BERLIN, Oct. 3.-An official dispatch
from Fredensborg received in this city to-
day announces that the czar and czarina are
expected to arrive there Tuesday. Their
majesties may remain at Fredensborg until
after the celebration Of their silver wedding
anniversary, which occurs on Oct. IS, re-
turning to st. Petersburg via Berlin. There
ia nothing to indicate that the meeting Of
the czar and Emperor William will be in
vested with diplomatic Importance, 1t
will probably be a brief visit of
courtesy. The Russian embassy in this
city has not received any instructions re-
garding the visit of the czar. 1t is believed
TINT the emperor will meet him at the rail-
road station and that after short inter
view the czar will proceed on his homewnrd
journey. Despite the protestations of peace
which are heard on all sides, the relations
between the governments at Berlin and st.
Petersburg remain strained
GEhMAN1 AND IhE l4ORNs
The suppression of the German subscrip-
tions to the new Russian loan is resented by
M. Vishnegradski, the Russian minister Of
finance, who looks upon it as a trick of
Chancellor Won Caprivi, who NJ. Vishne-
gradski says, first induced Berlin bankers to
believe that he favored the issue ana then
Unanswered for It's Abandonment. Tee
Mendlessohns and Warschauer, who held
large proportion of the ISSUE hava been ad-
vised from st. Petersburg that they will
continue to be the responsible members OF the
syndicate negotiating the loan. In view of
the present state Of tho feeling OF
rive French people they adhere to
their contract willingly, expecting to
realize q considerable sum on the rising Of
the price Of the bonds due to the eager alb
sorption of the issue by French investors
The press attacks upon the loan extend to
Russian stocks generally calling to mind
and bcurses tabooed everything Russian.
Then the Argentine and other foreign loans
filed the vacuum left by the withdrawal of
Russian securities Now, according to the
bourse reports, the way is being cleared for
large operations in American shares Of
various kind.
ROUGH ON THE REPORTERS.
Regarding the czsr's presence in Berlin
journalists who are obliged to record the
event have no agreeable anticipations of
their duties. The precautions which have
been taken 30 prevent any but officials ap-
preaching the czar are so strict that even
the authorized representatives Of the press
will be kept at distance. Journalists who
were allowed access to the railroad station
last week, when the car was hurrying
through Berlin on his way to Moscow, were
locked up in the waiting room, and only
got a glimpse of his majesty through
DIV h. LIZ
the train and was crested by Prince Leo
pold, who was doing the honors in the alb
sence of the emperor. They had TO wait
patiently for an hour while the czar de-
Voured sandwiches and drank cup after
cup of tea, after which they saw him de-
part. His capacity for eating appears to
be accompanied by a capacity for drinking,
each cup of tea being pientifully laced with
rum instead of milk.
TRADE IN AMERICAN PORK.
Replies to inquiries made of leading
wholesale dealers here and at Hamburg
regarding the trade In American pork show
that it Is still very limited. The cost of in
spection in America combined with the
duty still imposed here, prevents popular
sale OF the American hog prod
uct. The price for salted
American pork rules about 81
marks per hundred weight, while cured
German bacon sells at 5S marks. Dealers
are combining in an attempt to get the gov
ernment to reduce the duty, which is now
10 marks per 100 pounds. Until this Is
done no marked impetus will be given to
the trade in American pork.
FOREIGN INSURANCE COMPANIES.
The reseript providing that foreign in
surance companies must invest in Prussian
consuls is largely due to the influence Of the
German companies, which have become
jealous of the amazing success of the Amer
lean companies, which are now acquiring
the greater part of the insurance business
throughout the country. The order will ,
without doubt, operate greatly to the in
jury of the foreign companies, whose
constitutions oblge the to invest
portion of their profits in specified securi-
ties. Thus, an important French company
lie Conservatory, whicn operates 10 Western
Germany, will probably be obliged to with
draw from business. None of the great
American companies operating here, how
ever, is likely to bs obstructed in its busi-
ness. The rescript has been long foreseen
by them, and petitions to meet it have been
made.
THE SOCIALIST CONGRESS-.
Socialist Wildberger, who is an ardent
opponent of the policy advocated by Herren
BeDel and Liebknecht, has been elected
delegate TO the Erfurt congress from the
provincial district. This success of the ex-
tremists following the election of two other
members of that branch of the party as
delegates from the Fifth district of Berlin
strengthens the hopes of the members of the
section who desire to effect the overthrow
of the present central directing committee.
The FOtES-Zeitung, commenting upon the
evolution of the socialistic party, says lb
has no doubt Of the triumph of
the moderate branch and contends that
German socialism is receding more aud more
from the methods Of disorder and seeks COM
bat solely on the question OF legal govern
ment.
NO EXPOSITION PROBABLE.
Inquiries made of the chambers of COM
merce of the various cities in relation to the
projected international exhibition in Berlin
in 1894 evoked responses from l2S of the
chambers. OF this number eighty-two are in
favor of the exhibition and OF these thirty
urge that it ought to be universal. Twen-
ty-scvea decline TO express any opinion re-
garding the projec., while the remainder
are hostile to any exhibition, national or in
ternational. The absence of all enthusiasm
in regard to the project and the entire lack
Of unanimity settles the fate of the exhibi-
tion, at least for 1894. The general opinion
seems to be that it would not be
advisable to hold an universal
exhibition until a number Of years shall
have elapsed after the close Of the Chicago
rld's fair. The collection OF works OF
Russian artists recently on exhibition here
will 90 to the Chicago fair.
