FROM ACROSS THE WATERS
The Meeting of the Two Rulers Has a
Satisfactory Result Upon
William.
1t is Said That the German Emperor
Desires Another European
Congress.
Austrian Officials Look With Intense
Distrust Upon the Action of
Kaiser.

BERLIN, Aug. 23.-Tonight' S news from
Peterhof convey distinct impression that
the imperial meetings have mad highly
satisfactory result upon Emperor William.
The officials of the foreign Office here
maintain absolute reticence regarding the
nature of the German emperor's proposals,
but admit that there was immense politi-
cal significance IN the interview. Advices
from various reliable sources all confirm
the announcement that Emperor William
desires that another European congress shall
be held with preliminary cessation Of
further ornaments Whatever was the
nature of the inducements offered by the
car, it is certain that he has met the en-
peror's overtdres favorably. Since that first
conference with Chancellor Won Caprivi,
communications have been passing be
tween the authorities here and at Vienna
with a view to expediting a meeting
between the emperors William and Francis
Joseph. Austrian official circles regard
the impending change in position with in
tense distrust. Hence the semi-official
press of Vienna throw doubt ON the prob
ability of holding another European con-
gress and profess their incredibly as to
the emperor presence at Petershof caus-
ing a great political transition.

CONDEMSE ED IN RUSSIA.
Swin5urDe's Latest Ode Excluded From
Entering the Country.

LONDON, Aug. 22.-Information comes
today from St. Petersburg that the cen
sors Of the postal department have is
sued an ukaSe prohibiting the entrance
of the last number of the Fortni ghtly
Review, which contains Mr. Swim
burnes Ode to Russia. In the first
few copies of the periodical which were
allowed to pass into the country sever
al passages of this ode were erased but
it would now appear that the censurs
whole production is inhammatOry matter
Of the worst description, and that the en-
trance of the periodical is fraught with
danger. One of the lines effaced reads as
follows:
s'Night has but one red star Tyrannicde.
Another contained the unpleasant sug
gestions:
f'Down the way of cars awhile in vain deferred,
Bid the second Alexander light the third.
But the most denunciatory verse, and
the one which was completely blotted out
by the censor's brush, reads Us follows:
Maidens dead beneath the claspng lash, and
wives
Rent with deadlier pangs than death for shame
survives,
Naked, mad, starved, sccurged, spurned, rozen,
fallen, defowered,
Souls and bodies as by fangs of beasts de-
voured,
Sounds that hell would hear not, sights no
thoughts could shape,
Limbs that feel as flame the ravenous clasp of
rape,
Filth of raging crime and shame that crime en-
joys,
Age made one with youth in torture, girls with
These, and worse, if aught be worse than these
things are,
Prove these regent hussia-praise thy mercy
Gar.
