been revived. According to the latest
version Germany gives certain guar
antees to Emperor Nicholas regarding

is to be the support of Russia in the
attempt to incorporate the Neither
lands in the German confederation in
the event of the death of Queen Will
helmina without a direct heir.
Diplomatic circles are discussing the
story with interest. While it Is elassed
in the same category as other similar
stories by most of the diplomats, it
finds more credence in quarters not
particularly noted for friendliness either
to Russia or Germany. It being even
asserted that the recent visit of Grand
Duke Vladimir to Berlin ostensibly
to consult a specialist, in reality was
to confer with Emperor William in
person on this question. Nothing con-
f1rnlatory of the report is obtafnable
in responsible Government circles,
where the story is dismissed as being
the invention of enemies of both coun-
tries.
