The French Element Re-
manned Passive, but Ger
mans We're Delighted.
An Imperial Decree Thanking
the People for Their Brill
liant Reception.
Relations Between England
and Germany Are Begin

to enthusiasm, the emperor'S reception
indicates the remarkable progress made
in Germanizing the provinces during
the past decade. The journey from
Strasburg to Metz was triumphal
progress. All the intermediate stations
were gaily decorated and crowded with
people who cheered the emperor
whose tact in the difficult and
tempting circumstances was remarka-
able. He made brief replies to the
various toasts, etc., but said not word
at which the French could be offended.
The only incident that can possibly
cause anxiety arose from the passport
question. The president Of the Stras-
burg chamber of commerce, In 0elng
presented to the emperor, petitioned
him to abolish the present rigorous reg
ulations. The emperor briefly expressed
regret at his
INABILITY TO DO ANYTHING
in this direction. By order of Prince
Won Hohenlohe. an imperial decree was
published in Strasburg tonight express
ing the thanks of their majesties for the
brilliant receptions accorded them,
which, the decree says, strengthen the
conviction that these originally German
territories inhabited as they are by an
honest, intelligent population, will be-
come still more closely attached to the
fatherland. The emperor las sent
life-size portrait of himself to Prince
Won Hohenlohe. At a gala din
ner in Muenster castle tonight
the emperor, replying TO
toast to his health, dwelt upon
the energy of the Westphalians, whose

youth, his tutor having been West

itself loyal to the Prussian house. He
hoped that the Westphalian sword,
which had always kept its edge, would
IN the future, as in the past, give ev-
idence of its keenness if it should again
be necessary to unsheath 1t in defense
of the newly united fatherland. He

PROSPERITY TO WESTPHALIA."
Copenhagen kilograms announce that
the ear and cZarina boarded the I'M
perial yacht at PeterhOf yesterday, and
were expected in Copenhagen on Tues
day, but at the last moment the sailing
was postponed. Gen. Schuvalotf, the
Russian minister, returned here
Wednesday. Count Nessel rode. the
cars master of ceremonies, has also ar
IDENTIFY expecting q visit from the car.
Count Herbert Bismarck, interruptlng
his holiday, left Hamburg to-day for
Muenster, presumably to consult the
emperor regarding the cZar'S visit. The
belief now is that the car will dlSem-
bark at Stettin, en- route to Copenhagen,
ana have a brief. quiet meeting with the
emperor at PotSdam. There will be no
military display, such as was presented
for King Humbert and Emperor Joseph,
all the guards having departed for the
autumn maneuvres in Sile5ia. An in
Spired article in the Cologne Gazette on
the results of the emperOr'S visit TO Us
borne says the relations between Eng
land and Germany, out OF which much
matter for Supertfuous dlsharmony mas
been eliminated, is beginning to be much
more friendly. Owing, however. to the
opposition of the Radicals i'll parliament,
the English government is compelled
to proceed cauti ouSlY toward a rappro-
element with Germany. The Cologne
Gazette adds: Whether the car
comes or not, there is small hope that
the relations between Russia and Ger
many will improve" The North Ger
man Gazette reproduces an official arti-
Gle of the Hamburg Correspondent to
the effect that the czar's visit cannot in
tiuence the question OF
PEACE OR WAR.
The Novoe Vremya and other leading
Russian papers are making open bids
forTurkish support as counterbalanee
to the powerful combination of Central
European powers. The ministerial
council has decided to reassemble the
reichstag i'll the middle OF October for
the purpose of submitting to it several
impoItant measures. Prince Bismarck
and Herr Oelschlaeger had a long con-
ference to-day on the Subject of negotia-
lions between various German govern.
ments regarding new repressiVe social
ist laws. The police have prohib-
tied the circulation of a pamph-
let which the socialists have just pub
lished. with view to enlisting public
sympathy. The Silesian Gazette pub
fishes statistics showing al uninter-
rupted growth of socialism. The city
of Berlin i'll 1882 contained twenty-four
socialist societies; now it contains over
one hunGred. Bavaria in 1881 had 1.021
societies, with $4,000 members. She
now has 1900 societies. with $4,000
members. Referring to the report that
deputatiOn of CretanS were going to
solicit Emperor Williams protection,
the Post says that such
STEP WILL BE IN VAIN,
as the emperor has entered into no OBJ
legations for the protection of subjects
under Turkish rule. 1t is reported that
TippOo Tbs son has arrived in ZanZi-
bar and that he will mediate between
Capt. Wissmann and RuShiri to restore
peace. This recent rise in the price of
diamonds has bttracted attention. Ger
man operators have made extensive
purchases of De Beers shares in the
London market aud intend to have them
quoted on the Berlin boerse. The De
Beers mines practically control the dia-
mond market. The idea Is to limit the
production and thus maintain prices.

An Umbrella Thief Inundated.
Utica Observer.
az saw an attempt to steal an UNI
brella that amused me the other day.
said a gentleman last evening. II wa
coming home on the train and got into
conversation with friend in a seat Op-
posite me- TO make it more pleasant
he crossed the aisle and sat with me,
leaving his umbrella, a very beautiful
one, standing in the seat he vacated.
AT the first station man came in,
and though there were other vacant
seats, seated himself in the one where
the umbrella was standing. My friend
quietly nudged me and we kept on
talking. Pretty soon this umbrella
lost its upright position in the cor
ner and leaned affectionately against
the well-dressed stranger, who felt
the texture of its silk and the carving
of the handle with evident relish.
Another station was reached and the
stranger rose to leave the train. Under
his arm the umbrella found resting
place, and as he walked down the aisle
my friend followed close at his heels.
He had reached the depot platform
when the owner Of the umbrella tapped
him quietly on the shoulder and said:
Please return my umbrella to the seat
you took it from
lone glance at the speakers eyes
convinced the Would-be thief that he
meant what he was saying, and he
mounted the coach steps and walked to
the seat and set the umbrella in the
corner without word. Those in the
car had by this time become aware of
the nature of the difficulty, and as the
