BERLIN, August 30.-The progress of the
negotiations for the entrance of Russia into
the European entente is indicated by the ar
rangements of the autumn meetings of the
sovereigns. Emperor Williams conference
with the Emperor of Austria is fixed for
September IA, during the maneuvers in
Silesia. The Czar will arrive at Fredens-
borg on September 20. He will stay there
until the end of the month and will come
to Berlin October2. Emperor William and
the King of Saxony will be received by the
Emperor of Austria at Vienna, and they
will go on a shooting expedition to the
Syrian Alps
The projected interview between Emperor
William, the Gar and Emperor Francis
Joseph, depends largely upon the Austrian
Governments acceptance of the terms on

vision of the Berlin treaty. The opinion of
the foreign officials here continues hopeful of
definite solution of the Balkan troubles be-
fore the end of the year. 1t is probable that
q congress ofthe powers will be held early In
the spring.
TRYING 10 CALM FRENCH FEARS.
The Gar has sent the Grand Duke
Michael, President of the Russian Council.
on a special mission to Paris, to reassure the
French Government The Moscow Gazette
seeks to calm the fears expressed by the
French press in regard to the desertion OF
France by Russia by declaring that the
Cars persistent aim is to maintain the bal
ance of power, recognizing the fact that
Russia and France have common interests
and united responsibility. France ought,
therefore, concludes the Gazette, to remain
absolutely tranquil. =
The report that Chancellor Won Caprivi
obtained a promise from M. de Giers to
abate the frontier tariff was baseless. The
question was not mooted at the conference.
A Ukase issued to-day at st. Petersburg
raises the customs duties generally 20 per
cent The fact that coffee, cocoa, tea, sugar
and coal imported through the western
frontier and Baltic ports are exempted from
the rise gives a semblance of confirmation to
the report, but practically the Ukase does
not alLer the reSCrlcLlOnS Oh the EraQe Win
Germany. The object of the Ukase is de-
clared to be to make duties levied in gold
correspond with the altered rate of exchange.
1t is further announced that the Ukase pre-
cedes general revision of the tariff.
GUARDING AGAINST RIOTS.
Prominent among the measures agreed
upon by NJ. de Giers and Chancellor Won
Capr1vi will be found one looking to inter-
national repression of the Anarchists and
Nlhilists, the CZar desiring European con-
cert on this matter. The riotous meeting of
the Berlin Socialists at Friedrichsham has
given the Government pretext for ordering
special military precautions against greater
disorders. The guards corps forming the
usual garrison here is going to the maneu-
vers, leaving only a small detachment in
charge of the depots. An infantry brigade
of the Brandenburg corps will replace the
guards.
The tumult at Friedrichsham arose from
an abusive attack made bY Herr Wittee
upon Herr Bebel. An immense majority of
those present at the meeting voted conf
dence in the party's deputies in the Reich
stag. In the row subsequent to the meeting
the mob assailed the police with stones.
The police charged the crowd with drawn
sabres. The socialist press complains bit
terly of the disgrace to the party arising
from the obstructive rowdyism of the new
section.
RESTORATION OF JEsUITs.
The Catholic Congress at Coblentz is hold
ing q three days session. Six thousand
persons are in attendance. The congress
demands the re-establishment in Germany
of all the Catholic orders, including the
Jesuits and the restoration of the Pope's
temporal power. 1t also asks for a Govern

German Africa. Thanks were voted to
Emperor William for his attempts to estab-
lish social peace. The next Congress will
be held at Batisbobonn.
A farewell dinner was given last night to
the New York riflemen who are visiting
Germany. The banquet was held in the
Senators room of the Bremen rathgkeller.
President Hanschild, of the Bremen Rife
association, toasted the guests. Mr.. Sieburg,
in reply, dilated upon their pleasant sojourn
in Germany and the comrade-like cordiality
displayed by the Bremen rifles He said
he was especially grateful for the honorary
membership in the Bremen corps conferred
upon him.
ENTERTAINING THE AMERICANS.

station, where parting orations were deliv-
cred. A large crowd was present The
New Yorkers took a special car to Bremen
haven, where reception was given them by
four rifle associations. The band
of the marine artillery played the
American anthem. After the presidents of
the rife clubs had delivered farewell
speeches the Americans marched to the quay,
and, boarding a special tend,r. proceeded to
the Fulda, which was lying in the roadstead.
Captain Sisburg addressed the Weser Rife
men from the deck of the Fulda, and there
were prolonged adieux as the vessel sped
away.
Both Emperor Francis Joseph and the
Regent OF Bavaria are mediating between
Emperor William and Prince Bismarck,
and reconciliation is almost effected.
The ninetieth birthday of General Won
Moltke will be observed by the presentation
to him OF a collective address from all the
towns in Germany and by the gift of house
at Parchim, Mecklenburg, where he was
born. Emperor William will 90 in person
to offer his congratulations.
