BERLIN, September 2S.-The Gar has
sent 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 Gar asks that the
final directions tor his reception at Pots
dam be delayed.
Prince Bismarck has since comnuni-
Gated with Count Schonvalotf, the Rus
sian minister, in regard to the arrange
ments of the Car in the event of his com
ing to Berlin. Count Schonvaloh replied
that he had orders to receive the Car al
the embassy. The Gar himself has not
intimated his intentions beyond his visit
to Potsdam.
The Emperor will go to Schwerin Tues
day as the guest of the Grand Duke oi
Mecklenburg.
According to the National Zeitung the
Cars visit is officially fixed tor October

prime minister, who is now staying in

marck'S determination to have an audi

This week has been signalizcd by ar
outbreak of war clamor by the Semi-oth

prominently quoted. There is simulta'

Vienna papers iomeut a scare by the
statements that the Russians along the
frontiers of Galicia and Balkovlnia are
in active motion. Six regiments OF cav
airy and four of infantry have, they say
arrived from the interior. Observation
towers are being erected Close to the Ga
licia frontier, the whole aspect OF the
country giving the impression that the
army is making strategic march These
reports have been directly suppressed by
the Vienna and Berlin ministries.
Bismarcks motive in secreting the agl-
tation over the Russian armaments on
the eve of the Cars reception is varl-
ouslv interpreted, recalling incidents prior
to the last interview the Car accorded
him here. 1t is obvious that the Chan
cellor aims to place the Gar again under
the necessity of granting political coil-

in France, and preparations to accept
the new military bill, which is now known
to involve an extra credit OF 24O, ,OOO,OOO
marks. But if the indifference shown by
the Bourse over the attempted scare fore
casts the feeling of the Reichstag, Bis
marck will find the members less suscep-
tible than formerly to the old trick.
The Cars aversion to meeting the
Chancellor or to giving his visit any
character other than that OF formal cout-
tesy has been intensified by the projected
Journey of Emperor William to Constan-
tinople. The programme OF tie En-

The Moscow papers ask if Bismarck
dreams of detaching the Greeks from the
traditions of the Russian alliance. The
Greeks attach superstitious import to he
marriage of the Duke Of Sparta and th'
Princess Sophia. An old prophecy is re-
called by the papers of Athens and repro
duced here, to the effect that the mosqu'
of st. Sophia in Constantinople will be
restored to the Christians under the rule
of Greek emperor named Constantine
with wife called Sophia, coinciding with
The Duke of Sparta's name, Constantine,
and that of the Princess Sophia, is excit-
