Others on. the yacht were: Capt. Hintze, naval attache of the German Embassy, also a part of courtiers, and the Emperor's ,escort of sailors and Marines, with,a guard, accompanied by Admiral Neoloff. A Personal Deal. It is noticeable that there is no rep- resentative of the Russian Foreign Of- fice among the Emperoe's entourage, nor is the German Ambassador, Count Alvesleben, on board the Polar Star. 1' This gives eelor to the report that the --finheeting was arrauged betevcen the two Emperors directly without recourse to the usual diplomatic channels, Emperor • William suggested the rendezvous by telegraph from Hernoceand, Sweden. The idea, tho report says, met with the Emperor's favor, but the final arrange- inente were only completed yesterday end some members of the Imperial fam- ily were hastily commanded. last night to accompany His Majesty. Berlin, July 22.—The meeting of the Kaiser is the exclusive object of the Czar's journey. The Czar expressed desire to consult the Kaiser, and tne sea was selected as the meeting place as the Czar cannot go to Germany nor can the Kaiser go to Russia DU account of the political condition. These are es- tablished facts. Not Ready for Liber0. St. Petersburg, July 23.—Ruseia, is not yet ripe for Parliamentary institutions. The nation lacks both leaders and edu- cation in load self-government. This is the view of Constantine Petrovitch Pobiedonostieff, Procurator - General of the Holy Synod, who for two generations was one of the moving spir- its in. Russia's internal policy. Ile said - the reformers were largely theorists, who aiasevere attempting to fit the cloth of we'd - ern institutions to a nation having its own peculiar and distinetive ideas and institutions. "Whatever the outcome of the present movement may be," he eaid "there will be more agrarian disorders and uprisings, like that headed by the rebel Cossack, Y.emelyan Pugaticheff, and he determined to fly from the danger on his yacht. There is another element in the situa- ion, however, of winch no knowledge. The German Government ia interested in Alinister from oither Government WAR 1 present, although the Russian Minister of Marine is iri Emperor Niehoittai suite.

Such an idea credits them with as little sense as has been shown by the Czar himself (luting the past few months. They ere wither blind nor fools. "They realize fully that the Emperor's vacillation has createa a situation which requires substantial concession to pop - tiler demand, a certain amount of germ inc reform, and above all, a strong ad- ministration at its source. The Czar's weakness has so exasperated them that they aro almost hopeless of accomplish- ing anything nucler his titular sover- eignty, The reader can draw his own conclusions from that situation." Oyama's Sickle. Tjridiapudze, Mancburia, July 22.—The Japanese armies at present occupy the position of an immense sickle with the handle reaching from a few miles south of Liaoyang and passing through Chang.

The Japanese extreme left is guarded by Gen. Tamura's cavalry division. The Chinese in the Japanese service are in the centre, screened by cavalry under the command of Gen. Okihara. The rains this year have been less hasty than usual, and it will be possi- ble to begin operations sooner than ex- pected. Japanese cruisers are making demon- strations along- the coast in the rear of tbe Russian forces in Corea, evidently intent on facilitating the advince of Gen. Hasegawa's force by menacing the Russian line of communicatious. Nearing Vladivostock. St. Petersburg, July 23.—The Novoe Vremya says that Japanese torpedo boats, taking advantage of a thick mist and rain, have approached several bays nearer Vladivostock. They landed a party at Gashkevitch Gulf, near Possiet Bay. Jap Bayonet Charges Already Repulsed.
