BERLIN. June l4.-The serni-official
announcement in the North German
Gazette that Chancellor Won Capriu will
accompany Emperor William on his visit
TO the czar converts the meeting OF the
sovereigns from an exchange OF imperial
courtesies into a diplomatic event Count
Won SchweinitE, the German ambassador TO
Russia, arrives here from st. Petersburg
tomorrow in connection with the inter
view, which has been fixed for Aug 2
Emperor William, escorted by the squadron,
sails from Kiel to Constadt and will re-
main with the car three days. Prior to the
visit Signor Crispi. the Italian premier is
expect ed here for a conference with Chan
cellor Won Caprivi. He will see Count
Kalnoky. the Austro-H Hungarian premier, ,en
route to Berlin.
BULGARIA TO BE TALKED ABOUT.
These movements have a distinct relation
to the renewal of the negotiations for a
settlement of the Bulgarian question. This
time the negotiations were initiated at st.
Petersburg. The Russian government per-
sists in refusing to recognize Prince Ferdi-
nand, but offers to recognize Prince
Stamboulof, the Bulgarian premier. The
government, after the departure of Prince
Ferdinand, will send Russian commissioner
to Sofia to offer the people as alternative
candidates for the throne the Duke of
Leuchtenberg or Prince Karl, son of the
King Of Sweden. The Duke Of Leuchten-
berg, having married Montenegrin prin-
cess, has less chance Of acceptance by the
European powers. Prince Kari is sure of
the English governments support. After
the election OF Prince Stambouloff the
ministry will be dissolved and replaced by
Stamboulof- -Zeankoff coalition. Prince
StambouloH is ready to sacrifice Prince
Ferdinand IL his own position be assured as
a result Of the arrangement.
NEW MINISTER'S TO TURKEY.
The leading diplomats at Constantinople
have been recalled. Count Won Radowitz,
the German ambassador, Count Neideff,
Russia's representative, and Sir w. a.
White, the British diplomat. are to be re-
placed by ministers who will work together
on more friendly feeling. The leading
tendency of the changes is rather favorable
to a renewal of the czar's influence in the
Balkans but as this would not restore any
thing approaching former dominance of
the Russians, Austria may be induced to
accept solution that Will add to the gen.
eral peace.
Whatever may be the issue Of the meet
Ing at st. Petersburg. they will not involve
any changes Of the relations in the Drei-
bund. Signor Crispi goes to Friedriohsruhe
after seeing Chancellor Won Caprivi.
THE ARMY BILL.
Although the vote of the committee on
the army bill approved the essential feat.
ures OF the measure, its ultimate fate is
uncertain. The cartellers and centrists
formed a majority. but Herr Windthorst
qualified his vote by declaring that it must
not be held as prejudicing his final de-
cision. He said that during the adjourn
ment he would endeavor to ascertain the
feeling of the country on the subject. At
a meeting of the centrists Herr Windthorst
ann ounced that he had positive information
that dissolution of the Reichstag had been
resolved upon III case the military credits
were not fully conceded. The Prussian
members of the party thereupon advised the
acceptance OF the military bill.
SOUTH GERMAN MEMBERS PUGNACIoUs.
The South German members advocated
opposition to the measure, unless the term
of service in the army be reduced, and ex-
pressed a readiness to face the threats Of
dissolution. The centrists separated un-
pledged to vote as a party.
The government calculates that even If a
oOSblOh VI bhO SoutcT purify buOulu JUN b16
freisinnige volkspartie-socialist coalition
the bill would still have a small majority,
but If the bulk of the centrists should vote
against ID, the measure would be doomed.
The Cologne Gazette, predicting disso-
luton of the Reichstag, urges the govern
ment to restrict suffrage. The paper con-
tends that mere dissolution will not suffice
to secure the defeat Of the opposition. which
might return stronger than before.
wINDTHoRsT's FEARS.
II is significant that Herr Windthorst
held out as reason for his assent to the bill
suggestions that were omInous of the course
that the government might take. He said:
''If we reject the bill we bring upon our
selves great danger. 1t is not dissolution
that fear, but dread what will happen
afterward.''
Herr Richter has asked what these words
mean, adding that they will not alter the
freisinnige vote.
There has been sent to the Reichstag
large number OF petitions against an in
crease OF the army credits. Among the
places represented by these protests are
Dresden, Chemnitz, Hamburg, Munich.
Glogau, Weimar. Wurtemberg and Hesse.
A SEAT FOR BISMARCK.
A deputation of conservatives from the
Fourth district of Potsdam, which is now
unrepresented In the Reichstag on account
of the death of Wedell Malchow, went to
Friedrichsruhe yesterday to ask Prince
Bismarck to accept the candidature. He
promised to give the proposal his favorable
consideration, and this is taken to mean
that he will stand. The members of the
Reichstag already foresee that the princes
presence will produce the grouping of a
new party under his lead composed Of con-
servatives, old national liberals and small
section of the moderate Freisinnige party,
This group win prominently represent the
smaller landowners, manufacturers and
bankers who are opponents of the pro-
socialist policy, and Is certain TO secure the
support OF a number of centerists, thus
forming strong combination.
Herr Krupp has been the guest of Prince
Bismarck since Wednesday.
HOSTILITY OF THE EMPEROR.
Hostile reports to the effect that the en-
peror is becoming more a. d more enraged
over the revelations made by Prince Bis
marck in interviews and that he intends to
muzzle the ex-chancellor are laughed over
in the princes circle. Another idea is
dawning upon unfriendly critics-that is,
whether the statements made to special cor
respondents were not arranged with the |
previous knowledge and concurrence Of |
Chancellor Won Caprlvi. Prince Bismarck's |
studIously unstudied confidences have |
already assisted the foreign Office to q |
clearer view Of the tendencies OF foreign |
opinion, and have also helped to harmonic |
Caprivi's relations with several foreign |
