BERLIN, Aug. 4.-Emperor William
returned from his cruise in Northern
waters looking bronzed and improved
IN health. He enjoyed the trip i'm
menSely, and, according to all reports.
there was a very lively time on board
the imperial yacht.
The maitre de plaisr of the emperor
was again Baron Won Heubsen,
young army officer and art connoiseur,
who endears himself TO the emperor by
his charming manners, vivacious talk
and rare social talents, amid which card
tricks and sleight-of-hand are not the
least.
Emperor William on his return had
long conference with Chancellor Won
Caprivi, and the chancellor is the guest
of his majesty on the HohenZollern.
One of the results OF the conference
was the dispatch of German war ships
to the far East. But German trade with
COrea is small when compared with that
of England, and there is no prospect of
other than neutral attitude. The SYM
pathy of the people, however, is rather
with the Chinese.
Halle Has Been En- Fete
this week in celebration of the BIZ
centenary of the university of that
place. The streets have been decorated
with flags, floral arches and festOons Of
flowers III prOfusion. Over 100 foreign
professors were present at the celebra-
ton, including delegates from most of
the countries of Europe and America.
The strange robes, hoods and pictures
on the costumes Of the different student
corps, the elaborate decorations and
fine weather combined to form most
brilliant scene. BanQuets and receptions
followed each other inquick succession.
From Norway Emperor William wrote
letter OF congratulatiOn to the author
tiles OF the university, in which he
dilated upon the epoch as marking the
progress of modern theology, law, phil
osophy and classical philologY. This
letter las been much discussed for it's
political bearings, which are decidedly
of a liberal tendency.
Prince Albrecht, who represented
Emperor William at the celebration, an
nounced that his majesty presented the
university with his portrait and dona-
ton of $4,000 marks, America was rep
resented at the Halle fetes by Prof. A.
Y. w. Jackson, the noted orientalist,
who appeared for Columbia, Yale and
Harvard, and DR.. Seiss, of Allentown.
Pa, and other noted men who call
Halle their alma mater.
