Majesty went to Fisenach, where be was q
guest of his uncle. the Grand Duke of SAKE
Wimar. The party enjoyed good shooting
on the Grand Dukes estates. Upon the re-
ceIpt of the news of the death of the
Duchess of Mecklenberg the Emperor i'm
mediateiy cancelled his arrangements for
the shooting and announced his intention
to attend the funeral.
The Empress, who is in q delicate condi-
ton, was removed from Berlin to her
favorite residence at POtsdam on Friday.
Her Blk children accompanied her. The
absence of a garden at the Berlin schlOsS
necessitates the children being daily driven
to the chateau Bellevue. q part of the
ThIergarten. during their residence In Ber-
lin. This explains the preference of the
Empress and her family for Potsdam.
where the grounds around the palace are
extensive.
The Empress is at present very solIcitous
about the health of the Czarina. Un-
favorable reports have been received at the

Duchess Olga, her daughter, whose spine
was injured in the Borki disaster, shows
signs of increasing gravity.
The Emperor has arranged to start OH
amonth's whaling trip July 9. A telegram
received in Berlin to-day announces that
the Gar has finally consented to visit
POtsdaln, where he Will remain four days.
Political circles are agitated over the sue
cess of Emperor William In inducing the
Gar to visit POtsdam. The visit will un-
dOubtedly greatly influence the relations
between the two empires. 1t has already
been intimated to the German journals that
it would be advisable for them to cease
their attacks upon Russia.
A GATHERING OF ROYALTY.
The approaching visits of the members of
royal families, with the consequent influx
of society. promises to give considerable
stimulus to the trade of Berlin. 1t is now
finally settled that. besides the Car. the
King and Queen of Italy the King and Queen
of Sweden and the Queen Regent and the
young Queen of Holland will arrive before
the middle of Jun The Queen Regent Of
Holland and the Queen will sOjourn in the
Black Forest for a time before coming to
POtsdam. The healti. of the young Queen
is not very robust. and it IS thought chat
the air of the Black Forest will have q very
beneficial effect upon her. RumOrs have

of Italy Will not come to Berlin. owing to
the political crisis i'll Italy. These reports.
however. are seml-Otficially denied. 1t Is
known here that the Emperor is anxious to
have a conference with King Hum bert. as
he fears that the attacks upon the Italian
military credits will force King Hum bert
to reduce Italy's European military ex-
penditnres and thus weaken the power OF
the Dreibund. The fact that the Italian
Ministry has agreed that only expenditures
for the military in the colonies shall be re-
duced is largely due to the insistence of
the German minister at Rome, supported
| by the Austrians.

States Cavalry. who has been serving a year
il the Eleventh Hussars, at Dusseldorf. ar
rived in Berlin on Monday. He was given

John Bigelow. of the Tenth Cavalry. who
Is an old schooImate of his. Lieutenant
Clarke has thoroughly studied the work
and training of the German cavalry. which
he declares to be the best In the world.
He attributes the efficiency chiefly TO the
marvellous system of breaking and train
ing young horses which prevails here. The
discipline of the German army. he saws, Is
far more strict than that of the American
army, but he did not see the slightest
cruelty on the part of the officers. Lieu
tenant Clarke Will sail for New York next
week.
An agitation has been started against
the project for a lottery TO cover the ex-
pense of identifying the approaches to the
Schloss and to greatly alter and improve
the Inter den Linden. The opponents of
the project declare that the lotteries are
increasing to an alarming exeent and that
the growing love thereof among the people
will result in q pernicious influence upon
the prosperity of the country. The En-
scheme and wOnld himself meet the eX-
pense, but the heavy drain OIL bis own OK

number of the guests rooms In the SchlosS
here, precludes him from doing so.

all the vines and fruit trees were saved.

Goerlitz. The condemned men were two
