BERLIN. June 1.-THE meeting OF Emperor
william and Car Alexander in KEEL is tho sub
ject OF u vast mass Of gossip and speculation.
Contrary to the general expectation. all re-
ports agree that tho meeting was exception
ally cordial In the public demonstration. Both
rulers wero oil smiles and embraced with mp
parent affection. Tho Cars aim seemed to
be TO show that his absence from Berlin was
not due to personal inclinations. Naturally
nobody outside OF tho Cabinet knows what
took place in the private interview OF half an
hour. but 1t was apparent when the monarchs
were done that both had relieved their minds
and were pleased with the result.
Tho KGlnsche Zeituno says that tho Car
assured tho Emperor that under no circum-
stances would Russia support France In an
effort to regain tho lost provinces. This Is
about tho only detail for which any reputable
newspaper has venturcd to vouch. and in view
of the presence OF the Grand Duke Constan-
tine in Nancy most persons nre inclined to
doubt its accuracy. Emperor William did not
know of the Grand Dukes presence until aftor
tho Car had departed. and when tho news
was broken to him he did not try to conceal
his astonishment Nevertheless the best In
formed newspapers in home. Vienna. and this
city nro unanimous in their opinion that the
events OF the past week point toward peace.
despite the constant reports OF the massing
OF troops in Russian Poland. and tho k'e1z
Zeit,tno's announcement that several regi-
ments in Gourko's command have been Or
dered to take tho field. sleep in tents. and
carry tho full amount OF ammunition.
Count Schouvalofr. Russian Ambassador
here. is said to have talked with the Empe-
ror about the Grand Duke Constantines
Nancy visit with view to encouraging
the hopes Of the peace party at court. The
rather fimsy excuse for the Grand Dukes ac-
ton seems to have been that Russia did not
wish to drive France to desperation by isolat-
ing her too much. When the Gar decided
upon the Kiel meeting he Is said to have
planned the Grand Dukes Nancy visit as a
counter demonstration so as to quiet frances
apprehension that she might BIO left In tho
lurch. Should France become convinced that
Russia supported her in only half-hearted
way she would It was argued. redouble her
endeavors to loosen the ties OF Italy to the
Triple Alliance. The present time Is especially
propitious for such efforts. as the 1rredentists
are getting themselves together for strong
fight In the next general election. Should
France. moreover. take advantage Of Italy 8
internal confusion to thwart the designs OF
Germany and Austria. the direst consequences
would be likely.
As matters stand. France has Russa's half
hearted support and is tolerably content.
Eminent Germans in st. Petersburg say that
Russia will never consent. unless driven. to a
through thick and thin alliance with France.
and that IN Russian court circles the French
alliance is q subject Of ridicule. They
believe. therefore. that Germany should
leave we'll enough alone. and let France
hug In contentment tho delusion that
she has powerful hacker for her
every dispute. That there is kernel OF
truth In this view OF the case hos been shown
by occasional leaders in the Figaro and other
French dailes. to the effect that France must
aid Russia mole GENEROUSLY with m oney II she
expected the lntters full support. One leader
cited appeared in the Figaro. and had as Its
text picture In the Berlin Kladderddtsch,
which represented an Am rican fleet entering
u Itussian harbor with loads Of grain while a
Frenchman stood In his little boat playing the
arscilai,e."
A series of leaders in tho Nordde1tsche All0e-
name indicates that the German Government
possibly Will take tho lead in bringing general
prossure to boar upon Portugal In order that
she muy bc frightened out OF scaling her debts
to bondhoders all over Europe. The proposal
to reduce the interest Of the Dondholders one
third has excited bitter protest from German
ananciers. ind it is the policy OF the German
Government Just now to conciliate the men
who hold tho Dira'S Strinpa. The
Emperor Is likely to be overtake en- with press
ing need for money at any time. and Is. there
fore. anxious to keep the big Berlin bankers in
an accomm odating mood.
Among social Democrats and Radicals dis
cussion in connection with this semi-flnnn-
cial policy has sprung up concerning the
Emperor's continued costliness. Another
bit Of his extravaganza was seen at
KIel during tho reception OF the Gar.
The Emperor then had brought out the
most remarkable rowboat that has ridden
European waters for many century. The
boat is 2S feet long and Ia entirely OF ma
hogany. 1t is carved deliberately. and all the
mountings are of silver The interior decora-
lions are gorgeous. The cushions are OF light
blue satin and velvet. and the carpet is n light
blue and white velvet one The boat Is painted
white and gold inside and solid white outside.
