BERLIN, Aug. l6.-The German ironclad
Irene and the imperial yacht Hohenzollern
were sighted off Memel this morning They
stopped for the Emperor Williams dis
patches and then proceeded northward for
Reval, where they are timed to arrive early
tomorrow. A Russian squadron, consist
ing Of eighteen vessels under COM
mand of the Grand Duke Alexis,
will fire salute upon the arrival of the
German vessels.
Grand Duke Vladimir will receive the
Emperor upon landing, and the regiment
of st. Petersburg Grenadiers. Of which the
Kaiser Is honorary colonel, will form a
guard of honor. The emperor's stay at
Reval will be very brief The czar desired
that the emperor should 60 straight to st.
Petersburg instead of landing
THE ANTI-GERMAN SENTIMENT.
The anti-German sentiment continues
strong. The kaiser was not left in Ignorance
OF the cZar's wishes, but having expressed
his determination to see Reval he declined
to alter his route. Gen. Won Schweinitz.
the German ambassador to Russia, reached
Reval last evening, and gave an interview
to number of German residents who were
deslrous of presenting addresses. II was az
ranged that the emperor would receive
representative OF the German colony, but
any address beyond formal greetings has
been tabooed In Difference to Russian
Jealousies II the empress had accompanied
the emperor there would have been a re-
ception. The cZarina treated the suggestion
of the visit Of the empress with sucn indif-
ference that Gen. Won Schweiuitz was
advised to abandon the idea.
CIRCUMSTANCES OF THE MEETING.
The whole initial circumstances of the
emperor's entrance into Russia will militate
against monarchism. and his meeting with
the czar will be in genuine spirit of cor.
diality. At noon the emperor will start for
Narva. That city is decorated with flowers,
and triumphal arches have also been
erected. A villa belonging to NJ. Polulit-
hetf, wealthy land owner and large man
ufacturer, has been placed at the disposal of
the czar, and will be- the scene of the meet
ing which is destined to become historic.
Russian police will guard the approaches
to the villa, and they will be assisted bv
fifty German police who left here Thurs
day. Public traffic on the railroad Connect
ing Narva with st. Petersburg has been
suspended, and the line will be used only
for official business during the coming
week. The roAd has been throughly in
speoted and watch has been SGT
along the line. A few newspaper men
have obtained permits under conditions
which will subject their reports to strict
cenorship.
THE CONFERENCES
H. de Giers returned to-day to st. Peters
burg from his summer residence In Fin
land, and will proceed to Narva, where the
military maneuvers begin on Monday next.
The imperial conferences, at which Chan
cellor Won Caprivi and NJ. de Giers will be
present, are expected to last over three
days. If the emperor fails to persuade
the car toward a permanent policy of
peace, conditions to be arranged through
revision of the Berlin treaty by another
European congress, official opinions have
decided that rapid developments tending
toward European conflict are certain to
follow.
FOREIGN GOVERNMENTS ON THE WATCH.
The Russian government appears to be
acting in full concert with the French
authorities. The holiday leave Of Baron
Won Mohrenheim, the Russian ambassador
at Paris, was stopped ip order to have him
remain at his post in communication with
NJ. Ribot regarding what passes between
Emperor William and the czar.
Sir r. D.. Morier, the British ambassador
to Russia, passed through here On a train
tonight. returning to his post at st. Peters
burg from London to watch the negotia-
tions.
RUssIA's HEBREWS.
Baron Won Moshenheim was the medium
of the representations against the persecu-
ton of the Jews which led TO the abandon
ment of the application of the ukases The
relations Of the leading Jewish financial
houses in Germany and Austria toward
the Russian government are such as
to render the success OF the remon-
STRANGE improbable. Jewish farms in
Paris are trying to influence the French
government to operate upon the Russian
authorities. Even the advice of the French
might not have availed unless it had been
backed by an intimation that the Jewish
bankers In Paris would Join the German
and English financial combination against
Russian stocks. The Rothschilds took the
initiative in the protest and followed it up
with subsequent energetic action till
assurance was obtained that the existing
conditions Of the Russian Jews would not
be made worse.
GERMANY's SOCIALISTS.
The minister of the interior has sent a
circular to the authorities relative to the
measures TO be ado pied to restrain the
socialist propaganda on the special law
against socialists. The circular directs
severe application Of the ordinary laws
against them. The police must not hesitate
to dissolve the meetings at which seditious
speeches are made or suppress doubtful as
sociations The Votksbldtt, commenting on
the circular, says: "If the law of oppression
disappears the policy of repression con-
tinues." Progressst papers regret the
issuing of the circular as practically re-
newal of special measures against the social
lists. The scheme to reorganizs q socialist
party meets with hostile criticism from
several of the party organs. The prospect
that the coming congress will end in a
rupture in the ranks Of the party increases.
RITTER's TRIBUTE TO THE EMPEROR.
Hsrr Ritter, free conservative member
of the lower house OF the Prussian
diet, in speech at Walden
burg to-day said that from per-
sonal observation in the state council he
had the highest appreciation of the per-
sonality Of the Emperor. No German de-
voted himself more exclusively, with every
fiber OF his being and all the warmth
