BERLIN, Aug 29.-Although the
Car has concluded his visit to Vienna
and taken his departure for Kieffe,
where he will stay until he is ready to
go to Breslau, at which place he will ar
rive September 5th, Prince Lobanoff-
Rostovsky, the Russian Minister of
Foreign Affairs, who accompanied the
Car from st. Petersburg to Vienna,
will remain in the Austrian capital sew
eral days longer, and the announcement
of this fact is causing the growth of
large crop of surmses that negotiations
of some kind are in progress between
| the Russian Foreign Minister and Col
uchowski, the Austrian Minister of For
eign Affairs. Prince Lobanoff's confer
ence with Prince Hohenlohe, the Impe-
rial Chancellor of Germany has been
fixed to take place at Breslau on Tues
| day next, September 1st, and at this
meeting Freiherr Marschal Won Bieber-
stein, German Minister of Foreign At
fairs, will also be present. Thus it will
be seen that whatever German diplo-
macy means to effect in connection with
the Cars visit to Germany will be con-
cluded before the Kaiser receives the
Car at the Breslau station on the
| morning OF September 9TH
Every hour of the time from the ar
| rival of the Gar and Czarina at Breslau
until the Russian and German mon
archs leave that station will be filled
with ceremonials, receptions, banquets
etc. Among the high German officials
whom the Kaiser has ordered to be in
attendance upon the Russian Emperor
and Empress are General Won LiguitZ
Commander of the Brandenburg Army
Corps; General Won Vilaume, Colonel
| Won Moltke and Baron Heitze On the
| morning of September 7th the Russian
imperial party will go to Goerlitz to re-
view the Posen corps Of the German
army, and on the evening of that day
| they will start for Kiel where the Ger
man North Atlantic squadron has been
ordered to concentrate and receive
them. The programme of the Car NAV
De altered, however. if the report be
true that the CZarina under the advice
OF her physicians, intends to abandon
her tour with her husband and return
TO st. Petersburg to await her impend-
ing accouchement, leaving the Car to
continue his journey alone If this re-
port is confirmed, the Kaiserine will not
go to Breslau with the Kaiser
Ihough they have excited a great deal
OF public discussion, very little impor-
tance is attached in official circles to the
conferences which have taken place in
Vienna between Count Goluchowski and
Prince Lobanoff. 1t is known that Comm
| Goluchowski has talked with Prince
Lobanon of the possible consequences
OF the disturbances which have oc-
Cured at Constantinople, and that the
two Ministers have agreed that notb;ne
ought to be done by any of the Powers
which would disturb the serenity of tho
| concert Of the Powers which the Czar
desired to have prolonged throughout
his European tour
IN diplomatic circles there is a great
zeal OF comment upon the cold and ner-
Iuhctory terms of the toasts which were
gwen at the court dinner in honor of tbe
Gar at the Hofburg Palace. in Vienna
as We'll as at the luncheon which was
given at the Hofburg prior to the de-
| parture of the Russian Imperial marty
| to-day. The semi official press of vi
emma explain the toasts given at tba
court dinner by saying that they wera
necessarily colorless, in view of tho
fact that the Austrian Emperor is q
member of the Driebund. while the
Car is an ally of France Reference to
the Old cemradeship in arms of Ans
tria and Russia against France wou1d
nave been extremely awkward for the
Car upon the eve of his visit to Paris
hence Emperor Francis Joseph ONLY al
iuded to the Cars visit to Vienna as
! pledge of the friendship existing be-
tween Austria and Russia.
| The "Fremendenblatt" of Vienna in
an article in its issue of to-day indi-
Gates as general result of the Austrian
and Russian Minister'S exchange of
| views, that it is the aim of Austria
| Germany and Russia to continue to pre
| vent European confederation. Pre-
| cisely as Russia had no desire to inter-
vene in Armenia, so nothing will be done
now in the way of interference in Con-
stantinople. the Europeans there being
sufficiently protected by the warshjps
OF their respective countries
| According to the Berlin "Tageblatt
