health of the empress Is steadily I'm proving it is not likely that she will be able to go to Sassuitz in time to be there when the emperor arrives On Thursday the kaiser was at Nyland- not the Russian, but the Swedish Ny land-where he landed from the Hohenzollern and gave picnic party in grove situat mile in the inte- rior. On Friday he was at Bergholm and on Sunday at Helsingborg From Helsingborg to Sassnitz is but short trip. The emperor is in constant communication with the empress, however, and in the event that her physicians decided that she ought not to venture the journey to Rugen the emperor will come to the new palace and pass two days with the empress there before he starts for England where he will attend the Gowes regatta. The empress still passes the greater part of each day in reclining position, but she is able to take frequent short drives and these have done her great deal of good. Jolly Times on Board the Yacht HohenzoI-
 Tern.
 Letters received by their friends from several of the officers of the im- perial yacht Hohenzollern tell of jolly times on board that vessel dur ing the kaiser's trip. While at Nyland the emperor arranged boat races between the crews of the Hohenzollern and the war ship Geflion and crews of local vachtsmen si E-l.. Al .l- sports the emperor gave musicale re- ception on board the Hohenzollern, the crew of which vessel are now proficient choristers. On this occa- sion they sang a number of German national songs in such perfect time and tune as to excite the admiration of the Swedes, who cheered them lustily.
 The Emperor's Diversions,
 The emperor has been playing lawn tennis at Tullgarn, dancing at Hern- osand and having good time general ly. His entire tour has abounded with fetes given in his honor and good na- tured familiarity on his part with the natives. He has learned enough Swedish to enable him to toast King Oscar in that language in manner in- telligible to the Swedish folk, and this has greatly pleased them and also en- haneed his prestige among them.
 The imperial children have been staying at the schloss in Dwasiden. They are kept very close to the sehloss and rarely allowed to go outside the park.
 The Alleged Entente Between England
 and the Dreibund.
 The report that an entente has been established between England and the dreibund in regard te a concerted pol icy concerning the Balkan states is generally discredited here. Count Go- luchowslli, the Austrian minister of foreign affairs, had long conference with Emperor Francis Joseph at Ischl on Thursday, and on Friday went to Altusse to see Prince von Hohenlohe, the German chancellor who is so- journing there. It was the first meet ing of these two statesmen as leading ministers of great powers, although they were personally acquainted with each other. Prince Hohenlohe was German ambassador to France during the time that Count Goluchowski was secretary of the Austrian embassy in Paris, and the two then met very often. The official press are unable to say whether the recent meeting of the two ministers was anything more than one of mere courtesy and handle the subject with marked degree of reticence as to positive statements. Whatever may have passed between them the tone of the North German Gazette's articles indicate that Germany is not com mitted to following the lead of Aus tria in Bulgaria. Germany" says the Gazette, though not indifferent to what may happen in Bulgaria, will maintain an attitude of reserve
 The Assassin Prince
 Meanwhile Prince Ferdinand has left Carlsbad and joined his mother and his wife at Coburg, ostensibly to assist in the ceremonies in memory of his father, who died July 26, 1881. Prince August of SaxeGoburg and other members of the Coburg and Bourbon Orleans families joined the group onFriday and the meeting was as a matter of fact family consultation upon the question of Ferdinand's re- tirement from the Bulgarian throne in i favor of his son Boris, who is now year and a half old. Princess Clemen- tine, Ferdinand's mother, whose money and pluck have consistently backed her son in his requirement and retain ment of the throne, wants him to re- main in Sofia at any risk, and appar- l ently her counsel was needed and her propositions accepted. According to telegraphic advices received from Coburg yesterday Prince Ferdinand will return to Carlsbad to complete his 1 course of the waters after which he will go to Vienna and later to 1 Schwarzau to join his wife and son, passing a few days with them before l starting for Sofia. Princess Marie Louise, with the young Prince Boris, will not venture to go to Sofia until things have quieted down, but will remain at Schwarzeau until Ferdinand thinks it safe for them to go to Bull l garia. Carlsbad gossip has it that Ferdinand is very Respondent and tells his intimates that he feels certain that 1 he will meet an early and violent death. Bitter Feeling Against Ferdinand in Aus tria.
 A story has been going the rounds l of the Austrian papers which, whether 1 true or not, gives very clear Idea of the feeling against Prince Ferdinand. which prevades Austria. It is as serted that Prince Ferdinand recently ! 1,a
