BERLIN. Oct. 3.-An official dispatch from
'redensborR, received in this city to-day,
nnounced that the czar and czarina are
xpected to arrive there on Tuesday. Their
laiesties mar remain at Fredensborg until
fter the celebration Of their silver wedding
anniversary, the 2Sth inst, returning TO St.
Petersburg via Berlin. Ihere is nothing to
Indicate that the meeting of the czar and
Emperor William will be invested With Dip
omatio Importance. It will probably be q
brief visit Of coErtasy. The Russian snl-
bassy in this city has not received any In
btruetions regarding the visit Of the
bzRr. II ID now believed that the emperor
will meet him at the railroad station and
Lfter a short interview the ozar will pro-
,sed homeward. Despite protestations Of
peace which are heard on all sides, the re-
ations between the governments OF Ber-
lin and 81. Petersburg remain strained.
The suppression of German subscriptions
10 tho new Russian loan is resented by
Visnegradslsi, Russian minister Of finance,
Who looks upon il as a trick Of Chancellor
von Caprivi. Regarding the czar's pres
ence in Berlin, journalists who are obliged
10 record the event have not agreeable an
ticipations Of their duties. Precau-
tions which have been taken to pre-
vent any but officials approaching
}the czar are 80 strict that
even authorized representatives of the press
( will be kept at distance. Journalists who
were allowed access to the railroad station
Hast week when the oZar was hurrylng
Through Berlin on his way to Moscow, were
locked up in waiting room and only got
glimpse Of his majesty through window
las ne alighted from the train and was
greeted by Prince Leopold, who was doing
tho honors in the absence of the emperor.
They had to wait patiently for an hour
while the czar devoured sandwiches and
drank cup after cup OF tea. His capacity
for eating appears 70 be accompanied by
capacity for drinking, eaeh eap pe,nG plen-
Replies to inquiries made OF leading
wholesale dealers here and in Hamburg re-
garding the trade in American pork, show
that il is still very limited. The cost of in
spection in America, combined with tho
duty still imposed here, prevents the popu- 3'.
price for salted Amerionn pork rules about
81 marks per hundred weight, while cured
German bacon sells ut IS marks. Dealers
are combining in an attempt to get the gov
ernment to reduce the duty, which is now
10 marks per hundred. Until this Is done
no marked impetus will be given to trade
in American pork.
A rescript providing that foreign insur-
anoe compnnies must invest in Prussinn
consuls is largely due to the influence Of
German companies, which have become
Jealous of the amazing SUCCESS OF American
companies, which are now acquiring tho
greater part of the insurance business
throughout the country. The order will,
without doubt, operate greatly to the injury
Of many foreign companies. None of the
great American companies will likely
be obstructed in business, the
rescript having been long fore
seen BY them and preparations to meet
it made.
Socialist Wildberger, who is an ardent
opponent of the policy advocated by Bebel
and Liebknecht, has been elected delegate
to the EHurt congress from the provincial
district. This success Of the extremists.
following the election of two members of
that branch of the party as delegates from
the Fifth district of Berlin, strengthens the
hopes of members of the section who desire
to effect the overthrow Of the present cen-
tral directing committee.
Charles Murphy, special agent Of the
United States agricultural department, is
in the city. Murphy's visit is for the pur-
pose of bringing to the attention OF the
authorities the value of Indian corn as an
article Of food. A committee Of officers
from the medical and commissary depart
ment of the army has been appointed to in
vestigate the matter. %
