MOVEMENTS OF THE KAISER.
Germany's Proposed Participation in
the Paris Exposition Causes Much
Comment

Hohenlohe, Chancellor of the German en-
| pire. who is spending his holiday at his
schloss in Alt-Aussee, Austria. left for
lschl, for the purpose of paying visit to
Emperor Francis Joseph of Austria. The
Chancellor and the Emperor had a pro-
! tracted interview, which was not shared
by any member of the Austrian Ministry.
| After their exchange of views they dined
! together and Prince Hoherlohe returned
to Alt-Aussee on Wednesday. Since the
interview at Ischl IL has transpired that
communications have been exchanged be-
tween the Governments at Vienna and
| Rome in regard to meeting between En-
peror Francis Joseph and King Humbert,
to take place in the autumn, after the
former receives Emperor William at
GoedoeIoe.
! Naturally the influence of the recent
changes in the I:alian Ministry will be
associated with these interviews. The
French view of the situation-thGt the
Marquis Visconti- Venosta, the new Italian
Minister of Foreign Affairs, is less favor
able to continuance of the Dreibund
than was his predecessor in Office, the
Duke of Sermoneta, and also that the
policy of Signor Luzzati, the new Italian
! Minister of the Treasury, will include q
commercial treaty with France-does not
coincide with the official opinion here,
which is based upon advices from Rome.
| According to these advices instead of
tending to opposition to the triple alliance
| the newly constructed ministry of the
Marquis de Rudini is stronger in favor of
the Dreibund than was the former min
/ istry.
Although the Marquis Visconti-Veno osta
quilted the office of Minister of Foreign
Affairs in 1877, prior to Italy's joining the
Dreibund, he was really the inspirer of the
Dreibund. 1t was under the influence of
his prompting that King Victor Emman-
uel visited Berlin and Vienna in 1874,
! when the Dreibund was discussed. King
Aumbert has always held steadfast to his
| allies, and certainly would not now accept
ministry whose views IN regard to the
| continuance of the alliance were doubtful.
/ The King saw VIsconti-V enosta on Thurs
day and afterward started for Monsta,
! having received the assurance of the Min
lister that the foreign policy of Italy re-
! manned undisturbed.
In regard to the policy of Signor Luz
Zati, the German Government desires to
! see the establishment OF commercial
rapprochement between Italy and France,
upon the ground that, the military pact
| between Germany and Italy being secure,
whatever would assist the prosperity of
Italy and strengthen an ally to bear her
military burdens would be eminently de-
sirable to Germany.
Although Signor Luzzati takes Office
pledged to provide a full military budget
there is a reason to state that communica-
tions are proceeding between the Govern
ments at Rome, Vienna and Berlin in re-
gard to the Italian military economics, in
| which the DTeibund powers are interested,
and it is very probable that the projected
| interviews between the monarchs will
have reference thereto. The Government
in Berlin is absolutely satisfied with the
new Rudini ministry.
The Emperor is spending most of his
| time on a tour OF the northern waters in
the Bingin tords. His Majesty has ex-
perienced mucn bad weather thus far on
his trip, there having been unceasing
downpours of rain for days at a time
Latterly the skies have become brighter.
While the imperial yacht HohenZollern
| lay wrapped in the rain mists the Kaiser
has been accustomed to take long walks
on shore, accompanied by Count Philip
Gutenberg, German ambassador to Aus
tria, and others of his suite, the Emperor
outpacing all the rest. The evenings on
board the yacht have been spent in the
| performance of short comedy pieces, with
concerts and readings. The Emperor's
business has been chiefly conducted in the
morning hours. Wire connections with
the Continent have been maintained
throughout the cruise, and by this means
the Emperor was enabled to send con-
| gratulationS to President Faure upon the
latter's escape from the bullet of an as
sassin very short time after the shot was
fired on the Long Champs reviewing
ground.
Ii is now fixed that the Kaiser will re-
turn to Wilhelmshaven on August 5, when
| with the Empress he will start for Wesel
to unveil statue of Emperor William 1
at that place on August 6. From Wesel
the Kaiser and Kaiserin will visit Essen
as the guests of Krupp, the great German
gunmaker, for which visit great pTepara-
tions are being made by the Krupps and
the local authorities After his entertain
ment at Essen the Emperor will Join his
family at Wilhelmshoe, and on August 8
he will go to Baden to attend a grand
function upon the occasion of the seven
tieth birthday OF the Grand Duke of
Baden.
A report of doubtful authenticity has
been in circulation that the heads of the
federal states have given their assent to
the Emperor to ask the Grand Duke of
/ Baden to assume the title of king. with a
union of the Grand Duchy of Baden and
the Relcnsland. When the question of
linking the Grand Duchy of Baden with
the Reichsland was seriously discussed
some years ago the heads of the federal
states were unanimous in decIarinc .
against the proposal.
The seasons at most of the summer re-
sorts are in full blast and some of the re-
sorts are beginning to be crowded. Kis-
singer, where the Duke of Saxe-Cpburo
and several German state officials have
arrived, IS not yet full, however. and the
season at HON burg will not begin to open
until the middle of August when the
Prince OF Wales will arrive, which event
will bring with it a host of Americans.
Carlsbad is already crowded. Among the
solourners there are the Princess Clemen-
tine OF Saxe-Coburg, mother of Prince Fer
dlnand OF Bulgaria; Prince Ferdinand of
Bulgaria, ex-King Milan of servia.- Duke
Slegfr1ed OF Bavaria, Prince DoIgourokoff
ana Colonel William Jay and family OF
New York, and large number of other
Americans.
The acceptance of Germany of an inyi-
sation 10 De represented at the Paris exhi.
pition in 1900 is variousIy commented on
