THE sSkDAY OEEGONIAN, PORTLAND, 20"MBE:R 9, lyoz. KAISER MEETS KING .Emperor of Germany Is Now in England, RULERS' GREETING IS INFORMAL Reception to Visitor In "Without Oa tentatlon, by His Reauest His Ar rival the Occasion of an Im posing: Naval Display. LONDON, Nov. 8. The German imperial yacht Hohenzollern, -with Emperor "Will iam on board, accompanied by the escort ing: German cruisers and a flotilla of Brit ish torpedo-boats, reached Port Victoria at 8 o'clock this morning-. The arrival of the German Emperor was made the occasion of an imposing naval display. All the warships at Sheerness were dressed, their crews manned the decks, and the usual salutes -welcomed the imperial visitor. The Emperor -wore the undress uniform of a British Admiral. The German Ambassador, Count Wblff Metternlch, soon joined His Majesty, "who subsequently received the British court officials sent to attend him and the other members of the German Embassy. After breakfast Emperor William land ed, the crew of the Hohenzollern manning the ship and cheering lustily and the "feritlsh warships firing another salute as the Emperor boarded a train for Dover provided by the railroad officials. All trat flc was stopped for half an hour along the route before the Imperial special train was due. Large British and German de tective staffs were on duty, and the junc tions and approaches to the stations were closely watched and cleared of spectators during the passage of the train. It was raining heavily when Emperor William left the train at Dover, whence, mounted on one of his own chargers, he rode to Shorncllff Camp, accompanied by Lord Roberts and a brilliant staff. The meeting of the King and Emperor William at Wolferdon was as Informal as could well be Imagined. -The public, as it had been elsewhere, had been rigidly ex cluded from the station. A few minutes before the arrival of Emperor William's special train, King Edward, accompanied by a single equerry, drove up to the sta tion with a pair and brougham. His Majesty wore a top hat and a frock coat. He stepped upon the platform as the Em peror's train stopped and bared his head as his royal visitor alighted. Their Maj esties shook hands and embraced and nulckly drove off to Sandrlngham. -Lord Basing toasted Emperor William, and -referred to the intense gratification felt by TEtiment at tne emperor s speech on the review ground, and to the munificent present His Majesty had sent during the war for the support of the wives and children of the men serving in South Africa. In reply, the Emperor eald: "Gentlemen Let me again assure you how great a pleasure this day has given me. I am extremely honored and very happy to hear that the sum I devoted to the wives and children of the dragoons who departed for the war has done so much good. I think the best way of marking this day in the history of the regiment is by adding another sum there to, in the hope that it may do an equal amount of good." The Emperor concluded by calling for cheers for the regiment and King Edward, and led the salvo of hur rahs. Emperor William and the officers then repaired to the messroom of the regiment, "whero His Majesty had lunch. Among the house party at Sandrlngham are the Prince of Wales, Premier Balfour, Colonial Secretary Chamberlain and Mrs. Chamberlain, War Secretary Brodflck, Ambassador Lascelles and Sir Frederick Treves, Sergeant-Surgeon to King Ed ward. The Emperor reviewed a detachment of troops at Shorncllff, in company with the King. With this exception, the reception was everywhere lacking in formalities, the Emperor having especially requested that guards of honor and similar attentions "be dispensed with. After the review, the Emperor presented decorations to Lord Basing, the officer in command, and to other officers of the regiment. LIBERALS ARB JUBILANT. By-Elections Taken as a Rebuke to the Governmental Policy. LONDON, Nov. 8. The Liberals are Ju bilant and the Unionists are proportionate ly disgruntled over the results of the by election in the Cleveland and East Tox Jeth divisions. The largo increase in the Liberal major ity in the Cleveland divisions are general ly admitted even by the Conservative or gans to be due to the dissatisfaction with the education bill, which is still wending Its way through the House of Commons. In the East Toxteth division the re duction of the Unionist majority by over 1500 was greatly due to a curious feature omsiasoclated with public political contro versies. Austin Taylor, who just man aged to win the seat, had taken a promi nent part in Liverpool, to which the di vision belongs, against the Ritualists, whose practices caused the crusade which, recently ended .in the tragic death of John Kensit, the anti-ritualistic leader. In fact, Mr. Taylor had gone so far as to support a Liberal in a neighboring con stabulary agalnat