Berlin. Aug. 2S.-The visit of Presi-
lent Faure TO Russia has been very
calmly commented on in Berlin, though
there is a distinct undercurrent CT I'M
easiness. which tends to show that the
newspapers do not believe what they
are printing on the subject The opin-
ion is expressed, however, that the
czar has again made it plain to France
that Russia cannot be dragged into
following a policy Of revanche. and the
conviction becomes all the time more
widespread as it is industriously

UNPLEASANT SURPRISE.
An unpleasant surprise has been Gre
ated by the naval correspondents of
tie Kreuz Zeitpng and other conserV-
alive newspapers. as well as the cor
respondent of the Deutche Zeitung
Rundeschau, reporting the naval
manoeurers near Dantzig during the
past fortnight. They describe the evo-
buttons OF the German war vessels as
having been total failures, so far as
manoeuyering ability to resist torpedo
attacks are concerned.

by the German fleet and will urge the

NAVAL MATTERS.
The new chief OF the naval depart
ment, Admiral Won Tirpitz, paid q visit
to Prince Bismarck during the week
and consulted the ex-chancelIor on
nara. matters, especially as to the
need OF a larger German navy. Prince
Bismarck conceded the necessity of
strengthening the fleet, but he strongly
dissuaded the admiral from making
that the principal issue in the reich
stag during the coming session OF that
body. On the following day Admiral
Won Tirpitz went 10 Wilhelmsh0e TO

But the Centre and Liberal factions
still stubbornly oppose this proposition
and the newspaper organs OF those
parties never miss an opportunity of
repeating their opposition to the en-
