"A DIPLOMATIC WONOEN
Germany's Emperor and the Gear VIII
Both be Guests Of the Sultan.

VIENNA, Oct. 30.-A rumor says the czar will
go 20 Constantinople as the guest Of the sultan.
The reports which have lately been sent out
from st. Petersburg that the czar had taken no
pains to conceal his astonishment that the
German emperor should pay visit to the sui
tan were undoubtedly authentic and repre-
sented accurately the cars feelings When.
however. il was learned that the emperor
would 60 to Constantinople. despite the amaze
ment OF the northern potentate, it is probably
true that the car, seeing the necessity Of of
setting the emperor's action and counteracting
the influences Of his conference with the COM
mander of the faithful, resolved to confer with
the sultan himself. Under none of the existing
circumstances could he pay a gratuitous visit
to the city whose inclusion within the Russian
domains he most covets as the guest of the
an invitation was the easiest thing possible to
obtain. The Russian ambassador to the porte
had only to intimate in the most vague manner
that his imperial master would be pleased to
accept the hospitality of his whilom enemy and
the object was accomplished. The sultan, him.
self one Of the most finished diplomats Of the
time, was equal to the occasion and forthwith
there issued Q note couched in the most affec-
tionate terms soliciting the honor Of the car
presence in the city Of mosques. The time set
for the visit 10 indefinitely fixed for the early
part OF next year, an arrangement most favor
able to the sultan. as sufficient time will
have elapsed for him to have realized some
of the benefits which will undoubtedly
attach to him from the visit Of the kaiser to
enable him to make deal with the czar which
will be advantageous to both. Both the
emperor and the czar have much to gain from
certain voluntary concessions on the part of
Turkey, which neither will permit the other
to obtain by force Of arms while the sultan has
nothing to lose in any event, the semi-hos-
tility Of the powers toward one another arising
from their jealousies guaranteeing to him
absolute security in the position from which
each would be delighted to oust him. It il
evident therefore that though the two emperors
will obtain from the sultan concessions of great
benefit to their respective governments, the
willy Mussulman will secure from each assur.
ances of his freedom from molestation tina,
will enable him to devote more time to the
negotiation Of loans and less to the cares of the
state.
