BERLIN, July 2S.-Although the health
ithe Empress is steadily improving, II
i. not likely that she will be able to go to
Sassnitz in time to be there when the
Emperor arrives. On Thursday the
Kaiser was at Nylsnd-not the Russia,
but the Swedish Nyland-where he
landed from the HohenZollern, and gave
. picnic party in grove situated mile
in the interior. On Friday he was at
Bergholm and on Saturday Helsingberg
From Helsingberg to Sassnitz Is but
short distance. The Emperor is IN con-
slant communication with the Empress,
however, and in the event that ner ply
sicians decide that she ought not TO VEN
ture the journey to Kugen. 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 Cowes regatta. The Empress still
passes the greater part of each day IN
reclining position. but she is able to take
frequent short drives, and those nave
done her a great deal OF good.
from several OF the officers of the lmpe-
rial yacht HohenZollern tell of jolly times
on board that vessel during the kalser's
trip. While at Nyland the Emperor ar
ranged boat races between the crews OF
the HohenZollern and the warship Getlon
and crews composed of local yachtsmen
Rno fishermen. After these and other
sports the Emperor gave musicale re-
ception on board the Hohenzoilern, the
crew of which vessel are now ancient
choristers. On this occasion they sang
number Of German national songs IN
such perfect time and tune as to excite
the admiration Of the Swedes, who
cheered them Justify.
The Emperor has been playing lawn
tennis at Tullgarn, dancing at Herno-
sand and having a good time generally.
His entire tour has aoounded with fetes
given in his honor and good natured
familiarity on his part with the natives.
He has learned enough Swedish TO enable
him to toast Oscar IN that language ID a
manner Ineligible TO the Swedish folk
and this has greatly pleased them and
also enhanced his prestige among them.
The imperial children have been staying
at the Schloss in Dwasiden. They are
kept very close TO the Schloss and rarely
allowed TO go outside the park.
The report that all entente has been es-
tablished between England and the Drei-
bund in regard TO a concerted policy con-
corning the Balkan States is generally
discredited here. Count Goluchowskl. the
Austrian Minister OF Foreign Affairs, had
long conference with Emperor Francis
Joseph at Ischl on Thursday and on Fri
day went to AltausSe to see Prince Won
HOhenlohe, the German Chancellor, who
is sojourning there. Ii was the first
meeting of these two statesmen as leading
Ministers of great powers, although they
oil fnd
other. Prince Hohenlohe was German
Ambassador to France during the time
that Count GOluchOWskl WAS Secretary
OF the Austrian Embassy In Paris, and
the two then met very often. Tbs official
press are unable to say whether the re-
cent meeting of the two ministers was
anything more than one of mere courtesy
and handle the subject with a marked de-
gree of reticence as TO positive statements.
Whatever may have passed between
them, the tone OF the North German Ga-
zette'S articles indicate that Germanysis
not committed to following the lead of
Austria in Bulgaria. Germany" says
the Gazette, though not Indifferent to
what may happen in Bulgaria, will main
tain an attitude OF reserve"
Meanwhile Prince Ferdinand has left
Carlsbad and Joined his mother and his
wife at Coburg, ostenslbly to assist IN the
ceremonies in memory eff his father, who
died July Is, 1881. Prince August OF Sake
Coburg and other mem bers OF the Bour-
bon-Orleans families joined the group on
Friday, and the meeting was, as 8 matter
of fact, family consultation upon the
question of + erdinand's retirement from
the Bulgarian throne in favor of his son
Beris, who Is now year and half old.
Princess Clementine Ferdinand's mother,
whose money and pluck have persist
emily backed her son in his acquirem ent
of the throne, wants him to remain in
Sofa at any risk. and apparently her
counsel was needed and her PROPOSE
tions accepted.
According 10 telegraphic advices re-
ceived from Coburg yesterday, Prince
Ferdinand will return to Carlsbad to
complete his course OF the waters, after
which he will go TO Vienna and later to
Schwarzau to join his wife and son, pass
ing q few days with them before starting
for Sofia. Princess Marie Louise, with
the young Prince, Beris, will not venture
to 60 to Sofia until things have Quieted
down, but will remain at Schwarzau I'M
til Ferdinand thinks it safe tor them TO
go to Bulgaria. Carlsbad gossip has it
that Ferdinand is very respondent and
tells his intimates that he feels certal n
that he will meet an early and violent
death.
In regard to Russia's recognition OF
Prince Ferdinand, the PeSther Lloyd, the
Hungarian official organ. declared eX-
plicitly that suoh act on the part OF Russia
would suffice TO give him status with
the other powers, and calls attention 10
the fact that the treaty of Berlin debars
Russia from exercising any preponder-
ating influence in Bulgaria.
A story has been going the rounds OF
the Austrian papers, Whlch, whether true
or not, gives a very clear idea of the feel
ing against Prince Ferdinand which per-
yades Austria. IL is asserted that Prince
ferdinand recently senta large order to
the wine merchant in Pesth who has sup
piled the Princes cellar with Hungarian
wines, and requested that the shipment
be made Immediately. The merchant al
once notified the Bulgarian master of the
household, through whom the order was
sent. that he refused to have any further
dealings with the man who was most
guilty of the murder OF STAN bulotf.
kilograms received here from Vienna
say that Austria is about TO initiate nego-
tiations with the powers in regard 10 the
election of ruler of Bulgaria, in the event
that Prince Ferdinand is displaced.
1t is reported that the congress Of
Catholics soon to be held in Munich will
be the largest gathering of the kind ever
held in Germany, The Committee OIL
Organization have issued a circular ap.
pealing to the Catholic population &c
send full representative delegations tC
the congress. The aim of the committee
is ito reconstitute the Center party in the
Reichstag SO as to bring it up to the
strength and efficiency which it possessed
during the time that DR.. Windthorst was
the Centrist leader In the Cham Der. The
difficulty in the way OF this object lie.
not SO much in the acceptance of COM
mon programme as in finding grea
leader.
1.-The obstacles in the way of complete
harmony" says Ge1Hldnia, have van
isbed and the work of the congress viii
have a profound result, affecting Ger
many and the world"
