BERLIN, Oct. 13.-Tne visit of Prince
Lobanof Rostovsky, the Russian Min
lister of Foreign Affairs, who arrived
here last night from Paris, after finishing
his holidays in France, is regarded IN
official circles as having no significance
beyond that ul act OF friendly courtesy
in return for the recent visit Of Prince
Hohenlohe TO st. Petersburg. Prince
Lobanoff was received by the Emperor
at IIubertstock to-day, and according
| to the present arrangements Will return
to ST. Petersburg tomorrow. Count
Ostensacken the Russian ambassador to
| Germany, has shortened his leave OF ab-
sence in Switzerland and returned here.
| in order to meet Prince Lobanoff. The
fact that he fastened his return TO Berlin
to be here while his immediate superior
was i'll the city, has been construed by h
| few as sgniiying that diplomatic matters
of Importance are to be discussed, but
generaily il is known az merely an OBJ
servance of diplomatic amenities.
! In the meantime public and official
curiosity attaches to the kaiser's re-
! fn hn n
lister, after having read the report of
an Mterview which Prince Lobanon ac-
corded to NJ. BioWitZ, the Paris corre-
| spondent of the London Times, while the
| former was in Paris, which has been re-
produced in the newspapers here. as is
dou btless well known. In this interview

quently and compared uniavorably with
/ his father. Prince Lobanoif is reported
as saying: "The young Kaiser likes TO fly
with MS own wings. lie COnsuits Prince
! Hohenlohe because the chancellor is
wise and amiable OF temper" Contin-
uing, Prince Lobanoff adds: Il have re-
Gently seen now Prince Hohenlohe has
occupied his post. lie does not do so as
an am bilious man. but merely with pa
iriotic resignation" Nothing beyond
the bare mention of Prince LobanoH' s
audience with the Kaiser and his subse-
Quent dinner with Prince Hohenlone will
reach the public until the incidents
slowly percolate through diplomatic
channels, the invariable medium OF such
/ communications.
The Emperor will leave Hi ubertstock
with regret. He has had vastly finer
sport than he had at Rominten. Deer
and other big game have been plentiful
and The weather has been cooler and
more enjoyable. Herr Fries, the animal |
| painter, has been member OF his suite,
and has made some splendid sketches OF
the more notable OF the quarry which has
| fallen victim TO the kalser's gun. He
| has also sketched groups of participants
| in the imperial hunt in which The Elm
peror has been conspicuous figure.
! Throughout his shooting expeditions the
Emperor has devoted a considerable part
of each day TO business, keeping several
couriers employed in journeyIng be-
tween Berlin and Hubertstock. His par
! tial holiday will end when ne starts for his
| tour OF the Reichsland, which he will do
on October 18th.
Alter the ceremonies OF uuveiling the
monument TO the Emperor's father,
Kaiser Frederick Ill, at Woerth, the
next great imperial function will be the
| inauguration Of the new RelchSterichto-
! hoff a. Leipsic. On this occasion the
! Emperor and the hiug OF SaXony will
arrive at Leipslc at noon on October 10th.
! they will be received at the railway sta
ton, and grand procession, military
and civic, will escort them TO the great
cupola hall. an editice similar to that of
the new Heichstag building. where the

the building. DR.. Won Boetticker, the

sentatives of the various Federal States

the evening Will leave Leipsic respect

! enpen the Deputy Commissioner at the
/ Spaatsk iugen, your correspondent found
| that the difficulty was traceaDle to the
period when Mr.. Bancroft was United
| States Minister TO Prussia, and was al the
! Wurtemburg courts, respectively, at Mu-
mich and Stuttgart. In 1871, when the
! German Empire was formed, Mr.. Ban
croft received new credentials 10 the EN-
| peror of Germany, and when he was re-
called duly presented his letters OF recall
/ TO the Emperor. at that time Mr.. Ban
| croft reminded the State Department at
| Washington that his letters OF appoint
ment to the Kings of Bavaria and Wur-
| TEN burg were still in force, and asked
permission to present to them also formal
lotters OF recall. The State Department
deemed this ceremony needless, and SO
! informed Mr.. Bancroft. Upon the re-
| ceipI VI this notification Mr. Bancroft
! communicated with the courts at Munich
| and Stuttgart, informing them why he
| was obliged to omit the customary diplo-
matte courtesy. The BavarIan court has

! always remem besed the slight put upon it
on that occasion. The United States En-
bassy here continues 10 be officially ig-
norant OF the difference in Stern's case,

OF State at Washington asked the German

/ behalf of Stern, and met with a more
! positive refusal.
The semi-oflicial press of Berlin has
now distinctly assumed an attitude favor

harsh and unjust pressure ut tho hands OF
England. The North German Gazette
publishes a communication from Con-
stanlinople which traces the Armenian
riots and their attendaBt Dloodsbed TO the

agents were plentifully supplied with
arms aud money, botn OF which were
