THE CAR GOES CALLING.
EMPIRES EMULATE EACH OTHER
IN COURTESY TO HIM.

hOI EcOnOmicaIIy-Othe Matters.
Berlin, Aug. 16.-The question which is
now agitatlng the minds OF the inhabit-
ants of the German capital. is viii the Car
come to Berlin. Up to this time it has
merely been officially announced that the
car and czarina will be the guests Of
the emperor at Breslau and Goerlitz. but
as Vienna and Paris will be the scenes
of elaborate receptions to the Russian au-
tocTat and his consort, the Berliners are
jealously anxious lest the car and czari-
ma should be sllghted here. The Berlin
and provincial newspapers are variOusly
discussing the question, 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 the advantages Of
Breslau, as the scene Of reception Of the
car in Germany, while the others assume
a pessimistic tone, and declare their be-
lief that 1t 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 visits to the Austrian
and French capitals.
This sort Of thing has aroused the lead
ers of the official circles. as evidenced
by an inspired article in the Cologne Ca
zette, which not only sharply rebukes the
grumblers, but is seemingly intended to
give positive intimation to the public
that it 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
probably awaits the definite decision OF
the czar.
There has been a prolonged series Of
communications between the German and
Russian cabinets in reference to the Sc
| quence of visits proposed by the czar,
and 1t IS generally presumed that full ana
hnal arrangements have been completed.
Some time ago a tentative communica-
ton from a Russian source suggested
| that the czar should make visits to Vi
| emma, Munich and DarmStadt prior to his
meeting the kaiser, but this programme
was in no way acceptable to Emperor
| William, who set the diplomatic machin-
| cry to work TO effect the changes which
| he desired made in the czar's itinerary.
The result Of the efforts of the said dip
lomatic machinery was that the Russian
| cabinet maintain their contention that
! Vienna must take precedence over the
| German capital, inasmuch as Emperor
| Francis Josephs was the older imperial
court, Berlin coming next.
| This view of the matter was acquiesceu
/ in by the emperor, and according to the
I existing arrangements, the czar will start

Count VOrOntZOft-Dashkom, chlet OF the

| The customary extreme precautions will
be taken in the matter or guarding the
route over which the imperial party will
pass and in protecting his majesty at
other points along the route.
! ITpon the arrival of the car at Vienna,

| Emperor Francis Joseph in person, who
| will conduct the Russian emperor to the,
Hofburg palace. The program for the en-
tertainment of the car IN Vienna IN.
| cludes a grand state performance OF
Nanon in the Imperial opera house, and
a concert at the Hofburg palace on the
! following day.
Before finally leaving Austria, the czar
will pay a visit to the ex-queen of Han
over, and the Duke and Duchess Of Cum
beTland, at Gmunden.
The ear and czarina will arrive at
Breslau on Sept ;, and the German en-
peror and empress, with brilliant as
sembly Of princes and other notabilities,
will greet them at the station, where
a guard of honor, consisting OF the En-
peTor Alexander of Russia Grenadiers,
of which the Gar Nicholas II is the
honorary colonel will await them. This
regiment together with the second regi-
ment of Dragon Guards, OF which her
majesty the cZarina is the chief has
been ordered to Breslau especially for
the occasion. In addition TO these troops
1900 veterans will form double line,
through which the car and czarina and
their suites will pass upon leaving the
station The two days visit of the Rus
sian emperor and empress to Breslau Will
be largely taken up by military reviews
and parades, in the course or which the
car and cZarina will lead their respect
i've regiments past the kaiser.
A gala performance will be given in

the evening of Sept. 16. Among the per-
sonages of note who are expected to as
semble al Breslau to take part in the
honors TO the Russian emperor and en-
press are the King of SaXony Prince
Albrecht. regent Of Brunswick Prince
Hinrich the Count of Turin, nephew of
King Humbert of Italy; Prince Albert of
Belgium, representatives. Of the courts
of Bavaria and Wurtemberg, Capt. r. X.
Evans the military attache to the United
states ambassador, attaches to the other
foreign embassies and legations in Ber-
lin, the Earl of Lonsdale and Lord Charles
on the morning Of Sept all of the
imperial guests will go to GorlitZ, where
there wifi be more military parades and
on the evening of Sept the car and
czarina with their suites, will take their
departure for Copenhagen, unless in the
meantime it shall be decided that the
Russian imperials visit Berlin. A sugges-
tion that the three emperors meet at
Breslau has been quite seriously discuss
ed. but it is not probable that such
meeting will take place.
The emperor, on Aug. p, will attend
the unveiiing Of a monument in Berlin
in honor of the Third Regiment of Foot
Guards.
ARRANGEMENTS are in progress for a
sporting week in Berlin from Sept 20 to
Sept p upon the lines of the annual
sporting week in Dresden. The emperor
has been asked to become a patron of the
sports.
The health of Prince Bismarck, accord

now very good, indeed. The ex-chancel-
lor has resumed his former long walks,
and is even meditating a resumption Of
his practice of horseback riding
