BERLIN, Aug. 16.-(Copyrighlted, 1896,
by the United Associated Presses.)- 1.-The
question which is now agitating the
minds of the inhabitants of the Ger
man capital is, will the car come to
/ Berlin?
/ Up to this time 1T has merely been
/ officially announced that the ear and
czarina will be the guests of the emper-
or at Breslau and Goerlitz; but as
Vienna and Paris will be the scenes of
elaborate receptions to the Russian au-
tocrat and his consort, the Berliners are
| jealousy anxious lest the car and car
! ina should be sighted here. The Ber-
| lin and provincial newspapers are var
| iously discussing the question, and the
matter is the subject of much argu-
ment in the cafes and other public
places. Some of the newspapers, in the
course of their articles, point out the
advantages of Breslau as the scene of
| the reception of the car in Germany,
while the others assume a peSsimiStic
! tone, and give their belief that it is the
intention of the emperor to come here,
| but TO give his visit an aspect Of minor
Importance, as compared with his Wis
its to the Austrian and French capri
/ ais. This sort of thing
HAS AROUSED THE LEADERS
of the official circles, and it is evidenced
by an inspired article in the Cologne
Gazette, which not only sharply re-
( Dukes the grumblers, but is seemingly
! intended 20 give positive intimation to
! the public that it is not the intention
of Nicholas II to visit the city Of ber-
lin at all. and has not been from the
/ first. The paper makes no direct answer
20 this, however, and the whole matter
proba bly, awaits the definite decision of
the car. There has been prolonged
series of communications between the
/ German and Russian cabinets in regard
! to the sequence of the visit proposed by
the car, and it is generally presumed
that full and final arrangements have
! been concluded. Some time ago a ten
tative communication from a Russian
source suggested that the car should
make visits to Vienna, Munich ard
Darmstadt, prior to his meeting the
kaiser, but this programme was
IN NO WAY ACCEPTABLE
to Emperor William, who set the dipio-
matte ministry to work TO effect the
changes which he desired made lin the
cars itinerary. The result of the eff
forts OF diplomacy was that the Russian
cabinet maintained their contention
that Vienna must take precedence over
the German capital, inasmuch as EN-
peror Franz Joseph was the older i'm
perial court, Berlin coming Ylext This
view OF the matter was acQuiesced in
| by the emperor and according to the
! arrangements the car will start from
krasnoe-Selo on August "a, acconrpan-
led by Prince LobanOff- Rostovsky. the
Russian minister of foreign affairs;
Count orOntzOff-Dashkoff, chief of the
ministry of the imperial house and i'm
perial domains, and six other attend
ants of exalted rank. The customary
precautions will be taken in the matter
OF guarding the railroads over which
4 the imperial party will pass and in pro-
tectlng his majesty at other DO. nts along
the route. Upon the arrival of the car
at Vienna, he will be received at the
1 station by Emperor Francis Joseph in
/ person, who will conduct the Russian
emperor to the Hofburg palace. The
/ programme for the
ENTERTAINMENT OF THE CZAR
in VIENNA includes a grand state per
torrance Of Manon" at the Imperial
opera house and concert at the Bof-
burg palace on the following day Be

and czarina will arrive at Breslau on
September 5, and the German en-
peror and empress, with brilliant as
semblage of princes and other nota-
bilities, will greet them at the station.
where a guard of honor, consisting of
! the Emperor Alexander of Russia s
grenadiers, of which the Car Nicholas
IL is the chief, will await them. This
regiment Of dragon guards of which
her majesty the czarina is the chief.
has been ordered to Breslau especially
for the occasion. In addition to thase
troops, $4,000 veterans will form
double line, through which the car
and czarina and their suits will pass
upon leaving the station. The two
days of the visit of the Russian
EMPEROR AND EMPRESS
to Breslau will be largely taken I'D by
military reviews and parades, in the
course of which the car and czarina
will lead their respective regiments
past the kaiser. A gala performance
will be given in the theatre in honor
of the visitors on the evening of Sep
TENDER Is. Among the personages Of
note who are expected to assemble at
BreSlau to take part in the hohors to
the Russian emperor and empress are

regent of Brunswick; Prince Heinrich.
the Count of Turin, nephew of King
/ Humbert Of Italy; Prince Albert of Bel
GUM, representatives of the courts of
Bavaria and Wurtenburg; Captain r.
K. Evans military attache to the
United States embassy; attaches to the
other foreign embassies and legations
in Berlin; the Earl of Lonsdale and
Lord Charles Beresford. On the morn
ing of September all of the imperial
guests will go TO Goerlitz, where there
will be more military parades and ma
nouvres. On the evening of September
the car and czarina with their suites
will take their departure for Copen-
hagen, unless in the meantime it shall
be decided that the Russian imperials
visit Berlin. A suggestion that the
THREE EMPERORS MEET

discussed, but 1t is not possible that
such meeting will take place The
emperor, on August %, will attend the
