Na,Ser arrived today from Holland
The Hohenzollern, as it approached
Shcerness, was received with an i'm
perial salute from the British squadron
in waiting, and the fleet presented n
spectacle which the Kaiser acknow-
lodged far surpassed anything that he
had seen in the navy display in Hol-
land. The Prince of Wales, the Dukes
Of Connaught and Edinburg, and the
members of the royal family went down
to greet the Kaiser on landing.
Tho greeting between the Prince OF
Wales and the Kaiser was carefully
noticed, and it appeared to be Of the
most cordial character, tho Kaiser
almost embracing his royal uncle.
Windsor is aglow with enthusiasm over
the expected arrival Of the Kaiser, and
elaborate preparations have been made,
both in the palace and in the town.
LONDON, July 4.-[Spccial An i'm
portant movement is imminent in
Russia, in shape of tho abolition of
trial by jury. This form Of trial has
never ben much of an obstruction in
the way of despotic government. as an
acquitted person who, in the opinion of
the authorities. ought to have been con
victed, was quietly seized and deportcd,
whittier nobody knows and nobody
dares to inquire. But the moral effect
of undcsired vcrdicts has some lines
been annoying: 1t is proposed to put
an end to this by sweeping the jury sys-
tenn out of existence, and also by sub
shutting, in the place of the Jury, a
stall Of Judges, appointed by the Judi
clal administration, and whose decis-
ion will be strictly Il register of the Off
cial will.
Hamburg, as the great German sea
port, is rapidly attaining metropolitan
proportions. Its inhabitants claim that
they can justly include within their
population the adjacent towns or sub.
| urbs of Alton, liarburff and Wandsbcc],
which would bring the grand total of
Great Hamburg up TO $4,000, the
population of the city proper being somo-
thing over Go, 900.
This rapid growth being over
100, 1000 in decade, brings with it. how
over, graver municipal responsibility,
and there is general demand for
moro efficient enforcement OF health
and quarantine regulations, particularly
against the interior.
The concentration of INN grants from
all parts of the world has brought dan

cautions are proposed for the exclusion

migrants from southern Europe arc be-

departure for tho United States, owing
TO prevalent impression that emil

and less rigidly scrutiniacd in America
The programme Of the state perform

Will include the first actof "Lohengrin,"
the last act of Idle Mcistcrsingcr, tho
chamber scene from Romeo" and tho
second act of die Fliegendo lIollan-
der" Tho first two are chosen more
especially because they include such

OF German sovereign and the crown

that they belong to two Of the finest
examples of modern German opera by

English reformers are watching u it'll
keen interest the working of the new
French law regulating racing and bet
ting, which does away with ready money

Such law in England would forcc
| thousands Of small bookmakers to re-
llnqnish their business and would vir-
tually abolish the pcrnciols starting
price system. 1t is generally believed
that the French government will not
succeed in a task of such great magni-
tudc and difficulty.
1t is also noted that tho French GOV
eminent intends to stop all racing
which does not really tend to encourage
the breeding Of good horses. This, with
Englishmen, would mean the prohibit
ion o; carly two ycar-old racing and of
those selling race surrics, OF which tho
Newmarket authorities are so fond.
The Prince of Wales and tho govern
ment feel greatly relieved at the action
which Mr.. Gladstone has taken during
the past few days. Although he, him
self, has been at his lowest, his iniu-
ence in London has been greatly felt.
