BERLIN, August 3.-Prince Bismarck g
narrower to bring about meeting of the
three Emperors has been foiled by the
sullen reticence of the Czar who has not
deigned to acknowledge the communica-
tion of Count Sonouskloff, informing him
that Emperor Francis Joseph and Emperor
William are. favorable to an interview.
The language of the semi.offcial papers
of st. Petersburg is studiously designed
to divest the visit of any tendency to a
restoration of amity.. The Gear is
described as too we'll experienced with
Bismarck's 3 finesse to allow himself to
again be duped. With unshakan firm.
ness he refused to listen to any overtures
unless preceded by recognition of Rue.

Balkan peninsula.
The ominous outlook on the Servo-Bul-
garian frontier, where both governments
are massing troops, the rising in Crete
and the concentration of the Russians
around Kars, discourages the hope that
the Cars journey will be anything but
formality which he would avoid if pos.
sible. The Foreign Office does not ex-
pect him to come to Berlin. He will go
direct from Stettin to Pottedam, where
he will stay one night, and then proceed
to Copenhagen by way of Kiel.

NAVAL FRAUDS AND OTHER AFFAIRS.
Inquiry into the Kiel navy frauds
proves that corrupt practices have been
in operation since 1884. Wood and iron
sent to Kiel for construction purposes
was duly signed for and then secretly
sold in England. Chief Constructing
Engineer Pannecke is the principal in
the scheme. Bremen officials are also
involved. The Emperor insists upon the
utmost secrecy, and will allow only the
sentences which are imposed to be pub
lished.
