Berlin, Sept. 1S-The emperor will re-
main several days at Siegsdorf, where he
has gone for the purpose of shooting, and
Prince Hohenlohe win start tomorrow
FOR his estate in Styria, where he will en-
gage in the sport of channels hunting
Prince Radolin, the German ambassador
to Russia, started for England on Thurs
day for the purpose of transacting private
business, and Count Kapnist, the Russian
ambassador to Austria, who is the proba-
Bile successor of Prince Lobanoff- -Rosto-
vsky as Russian minister of foreign af-
fairs, has left Vienna for a sojourn at
Biarritz, with his family These facts
have been CLEANED with a view of guag-
ing the value of the excited rumors which
have been flying about the bourses that
a political deluge in Turkey is imminent.
Beyond question Developments of the
most acute nature are near at hand, but
they will not be reached to-day nor are
they likely to manifest themselves until
the cars tour is finished and that mon
arch returns to st. Petersburg. Lord Sal
isbury's so-called Independent policy in
Turkey, which is doubtless seen in the ac-
tion of Sir Philip Currie, the British am
bassador at Constantinople, in present
ing to the porte a note protesting against
the governments expulsion of Armenians
from the Turkish capital, without con-
sulting the representatives of the powers,
is not taken here SO seriously as Implying
the appearance of a British fleet in the
Bosphorus to enforce the special British
demands, and the absence of several am
bassadors from Constantinople ought to
furnish sufficient proof Of the suspension
of the Turkish crisis.
Sir Philip Currie Is the first ambassa-
dor who has had an audience with the
sultan since the recent riots In Constan-
tinople. Baron Calico, the Austrian am
bassador, and NJ. Nelidon, the Russian
bassador, are away on leaves of abb
sence whice will not expire until the end
of the month, and Sir Philip Currie in the
meantime is in command Of the diplomatic
field with whatever kind Of isolated pol
| icy he has to push forward No we'll In
formed diplomats here believe that inde-
| pendent action on the part Of Great Brit
ain is practical.
| Though the North German Gazette,
| whose articles on the Turkish situation
| are callous and unsympathetic with the
| prosecuted Armenians, represents the best
official opinion here, the other influential
journals here take an entirely different
course The Cologne Gazette declares
| that the powers want to deal energeti-
cally with the sultan, but are undecided
as to the method of doing so. Though
the recent massacres in Constantinople
passed over the European residents of
/ the city, the Gazette adds, "as the fear
and hatred of Christians increases, the
powers must face possibly general mas
sacre"
The Kreuz Zeitung, and other papers,
discuss the measures that must be taken
before armed intervention ought TO be re-
sorted to, but almost every newspaper
comment on the situation reasons the
readiness of the Turks to try to extermi-
nate the Christians in Turkey If they are
provoked.
Advices received here from Constantine
pie assert that the sultan is afflicted with
a homicldal mania,' arising from an acute
spinal disorder, and the statement made
in these advices seem, according to the
criticisms of the press, TO be associated
with manical outburst of Turkish fa-
natacism generally. How to guard against
such an outburst is the first question to
be Dl0CeU DeIOIe the IDI6lkH ulPlOllldhS IA
Turkey. II the powers agree to place the
sultan under tutelage with the appoint-
ments of the Turkish ministers and other
officials approved by the ambassadors,
this action must be accompanied by pre-
parations for armed occupation of Tur-
key The Kreuz zeitung asserts that
France and Russia will never assent to
the plan of placing the sultan under tute-
lage and will maintain the integrity of the
empire and sovereignty of the Turkish
monarch. and declares that these two
powers already distrust the concentration
of the British fleet at Salonica. The sum
of the situation is that these and other
proposals dealing with the sultan awaits
the issues of the cars tour.
The representatives Of the press return
ing from Goerlitz concur in the statement
that 1t was with the utmost difficulty
that they were able to get accurate in
formation of the results of the military
maneuvers, but agree that the general re.
suits were more favorable to the Saxon
than the Prussian army corps. The en-
peror. upon the evening of every day or
the maneuvers, criticised the operations
with admitted impartiality. The Prussltn
Infantry which are renowned for their
good marching under heavy weights,
maintained their reputation. Both the
Prussians and Savons carried over sixty
hounds, consisting Of arms, ammunition,

vet their files were closed up well at the
end OF every day. For. the first time the
bicycle rifenen were brought into action,
covering the retreat Of the Prussian cav
airy behind Klein Bautzen. Military ex.
merits alone, however, can say whether
their work was done effectively. 1t was
GENERALLY stated on the field that Gen.
count Waldersee had underrated the
marching abilities of the Saxons, who
throughout were admirably led. The COM
mlssariat was marvelously we'll managed
and the quantity and quality Of the food
provided excellent.
A number of German Catholic clergy
men will attend the anti-Masonic con-
gress. which is to be opened at Trent on
sent. 26. Prince Charles Valussi, bishop
Of Trent, will preside after the congress
has been formally opened by Cardinal Ag-
llardi. papal nuncio to Vienna, who will
read a letter from the pope. Cardinal Ag-
liardi has caused the publication Of the
letter TO his holiness In the Centrist news

sufina from secret societies, as denounced
In the encyclique humanum genus. and
declares that Free Masonry is more per-
nlcious than ever, menacing both church
and state. He expresses the hope that
