Germany Desires to Cement a
Firm Russian Friendship.
EXPECTED VISIT TO BE RLIN
Car and Czarina VIII Spend Four
ing the Year, 1t Is Expected-Gcr-
many Must Look TO Her Interests,
Says the Officially Inspired Press.

Berlin, May 3o.-The desire of the gov
ernment to cement friendly relations he
tween Germany and Russia is shown by
the tone of the Officially inspired press IL
their articles descriptive and commenting
upon the ceremonies of the coronation OF
the car at Moscow.
Since the succession Of Nicholas IL 10 the
Russian throne every step the kaiser has
taken toward the establishment OF concord
between Germany and Russia has Met a
responsive movement Oh the part OF the
Russian court and government; still the
emperor Will not be satisfied that complete
harmony exists until visit on the part
of the car aud cZarna to Berlin shall con
firm publicly that thoroughly good rela-
tionS between the two enperors have
been restored.
Up to tie present time the Berlin co urt has
received no positive notification Of the
intention of the cZar and CZariDa TO pay
visit to Berlin, but the kaiser holds the czar's
promise that such visit shall occur ia the
course OF the year.
THE IMPERIAL JOURNEY.
1t is understood that the first journey
that the imperial couple VIII take outside
of Russia after the coronation fetes Will
be TO Copenhagen. and that the next trip
will be to Darfnstadt, the former home or
the cZarina. After leaving Darmstadt the
understanding is that the czar and czarina
will come TO Berlin and remain four day
The feature of the emi-official comments
in German articles referred to is their
tendency to dilate upon tue growth Of the
influence OF Russia in Europe and the
east as compared with the decrease OF
England's influence in the same regions.
The Cologne Gazette deyotes long
leader To the declaration that Russia, with
in few years, has ousted England from
her virtual protcctorate over Turkey and
in the domination of foreign policy has
taken the lead in China over England and
is menacing from an unassailablc point
of vantage the angloIndian empire.
POLICY AGAINST ENGLAND.
The Kreuze Zeitung says that the time
is drawing near when the Fra nco- Russiis..
coalition will bring the long prepared
policy against England to climax. and
that Germany must stand aloof watching
her own interests Germans, the paper
says, may not desire to see England driven
from the territory she has long held in
Asia and Africa, yet England crippled i'm
plies that the chief opponent OF German
colonial expansion is weakened
a similar current or Angluphoba is seen
Ill the newspaper protests which are being
made against the official reception OF
10 English naval architects, who are
coming to Berlin on June 10 and will be
feted at Krolls Theater by order OF the
kaiser
a large majority OF the press attack
the reception OF these visitors as being
something like an outrage upon ma tional
honor and the German taxpayer The
Neuste Sachrchten deplores the possihil-
ity that the emperor may even invite
the English architects TO the new palace,
and advises Germans to huid themselves
alouf from the fete at Kroll's Theater
Continuing in this strain, the paper as-
sails the home department for its misuse
of public funds in entertaining such guests
and expresses hope that the ReichSta =
will have something to say on the subject
