 Berlin, June 29.-As a last effort to put an end to the bitter feeling between the German and English nations the Kaiser and kaiserin will visit King Edward and Queen Alexandria in England this fall | That this Is q great sacrifice on the part of both monarchs who, though uncle | and nephew, dislike each other most cor
 dially. every one knows; but now that
 the visit has been decided upon. the | Kaiser wants to make sure that its effect
 shall not be lost, and has given his orders
 to the official and semi-official press ac- | cordingly. These papers, therefore, are full of information concerning the visit
 to such an extent that it borders on the ridiculous. The Kaisers subjects are told that their sovereign received a real writ ten invitation rom his uncle Edward and that 1t was worded in such a man | ner that it could not be refused It is thus imprinted on the minds of the German people that the Kaiser has not gone out of his way to approach England, which is yearnng for the friend ship of the mighty Teutons. The imperial couple will furthermore avoid going to England during the cowes week, because this might look as if the; mere merely going to view the regatta. It Is also said that since their meeting. at Friederichsruhe they have been the best of friends; that the royal uncle has shoWered attentions upon his imperial nephew and Germans will therefore now. 1T they desire to be good loyal sub Jects abstain from expressing any Ill will toward England. But deep in their hearts they will all know that both Will liam and Edward will be far happier when they part than when they meet
 Another piece of news, which has ere ated much more joy in Germany than the kaisers visit to England is the fact that French Journalists and among these the editors of nearly all the most promi- nent French papers, have decided to visit Berlin in body,
 The French wielders of the pen are com ing uninvited, hut they wiz be, none the less welcome, because their visit is taken to De sign that the French hatred of thelr conquerors of thirty-five years ago Is about to disappear.
 The wife of Professor Burgess of Co., lumbia university, who is lecturing at bahh, IS at work upon d portrait of Prince August Wilhelm fourth son of the Kaiser who is attending the lectures
 The painting. which is said to be an excellent likeness, is to be presented to the Kaiser, which Is sure to mean that the New York professor will not go back to America with an empty buttonhole.
 At an informal discussion In the Navy club the other night, when several prom | officers American controversy was debated and the consensus of opinion was that not only IS war between the two countries inevitable, but that the Japanese want 1t and want it soon. They will however want to pick their own time to begin.
 The fact that they have secured an en- trance to the French money market is thought to be one of the first adroit moves of the Japanese, who are well aware of the immense wealth of America
 Most or the officers present agreed that war between America and Japan two hitherto unconquered nations would be very interesting and 1t was said by prominent naval critic that the outcome ought to be satisfactory no matter which country was defeated, as either nation was In the need of having some of the conceit beaten out.
 It Is safe to say, however that should the war come, German sympathy would be with the Americans, as representa- tives of the white race.
 A few weeks ago real swell turned up here, young man who called himself Count Stainslas von Ludowsky, and who created sensation by his reckless extray- aganee.
 He seemed to care little for Berlin so- ciety. fact which caused no great com. ment as he was supposed to be Pole, but he soon became very popular in the American colony, where he began to nav assidious court to several daughters of American millonaires.
 Suddenly, just as he was abom to reach his goal, when one of these girls was on the point of becoming publicly engaged to him, he disappeared.
 The girl was heartbrolxen until she learned the reason of his disappearance. The police had made Berlin too hot for him. and are now looking for nim every where to arrest him for having stolen 400 mark from the desk of a rich manufact. urer, in whose house he was a freouent and honored guest.
 The man, who was no count. Is A real Rallies, and has stolen every penny of the money he spent so lavishly from peo pie whose hospitality he had enjoyed.
 The Russian government is evidently determined to do away with even the sem blance of free press. Scores of liberal papers who had dared to criticise the dissolution of the Duma have been heavily fined and many radical papers have been entirely suppressed.
 In Moscow alone the fines amounted to 5O0W roubles, several editors have been arrested and others escaped only by a nasty flight.
 Among these latter is t.. famous con stitutional democrat and former Duma member, Gortschoff, from Eizabethgrad, who is thought to be on his way to America
 Driven almost insane by the threats of the terrorists, young Russian officer, Lieutenant Wujakewitch of Kieff has committed suicide. The young man. who had the reputation of being military genius, had taken active part in the sup= pression of the mutiny in the pioneer bat tallions at Kieff.
 Since then he had daily received threat eninS letters, which informed him that he had been sentenced to die and that he might as well arrange his affairs.
 The other morning he was found dead at his quarters in the barracks. He left letter in which he said that he preferred suicide to being murdered. There is a rumor, however, to the ef- feet that a terrorist disguised as a soldier invaded his room, forced him to write
