peace alliance was aggressive and d.
rected toward the realization of the objects
OF the Berlin treaty, and as a final stroke
that all the great powers, excepting France,
were united to prevent or shorten the
European conflict.
1t is believed the presence of the English
squadron at Klel was meant to impress upon
the car the fact of English cooperation, Just
as Emperor Williams visit to CONSTANT
nople marked the absorption Of Turkey into
the peace league. Bismarck is represented
as advising the car that in view of this
coalition Russia had better adopt policy of
Cancellation, recognize Prince Ferdinand as
the ruler of Bulgaria, and aid the other great
powers in efecting a permanent peace pro-
gramme that will ultimately result in de.
creased artnaments and increased prosperity.
The chllcollors Il l,ity to ward Austria is
not now doubted in Vienna official circles.
Immediately upon his return here on Thurs
day Prince Bismarck received the Austrian
ambassador. Articles published in the
Abend Post and the Fremdenblatter on the
following day express supreme confidence
that nothing will be done in Berlin to
weaken the mutual ties. The Fremdenblat-
ter hopes that the meeting will have weighty
ing also as to the objects of allied powers and
induce the car TO assist in giving Europe q
sense of permanent peace
The official press here remains silent on
the probable results until the czar's depart
ure. The National Gazette records the i'm
pressions of the highest circles that the visit
will increase the cordiality OF the relations
between the two monarchs without altering
the political situation.
The Cologne Gazette trusts that the car
will realize the fact that no power in the Eu-
ropean alliance desires aught but peace, and
that the alliance relies upon its strength to
enforce peace.
Gracious behavior of the czar toward Bis.
marck at last evenings dinner is notable
change from his aversion to accord the chan
cellor an interview.
After the banquet the guests adjourned TO
thepcture gallery, where the czar chatted
with the chancellor freely. While convers-
ing, the czar noticing that Bismarck stood,
wheeled his arm chair toward him, referred
to his long days exertlons and begged him to
sit down. While the chancellor was thus
seated the car remained standing, bending
over him and talking in an obviously unre-
strained and good-humored manner. The
emperor was highly pleased by the czar's
attentions.
Prince Bismarck returns to Fredensruhe
on Tuesday. Prior to his departure he will
hold q Ministerial council, at which the
emperor will preside. This will be the last
council before Emperor William starts for
Italy. In the absence of the emperor and the
chancellor Herr Won Boetticher will read the
speech from the throne at the opening of the
reichstag.
The emperor has permitted Count Won
Waldersee to give free vent to his irritation
at the attacks of the press upon his suspected
aspirations for political power. Writ
ing to the National Gazette, Count
Won Waldersee protests against
these insinuatons. He declares
that he serves the emperor as a soldier; that
he is no partisan, and that he does not want
TO be dragged into political discussions. The
letter is associated with a general overturR-
ing OF the ultra conservatives. The North
German Gazette makes the leaders of the
ultra conservatives responsible for the state
ments of their party organ, the Kreuz
Zeitung, which fixes upon Count Won Walder-
see the stigma of cooperation in intrIgues
against the chancellor and Count Herbert
Bismarck.
The Cartel newspapers do not hesitate to
trample upon the fallen foe. They are not
content with the withdrawal of Baron Ham
mersteen from the conservative committee
and the submissive attitude of the ultra con-
servatives, but demand nothing short Of the
dissolution of the extreme right and its alb
sorption Into the Cartel party Meanwhile
the ultra conservatives, thoroughly disor-
ganized and cowed into silence, await the re-
assembling of the whole group after the
opening of the reichstag, when an effort will
lie made to reorganze under new leaders.
Pastor Stoecker has reappeared from his
retirement and has resumed, IN defiance of
the emperor, his political agitation in the dis
trct of Silgen.
Baron Struve, who has been absent from
his post at the Russian legation at Washing.
ton during the past year on account of the
illness and death of his wife, has arrived
here en- route TO America.
MIR. Phelps, the United States minister
here, gave Baron Struve dinner at the
Kaiserhof hotel. A number of Americans
and old friends Of the baron seized the op
portunity to meet him again. Count Schou
valoff the Russian amb mbassador here, was pres
ent, facing Mr. Phelps at the table. At th
conclusion of the dinner Herr Wangeman
Mr.. Edison's German manager exhibited tn,

pecially delighted with it and promised tina
the car would inspect the instrument If h,
had time.

attic court of Hamburg and noted authorit
