enc think. however. that his continued ef-

Gsrmony to Moscow Immediately aftor the
dsstl Of tho Grand Duchess Paul. he was per-
l,r,ly aware that tho German Emperor was
v.hin easy reach ut the frontier and was ex-
acting a telegram summoning him to the

however. to be determined and defiant only up
t. certain point: then he shrinks back from
bold action. The Car knows this character
stic Of the German Emperor well. otherwise no
would hardly venture to treat him as he has.
Tho newspapers in Germany gavo slight
hints that all was not well at the sham fight in
Williams honor during his st. Petersburg
visit. but the details Of the relations
between him and the Gar at that
limo were not asccrtained till the
Cars recent journey through the empire.
William was expected to remain q spectator at
the sham fight in question. and. in fact was

with the martial impulse that is always upper

plan OF the fight. The Gar looked on in sui

sngrily:
Il cannot endure this longerl Let an end
be put to the NONSENSE"
He ordered that the Kalooga regiment be
surrounded and compelled to surrender. This
order was executed SO promptly that before
X William realized the change in the order OF
battle. he was prisoner. The Car at the
head OF bis body enard rode up at once and
delivered his guest from custody. William
tried to treat the whole matter as a joke. and
hailed the Car as his savior. The Gar made
no answer to his remarks. however. but turned
and gslloped of. leaving William to follow or
not All this took place in the presence OF the
foreign attaches. and the gravest results were
feared. William. however. swallowed his cha
grin and ignored the insult.
During the rest OF Williams visit he was not

tons CURLY After Williams departure the
relatives and confidential advisers He is said
tohave declared that Williams airs and ner-
,ousness and incessant chatter almost drove
him crazy. His personal dislike OF the German
Emperor is said to have been the Cars sole
reason for so long delaying his return visit to
Berlin. The Car Is Il slow. phlegmatic. hard
headed sovereign swayed almost exclusively
Dyh!s lrcjuGiccs and his desire not to be
reused to unusual activity. and his dislike OF
the versatile and fiery Emperor OF Germany is
therefore constitutional and bitter.
