ST. PETERSBURG. Russia. June IL
Gar Nicholas and Emperor VIII
liam today met IN the Gulf Of Finland,
aboard the German imperial yacht,
Hohsnzollern. The meeting between the
two rulers, which It Is expected will
have great bearing on future European
politics. was attended by much pomp
and ceremony, and was far from the
mere friendly visit indicated IN pre-
linnjnary reports.
AS proof that politics win furnish
the chief topic of discussion is the fact
that the Gar Is accompanied by Pre-
Hier Stolypin. Minister OF Foreign AZ
fairs Iswolsky. Count Pourtaies, the
GeEnan ambassador to Russia. and
the German military and naval attaches.
while Foreign Minister Won Schoen and
other close advisers of the Kaiser ars
in the lattcr's suite.
The meeting took place in Pitikinas
Bay, a small inlet on the Southern
coast Of Finland. about sixty miles from
St Petersburg. Both royal yachts were
under an escort or warships and, as the
two squadrons appeared. salutes IN
honor OF the rulers were fred.
Kaiser Awaits Coming.
The Car embarked en- steam launch
and sped across the hay to the Hohen-
zollern, on the deck OF which the Kzaser
stood ready to embrace him.
II is uncertain how long the rulers
viii be together. though the visit is
scheduled 10 last until Saturday. TheTs
will be two great state bsnquets. one
aboard each Of the imperial yachts.
Though the Kaiser Is visiting Russian
waters on the invitation OF the Gar.
today's meeting was really proposed by
the Kaiser, VINO is sesir0us Of restoring
the former@ friendly relations het2@aa
Russia aHc Germany, relations. which.
for time seemed endangered as re-
suit OF GermanyS 5 coup IN the recent
Balkan dispute, when she forced Russia
TO accept the German-AustEian pro-
gram.
The meeting with the Car Is but one
link in the chain Of efforts the Kaiser
Is making to establish the absolute su-
premacy OF Germany in Europe.
Suspicious Aroused.
Germany regards with deepest sus-
cion the new tripartite entente betw
England. Russia. and France, and
cent acts of hers have given rise to Il.
suspicion that the Kaiser is seeking to
ALLEVIATE both Russia and France from
this union and attach them to her own
constellation OF powers.
In short. Germany. in the opinion IF
leading Russian diplomats, Is seeking
to substitute her own supremacy for
the present domination OF England.
That oVertures to this end will be
made in the meeting now IN progress
between two rulers no one denies. The
situation Is not altogether pleasing 10
Russia, who would like to maintain the
friendliest relations with England, but
who, through strees Of national weak
ness is forced TO throw her support to
whatever power seems most likely TO
gain the ascendancy. And this power
today appears to be Germany.
