BERLIN, Oct. 3.-An official dispatch from
Frsdensborg received in this city to-day
announces that the Gar and Czarina are
expected to arrive there on Tuesday.
Their Maiesties may remain at Fredens-
borg until after the celebration of their sill
yer wedding anniversary on the 2Sth inst,
returning to St Petersburg via Berlin.
There is nothing to indicate that the meet
Ing of the Gar and Emperor William will
be invested with diplomatic importance. 1t
will probably be ID brief visit of courtesy.
The Russian Embassy in this city has not
received any instructions regarding the
visit Of the Gar It is believed the En-
peror will meet him at tie railroad station,
and after short Interview the Gar will
proceed hOmeWaTd.
RELATIONS WITH RUSSIA STRAINED.
Despite the rrotestations of peace which
are heard on all sides, the relations between
the governments of Berlin and st. Peters
burg remain strained. The suppression Of
German subscriptions to the new Russian
loan is resented by Vishnegradski. the Rus
sian Minister of Finance, who looks upon 1t
as a trick of Chancellor Won Capriyi.
Regarding the Cars presence in Berlin,
tie journalists who are obliged to record the
event have not any agreeable anticiPations
OF their duties. The precautions which
have been taken to prevent any but officials
approaching the Gar are so strict that even
the authorized representatives Of the press
Will be kept at distance. The journalists
who were allowed access TO tile railroad
station last week, when the Gar was hurry
E,,, lin NO IN
were locked up in the wsiting-room and
only got glimpse Of his Majesty through
window, as he alghied from the train and
was greeted by Prince Leopold, who was
doing the honors in the absence of the En-
ueror. They had to wait patiently for an
hour, " bile the Gar devoured sandwiches
aud drank cup after cup of tea, after which
they saw him depart.
IMPORTATION OF AMERICAN PORK.
Replies TO inquiries made of the leading
wholesale dealers here and in Hamburg re-
garding tie trade in American pork show
that it IS still very limited. The cost of in
specliOn IN America, combined with the
duty still imposed here, prevents the popular
sale of American hog products. The price
for salted American pork rules about "a
marks per hundredweight, while cured Ger
man bacon sells at 56 marks. Dealers are
com biuing in at attempt TO get the Govern
ii ent 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.
EESCRPT As TO INSURANCE COMPANIES.
The rescript providing that foreign insur-
ance companies must invest in Prussian
cnnsOls is largely due to the influence of the
German companies, which have become
Jealous OF the amazing success Of the AmeTl-
ca.r companies, which are now acquiring the
greater part of the insurance business
throughout the country. The order will,
without doubt, operate greatly to the injury
Oi many foreign companies. None OF the
great American companies, however. are
likely 10 be obSTucted IN their business.
The Trscript has been long fOTesten by them
ana preparations have been made TO meet it
4 SOCIALIST ELECTED.
Socialist WildbeTger, who is an ardent op-
pOnent Of the policy advocated by Bebel
and Liebkuecht has been elected a delegate
10 the kTfurt Congress from a provincial dis
triCf. This success Of the Extremists, fol-
lowing the election Of two members Of that
branch of the party as delegate from the
Fifth District Of Berlin, strengthens the
hopes Of the members of that section who
desire to effect an overthrow Of the present
Central Directing Committee.
Charles Muir nv, z special agent OF the
United States Agricultural Department, is
in Berlin. Murpny's visit is made Tor the
purpose 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 cOmmssary depart
Hents Of the army has been appointed TO in
