Ol hODdHOu hOLOVShY. the RUSSIAN
Minister of Foreign Affairs, who arrived
here last night from Paris after finishing
his holidays in France, is regarded in Of
ficial circles as having no significance be-
yond that of an act of friendly courtesy in
return for the recent visit of Prince Ho-
henlohe to st. Petersburg. Prince Loban-
off was received by the Emperor at Hu-
bertstock to-day, and according to the
present arrangements will return to St.
Petersburg tomorrow. Count Osten-
sacken, the Russian ambassador to Ger
many, has shortened his leave of absence,
spent in Switzerland, and returned in Or
der to meet Prince Lobanoff. The fact
that he hastened his return to Berlin in
order to be here while his immediate su-
perior was in the city has been construed
by few as signifying that diplomatic mat
ters of Importance were to be discussed,
but generally it is known as merely an OBJ
servance of diplomatic amenities.
In the meantime public and official
curiosity attaches to the Kaiser's reception
of the Russian Foreign Minister after
having read the report of an interview
which Prince Lobanoff accorded to NJ.
Blowltz, the Paris correspondent of the
Paris, which had been reproduced in the
newspapers here. In this interview the
Emperor, whose morning reports in the
various departments of his secretaries in
clude most of the matter published in the
German journals referring to himself, is
referred to frequently and compared unfa-
vorably with his father. Prince Lobanoff
is represented as saying;
"The young Kaiser likes to fly with his
own wings. He consults Prince Hohenlohe
because the Chancellor is wise and amiable
of temper
Continuing Prince Lobanoff adds:
81 have recently seen how Prince Hohen-
lohe has occupied his post. He does not
do so as an ambitious man, but merely
with patriotic resignation
Nothing beyond the bare mention of
Prince Lobanoff's audience with the Kaiser
and his subsequent dinner with Prince
Hohenlohe will reach the public until the
incidents slowly percolate through diplo-
matte channels, the invariable medium of
such communications.
The Emperor will leave Hubertstock
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 enjoy
able. Herr Fries, the animal painter, has
been member of his suite and has made
some splendid sketches of the more nota-
ole of the quarry which has fallen victim
TO the Kaser's gun. He has also sketched
groups of participants in the imperial
hunt IN which the Emperor has been a
conspicuous figure. Throughout his shoot
ing expeditions the Emperor has devoted
a considerable part of each day to busi-
ness, keeping several couriers employed in
iourneying between Berlin and Hubert
stock. His partial holiday will end when
he starts for his tour of the Reichsland,
which he will do on October 16
After the ceremonies of unwilling the
monument to the Emperor's father. Kaiser
Frederick III, at Woerth, the next great
imperial function will be the Inauguration
of the new Reichsgerichtshoff at Leipsic.
On this occas sion the Emperor and the
King of Saxony will arrive at Leipsic at
noon on October is.
They will be received at the railway sta
ton and grand procession, military and
civic, will escort them to the great cupola
hall, an edifice similar to that of the new
Reichstag building where the Emperor
VIII formally lay the capstone of the build
ing. DR.. Won Boetticher, the Vice-Presi-
dent of the Imperial Council, the President
OF the Relchstag, representatives of the
various Federal States and the chief of the
imperial department will be present. After
the ceremonies the Emperor and the King
OF Saxony will take luncheon with the
President OF the Supreme Tribunal, and in
the evening will leave Leipsic, respec-
lively, for Berlin and Dresden.
In the course of inquiries, provoked bv
illusions in the Munich newspapers, to
the real reasons why the Bavarian Govern
ment ignored the diplomatic influence of
the United States in behalf of Louis Stern
of New York, the revocation of whose sem
tence of fine and imprisonment for insult.
ing Baron Won Thuengen, the Deputy
Commissioner at the Spa at Kissingen,
was sought, the representative of the
United Press found that the difficulty was
traceable to the period when Mr.. Bancroft
was United States Minister to Prussia, and
was at the same time accredited to the
Bavarian and Wurtemberg courts, respec-
lively at Munich and Stuttgart.
In 1871, when the German empire was
formed, Mr.. Bancroft received new Gre
oentlaIs 10 the Emperor of Germany, and
when he was recalled duly presented his
letters of recall to the Emperor. At that
time Mr.. Bancroft reminded the State De-
partment at Washington that his letters
OF appointment to the Kings of Bavaria
and Wurtemberg were still in force and
asked permission to present to them also
formal letters of recall. The State De-
partment deemed this ceremony needless
and so informed Mr.. Bancroft.
Upon the receipt of this notification Mr..
Bancroft communicated with the courts at
Munich and Stuttgart, informing them
why he was obliged to omit the customary
diplomatic courtesy The Bavarian court
has ever been stickler for etiquette and
has always remem bered the slight put
upon it on that occasion. The United
States embassy here continues to be Off
cially ignorant of the decision in Stern's
case, and it is rumored here that the Sec
retary of State at Washington asked the
German Embassador there to use his in
fuence in behalf of Stern and met with
more positive refusal
The semi-official press of Rerlin now dis
tinctly assumes an attitude favorable to the
