greatest diplomatic triumph of Prince Bis
marcks life will be achieved if he succeeds in
his latest project, which is to arrange a meeting
between the car, Emperor Francis Joseph and
Emperor William IN Berlin. News of the
cars assent tc the proposition that he should
visit the German court on Aug. % was received
at the foreign Office on Monday, causing the
greatest satisfaction. Prince Bismarck imme-
diately communicated with Count Kali
noky, calling his attention TO the op-
portunity presented by the nearly
coincident visits of the car and En-
peror Francis Joseph, and proposing that an
interview be held between the three monarchs,
as well as conferences between himself, Count
Kalnoky and NJ. De Giers the object being TO
dissipate all Misunderstanding. 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-ofiicial
press have been similarly directed to maintain re-
serve on the subject, on the ground that criticism
might alter the present favorable disposition
of the car The official circle in Vienna is less
observant of secrecy, and discusses the chances
of any interview Count Kalnoky, 1t is stated,
refuses to make any overtures to the car re-
garding a meeting with Emperor Francis
Joseph. If Bismarck persuades the car to
consent to the interview, the Austrian emperor
will postpone his coming until the 18TH He
will not be present when Emperor William
ceives the car, but will go to Kiel for the naval
review, returning afterward to Potsdam, where

of arranging an interview have been strength

The Kreus Zeifung has semi-official advices
from St. Petersburg saying: THE car, who has
frequently altered his intentions regarding the
return of the visit of Emperor William, has
now assented under the persistent entreaties of
NJ De Giers and NJ. Vishnegradski. Since the
Borki accident, the car has had a morbid
dread of railway journey, even with the entire
route guarded by select troops. He will be
accompanied to Berlin by the empress and the
whole imperial family The party will proceed
to Copenhagen after leaving Berlin"
