BERLIN, Aug Before starting for
Ostend, on his way to England, yesterday
noon, Emperor William held council on
board the imperial yacht Hohenzollern,
which was attended by Chancellor Caprivi
and Ministers MIGUEL and Marschal. The
Hohenzollern left Wilhemshaven at noon
. to convey the Emperor to Ostend to visit
2 King Leopold. The political character of
the meeting is undoubted. The Hohenzol-
lern entered Ostend Harbor at 40 o'clock
to-day. An immense crowd, including most
ofthe German and English visitors, lined
:1tbe quay. King Leopold, accompanied by
the Count of Flanders, went on board the
q. HGhenzolleTn and ELUSIVE greetings were
. exchanged between the King and Emperor
William and Prince Henry.
The two monarchs then retired to the sa-
loon of the imperial yacht, where they re-
manned in conversation half an hour. AT
terward the Emperor went ashore and
after inspecting the guard OF honor from
the garrison, received the Belgian Min
listers and the staff OF the German Lega-
tion.
Warnings reached the Berlin police that
the anarchists Of Liege, who are affiliated
with the French socialists, meant TO make
a hostile demonstration and if possible at
tack the peTsOnof the Kaiser. This infor-
nation caused extra precautions to be
taken, but nothing marred the enthusiasm
OF the Welcome upon their arrival at the
Summer Palace. Ostend was everywhere en-
fete.

Russian papers announce that transporta-
tiun to Siberia will shortly be abolished as
judicial punishment, but omit to mention
the fact that 1t will be maintained as now
without judicial sentence. The latest in
stance is The case of the celebrated novelist

confined in a secluded prison, any knowl-
edge of his whereabouts being refused his
