LONDON, July 29.-fhe chief topic In
d,nlomatc circles still Is the meeting Of the
Gar and tho Kaiser. In the complete
.hsence OF any authoritative information
=. to what took place, speculation has
.overed every possible corner Of the Euro
.san political arena. Il Is now universally
.oo.pted that tho interview was arranged
N the Kaiser's initiative, and this has In
crsased the deep feeling Of uneasness which
mia restless aud powerful statesrnan's
,cuons have inspired from one end Of Europe
10 the other. So.
writing from st. Petersburg on July
n THE suns correspondent says: Among
All binds Of Russians the abiding impression
n, bv the Emperor's conference has In II q
s,se clement OF humiliation. The meet
he did not really surprise people here,
nut It set out clearly before their eyes the
horrible irony Of man constituted by char
actor and temperament as 10 Nicholas being
actually the autocrat over bigger slice Of
humanity than anybody else In the world.
Nobody here doubts that the Kaiser made
m the Cars mind for him. Two other
emnent autocrats. the sultans Of Turkey
and Morocco, have found on important
occssions that their interests ooincided
ooportunely with the Kaiser's. and now
ths Autocrat Of all tho Russias makes q
doGle third.
.This, Of course. is an o6ense to all indie
nendent minded Russians. To them the
chief concern is, not what advice was offered
or what taken, but the great patent fact
that at a moment when everything that the
name Of Russia stands for is passing through
the most terrible crisis In it's history the
hereditary, absolute ruler Of her destiniee
should go to a masterful foreigner whose
yery definite convictions arc Germany first,
second and all the time, and learn from
bin the next best thing to do for Russia.
THE Cars own people SEQ In this an
other Of those heavy strokes Of fate that
have fallen one after another throughout
bis dismal reign ever since thousands Of
is peasants trampled one another to death
sn the day OF his ooronstion.'
1t Is only natural, perhaps, that the Rus
Cans in the present miserable condition Of
their fortunes should regard chiefly this
aspect OF the case. Others, however,
an1iously sorutinize every possible spot
where and when the Kaiser's hands may
next appear. The opinion u distinctly
growing that In addition to . discussion OF
the war and Russia's internal condition the
Kaiser put forward prominently at the
meeting the Scandinavian question. He
b increasingly anxious to form Scandi-
navian dreibund, which has already been
referred to In these letters.
A writer In the Echo de Paris yesterday
outliness the German scheme in an article
which has attracted much attention. Re-
iarring to Emperor Williams anxiety to
treate . Scandinavian confederation OF
which no would be the great protector, the
Gsicle proceeds:
His candidate for tho Norwegian throne
w.uld not DO . Hohenzollern, but Danish
Prince. That candidature would be an
slcellent means Of reooncfiing Germany
aud Denmark Such combination would
necessarily excite the distrust Of Russia,
Who would, as a matter Of fact. have much
to lose and little to gain from the oonstitu-
ton Of q united Scandinavia, whose sym
pathes she could never secure. It was
therefore necessary for the Kaiser to seek
some ingenious means Of diminishing Rus
sian mistrust by offering serious compen-
sation It would consist Of proposing to
the Car, with the consent OF Norway. q
reotiflcation OF the frontier which would
give Russia Lyngen Ford, q magnificent
he free roadstead on the Norwegian coast
THE strangest feature Of the matter is
the fact that Russia has long been DESTROYS Of
obtaining possession Of Lyngen Fiord, that
desire having been one OF the causes OF
the Crimean War. Note the marvellous
Macbiavellianism OF the German policy,
which, in endeavoring to revive the question
Of Lyngen Ford, hopes. while tacilit ating the
scandina Wan scheme, to create serious
source Of friction between Russia and
England. The visit of the Kaiser to Copen-
hagen Immediately following the Bjoerkoe
conference gives a striking consistency to
the German schemes just set forth.
The Spectator devotee an article to specu-
htion as to what the Kaiser probably yad-
vised in regard to peace and the internal
arrangement oi Russia. Pointing out that
China has an. obvious claim to voice In
the disposal O: sianchuria and Is otherwise
In POSITION TO claim consideration, the
Spectator suggests that the Kaiser Use his
great influence at Pekin to throw Chinese
weight on the Russian side OF the scale,
and then try to secure peace which while
It will arrest actual war will leave Russians
and Japanese glari ng at each other as
potential foes who are unable to AFFORD
great enterprises lest their rivals take ad-
vantage Of the opportunity. Such peace
would probably conoede an indemnity. but
would leave North Manchuria In Russian
hands.
1t is suggested that the Kaiser, with the
ZANE object Of keeping his Russian neigh
Dor sufficiently weak to relieve him from
anxiety in Europe, will have to recommend
concessions in regard to a constitution.
A an upholder of the divine rights Of kings,
the Kaiser might be expected to uphold
the Gar in opposition to anything con-
trary to the monarchical principles, but. on
the other hand. most Germans believe that
I constitution in Russia would greatly
diminish the danger from the eastern border,
for, the Spectator says mobilization with
parliament il far more difficult usually
and far slower than without one. and a
declaration Of war In constitutional mon
archy requires reasons which are acceptable
