BERLIN, Aug. 16-The question
which is now agitating the minds of the
inhabitants of the German capital is
VIII the Car come TO Berlin? Up to
this time it has merely been officially
announced that the Gear and Czarina
will be the guests of the Emperor at
Breslau and Gorlitz, but as Vienna and
Paris will be the scenes Of elaborate
receptions to the Russian autocrat and
his consort, the Berliners are jealousy
anxious lest the CZar and CZarina
should be sighted here.
The Berlin and Provincial newspa-
pers are variously discussing the ques-
ton and the matter is the subject Of
much argument in the cafes and other
public places. Some of the newspapers
in the course of their articles point out
Breslau as the scene Of the reception of
the Car in Germany, while others as
sumo a pessimistic tone and declare
their belief that it is the intention of
the Russian Emperor to come here, but
to give to his visit an aspect of minor
Importance as compared with his vis-
Its to the Austrian and French capitals.
This sort of thing has aroused the
leaders of the official circles, as

Cologne Gazette" which not only
sharply rebukes the grumblers, but is
seemingly intended to give positive in
timation to the public that 1t is not the
intention of Nicholas IL to visit the
city of Berlin at all and has not been
from the first. The paper makes no
direct announcement to this effect,
however, and the whole matter prob
ably awaits the definite decision of the
Car. There has been a prolonged Sc
rieS of communications between the
German and Russian Cabinets in re-
gard to the sequence of visits proposed
by the Car. and it is generally pre-
sumed that full and final arrangements
have been concluded.
Some time ago a tentative commune
cation from a Russian source suggested
that the Car should make visits to
Vienna, Munich and Darmstadt, prior
to his meeting the Kaiser. but this pro-
gfamme was in no way acceptable to
Emperor William, who set the diplo-
matte machinery to work to effect the
changes which he desired made in the
Cars itinerary. The result was that
the Russian Cabinet maintained their
contention that Vienna must take pre-
cedence over the German capital, mas
much as Emperor Franz Joseph was
the elder imperial court. Berlin coming

This view of the matter was acqui-
