BERLIN, July Copyright, 1889, by the
New York Associated Press The greatest
diplomatic triumph of Prince Bismarck's
life will be achieved if he succeeds in his
latest project which is to arrange ameeting
between the Car, Emperor Francis Joseph
and Emperor William in Berlin. News of
the Cars assent to the proposal that he
should visit the German court in August
was received at the foreign Office Monday,
causing the greatest satisfaction. Bismarck
communicated with Count Kalnoky, calling
his attention to the opportunity presented
by the nearly coincident visits of the Car
and Emperor Francis Joseph, and proposing
that an interview be held between the
three monarchs, as well as conferences
between himself, Count Kalnoky and M.
De Giers, the objectsbeing to dissipate all
misunderstanding.
Officials have been instructed to main
tain absolute silence. The semi-official
press has been similarly directed, on the
GROUND that criticism might alter the
present favorable disposition of the Car.
Official circles in Vienna are less observant
of secrecy, and discuss the chances of the
interview. Count KalnOky, it is stated,
has placed himself in Bismarck's hands,
but refuses to make any overtures to the
Car regarding the meeting with Emperor
Francis Joseph. If Prince Bismarck per-
suades the Gar to consent to the inter
view, the Austrian Emperor will post
pone his coming until the 18TH
The chancellor will return here
on the 18th, and remain throughout
the visit of the Car and Emperor Francis
Joseph He is supposed to be aiming not at
definite treaty of alliance involving RIs-
STA in the Central European league but
only to restablish better relations between
the three empires and to balk French
negotiations for an offensive and defensive
alliance with Russia. He has a foOthold
for a renewed entente IN the Cars in
creased intensity of hatred for Anarchists
Recent communications with st. Peters
burg regarding refugees III Switzerland is
leading to a common pressure on the Swiss
government, and will afford the basis FIR
concerted action by the three powers
against Socialists, Anarchists and Nj
hilists. \ definite understanding as to
this sphere of action would tend to modify
existing enmities.
1.-The Kreuz ZeititnG has semi official ad-
vices from st. Petersburg saying that the
Car, who has frequently altered his inten-
lions regarding the return of the visit of
Emperor William. has now aSSented under
persistent entreaties of M. De Giers and
NJ Vyshnegradsky. He will be accom-
panied TO Berlin by the Empress and the
whole imperial family. The party will
proceed TO Copenhagen after leaving
Berlin. The NdUdJ Vrem5d declares that
the Gar goes to Berlin simply as an act of
courtesy, and that his visit will have no
bearing upon the European situation, IN
less Germany changes her policy by con-
senting to satisfy the legitimate aspirations
of Russia.
Emperor William arrived at Wilhelms-
haven this morning and soon after he or
dered the admiralty to report on the arrest
of the officials in connection with the naval
frauds. Several officials left Keil tonight
for Wilhelmshaven. The papers are obliged
to maintain a reserve and only record the
fact that the arrests extend to contractors
and marine officials at Dantzig, Hamburg,
Stein, Wilhelmshaven and Berlin. The po-
sitions of the persons arrested and the
wide ramifcations of their frauds have
sent a thrill of Indignation and shame
throughout the empire.
To-days talk in official circles represents
the Emperor as furious. He is said to
have sent telegram after telegram to the
highest officials regarding the matter.
Herr Cremer, a highly placed official at
Kel, is reported to have committed suicide
after his arrest. 1t is stated that he was
found bleeding to death in his cell, having
opened the veins in the arm, and that he
died while being taken to the hospital.
The Freissinge zsitung announces the arrest
of the chief, comptroller of the Kiel
workshops, and of a merchant of Minein
who for many years has been supplying
stones for the Kiel and Wilhelmshaven
stations They are imprisoned in Berlin.
