(Copyright, 1891, By the N. Y. associated Press)
BERLIN, June 1.-THE meeting between
the emperor and czar at Kiel has been a
leading topic Of conversation during the
week. The comments of the newspapers
here show that it is generally felt that there
is little reason for congrasulation over the
result OF the meeting, which had too much
the appearance OF the emperor running
after the cZar, while the ostentatious visit
Of the Grand Duke Constantine at Nancy,
by expressed Instructions of the czar, dis
PEELED any idea that any political impor-
tance eau be attached to the Kiel meeting.
The character of his reception cannot fail
to impress the czar with the fact that the
emperor desires to maintain friendly rela-
tions with Russia. The emperor's
conterring the honorary rank Of
a German admiral on the czar is
further proof of his desire to show his
kindly regard for him. The title was espe-
cially created for the occasion. The only
foreign royal personages holding honorary
titles in the German navy are King Oscar
II. Of Sweden and Archduke Stephen of
Austria. but they do not hold a special rank
During the breakfast at Kiel the czar con-
versed freely with Gen. Worder. This oc-
currence is greatly remarked as tending to
confirm the reports that Gen. Worde-
will be the next German min
lister at st. Petersburg. The Cologne
Gazette has published q statement
that will be likely TO throw cold water upon
the reioicings Of French newspapers over
the visit of Grand Duke Constantine to
President Carnot, which has been regarded
as pledge that Russia will stand by France
in any event The Cologne Gazette afirms
that the car, while at Kiel, declared that
he would not think of supporting France il
she raised any question regarding Alsace-
Lorraine.
The emperor will sstart on a voyage to
Norway on June q. He will embark at
Kiel after attending the regatta there. A
whale hunt will be organized at the Lofoden
Islands, after which the emperor will visit
many Of the fiords which he visited last
year. he will return to Wilhelmshaven
early in August.
The papers are still occupied in discussing
the prospects of a reconciliation between
Emperor William and Prince Bismarck
A rumor has been In circulation
to the effect that Prince Bis
marck would be & made president
OF the state council, but there is little like
hhood that the ex-chancelor, even should
a reconciliation be effected, would accept
such an unimDortant post as the presidency
~ hn atufa frb he
ated in order to appoint Crown Prince
Frederick thereto, and thus remove the
crown prince from any influence in active
politics. An extraordinary story has re-
Gently been circulated to the
effect that the emperor while pass
ing through Firedchsruh on his
recent journey ordered the train on
which he was travelling TO be stopped and
sent messenger to Prince Bismarck, re-
quesring him TO come to the train, as he de-
sired to speak with him. Prince Bismarck
decided to CO. but was dissuaded from do
ing so by his wife and Count Herbert Bis
marck, who insisted that he ought not to
submit to be treated In such an off-hand
manner. Finally a message was sent
to the emperor with the informa-
tion that Prince Bismarck was unable
to comply with his majesty's request.
Upon receiving this reply the emperor
proceeded on his journey. Prince Bismarck
will attend the wedding OF his son, Count
Herbert and Countess Margaret Hoyos,
which is to take place at the Evangelical
church at Vienna on June 81. Count Her
bert and his fance are much panied at the
action Of set OF bigoted Catholics In
Vienna who addressed circular letter 20
leading aristocrats of the country urging
them not to attend the wedding on the
ground that the ceremony is to be held in a
Protestant church, though the bride is a
Catholic.
THE BERLIN EXPOSITION.
The proposal to hold an International ex-
hibtion in Berlin in 1895 still has many
supporters in spite of the assertion made In
a recent letter by Chancellor Won Caprivi
that the holding of such an exhibition is out
of the question. Second Burgomaster Zelle,
who is regarded as the successor of Herr
Forclanbeck as burgomaster, has declared
himself in favor Of the exposition. He says,
however, that in view Of the holding of the
Chicago Columbian exhibition in 1898, it
will be impossible to organize a Berlin ex-
position in 1896. In contrast with the action
of the German chancellor a telegram re-
ceived from Buda- Pesth Tonight states that
a member of the government, in replying to
a question regarding Hungary's interest as
to the Chicago worlds fair, declared that
there was not sufficient interest in Hungary
in the exposition to guarantee that that
country would be wOrthily represented.
