The alliance of the "Three Emperors" was renewed in 1881 and 1884. The second time, in 1884, Bismarck arranged for a personal meeting of the three Emperors, which took place in September, 1884, at Skiernevice; it was a great demonstration of monarchical friendship. But in 1887, when Russia inquired about the next renewal, she was met in Ber- lin, to her great surprise, rather coldly; the follow- ing negotiations lasted longer than usual. In Novem- ber of that year an important incident took pla...ce, which was bound to strain the relations between the two countries, the personal quarrel between Alexan- der and Bismarck concerning the forged Bulgarian let- ters. Bismarck never forgot Alexander's words. His demeanor regarding the renewal offended the Tsar very much and only added to his growing feeling of distrust of the Chancellor's policy in general. The treaty of "reinsurance, " as Bismarck called it, between Russia and Germany was finally signed in 1887 in Berlin, but there was no success in reestablish- ing friendly relation between the two countries.
