BERLIN, Aug. 2.-Before starting for
Ostend on his way to England yesterday
noon Emperor William held a council on
board the imperial yacht Hohenzollern,
which was attended by Chancellor Won Ca
privi and Ministers MIGUEL and Marxschal
all three of the ministers, accompanied by
Herr Won Bennington, who had been tele-
graphed for to confer with the emperor
Thursday, returned to Berlin last evening
The Hohenzollern left Wilhelmshaven at
noon, preceded by the squadron OF evolu-
tion, TO convey the emperor to Ostend to
visit King Leopold in response to the two
visits he paid to the court at Berlin.
OF A POLITICAL CHARACTER.
The political character of the meeting is
undoubted. No conference with a ruling
monarch that the emperor has yet projected
has been a mere courtesy. The progress of
Gen. Brialmonts plans for
State and German East Africa Company
will engage the attention of the monarchs
King Leopold, who is debarred from actual
adhesion to the triple alliance, is as strongly
biased thereto as Belgium policy permits.
He knows that If disasts Or befell Germany Ia
a war with France, Belgium would have a
small chance Of being spared by the French.
The personal esteem of the monarchs added
to TIE cordiality of their meeting.
THE ARRIVAL AT osTEND.
The Hohenzollern entered Ostend harbor
at L AS o'clock to-day. Immense crowds.
including a host OF German and English
VIC -, o., I
companied by the court Of Flanders, went
on board the Hohenzollern, and ELUSIVE
greetings were exchanged between the king
and Emperor William and Prince Henry.
The two monarchs then retired to the saloon
of the yacht, where they remained in con-
versation for half an hour. Afterward the
emperor went ashore, aud after inspecting
the guard of honor from the garrison, re-
ceived the Belgian ministers and the staff
Of the German legation.
A DRIVE TO THE PALACE.
After the reception the Kaiser and King
Leopold drove in a carriage to the summer
palace, followed by Prince Henry and the
Count of Flanders The whole route was
densely lined by spectators, and the cheer
ing was incessant. Emperor William has
telegraphed that here 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 hostile demonstration, 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.
A CONFERENCE AT THE PALACE.
Upon their arrival at the palace. Prime
D,f,, 10 fIn
foreign minister, and Gen. Pontus, minister
of war, had talks with the emperor.
Ostend was everywhere en- fete. In Brus-
sells the choral societies will give a concert
in the Kursaal, and the band of
the guards will perform at the
Casino. Tonight there will be u
torchlight procession comprising military
bands from Ghent, Antwerp, Namur and
Brussels, and 1,S00 soldiers bearing Japa-
neze lanterns and other Illuminated devices
Balls will be held, and there will be u uni
versal frolic till early morning.
the local authorities have arranged to
have numerous body of Brussels police to
assist them.
The emperor's visit to Ostend will termi-
nate 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.
BULGARIA's NEXT RULER.
Family meetings will be held at Osborne
to determine the question whether Prince
Waldemar of Denmark or Prince Oscar of
Sweden shall be placed upon the Bulgarian
throne. Emperor William continues to
favor Prince Oscar as the better choice on
the ground of his personal qualities. The
czar hitherto opposed to baving his brother
in-law ruler Of Bulgaria, now assents. The
Greek royalties strongly object to Prince
Waldemar. King George has written to
friends in the Danish and English courts
that the election of his brother to the Bull
garian. throne would raise a feeling Of
jealousy among the Greeks, and would i'm
peril the Duke Of Sparta's succession to the
throne of Greece. Diplomats who are
watching this family imbroglio probably
hit the mark in attributing the Czar's choice
Of Prince Waldemar to desire to keep the
Balkan fermenting.
Emperor William touches at Heligoland
on Aug. 10 and is timed to reach Berlin on
the 11th. He will pass three days with his
family before starting for Russia
RUssIA's UNFORTUNATE HEBREWS.
Orders have been sent to the frontier GUS
toms posts and to the railways in Poland to
watch for the threatened migration of Jews
from Russia. The new Russian regulations,
though not expressly aimed,at the expulsion
Of the Jews, will tend to drive from the
country vast bodies OF artisans and the
poorest farming Jews, who are largely
settled in the frontier provinces. Leading
jewish firms in Berlin, Hamburg and
Frankfort have communicated with repre-
sentative Jews in London for the purpose Of
preparing relief for the distressed Hebrews
Letters from rabbis in Russia mention
September as the period for enforcing the
regulations.
DREAD OF SIBERIA.
Dread of wholesale transportation to
Siberia for failure to observe the edicts
will impel the flight westward of many
thousands of Jews. Russian papers an
nounce that transportation to Siberia will
shortly be abolished as a Judicial punish
ment. They omit to mention the
fact that it will be maintained
as now without judicial sentence. The
latest notable instance of this kind is the
case of the celebrated novelist Gliyeb
Ushinsky. He was arrested at night, being
taken from bed, aud was confned for q
month in a secluded prison. ANY knowl-
edge of his whereabouts was refused his
friends. Finally they were told that he
had bee sent 10 PenchendoH. IL Is sup
posed that his offense was writing Il letter
TO the car In support OF the memorandum
sent his majesty by Nine. Tzebriekoya.
Ushinsky holds high literary position in
Russia, where no ls prominent. This, how
ever, ayailed him nothing. for he was rated
an a aomunou criminal
