which was attended by Chancellor Won
Caprivi and Ministers MIGUEL and
MarschalI All three of the ministers,
accompanied by Herr Won Bennigsen,
who had been telegraphed for to confer
with the emperor Oh Thursday, returned
to Berlin last evening. The Hohenzol-
lern left Wilhelmshaven at noon,
preceded by the squadron of
evolution, to convey the emperor
to Ostend to visit King Leo
pold in response to the two visits he
paid to the court at Berlin. The polit-
icaI character of the meeting is un-
doubted. No conference with Il ruling
monarch that the emperor has yet pro-
jected has been mere courtesy. The
progress of Gen. Brialmont'S plans for
chain of frontier fortresses, and the
relations of the Congo State and Ger
man East Africa will engage the atten-
ton Of the monarchs. King Leopold,
who is debarred from actual adhesion
to the triple alliance. is as
Strongly BIASED Thereto
as the Belgian policy permits. He
knows that if disaster befell Germany
in war with France, Belgium would
have small chances of being spared by
the French. The personal esteem of
the monarchs added to the cordialtty OF
their meeting. The Hohenzollern en-
tered Ostend harbOr at l As O'Clock to-
day. Immense crowds, including a host
of German and English visitors, lined
the harbOr. King Leopold, accompa-
MED by the Count of Flanders. went
on board the HohenZ0llern and effusive
greetings were exchanged between
the king and Emperor William and
Prince Henry. The two monarchs
then retired to the saloon of the imper-
ial yacht, where they remained in con-
versation for half AN hour. Afterwards
the emperor went ashore, and after in
speeding the guard OF honor from the
garrison, received the Belgian ministers
aud the staff of the German legation.
After the reception, the kaiser and
King Leopold drove in carriage to the
summer palace. followed by Prince
Henry ana the Count of Flanders. The
whole route was denSely lined by spec
tators, and the cheering was Incessant.
Emperor William has telegraphed here
that he was delighted with his reception
Warnings had reached the Berlin police
that the anarchists of Liege, who are
affiliated with the French socialists,
meant to make a

and, if possible, to attack the person of
the kaiser. This information caused
extra precautions to be taken. and a
force of German private police assisted
the Belgian police. Nothing marred
the enthusiasm of the welcome upon
their arrival at the palace. Prime Min
lister Bernaert, Prince de Chimay, for
eign minister, and Gen. Puntus, min
lister Of war, had talks with the emperor.
OStend was everywhere en- fete. In
Brussels, the choral societies in the
KurSal and the band of the guards will
perform at the Casino. Tonight there
was a torchlight procession of military
bands from Antwerp, Client. Namur
and Brussels, and 1880 soldiers bearing
japanese lanterns and other Illuminated
devices. This evening a banquet
was given at the palace in honor of En-
peror William. Besides King Leopold,
the Count of Flanders and Prince Bald
win, all the principal civil and military
authorities and a number of eccleoiaS-
teal dignitarieS were present. No toasts
were offered. After the banquet the
emperor appeared Oh the balcony and
reviewed a tOrchlight procession. The
people gave the emperor a very enthu-
SiaStic reception. Balls were held, and
there will be a universal frolic until
early morning. The local authorities
arranged to have numerous body Of
Brussels police to assist them. The en-
peror'S visit to OStend will terminate on
Monday. Official expectation here will be
quite at fault if the interview does not
result in Belgium becoming a sleeping
partner in the triple alliance. Family
meetings will be held at Osborne to de-
