A MEETING OF EMPER0RS
BISMARCK WORKING FOR A
DIPLOMATIC TRIUMPH

bERLiN, july SI-lhe greatest dlplO-
matte triumph of Prince B,smarck's life viii
be achieved il ho succeeds in his latest
project which is TO arrange a meeting be-
tween the czar, Emperor Francis Joseph
and Emperor William in Berlin. News of
the czar's assent to the proposal that he
should visit the German court on Aug. %
was received at the foreign Office Monday,
causing the greatest satisfaction. Prince
Bismarck Immediately communicated
with Count Kalnoky. calling his
attention to the opportunity presented
by the early coincident visits Of
the car and Emperor Francis Joseph, and
proposing that an interview be held be-
tween the three mouarchs, as well as confer
ences between himself, Count Kalnoky and
NJ. de Giers, the object being to diSsipate all
misunderstanding. The officials here
have been instructed to maintain
absolute silence. They deny all knowledge
of the cars intentions, and declare that
they cannot count even upon visit from
him. The semi official press has been simi
larly directed to maintain reserve on the
subject on the ground that criticism might
alter the present favorable disposition of
the czar.
LESS SECRECY AT VIENNA.
The official circle in Vienna is less obser-
want of secrecy and discusses the chances Of
an interview. Count Kalnoky, it is stated,
has placed himself in Prince Bismarcks
hands, but refuses to make any overtures
to the czar regarding the meeting with
Emperor Francis Joseph. Ii Prince Bis
marck persuades ths czar 10 consent to the
Interview, the Austrian emperor will post
pone his coming until Aug. IS. He will not
be present when Emperor William re-
ceives the oaar, but will go to Kiel for a
naval review, returning afterward to Pots
dan, where it IS intended the emperors
shall meet bgsgsA
The chancellor will return here on Aug.
10 and remain throughout the visits Of the
car and Emperor Francis Joseph. He is
supposed to be aiming not at a definite
treaty Of alliance involving Russia in the
central European league, but only to re-
est iblish better relations between the three
empires and balk French negotiations for
an offensive and defensive alliance with
Russia.
FooTHoLD.
He has foot hold for an entente in the
czars increased hatred for anarchists
Recent communications with st. Peters
burg regarding the plotting of refugees in
Sutherland leading to common pressure
upon the Swiss government will afford the
basis for concerted action by the three
powers against socialists, anarchists and
nihilistA A definite understanding
as TO this sphere Of action
would tend to modify existing
enmities. Even if only sembTanoe OF
amity were obtained, 1t would give new
guarantees of peace for several years
PFluce Bismarck's chances of arranging an
interview have been strengthened by the
support of the Russian ambassador, Count
Schouvaloff, but everything depends upon
the mood of the car.
HAS NOT AssENTED YET.
The Kreuz Zettttng has sem-of1cial ad-
vices from st. Petersburg saying: "The
czar, who has frequently altered his inten-
tions regarding the return OF the visit of
Emperor William, has not assented under
persistent entreaties Of Count de GIers and
Count Nishnegradski. Since the Borki ac-
cident the czar has had morbid dread of a
railway journey, even with the entire route
guarded by select tranps. He will be
accompanied to Berlin by the empress and
the whole imperial family. Tbs party will
proceed TO Copenhagen after leaving Ber-
Iin." The Russian papers, however, do not
believe that the czar's assent will be OBJ
tained by Prince Bismarck, even though
backed by Count de Giers and Count
Schouvaloff.
The NoUoe Vrennin declares that the
car goes to Berlin simply as an act Of
courtesy, aud that his visit will have no
bearing upon the European situation, unless
Germany changes her policy by consenting
to satisfy the legitimate aspirations Of
Russia.
FATE OF BREsLAU'S RIOTERS.
The severity of tho santences pronounced
on forty-eight miners, convicted at Br8slau
OF rioting during the recent strike there,
will probably lead to an appeal to the en-
peror The prisoners are all under 20 years
Of age. nnd a number OF them are not more
than Is years Old. An article in the North
German Gazette on the strikes shows an
ominous change OF front on the part of the
government toward the miners 1t
a manifest abuse of the right
of coalition Semi-ofIlcial newspapers CON
cur and predict that tie result Of the com
mission of inquiry into the miners griev-
ances will be nil, aud that the government
will cease to interfere beyond suppressing
breaches of the law.
EMPEROR WILLIAM AT wILHELMsHAvEN.
Emperor William arrived at Wilhelms-
haven this morning. AZ the imperial
yacnt was sighted entering the roads salutes
were fired by the war ships in the harbor
and by the shore batteries. When the
emperor disembarked q guard of honor on
the quay presented arms, and a band played
the national anthem. An immense crowd
including hosts of visitors, were assembled
to " rect the emperor He is brouzod and
vigorous looking. Immediately upon land
ing he sent a telegram to tho empress
who, accompanied by her four sons, left
K issenRen at o'clock this afternoon for
Wilhelmshaven. They viii remain there
until Wednesday when tire emperor will

Count Herbert Bismarck, Gen. Hahnke
and Dr. Lucanus, chief Of the civil cabinet
have gone to attend the emperor.
Count Won Waldersee will return here
He will not accompany the emperor to
England.
THE NAVAL FRAUDS.
Within an hour after his arrival the
emperor ordered the admiralty TO report
on the arrest of the officials in competition
with the naval frauds. Several officials left
Kiel tonight for Wilhelmshaven. The
newspapers are obliged to maintain re-
serve, and only record the fact that the ar
rests extend to contractors and marine Off
cials at Dantzig, Hamburg, Stettin, Will
helmshaven and Berlin. The position OF
the persons arrested and the wide Tamiflca-
lions of the frauds have sent thrill OF
indignation and shame throughout the en-
piro. To-day's talk in official circles repre-
senJs the emperor as furious. lie Is sald %

highest officials regarding the matter.
Herr Cremer, a highly placed official at
Kiel is roported TO have committed suicide
after his arrest. Iii stated that he was
