fortunate fruits of England's attach
ment to the triple alliance are the ces-
sation of the Servo-Bulgarian war
preparations and the simultaneous suS-
pension of the Cretan rising. The
swiftness of the combined diplomatic
action of England, Germany, Austria
and Italy upon the Cretan question, as
propounded by the Greek note to the
powers, is the result of previous I'M
Outstanding of the powers with Turkey
on united action in the East. The
Greek note, which threatened armed
intervention in Crete, inspired as it
was by Russia, met with a decisive
response from the four powers within
history like it for rapidity of diplomatic
action, with a straightforward assertion
of a definite policy. The porte, in a
circular note received here to-
night, issued under the concert of
the four powers, repudiateS the
charges of the Greek note that Turkish
misrule is solely responsible for the
Cretan inSuTrection. 1t asserts that the
reforms demanded by the Christians
have been readily granted, and that the
people would remain peaceful if they
were not melted by Greek agitators.
The porte's response does not allude
to the leading point of the arrangement
on which the four powers depend for
the settlement of the Cretan troubles,
namely: That a Christian governor
with a mixed Christian and M0slem
council, elected by the people, shall
constitute the government after the
present troubles are over. A semi
official article in the Journal de st.
Petersburg admits that the prOmpti-
tude Of the decision of the powers has
prevented the movement from assuming
proportions which would menace
THE PEACE OF EUROPE,
and that the Servian governments
abandonment of the muster Ell masSe of
all the reserves is as certainly due to
the influence of Prince BiSmarck'S
league of peace. Only portion of the
reserves is now ordered out for formal
inspection. These diplomatic successes
inspire the foreign Office here with
brighter hopes of drawing Spain into
the league. The Italian government,
having better relations with the Spanish
than has Germany, has been entrusted
with the carrying on of the negotia-
tions at Madrid, and sends Sgr. Cialdini
as special envoy. If Sgr. Cialdini sue
ceeds in perfecting an arrangement
similar to that with England, Prince
Bismarck will have so ringed France
with circle of powers hostile
to a war of revanche as to guaran-
tee permanent peace and a proba-
BILE reduction of the armamentS.

William and the empress to visit Mad

with overtures for an understanding.
If the present plans are carried out
Emperor William will go in the impe-
rial yacht to Lisbon in September and
thence to Madrid. Emperor William
and Prince Henry arrived at Wilhelm
haven this afternoon and Immediately
proceeded by special train to Berlin.
Prince and Princess Bismarck came to
Wilhelm's StrasSe from VarZin to-
night. The emperor's impressions of
England, as freely made known
through his mother, the eX-empress, are
enthusiastically appreciative. Writing
to his mother from Osborne house, after
the naval review at Spithead, the en-
peror described the magnificent view of
the line of English warships ten miles
long passing before him. as a surprising
proof of the tremendous
STRENGIH OF GREAT BRITAIN,
conveying new ideas OF her preponder-
ance of power throughout the world.
The emperor'S sOjOurn at Osborne has
certainly tended to renew the friend
ships previously existing between the
members of the two royal families.
Queen Victoria sent telegram to the
eX-empress describing the happiness
she experienced from her grandson's
presence, and the warmth of feeling
he showed toward herself and her chill
dreD. The eX-empress, in responding,
thanked her mother for the good news,
which she received with deep Joy. The
visit Of the Prince of Wales to Berlin,
which is arranged for tie end of Sep
tember, will seal the renewal of family
cordiality. The empress came
to-day from PotSdam, and Princess
Henry, with her baby, from Darn
stadt, to meet their husbands here.
Emperor JJseph's arrival is timed for
Monday at 5 p. m. The ceremonial of
his reception will be similar to that of
King Humbert'S, although he has asked
on account of his recent affiiction. a
very quiet welcome. Under den Lin
den will be decorated in the style usual
on the occasion of a mOnarch's entry
into the city. Popular curiosity is not
excited over the visit, public interest
being centered in the czar's coming,
which is now fixed for the Goth inst.
The burgomaster applied to the foreign
Office for advice as to how to prepare
for the cZar's visit. He was told that it
was doubtful if the czar would enter
Berlin, although he would stay -four
days at Potsdam. His morbid dread
of facing a crowd prevents a visit
to the capitol. The programme for
the visit is subject to alterations. de-
pending upon the police reports regard
ing the safety of the various routes.
According to the present arrangements,
the Russian imperial family will leave
the Peterhof palace on board the Der
java Oh the oath, reaching Stettin on the
following day. The cZarina and her
children will proceed thence to Copen-
hagen, while the cZar, accompanied by
Emperor William, will come to Pots
dam, where reviews and state banquets
will be held. The car will afterward

view. From there he will go to Copen-
hagen.
NUMBERS OF RUSSIAN DETECTIVES
have already been stationed at Berlin
Stettin and PotSdam. Officials of the
Russian embassy assert that the cZar in
tends to hold limited reception at the
embassy, and the lavish preparations
that are being made confirm the state
ment. WOrkmen are engaged day and
night in decorating the interior of the
building. The Kreuz Zeitung, referring
to the statement of Gen. Boulanger that
