COUNCIL HELD.


noon the Emperor William held a
council on board the imperia l
yacht Hohenzollern which was attended
| by Chancellor Won Caprivi and Ministers
Miguel and Masshal. All three of the
| ministers, accompanied by Herr Won
Bennighen, who had been telegraphed
for to confer with the emperor on Thurs
day, returned TO Berlin last evening.
The Hohenzollern left WiIhemshaven at
noon, preceded by the squadron of evo-
luton, to convey the emperor to Ostend
TO visit King Leopold in response to the
two visits he has paid to the court at
Berlin. The political character of the
meeting ia understood. No con-
ference with ruling mon
arch that the emperor has yet
projected has been a mere courtesy.
The congress to consider Gen. Brial-
mont's plan for chain of frontier for
tresses and the relation of the Congo
states and German East Africa will en-
gage the attention of the monarchs.
King Leopold, who is debarred from
actual adhesion TO the triple alliance is
Us strongly biased thereto as the Belgian
policy permits. He knows that If dsas-
ter befell Germany in war with France
Belgium would have small chances OF
being
SPARED BY THE FRENCH.
The personal esteem of the monarch
added to the cordiality of the meeting.
The Hohenzollern entered Ostend har-
Dor to-day. Immense crowds, including
a host of German and English visitors,
lined the way. King Leopold, accom-
panied by the count of Flanders, went
on board the yacht and ELUSIVE greetings
were exchanged between the king and
the Emperor William and Prince Henry.
The two monarchs then retired to the
saloon of the imperial yacht, where they
remained in conversation for half an
hour. Afterwards the emperor went on
shore and, after inspecting the guard of
honor from the garrison, received the
Belgian ministers and the staff of the
German legation. After the reception
the kaiZer and KING Leopold drove in
carriage to to the summer palace, fol-
lowed by Prince Henry and the count of
Flanders. The whole route was denselY
LINED BY SPECTATORS.
and the cheering was incessant The
Emperor William has telegraphed here
that he WAS delighted with his recep-
ton. Warnings had reached the Berlin
police that anarchists OF Leige who are
affiliated with the French socialists
meant TO make hostile demonstration
and if possible to attack the person of
the kalzer. This information caused
extra precaution to be taken aud force
of German private police assisted the
Belgian police. Nothing married the
welcome. Upon the arrival at the
palace Prime Minister Berharnt, Prince
DechinaY, foreign minister, and Gen.
Hanters, minister of war, had
TALKS WITH THE EMPEROR.
Ostend was everywhere en- fete. In
Brussels the choral societies Will give
concert at Kursal, and the band OF the
Guards will perform at the Casino.
Tonight there will be torchlight pro-
oession. comprising the military bands
from Client, Antwerp, Kamur and Brus-
sells, 1900 soldiers bearing japanese Ian
terms, and other illustrious personagss.
Balls will be held, and there will be an
universal frolic till early morning. The
local authorities arranged to have
numerous body of Brussels police to
assist them. The emperor's visit to
Ostend will terminate on Monday. or
cial expectation here will be queit at
fault if the interview does not result in
Belgium becoming a sleeping partner in
the triple alliance.
THE OSBORNE MEETING.
A family meeting will be held at Os-
borne to determine whether Prince
Waldemar of Denmark or Prince Oscar
of Sweden shall be placed on the Bull
garian throne. The Emperor William
continues to favor Prince Oscar as the
better choice on the ground of his per-
sonal qualities. The czar hitherto OPP
posed to having his brother-in-law the
ruler of Bulgaria now assents. The
Greek royallsts strongly object to
Waldemar. King George has written to
friends in the Danish and English courts
that the election of his brother to the
Bulgarian throne would raise a feeling
of Jealousy among the Greeks and would
imperil the duke of Sparta 8 succession
to the throne of Greece The diplomats
who are watching this family imbroglio
probably hit the mark in attributing the
czar's choice of Prince Waldemar to a
desire to keep the
BALKAN FUSS FoNrENTNG.
The Emperor William touches at
Heligoland on the 10th inst and is timed
to reach Berlin on the 18th. He will
pass three days with his family before
starting for Russia.
Orders have been sent to the frontier
customs posts ana the railways IN Poland
to watch for the threatened immigration
of Jews from Russia. The Russian regu-
lations, though not expressly aimed at
the expulsion of Jews, will tend to |
drive from the country vast bodies of |
artisans and the poorest farming Jews,
who are largely settled in the provinces. |
Leading Jewish firms in Berlin, Ham |
burg and Frankfort have communicated |
with representative jews in London for |
the purpose of preparing relief for the |
distressed Hebrews. Letters from rabbis
in Russia mention September as the |
period for enforcing the regulations.
Dreaded wholesale transportation to
Siberia for failure to observe the edict
will compel the flight westward of many
thousand Jews.
SIBERIAN TRANSPORTATION.
The Russian papers announce that
transportation to Siberia will shortly be
abolished as judicial punishment. They
omit to mention the fact it will be mann
tanned as now without judicial sentence.
The latest notable instance of this kind
is the case of the celebrated novelist,
Glyen Uspinsky. He was arrested at
night, being taken from his bed and con.
