re-
stored TO the Christians under the rule
of Greek emperor named Constantine,
with wife called Sophia. The coinci-
dence of the Duke of Sparta's name,
and that of the Prin-
cess Sophia is exciting the imagi-
nation of all the Greeks as hopeful
augury of coming events, feeling
which Bismarck will take advantage Of.
The empress will accompany the emper-
or to ConstantinOple and will stay on
the imperial yacht while the sultan en-
tertains his majesty. The reichstag is
expected to meet on Nov. 4. A re-
grouping of the parties is inevitable.
The ultra-ConServativeS announce their

party. as it is becoming too liberal.
Herr Miguel, speaking at Frankfort, de-
clared that it was necessary to recon-
struct the groups. The existing parties.
he said, were
PRODUCTS OF THE PAST
ind out of date. The present party
are utterly unadapted to
leal with the questions of the immedi-
ate future. The Progressives under
stand MIGUEL as foreSeeing the break
Up of the National Liberals. but the
Nationals are sanguine that the party
will he strengthened by the absorption
IF section of the Centre party,
and close union with the
Liberal Conservatives. Bismarck
IS favoring the aims of Herren
Bennigsen and MIGUEL and other lead
ers of the Nationals. He will offer Herr
Miguel the post of finance minister, re-
placing Herr Scholz, whose eye malady
grows worse. These prospective
changes do not threaten seriously Bis
marck'S hold over the Cartel party,
though they are likely to weaken the
governments majority In the new
denies that Count Won Munster has re-
signed as German ambassador to France.
A report to that effect was part of the
current rumors that Count Hatzteldt
would be transferred to Paris, Count
Won Waldersee going to London. The
Post does not contradict the Won VAL
lerSee rumor. Bismarck is again in
.riguing with the emperor to send Won
Waldersee to high diplomatic post. in
which BiSmarckian craft will succeed in
exposing him to adverse criticism.
Won WalderSee was last year
offered the Vienna embassy. but got
The emperOr'S permission to decline it.
The chancellor is now reported to be
urging the emperor. if he designs Won
Waldersee to become chancellor, that
he must

Of execution if it will produce

on the scientific side of the
question and has sent the ministry
copious notes OH the American and
European scientists inquiries into the
matter. His personal conclusion was
that electricity ought not to be applied
unless the preparations for the execu-
ton be short and simpler than for hang
ing or beheading. He thinks that the
hitherto suggested are clumsy.
