BERLIN, Sept. 2S.-Ths car 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 czar asks that fiaal direction for his re-
ception at Potsdam be delayed. Prince Bis
marck 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
CT r and his suite at the embassy. The czar
himself has not intimated his intention
beyond his visit to Potsdam. Emperor
William will go to Schwerin Tuesday as the
guest of the Grand Duke of Mecklenburg
According to the National Zeitung, the
czar's visit Is officially fixed for Oct. o.
The absence of N. DeGiers, the Russian
prime minister, who is now staying in a
remote part of the province of Tambo, does
not appear to affect Prince Bismarck's de-
termination to have an audience with the
czar.
WAR CLAMOR.
This week has been signalized by an out
break of war clamor by the ssm-offlcial
press. The Cologne Gazette publishes an
alarmist article on the extension of the
Russian Strategic railroads on the frontier,
which the North German Gazette promi-
nently quotes. There is a simultaneous re-
appearance of war notes i'll the chancellor's
organ. Vienna papers foment scare by
statements that the Russians along
the frontiers of Galicia and Bukovina
are in active motion. Six regiments
of cavalry and four of infantry have, they
say, arrived from the interior. Observa-
tion towers are being erected close to the
Galician frontier the whole aspect of the
country giving the impression that the
army is making strategic march. Thess
reports have been directly suppressed by
Vienna and Berlin ministers.
BIsMARCK's MOTIVE.
Prince Bsmarck's motive in creating
agitation over the czar's reception is varl-
ously interpreted Recalling incidents pricr
to the last interview the czar accorded him
here, it is obvious that the chancellor aims
to place the czar again under the necessity
of granting political conference
The reports also serve other purposes
as they tend to balK Russia's efforts to nego-
tiate loan for the payment Of the cost Of
repeating rifles ordered in France and per-
suade the reichstsg to accept the new mill
tary bill, which is now known to involve an
extra credit of 240, 100000 marks.
THE BoURsE NOT ALARMED.
But if the indifference shown by the
bourse over the attempted scare forecasts
the feeling Of the reichstag, Prince Bis
marck will fad the members less susceptible
than formerly to the old trick The czar's
aversion to meeting the chancellor or to
giving his visit any character other
than that of formal courtesy has
been intensified by the projected
Journey of Emperor William to CONSTANT
nople. The programme of the emperors
tour is now an Aounced to include visit to
Bucharest, which will further annoy the
cZar. Moscow papers ask If Prince Bis
marck dreams Of detaching the Greeks
from the traditions of the Russian ALI
ance.
A GREEK SUPERSTITION.
The Greeks attach superstitious import to
the marriage OF the Duke of Sparta and
Princess Sophia. An old prophecy is re-
called by the papers of Athens and repro
duced here to the effect that the mosque Of
S.. Sophia ia Constantinople will be restored
to the christians u ader the rule of @ Greek
emperor named Constantine, with a wife
called Sophia. The coincidence of the
Duke Of Sparta, named Constantine, and
that of Princess Sophia is exciting the
imaginatlons of all the Gresks as hopeful
auglr Of coming events, feeli 6 which
Prince Bismarck will take advantage Of
Emperor William will be accompanied to
ConstanJinople by the empress, who will
stay on the imperial yacht while the sultan
entertains his majesty.
THE REICHgTAg
The reichstag is expected TO meet Nov. 4.
Regrouping of the parties is inevitable.
The ultra conservatives announce their de-
termination to break from ths Cartel party,
as it is becoming too liberal. Herr Miguel,
speaking at Frankfort, declared that
IL was necessary to reconstruct the
groups. The existing parties, he said,
we're the products Of the past and
out Of date Present party programmes are
utterly unedapted to deal with the questions
of the immediate future. The proSressives
understand Herr Miguel as foreseeing a
break up Of the national liberals, but the
nationals are sanguine that the party viii
be strengthened by the absorption of fac
ton OF the center party, aud closer union
with the hberal-conservatives
FAVORED BY BISMARCK.
Prince Bismarck is favoring aims Of
Herr Benngsen and Herr Miguel, aud
other leaders of the nationals He will
offer Herr Miguel the post of finance min-
ister. replacing Herr Scholz, whose eye
malady grows worse. These pr6sDec tive
changes do not threaten seriously Pri ncs
Bismarck's hold over the Cartel party, |
though they are likely to weaken the gov
ernmentis majority in the new House.
The Post tonight semi-officially denies
that Count Won Munster has resigned as
German ambass dor TO France. A report 10 |
that effect was part of the current rumors
that Count Hatzfeldt would be transferred |
to Paris. Count Won Waldersee going to
London.
The Post does not contradict the Won
WaIdersee rumor Prince Bismarck is
again intriguing with the emperor to send |
Won Waldersee to high diplomatic post
in which Bismarckian craft viii succeed in
exposing him to adverse criticism.
Won wALDERsEE's PROSPECTS,
Count Won Waldsrsee was last year
offered the Vienna embassy, but got the
emneror's permission TO decline it. The
fs now reported TO be urging the
ernneror. il be desires Count Won Waldersee
To become chancellor, that he must train
him in statesmanship through diplomatic
experience
EXECUTIONS BY ELECTRICITY.
The emperor has instructed the ministry
of Justice to report on execution by cleo
tricits. He is in favor Of this method Of
execution II It will produce a painless
death with absolute certainty. He reads
everything attainable on the scientific side
Of The question, and has sent the ministry
