Berlin, Aug. 28--The visit of President
Faure to Russia has been very calmly
there is a distinct undercurrent of un-
easlns SIS, which tends to show that the
newspapers do not believe what they are
printing on the subject. The opinion is
expressed, however that the czar has
again made it plain to France that Rus
sia can not be dragged into following
policy of "revanche," and the conviction
becomes all the time more widespread,
as it is industriously pressed in every
quarter, that France will relinquish the
idea of revenge upon Germany, and the
conquest of Alsace-Lorane will gradual

Doubtless, however. the wish in this case
is father to the thought
An unpleasant surprise has been Gre
ated by the naval correspondent of the
Kreuz Zeitung and other conservative
newspapers, as well as the correspondent
of the Deutsche Zeitung, In reporting
the naval maneuvers near Dantzig dur
ing the past fortnight. They describe the
evolutions of the German war vessels as
having been total failures so far as
quickness and 1naneuvering ability to re-
sist torpedo attacks are concerned. On
Tuesday last, off the port of B=la, one
ironclad division narrowly escaped run
ming aground while maneuvering to es-
cape torpedo boats. The correspondents,
who were themselves naval MN and who
were on board the vessels engaged in
the maneuvers, attribute this lack Of
skill to the want of modern equipments
on the German ships. The government
will argue from this that more cruisers
are needed for the German fleet and will
vision of cruisers. The new chief of the
navy department, Admiral Won Tirpitz,
paid a visit to Prince Bismarck during
the week and consulted the ex-chancel-
lor on naval matters, especially as to
th= need of a larger German navy.
Prince Bismarck conceded the necessity
of Strengthening the feet, but he strong
ly dissuaded the admiral from making
that the principal issue of the reichstag
during thu coming session of that body.
On The following day Admiral Won Tir-
pitz went to w;hefmshohe to report line
result of his visit to the emperor. 1t is
said on high authority tGia. his majesty
still ciingS to his intention 10 force the
reichstag to grant much rarg n appropr;a-
tions tina n Hitherto for naval constru. tion.
But dhe oerser and the liberal factions
still s.uhbornly oppose the proposition
and the newspaper organs of these par
ties never miss an opportunity of speak
ing their opposition to the emperor's pet
prcjedt
There Is a coo,n;ss between the emperor
and the krg of Saxony. The emperor
blames King Albert for his recent defeat
in the Lppe- -Schombaurg succession case
as iending to destroy the divine right
th -ory. Becauso of this co olness King AL
bert has refused to be present at the
army maneuve.s next month and has ac-
Joseph Of Austria 10 witness the army
maneuvers in Hungary
