Berlin, Oct. 7.—Although Chancellor von Hohenlohe and most of the members of the German ministry will resume their departmental dutlee In Berlin today, consideration of the legislative programme for the coming session of the relchstag will not begin until the emperor returns to Potsdam, whloh he will do on October 31. During his stay in Rominten the kaiser has bulsed himself far more In studying foreign affairs than he has in domestic matters. Nevertheless he has not neglected the latter. On October 14 his majesty will start for Welsbaden, where the empress will join him. The programme arranged by the court marshal, marking out the progress of the emperor and his party through Alsace, Including tha ceremonies on the battlefield of Woerth, is now complete. It Is now arranged that the Imperial party, with the emperor's full suite, will attend a gala performance In the Welsbaden opera house, after whloh, on October 15, the kaiser will take a train at Welsbaden and proceed to Conroellee Kurzel near Metz. From there the imperial party will drive to the schloss at Urvllle where they will remain two days. On the journey from Courcelles Kurzel to Urville the emperor will be greeted with a popular reception which has been prepared by tho Inhabitants of the locality. The programme contemplates a demonstration of the school ehlldren and the various societies designated to give the emperor what teetlmony can be elicited of the contentment of the people of Alsace as German subjects. M. de Witta, Russia's finance minister, is still the eubject of political gossip and tha object of much attention In the popular endeavor to ascertain tha real reason of his stay In Berlin. Besldss negotiating a loan for the purpots of founding a great electrical plant in Rnssia II. aa Witta haa found time and opportunity to sound tha Berlin bankers on the subject of their assisting in the conversion of certain Russian railway bonds. Nobody now attributes his long stay in Bsriia to his desire to oonsult German physicians, which it waa given out was the raaaon of his coming here. M. Rathsteln, tha director of tha bank of St. Petersburg, who haa bean In Berlin simultaneously with M. da Wltte, has had ntafereneee with tha heads of several German financial houaos ta regard to the conversion of Russian raUw«y tends, and If the scha»e la undertaken It trill Involve operations re preseating 900,000,000 marks.

He desires to sound the courts of Oreat Britain, Spain, Italy and Germany as to whether they are inclined to support his throne in the event of a republican revolution.
