Emperor William held council on board
the imperial yacht Hohenzollern, attended
by Caprivi and Ministers Miguel and
Marchal. The Hohenzollern left Wilhelm
at noon to convey the emperor to Ostend
on visit to King Leopold. The political

eifusive greetings were exch anged between
the king and Emperor William and Prince
Henry. The two monarchs then retired to
the salon OF the imperial yacht, where they
remained in conversation for half an hour.

Orders have been sent to frontier Gus
toms posts and railways to watch for the
threatened migration of Jews from Poland

Russian papers announce that transpor-
taiion to Siberia will shortly be abolished
as judicial punishment, but omit to
mention the fact that it will be maintained
as now, with judicial sentence. The latest
notable instance is the case of
the celebrated novelist Uspensky. He
was arrested at night and
confined in secluded prison, any knowl-
edge of his whereabouts being refused his
friends for q long time. Finally they were
told he had been sent to Saratov pending
