said to be the promotion of a compact for
the limitation of armaments. The Gar is
likely to have objections. The people of
Heligoland will give royal welcome to the
Emperor.

BERLIN, August 9.-One Of the results
of the interviews at Osborne between Queen
Victoria, Emperor William, the Prince of
Wales and Lord Salisbury is the withdrawal
of the candidature of Prince Waldemar for
the throne of Bulgaria. Family reasons,
notably the protest of the King Of Greece.
Influenced this decision. Under the prompt
ings of Emperor William, both the Queen
and the Prince of Wales are beginning to
take more active part in the foreign poll
tics of England.
To-night's Post gives suggestive promi-
nence to a special London dispatch saying
that, just as the Emperor's visit to Osborne
in 1883 afforded the starting point leading
to the Anglo-German agreement the visit OF
the Prince of Wales to Berlin was not with
out bearing upon the treaty, SO the Foreign
Office believe that there was political signii-
canoe of the present visit of the Kaiser, the
outcome of which may astonish the world.
THE EMPERoR's PROJECT.
The POSTS allusions, as read here under
the light of the reports circulating in the
official world, point to a project of the
Ksiser's to obtain the Czar's assent to an
other Berlin Congress aiming at general
European peace compact implying limita-
ton of armaments. Lord Salisbury declara-
tion at the Mansion House that Europe
was never more pacific and that the nations
were growingly inclined 70 peace indicated
the strain of his communications with the
Powers. The Kaiser, going to Russia as
the apostle OF peace, now desires the
Kaiserin to accompany him. The Czsrins
ignored the approaches of General Won
Schweinitz, the German Ambassador, re-
gardIng the reception of the Kaiserin, so
the Grand Duke of Hesse, on the solicita-
tion OF Emperor William, has started for
St Petersburg to arrange for the Kaiserin's
visit The belief in official circles here is
that the Gar will treat the league of peace
as a futiIity unless associated with the
restoration of Russian dominance in the
Balkans and the permanent satisfying of
France.
GERMANY IS STRENGTHENED.
Whatever the Kaifer's peace ideas may
be, his movements tend to strengthen Ger
manv in the event of war. His visit to
Norway was Immediately successful in in
ducing the Government to consent to the re-
cruitment OF Norwegians and Swedes for
the German navy, an ample supply OF fne
seamen being thus afforded. King Oscar
accepted an invitation to be present at
the grand land and sea maneuvers which
will take place in September. King Leo
pold similarly marks the entente achieved
at Ostend by promising his presence at the
maueuvers. The screeches of the French
press over the extension Of the German alli-
ances are not unprovoked.
The ReichSdnzeiger publishes an order
from General Won Caprivi quoting an In
perial decree placing Heligoland under the
CAPTAIN GeiseIer Governor and Privy Coun-
cilor Wermuth Commissioner.
RECEPTION OF HELIGoLAND.
As soon as the Landtag meets laws will
be passed making the island a part of Prus-
sis. The under officials will be appointed
hy the Governor. The inhabitants of He'll
goland are making extensive preparations
for the reception of the Emperor tomorrow.
The interest in the cession has grown in
intensity throughout Germany, and
Bremerhaven are taking thousands to
the island. 1t is improbable that there will
be suficiency of food to satisfy the wants
Of the visitors. The imperial yacht, Hohen-
zollern, is timed to arrive at 10 o'clock in
the morning. The landing stage has been
richly decorated with flags and garlands
and palms and q guard of soldiers and
sailors will await the Kaiser. The German
national hymn will be intoned by the naval
band. The cession OF the island will be
proclaimed and an address from the leading
inhabitants will be read. Bouquets will be
presented to Emperor William by Heligo-
land maidens attired in the picturesque
island costume.
THE DEFENSE OF GERMANY.
The Kaiser will walk the entire way from
the landing stage to the Government House
under flag draperies and floral festoons.
His Majesty will preside at a luncheon to
be given by the leading authorities, and
will spend five hours in viewing the island
before his departure. Among the decora-
tions are huge floral keys pendant from the
cliffs. These symbolic the fact that the
island becomes the keystone Of the defense
of the coast of Germany.
The festivities attending the Medical Con-
gress have constituted the heaviest work
that most of the delegates have had. There
has been a constant succession of banQuets
balls and receptions. At the opening ban
ouet. at which Prince Theodore, of Bavaria,
and Ministers Gossler and Boetticher were
present, DR.. Lyden proposed the health of
Minister Phelps, who, In his response,
pointed to the presence OF 6Z3 Americans as
most eloquent testimony to the interest
taken in the congress by the medical pro-
tesslon in America.
HoNoRs TO THE DOCTORS.
Tonight Mr.. Phelps marked the close Of
the congress with dinner given to Surgeon
General Hamilton and other army and navy
officials. Among the guests were Baron

Secretary Coleman Wood, of Philadel-
phis, at a crowded session read a paper di-
latiDg upon the increasing susceptibility of
Americans TO anasthetics. He said that
even American dogs were more susceptible
than European dogs. He showed a new
mask Tor facilitating the dispersal of auae,-
thetics in fine particles and rendering in
halation easier.
Prof. VirchoE, in his closing address.
noticed the fact that the congress had
brought together the greatest number of
scientists ever cOngregated. The proceed
ings, he said, had been in every wav worthy
of the medical science, and had been charsc-
terIzed by brotherly regard. DR.. Billings.
