BERLIN June 5.-The visit Of the Gar which
for two years has been raising alternate hopes
and fears in the official breast, Is coming at
last The manner in which the prospect OF
the meeting has developed into certainty
illustrates how completely tho international
relations Of Russia are varied from day to day
to suit the whims Of the Car. One week ago
Alexander did not show the slightest intention
OF calling upon the Emperor before going to
Warsaw to hold his mysterious council OF war
with Gen. Gourko and the commanders OF
frontier Notifications. All the plans for q
brilliant reception in Potsdam had been
abandoned. and the Emperor. angry and cha
grned. had settled back in an attitude Of
suspicion and defiance.
On last Sunday. however. the Gar. for some
inscrutible reason. changed his mind. He
suddenly communicated to the Emperor his
wish for meeting. He was unable to como
to Berlin. he aaid. Us his physicians had
warned him against railway travel. but he

shlpboard at some convenient point of tho
coast. Tho excuse was received in official
circles here as little less fimsy than that OF
tho Emperor that he would not SO to Copen-
hagen because there was lack of room In the
royal palace. The Emperor took no pains
to conceal his opinion OF the Cars COM
municaton. and no replied CURLY that
previous engagements would render 1t diff
cult for him to arrange any meeting during
June. Informal negotiations followed. the
Gear temporarily swallowing his pride and
still pressing for an interview. To his advis-
ers. who urged him to adopt less uncompro-
missing attitude. William said that after the
Cars long and incxcusable delay in return
ing his visit in st. Petersburg. q meeting out
side OF Berlin or Potsdam was out OF the Ques-
ton. 1t was not consonant with the dignity
OF a German sovereign to accept makeshift
cail such as the Car proposed. and rather than
do So the Emperor said. he would allow all
courtesy between the courts to cease.
Matters stood thus when the news OF the be-
trothal OF the Princess Marie Of Edinburgh
and Prince Ferdinand Of Hohcnzollern-S Sig
maringen was brought to tho new palace.
Count Caprivi. Count Botho zu Eulenburg. and
Freiherr Marshall Won Bieberstein Of the
Foreign Office were then for once in agree
ment. They were unanimous in urging the
Emperor to consent to the proposed meeting.
as otherwise it would DO supposed that he
was opposed to the match. which was. un-
doubtcdly. greatly to Germany's advantage.
Tho Emperor yielded. and his consent was
telegraphcd to Copenhagen. with the condi-
ton. however. that the Car would visit Berlin
not later than next September. Tho Gar
gave the required assurance. and the final ar
rangements for the interview of KEEL were
made.
The news OF the meeting was n complete
surprise to the men who support the Govern
ment in the ReichstaG and Landtag. That tho
Emperor should accept such makeshift
courtesy was criticised as undignied and i'm
polite. The feeling among high officials Is.
however. that Germany has gained point by
having her Emperor and the Car make little
demonstration counter to the Nancy f6te. and
at the same time forcing upon the Gear the
necessity Of n state visit within the next three
m onths.
The inspired newspapers In Berlin. Vienna.
and Romo emphasize daily the absence Of all
political significance from the Kiel meeting.
Among diplomatsts. however. the feeling is
that a relief OF the tension between Germany
and Russia must result from the interview.
Personal misunderstandings. 1t Is thought,
will be removed, and the Car will be brought
to point where he will yield moro readily to
the pressure OF Russian financial circles for
more friendly relations between the empires.
The interview will be. at all events. diplo-
matists think. check upon the peril
ously high spirits OF tho Chauvinsts behind
the Nancy ftte. On the other hand the
Emperor is in supersensitive frame OF mind.
and unless treated with exceptional consdera-
ton by the Gear is likely to rake UP old quar-
rels. and give his visitor taste OF Hohenzol-
lern resentment The Gar Is the bluntest
sovereign on a European throne and has.
moreover. a deep-seated dislike Of the young
Emperor. SO. despite inspired prophecies.
there Is large element Of uncertainty and
positive danger in tho interview. Count Ca
priv. with his optimistic views Of interna-
tional affairs evidently fears nothing: other
wise he would have advised against the
meeting.
The Emperor has assigne ed to n special service
Of honor to the Gear Count Wadersee. Com
mander OF Ninth Army Corps. and Gen. Won
Villaume. Military Attnch6 OF the German
Embassy in st. Pctersburgh. He will be ac-
companied to Kicl by n full military suite and
by Freiherr Marshall Won Bieberstein Of the
Foreign Oflice.
The rumors OF reconciliation between the
Emperor and Bismarck will not down. Com
mon friends are still laboring with the old
Chancellor to persuade him to give UP his
newspaper fight against the throne and make
himself n persona grdtd at Potsdam. All OF the
Emperor's advisers. except Eulenburg. who
cannot forget that Bismarck forced him from
office In 1878. arc in favor of the reconciliation
and havo induced tho Emperor to take a
waiting attitude. Bismarck. however. remains
