from her husband. In which he expresses DOUBT
whether nc will i've to see his family again. The

transferred from Clarvaux to Mines, In Southern
France Mr. Waller expresses himself as being
nearly because Of his failure TO see
his wife and children when they passed through
France within fifty miles OF his prison. Ambassa-

The Emperor Congratulated on His Sue
cess-The Ball Coming Events.
Berlin, June 22.-Yesterday and today
the incoming trains of the north have
been crowded with Berliners returning
from the Kiel fetes Everybody is happy
and brim full of enthusiasm and all
agree that everything passed off without
a hitch that the most captious could cavil
at. The concord displayed by the officers
and men of the various fleets assembled
was perfect, and is regarded as the
strongest paciflcatory augury for the fu-
ture that could possibly be made. Upon
all sides the emperor is congratulated
upon his tact and diplomacy, and it is
universally admitted that he has on this
occasion added the key stone to the CO.
lossal arch of his success. He has GER
tainly proved himself to be most master
full in the art of conciliation AMI is receiv
ing his full due of encomiums.
The German press generally are echo
ing and re-echoing expressions of salts
faction at the way things have gone and
declare that the proceedings as whole
could not be surpassed as a series OF
events beneficial to the empire, and
ought to prove to the world the pacific
nature of the German nation and the Su-
preme desire for peace which finds ex-
pressions through the e.nperor's words
and the popular demonstration Wh1ch ac-
companied them.
The Tageblatt says that although the
opening of the canal was accompanied
by formidable displays of naval strength
the real significance of the celebration
could not be mistaken. The emperor
placed the enormous power of the coun-
try at the service of peace and interna-
tional commerce. The canal is not
warlike ambition, but it's aim is enter
prise.
Those who took part in both the Holta-
nau banquet and the admiralty ball at
Kiel give the palm for brilliancy and in
terest to the latter of those functions.
Although 5000 persons were invited and
scarcely any of them failed to attend
there was no confusion, although there
was a tremendous crush. At 10 o'clock
the emperor, with the four eldest of the
young princes, made his appearance and
a few minutes later the empress, robed
in satin of heliotrope coler and ablaze
with diamonds, entered the ball room.
Her majesty seemed much fatigued, and
after walking in the imperial procession
around the main hall stood near the
kaiser, around whom circled the princes
and the ladies of the court Later the
emperor made tour of the rooms chat
ting with one and another spending con-
siderable time In conversation with Ad-
miral Kirkland and Lord Walter Kerr,
admiral commanding the British squad
ron, and subsequently exchanging few
words with the italian and Austrian adj
mirals In the meantime Admiral Me-
nard of the French squadron, NJ Her
bette, French ambassador to Germany,
and the Russian admiral, SlSrydlov,
formed q group, which the kings of Sax
ony and Wurtemburg joined
The empress asked to see Admiral
Menard and the French admiral was
escorted to her side. Her majesty and
the admiral chatted together for few

THE CABINET IN COUNCIL
Decides Not to Resign--Will Again Go b.

Decides Not to Resign--Will Again Go Be-
forethe House.
London. June pa special cabinet
council called for today to consider the
ministerial situation met at II o'clock
this morning with all the ministers in
attendance. Lord Rosebery presided.
Immediately after the council had as
sembled T. e. Ellis. first liberal whip
was summoned to the council chamber
Prospect of the immediate dissolution of
parliament attracted large crowds to the
vicinity of Downing street, but little ex-
citement was manifested.
The council concluded it's deliberations
and adjourned at 1:35 o'clock p. M. with
the result that Sir William Harcotrt
chancellor of the exchequer, will make a
statement in the house of commons Mon
day next. During the session of the house
that day Ellis. the liberal whip will
state that the government is pledged to
pass the Irish land bill before dissolu-
tton of parliament. The belief gains
ground that the ministry will not re-
sign.
The cabinet met again at o'clock this
afternoon. Urgent whips have been is
sued by conservatives and unioists sum-
nloning the members of those parties to
be present at the sitting of the house of
commons Monday.
Postmaster General Arnold Morley and
the secretary state for war were sum
moned to confer with Lord Rosebery af-
ter the adjournment of the cabinet conn
ell today. This started a rumor that the
ministers will finally decide to resign and
cast upon the opposition the responsible
ity of government and make them select
the time for dissolution of parliament.
Another report has it that the govern
ment may determin to carry non-conten-
tious measures and appeal to the country
later Either course would probably
prevent the Irish land bill and other inn
portant measures from passing the re-
manning stages. 1t is asserted that the
Irish members are largely responsible
for the present situation. The basis for
this assertion is that their action in COM
pelling the chancellor of the exchequer,
sir William Vernon Harcourt to rescind
the vote for the erection of statue to
oliver Cromwell seriously undermined
fhe government
