BERLIN, April 4.-Count Schouvaloff, the
Russian ambassador here, returned to tho
Russian embassy from St. Petersburg yes.
terday and Immediately held conference
with Chsucellor Won Caprivi A commu>
nication has appeared In the North German
Gdzstte saying that the rumor of the trans
fer OF Russian troops to the Galician FROM
tier is unfounded. The communication
further says that the bestowal of the
order Of ST. Andrew upon President
Carnot was merely an act Of courtesy upon
the part of the czar in return for funeral
honors rendered the Duke Of Leuchtenberg.
This feeble official reference is worse than
absolute silence Count Sohouvaloff's leave
was cut short a fortnight. Prince Lobanof,
the Russian ambassador at Vienna, had his
congo from the embassy abridged several
weeks through the czar's sudden decision to
institute a more energetic policy.
CARNoT GOING TO MOSCOW.
Moscow papers, simultaneously with Rus
sian organs in Paris and Brussels, report
that President Carnot is going to Moscow,
ostensibly to visit the French exhibition Of
arts and industries which is TO be opened
there in Nav. An article in La France
says that the pretense OF President Carnot
going to Moscowis obviously a feeler for
the purpose of eliciting public opinion.
President Carnot's going or not going will
not alter the fact that the alliance between
France AID Russia, recently accomplished,
vastly hightens the danger and accelerates
the approach Of war.
The chiefs of the dreibund will act il
unison with Lord Sail, bury in reference to
the Bulgarian lmbroglio. Their concerted
policy consists in simply refusing to inter
fere or to permit interference in the Bal
kans.
THE SOFIA INCIDENT.
A significant incident has just occurred
In Sofia. Baron Won WaDgeheim, the Ger
man consul at Sofia, telegraphed to Chan
cellor Won Caprivi for instructions as to
how he should respond to Premier Stambu-
lofts demand for the surrender of M, Soch-
ivokoff, who is accused of sending
menacing letters to Prince Ferdinand
aud his mother, Princess Clemen5ine, and
to M. Greascof, the Bulgarian minister OF
foreign affairs. Baron Won Waugehim
represents Russia since her own minister
has been withdrawn. Won Caprivi in
stantly authorized the surrender of NJ.
