Devoid of Political Significance.

Bsrlin. Oct. 1s.-The visit of
Prince Lobanoff- f-Rostovsky, the Rus
sian minister of foreign af-
fairs. who arrived here last night from
Paris after finishing his holidays IN
! France. is regarded in official circles as
having no significance beyond that of an
act of friendly courtesy in return for the
recent visit of Prince Hohenlohe to st.
1 Petersburg. Prince Lebanon was receiv-
ed bv the emperor at Hubertusstock to-
i dav and according to the present arrange
ments will return to St. Petersburg to-
morrow.
Count Ostensacken, the Russian ambas-
d sador 10 Germany, has shortened his
4 leave of absence, spent in Switzerland,
and returned here in order to meet Prince
4 Lobanoff The fact that he fastened his
return to Berlin in order to be here while
his immediate superior was in the city
has been construed by a few as signify
ing that diplomatic matters of impor-
tance were to be discussed, but generally
it is known as merely an observance
Of diplomatic amenities.
In the meantime public and official Gu
rositv attaches to the kaiser's reception

which Prince Lobanoff accorded to NJ.

London Times. while the former was in
Paris, which has been reproduced in the
newspapers here. In this interview the
F. emperor whose morning reports from the
various departments and secretaries, in
clude most of the matter published in
the German journals referring to him
self, is referred to frequently and COM
pared unfavorably 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 ami
able of temper"
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 Lobanoffs audience with the kaiser
and his subsequent dinner with Prince Ho-

than he had at Rominten. Deer and other
big game have been plentiful and the
weather has been cooler and more en-
joyable. Herr Frise, the animal painter,
has been member of his suite ana mas

has been a conspicuous figure. Through
out his shooting expeditions the emperor
has devoted a considerable part OF each
day to business, keeping several eouriers
employed in journeying between Berlin
and FT,,ho~4~e estock. His partial holiday
will end when he starts for his tour OF the
Reichsland, which he will do on Oct IS.

Of the United States in behalf of Mr.
Louis Stern of New York, the revocation
of whose sentence of fine and imprison-
ment for insulting Baron Won Thuengen,
the deputy commissioner at the spa at
kissingen, was sought, the representa-
I tive 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
Wurtemburg courts, respectively, at Nu-
Mich and Stuttgart. In 1871, when the
4 German empire was formed, Mr.. Ban
4 croft received new credentials to the EN-
peror of Germany, and when he was re-
called duly presented his letters of recall
q to the emperor At that time Mr.. Ban
croft reminded the state department at
q Washington that his letters of appoint
ment to the kings of Bavaria and Wur-
4 tumberg were stin in force and asked
81 permission to present to them also formal
Eletters of recall. The state department
Tdeemed the ceremony needless and so in
t10rmed Mr.. Bancroft. Upon the receipt OF
this notification Mr.. Bancroft communi-
GATED with the courts at Munich and

Obliged to omit the customary diplomatic
& courtesy. The Bavarian court has ever
81 been a stickler for etiquette and has al
ways remembered the slight put upon it
s on that occasion. The United States en-
bassy here continues to be officially ig-
norant of the decision in Stern's case and
Il it is rumored here that the Secretary of
State at Washington asked the German
8 ambassador there to use his influence in
8 behalf of Stern and met with positive
refusal.
& The semi-offieial press of Berlin has
now distinctly assumed an attitude ia
q vorabe to the porte as being subjected
& to harsh and unjust pressure at the
hands of England. The North German
Gazette publishes a communication from
q Constantinople which traces the Ar
8 menian riots and their attendant blood
shed to the Vaccinations of agents sent
4 from London. According to this authori-
& ~ these agents were plentifully supplied
with arms and money, both of which were
widely distributed. The communication
4 also denounces the conduct of the Ar
menian patriarch and censures the Eng
lish agitators who are themselves char
acterized as Christian fanatics, for in
citing Armenian fanaticism to violence
against the Moslems. The Turkish en-
