BERLIN, Oct. 5.-Official kilograms from
Fredensborg, received at POtsdam and
the Foreign Office tonight, say that the
Gar will start for Berlin on Thursday
next. According to the present pro-
gramme the Car will go to
Kiel, journeying thence by way of
Oldersloe and Schwarzenbeck, to Berlin.
This programme is subject to alteration.
NJ. Schirinkine. chief of the Cars secret
police. passed throu ght Berlin to-day on his
way to Kiel. He is accompanied by the In
spector of Imperial Trains. The Cars
special train, once owned by the Empress
Eugene, lies at the station here, having
come from Wirballen. There are swarms
of Russian police here. at Kiel and at the
stations along the proposed route.
Russian troops line the rails from
Wirballen to Moscow. The precautions
taken far excel those on the occasion
of the former visit of the Gar and are due
to his intense fears of an attempt upon his
life. The Czarina leaves Copenhagen OH
Oct. ~ for K9nigsberg, rejoning the Gar
at some point on the hOmeward journey.
Only Court Minister WorentzO DaschkOif
and aids-de-camp Generals Tehreine and
Richter will accompany the Car.
Under the pressing insistance of Count
Schouvalvff, the Russian ambassador to
Germany. the Gar will accord Prince Bis
marck the desired interview. As soon as
the promise of a conference was received
the semi-official press was instructed
to deny the statement that the govern
ment intended to apply to the Reichstag
for a military credit of several hundred
million marks. Tonight the National
Gazette turns upon itself, declaring that
no money demands of any importance
were ever contemplated by the govern
ment. The statement that the movements
of Russian troops were threatening the
safety of the frontier is likewise pro-
nounced exaggerated.
The Car will pass forty-eight hours
between POtsdam and Berlin. Nothing is
exne>ted to result from his meeting with
Prince Bismarck. The Moscow news
papers ridicule the idea that the
oversures unless they are well backed by
solid concessions. An uneasy feeling ap-
pears to prevail in the Austrian official
circle, it being feared that the Chancellor
is about to make a new move
ing Russian dominsnce in Bulgaria
as an inducement to draw the Gar from a
French alliance The Vienna Fremden-
blatt's article. advocating the recognition
Of Ferdinand as rince of Bull
Ss4s s@an has Sermss Sssn nsfss ages by yythsh 5ns
comment. Other semi-ofiicial papers leave
German support doubtful, although the
Vienna Cabinet is known to attach su-
preme Importance to the question.
Prince Bismarck is suspected of playing
a double game. 1t is thought that. on
the one hand, he will threaten the
Gar with movement looking to the firm
establishment of Bulgarian independence.
while on the other hand he will offer an
entente based on n proposal that Russia
shall have freer hand to deal with Bulga-
ria and intervene in Armenia.
1t is certain that if the Car receives
Prince Bismarck's proposals with cOldness,
recognition of Ferdinand by the Porte, the
the powers forming the tripal alliance and
England, will be the immediate sequence.
The Sultan has already agreed to recOg-
niZe Ferdinand. and only awaits the visit
of Emperor William before issuing a for
NAL proclamation to that effect
The preparations that are being made at
COnstantinOple for the reception of En-
peror William indicate a prolonged stay. 1t
is reported that he will remain two weeks
at the Turkish capital. He will be accom-
length of the EmperOr's visit is attributed
to an intention to inquire into the cOndi-
ton of the Iurkish army, and to test the
statement of German officers that the
| Porte is still able to maintain a standing
army of 100000 men.
The news from Athens that a fever il
ravaging the populace there, and that sew
eral court officials are among the victims
alarms the imperial circle. The Emperor
is due at Athens on the 2sth inst. If the
epidemic continues the marriage fetes will
be curtailed. The present programme OF
three days fetes and q review of 23.OOC
troops will be reduced to quiet marriage
ceremony.
