GAR AND KAISER.
THE INTERVIEW AT NARvA AND
ITS RESULTS.
William Said to Have Accomplished His
Purpose-The Czar to Visit Berlin at
an Early Date-Bismarckian Journals
Ire Aroused.

Copyrighted, 1890, by the Associated Press.l
BERLIN, August 23.-Tonight the news
from Peterhof conveys the distinct i'm
preston that the imperial meetings
have been highly satisfactory to EN-
peror William. The officials of the
foreign offlce, admit there that
was immense political significance
in the interview. Advices from various
reliable sources all confirm the announce
ment that Emperor William desires that
another European congress be held, as
preliminary to the cessation of further
armaments. Whatever the nature of
the inducements offered the Czar, it is
certain he has met the Emperor's over
lures favorably. Is, 4.-.s,. ; 4.s..i.s...y
Since De Giers' first conference with
Chancellor Won Caprivi, communica-
tions have been passing between the
authorities here and at Vienna with
view to expediting meeting between
the Emperors William and Francis
Joseph. Australian official circles
regard the impending change in
position with intense distrust.
Hence the semi-official press at Vienna
throw doubt on the probability of hold
ing another European congress, and pro-
TESS incredulity as to the en-
peror's presence at Peterhoff
causing great political transition.
At the fame time there comes
from Vienna the report that the EN-
peror William has asked the emperor of
Austria for conference within fort
night, preparatory to the projected re-
ception Of the Czar in Berlin in October.
The Munich Neueste Nachrichten states
that the Gar and the Emperor's
William and Francis Joseph, will meet
on Austrian soil before definitely agree
ing to the holding of congress.
After banquet tonight, the emperor
will start for Kronstadt on board the
Imperial yacht Hohenzollern. His mai
esty proceeds to Locotzen, where he will
witness an attack upon the Notifications
there. He will arrive at Potsdam on
Friday. His new departure as regards
his foreign policy, though only vaguely
known, has aroused the ire of the old
Bismarckian press.
ST.. PETERSBURG, August 23-The Gar
and Emperor William have arrived at
Perterhof palace, from Narva. The Czar
has conferred the decoration of the order
of st. Andrew upon Chancellor Won Cap
rivi. 1t is stated that the Gear and
Czarina have promised Emperor William
that they will visit Berlin in October.

FATAL CONCUSSION.

Atlantic and Pacific.
A Broken Coupling Causes a
Big Smashup.
The Wreck Intensified by a Powder
Explosion.
"A Wild Engine Adds to the Excitement
Mike Cramer, of Los Angeles,
Fatally Injured.


NEEDLES, Cal, August pa wreck
and explosion occurred on the Atlantic
and Pacific road near Homer, about 80
O'Clock this morning. A double header
freight train was coming into Needles,
when the train parted, and afterwards
collided, causing the explosion OF some
powder in one of the cars. Eleven cars
were derailed, and some Of them blown
to pieces. Freight and merchandise
were scattered around for several hun
,dred yards, and the ground for some dis
tance was excavated by the explosion.
Mike Cramer, Of Los Angeles, boiler
maker, sustained fracture of the thigh,
and internal injuries which may prove
fatal. An Indian trackman was fatally
injured. Fireman Tison was seriously
injured about the body and knee, and
seI eral Indian railroad hands more or
less hurt.
Just after the explosion occurred, the
head engine became disconnected, and
having no one in the cab, tore down the
track at a frightful rate of speed, just
behind the east bound mail and express
train, and had not a night yardman
changed the switch in time, would have
dashed into the rear end of
the Pullman and car doubtless caused a
fearful loss of life. AS it was, she
collided in the Needles yard with
another engine, completely wrecking
the two.
The wreck is being cleared and travel
will be resumed tonight.

welcoming him on his return from the
convention. They made very fine
showing..on the streets, as fully 1000 were
in line and they were stretched out long
way apart, but there was very little en-
thusiasm evinced by the crowds as they
marched along and loud cheers for the
"Pond lily' were heard ON all sides.
The process ion was badly managed and
was far from being a success.
1t was after nine O'Clock before the
head of the procession reached tie
pavilion in which the exercises were
held, and some delay was caused in
waiting for the end to arrive. Finally
all were seated, with lots of room to
spare, and to the tune of the "red, white,
and blue" Col. Markham and Mayor
Hazard marched in front of the plat
form arm and arm and, took their seats,
amid loud cheers.
After the band had discoursed the
