RUssIA's ATTITUDE TO CHANGE
Renewal of the Clamor for the Pre-.

BERLIN, GERMANY, Sept. 5.-The dip
| lomats who are assembled at Breslau
around Prince Hohenlohe, the German
| Imperial Chancellor, include Prince RADIO
] lin, the German ambassador at ST. Peters
/ burg: Count Won Osten-Sacken, the Rus
sian Embassador at Berlin; Baron Mar
schall Won Bieberstein, German Minister of
Foreign Affairs; Count Won Pourtales of
the German Foreign Office and Geheim-
rath Gunther of the German Imperial
| Chancellerie.
1t had been generally understand that
an important conference was TO be held
upon the occasion of the meeting of the
two Emperors at BresIau between Prince
| HohenIohe and Prince Lobanoff- Ros-
tovsky, the Russian Minister of Foreign
Affairs, but the sudden death of the latter
while on his way from Vienna to join the
Gear at Kieff has thrown all OF the plans
which had been mapped out for the meet
ing into a state of uncertainty, and 1t is
now believed that most of them, if not all
| of them, will be dropped, for the present
at least.
The representative of the United Asso-
ciated Presses, who went to Breslau to re-
port the incidents of the visit OF the Gear
and Czarina, obtained to-day an express
sion of opinion from Prince Radolin that
the meeting of the Gar and the Kaiser
would be devoid of all political impor-
lance, and further that the Gear will not
| appoint successor to Prince Lobanoff as
Minister of Foreign Affairs until his Maj
esty returns to st. Petersburg. If, rhow-
| ever, Prince Radolin really holds such
|
from those entertained by well-informed
officials in his own circle. 1t is positively
known that the Gear before leaving Kieff
for Breslau telegraphed 60 Count Won
| Schouvaloff, Governor of Warsaw in
structing him to come to Breslau and act
as his Majesty's adviser in place of Prince
Lobanoff. Count Won Schouvalof was
| almost Immediately thereafter stricken
with paralysis, and this circumstance fol-
| lowing so closely after the death of Prince
! Lobanoff has struck the Gear with a feel
ing of dread.
! 1t is said that he associates his being de-
prived of ministerial advice at this time
! with the i'll omen of the disaster on the
! Rodynski Plain upon the occasion of his
coronation at Moscow. Though little is
now known of his plans, the fact has
4
Count Won Osten-Sacken to communicate
with Prince Hohenlohe upon the SUBJ
iect of concerted armed action on the
part of the powers to prevent Turkish
| massacres. But whether or not the Gar
| has decided TO reverse the policy of in
| action pursued by Prince Lebanon, the
Kaiser and Prince Hohenlohe have clearly
altered the attitude of Germany toward
the Porte.
The North German Gazette, in an article
in Yesterdays issue commenting upon the
! situation in Constantinople, says: For the
first time it is now declared to be neces-
sity that the powers shall put stop 10
outrages by the Turks, or, as official
language has phrased it, "civiIiZed Europe
must adopt an attitude to induce the Porte
! to prevent further disorders"
| The National Zeitung goes further
than this, saying: The Sultan must be
| warned that a recurrence OF massacre
Will endanger his throne and his dynasty.
The Ham burger Correspondent, semi
official journal, says: Whatever the powers
mean to o ough mt to be done quickly There
is shameful stain upon the Sultan's gov
eminent that can never be cleansed away.
A wild beast let loose by the authorities is
pIundering and cruelly slaugh tering men,
women and children. The ofhc1als or the
Sultan's palace are mainly responsible.
This significant change IN the tone OF
the semi-official press is understood to be
| due to the Baron MarSchau Won Bleber-
stein, who has had an mixing OF the allied
tendencies of the Cars sentiments as we'll
- those of the Kaiser. However, it is
not conceivable that after the prolonged
and incessant diplomatic communications
the Gear and the Kaiser could meet with
out entering into discussion OF the fore
| most topic OF European politics.
The troops which took part in to-day's
military parade in honor of the Gar near
| BresIau were commanded by Prince Ber-
nard of SAKE Meinengen, brother-in-
law of the Emperor and commander of the
Sixth Corps of the German army. One OF
the features of the feJes in Breslau will be
the presence of four grandchildren of
Queen Victoria of England, the Czarina,
| Princess Charlotte of SAKE Neinenge
the Emperor and Prince Henry of Prus-
STA. The town is overcrowded with visit
ors, and the prices asked for the occupan-
CIV of apartments nave been increased to
FIVE times their normal rate.
Sedan day passed almost unnoticed this
year in contrast with the general celebra-

be wondered at, however, as last year.

Empress Frederick will go at the end of
