BERLIN, Aug. A.-While the papers are
flooded with details of the czar's ap-
preaching visit to France, confirmation
of the announcement thai his majesty Will
also attend the German naval maneuvers
which was made in Paris some days ago
was for some reason known only to Of
fetal minds, and kept back from the Ger
man public until yesterday. The state
ment that the czar Will visit Dantzig In
private, and that no minister will be
present, is quite wrong Both Count Won
BueloW and Count Lamsdorff will accom-
pany their imperial masters. Attempts
therefore, to divest the meeting of a
political character are vain. Not that
important political transactions will be
concluded, but the mere fact that En-
peror William will have an opportunity
of exchanging personally his views on
pending questions Is regarded as polit-
ically important AS high official said:
The emperors will meet as good friends.

COUNTESS Won WALDERSEE.
The large part which Count Won valdez
see is occupying In public attention has
brought out many kindly comments on
the countess, which always include a
mention of the fact that she is an Amer
lean. 1t Is recalled that she is the only
woman who ever came of victorious in
encounters with the late Prince Bismarck

contributed. The commentators are una :
