BERLIN, GERMANY, March 29.-The i'm
perial party in its visit to Italy is accom-
panied by a large and distinguished suite.
Among those attached to the Emperor are

and three aids-de-camp; Admiral Won
Senden- Bibran, chief of the Emperor's
marine staff; Count Won Eulenpurg, grand
marshal of the court; Baron Won klderlen-
Waechter, German Minister to Denmark
and a close contidanJ Of the Kaiser, and
Dr. Luitpold. Among the attendants
of the Empress are two chamberlains and
two ladies of honor, and the young Princes
are accompanied by three tutors.
Court Pastor Drysander is also with the
party for the purpose of officiating at the
religious duties of holy week and Court
Painter Bohrdt will make sketches of the
coasts of Italy and Sicily. which will after
ward be produced in pictures commemo-
Iative OF the trip.
Leaving Naples on March 81, on board
the imperial yacht Hohenzollern, the En-
peror and Empress, with their suites, will
sail for Palermo. They viii sojourn five
days in Sicily and sail thence to Venice,
where meeting will take place between
the Kaiser and King Humbert. the COM
munications between Prince Hoheniohe,
the German Chancellor and the Marquis
di Rudini, Italian Minister. in regard to
the presence of the German Emperor in
Italy, having resulted in the two mon
archs deciding upon having a conference
alone. Queen Margherita will accom-
pany King Humbert and will receive the
Empress. During the three days of the
stay Of the imperial party in Venice the
King and Queen OF Roumania will join
the imperial and royal party. After the
interview between the Kaiser and King
Humbert the Emperor will start for
Vienna, where he will be joined by Prince
Hoheniohe.
The official press has received instruc-
tions to minimize the Importance OF these
conferences and to state that Prince Ho-
henlohe in going to Austria for the pur
pose Of attending the marriage or his
niece, and that his meeting with the EN-
peror here Is a mere coincidence, the i'm
perial visit to Austria and the marriage of
the Chancellor's niece being synchronous
events. 1t is impossible, however, to di-
vest the Kaiser's trip of the important
fact that his Majesty will meet successfully
three monarchs who are his allIes-meet-
ings which certainly have some signif-
canoe. It is believed here that the
conferences do not relate to a renewal of
the Dreibund, that being already secured,
but rather to the Kaiser's policy toward
Russia. whose successful diplomacy in
Bulgaria ana dominance of Turkey have
created feelings of great anxiety at the
Austrian and Roumanian courts, to the
King of Roumania especially, that mon
arch being somewhat uneasy as to the
prudence of his entente with the Drei-
bund, in view OF Russia attitude.
The enthusiastic reception given to the
Emperor in Italy is largely due to his own
tact. Previous to his arriving in Genoa
his Majesty ordered the band of marines
on board the Hohonzollern, which vas
awaiting him at Genoa, to give a concert
for the benefit of the Italian soldiers who
were wounded at the battle of Adowa, in
Abysslnia. the entertainment realizing a
large sum. The Kaiser also directed
Prince Henry of Prussia to visit the
wounded who were being treated in the
hospital in Naples the day before he him
self arrived there, and another concert
will be given by the Marine band in
Naples, where the Emperor's popularity
has reached a phenomenal intensity of en-
thusiasm
