BERLIN, July 27.-The greatest diplo-
matte triumph of Prince Bismarck's life
will be achieved if he succeeds in his
latest project, which is to arrange a
meeting between the Gear, Emperor
Francis Joseph and Emperor William, in
Berlin. News of the Cars assent to the
proposal that he should visit the German
Court on August 23d was received at the
Foreign Office Monday, causing the
greatest satisfaction. Bismarck immed-
lately communicated with Count Kali
noky, calling attention to the opportun-
ity presented by the nearly coincident
visits of the Gear and the Emperor Fran
els Joseph, and proposing that an inter,
view be held between the three Mon
archs, as well as conferences between
himself, Count Kalncky and M. de
Giers, the object being to dissipate all
misunderstandings.
Officials here have been instructed to
maintain absolute silence. The semi
official press has been similarly directed
on the ground that criticism might alter
the present favorable disposition of the
Czar. Official circles in Vienna are less
observant of secrecy, and discuss the
chances of an interview. Count Kali
noky, it is stated, has placed himself in
Bismarck's hands, but refuses to make
any overtures to the Gar regarding q
meeting with Emperor Francis Joseph
If Prince Bismarck persuades the Czal
to consent to an interview, the Austrian
Emperor will postpone his coming unit
the 18th.
OBJECT OF THE MEETING.

press and whole Imperial family. Th

The Nouoe Vremya declares that The
Czar goes to Berlin simply as an act o
courtesy, and that his visit will have n,
bearing upon the European situation
unless Germany changes her policy b,
consenting to satisfy the legitimate aspi
rations of Russia.
