Berlin, Sept. 5.-The diplomats who are
assembled at Breslaa. around Prince Hohen-
lohe, the German imperial chancellor, in
clude Prince Radolin, the German am
bassador at st. Petersburg; Count ,oJ
Osten-Sacken, the Russian ambassador nj
Berlin; Baron Marschall Won Biebersteiu,
German minister OF foreign affairs; Count
Won fourtales, OF the German foreign Of
flee, and Geheimrath Gunther. OF the
German imperial chancellerie.
1t had been generally understood tia;
an Important conference was to be held
upon Tie occasiol of the meeting Of the
two emperprs at Bresiau, between Prince
Hohenlohe and Prince Lo5anoff- -Rostovsky
the Russian minister of foreign affairs,
but the sudden death Of the latter, while
ON his way from Vienna to join the car
at Kieff, has thrown all OF the plans
which mad been mapped out for the meet
ing into u state Of uncertainty and 1t is
now believed that most OF them, IL not
all, will be dropped, for the present al
least. 4,,s
The representative OF the United As
sociatcd Presses, who went TO bresiau to
report the incidents OF the visit OF the
cZar and czarina, obtained today an ex-
precision of opinion from Prince RGdolin
that the ~ Getting of the czar and the kaiser
would be devoid OF all polisit al importance,
and further that the car will not appoint
successor to Prince Lobanofr as minister
OF foreign affairs until his ma ajesty returns
to ST. Petersburg.
CZAR FILLED WITH DREAD.
If, however, Prince Radolin really holds
such views as these they are vastly differ
cntfrom those entertained by wellinfoImed
officials in his own circle. 1t is positively
known that the czar, before leaving kieff
for Brcslau, telegraphed to Count Won
Schouvaloff, Governor OF Warsaw instruct
ing him to cCme to Breslau and act IS
his majes;y's adviser in place of Prince
LobaDoff. Count Won SchouvalOff was
alInos; immediately thereafter stricken with
paralysis. ard this circumstance, following
sociosely after the death of Prince Lobanoff,
has filled the czar with feeling OF dread.
1t is said that he associates his being
deprived or ministerial advice at this time
with theill omen OF the disaster o d HOdynsky
Plain upon the occasion OF his coronation
at Moscow. Though little is now known
or II is plans the fact has leaked out that the
czar has instructed Count Won Osten- Sacken
to communicate with Prince HoEenlOhe
upon the subject of concerted armed action
on the part OF the po wers TO prevent Turkish
mGssaereS; bat whether or not the czar has
decided 10 reverse the policy of inaction
pursued by Prince Lobanoff, the kaiser
and Prince Hohenlche have clearly altered
the attitude OF Germany toward the porte.
The North German Gazette, in an article
in yesterdays Issue, commenting upon the
situation in Constantinople, says:
THREATENING TONE OF THE PRESS.
For the first time it is now declared a
necessity that tie powers should put u stop
to outrages by the Turks, or as Official
Lao.
must adopt an attitude to induce the porte
to prevent further d.sorLers.'
The National Zeitnng goes further than
this, saying:
THE Sultan must be warned that
recurrence OF massacres will endanSer his
throne and dynasty"
The Hamburger Correspondent, a semi
offici al journal, says:
Whatever the powe rs mean to do ought
to be done quickly There is shameful
stain upon the Sultan's government that
can never be cleansed away, for Wild
beast let loose by the authorities is plum
dering and cruelty slaughtefing men, wo-
men,, and children The officials OF the
SultaD's palace are mainly responsible"
This significant change in the tone of
the semi-officiaI press is Undenstood TO be
due to Baron Marschal Ven Bieberstein,
who has had an inklinS of the altered
tendency of the cars sentiment as well
as those OF the kaiser's. Anyhow II Is
not conceivable that after the exchange
of prolonged and incessant diplomatic
communications the czar and the kaiser
could meet without entering into dis
cussion OF the foremost topic of European
politics.
The troops which took part in today's
military parade in honor OF the car, at
Gandau. near Breslau, were commanded by
Prince Bernard, OF SAKE e-Meiningen, bro
ther-in- law of the emperor, and Commander
of the sixth Corps of the German army.
QUEEN vIcTORIA'S GRANDCHILDREN
One of the features of the fetes in
Breslau will he the presence OF four grand
children OF Queen Victoria, of England. the
czarina, Princess Charlotte Of Saxe-M -Mein-
ingen, the emperor, and Prince Henry, OF
visitors and the prices asked for the oc-
cupaucy of apartments have been increased
to five times their normal rate.
Sedan day passed almost unnoticed
this year in contrast with the general
celebration OF the day last year. This
is not to be wondered at, however, as last
years celebration marked the twenty-fiftb
anniversary of the birth Of the empire, for
the observance OF which elaborate pre-
parations were made.
Empress Frederick Will go at the end OF
the month to visit the King and Queen
of Denmark at Copenhagen. Her masesty
will be accompanied by Prince and Princess
Frederick Charles, OF Hesse, the latter
Empress Frcderick's youngest daughter.
The emperor and empress will attend the
marriage of Victor Emmanuel, prince OF
Naples, eldest son and heir apparent of the
King of Italy. to Princess Helene OF Monte
negro, third daughter Of the reigning prince
of Montenegro, which it is understood will
take place at an early date.
The conversion of the Bavarian As into
8 1-2 per cent bonds is proceeding, with
general public acceptance. Holders Of the
per cents who do not lodge protests be-
fore September Is win be regarded as
acquiescing in the conversion. The success
of the present movement foresbadows the
conversion Of the German imperial loans.