a conservative church man. This stirred up the Ritualists of East Toxteth to such an extent that they entered upon a vigorous campaign against Mr. Taylor, and prominent Unionists Is sued an appeal for aid for the Liberal candidate. Premier Balfour and Colonial Secretary Chamberlain Intervened, but were unable to restore harmony. The curious spectacle was then pre sented of a Liberal, backed up by non conformists, dally denouncing the clerical tendencies of the education -bill, yet hav ing the suoport of the fashionable clergy and their congregations. Both by-elections, taken In conjunc tion with other Liberal successes, are in terpreted by the organs of the party they favor as being sure sjgns that the gov ernment will be defeated should a gen eral election be held. This, however, is quite unlikely, and It would take a good many East Toxteths and Clevelands to disturb even appreciably the equanimity of Mr. Balfour of the large majority in the House of Comirions. A rumor is current that War Secre tary Brodrick Is soon to be gracefully re tired with a peerage or some office. There seems but slight ground to believe it Is founded on facts. NOT SEEKING ARBITRATION. France Will Not Refer Newfound land Matter to The HaRue Court. PARIS, Nov. 8. It was learned author itatively today that Foreign .Minister Delcasse is not seeking arbitration of the British-French Newfoundland fisheries question. M. Delcasse recently wrote td Baron D'Estournelles de Constant, the French delegate to The Hague confer ence, that the government was seeking to utilize The Hague tribunal by referring to It a pending diplomatic question, and some of the English papers drew the conclusion that this referred to New foundland. But is was said at the For eign Office that the Newfoundland ques tion Is not considered a proper subject tor 'arbitration at The Hague, as It in volves the issue of French sovereignty.

"We made four trips across the continent, the last one being In 1SG4. V 'e would come west with the emigrants In the Spring and Sum mer, and return to tho East during the "Winter by way of Paijama. There were about 50 men In the company, not counting cooks, blacksmiths and other followers, who swelled the whole fto about 80. " "After the war troops were stationed all along the route, wtio acted as garrisons, guarding the emigrants the same way that we did. only they did not have to move with the wagon trLlns, but remained at a Government post." but the miners generally voted for a continuance of the strike. The meeting lasted throughout the day and was at tended with great disorder. Fifteen thou sand strikers gathered In the vicinity of the meeting place. The discussion among the delegates was violent.

Ran dolph, Chief of Artillery, says the new scheme of organization of the seacoasts In artillery districts, as a rule, has worked well, and it Is believed that much more progress in a, tiilery efficiency has been made under tin.- system than would have been possible uider the old regimental plan. The dc lopmcr.t of the present system of fire ..ontrol has not "been satis factory, owlnj. to unforeseen conditions, but it Is hopl that before the close of this year a n-w system of position-finding will be ut Into practice. General Randolph complains of the insufficient allowance of ammunition for target prac tice. Attention Is Invited to the necessity of Increasing the pay and number of elec trician Serbeants, in view of the impossi bility of caring for the numerous elec trical devices 'at Army posts without skilled men. At least 125 such Sergeants are recommended, with the pay and allow ances of first-class Sergeants of the Sig nal Corps. As another outcome of the maneuvers. General Randolph recom mends five gunner specialists for each company of coast artillery, who shall be allowed Jo extra pay per month. Other wise trained men In the service cannot be retained. General Randolph, in conclusion, de clares that the combined Army and Navy maneuvers will be replete with Interest, and strongly recommends that similar maneuvers take place annually. SOLVING "SLUGGER" CASt POLICE FIND XEGRO WHO PAWXED THE WATCHES. Tlie.y Refuse to State Whether He Implicates Mason, the Promi nent Boston Clubman. BOSTON, Nov. 8. The strange case in volving the murder of two young women, Agnes McPhee and Clara A. Morton, and the murderous assaults upon many others, was a step nearer solution today, for late tonight the police were given the custody of the young man who sold or, as he thought, pawned the watches which were .taken by the so-called "Jack the Slugger" from the bodies of his victims. The per son in custody is a llght-complexloned negro, 18 years old. Hie name Is George L. O. Perry. He has confessed that he se cured the wa,tches which he sold from a man In the Central Square, Cambridge. He has given the name of this man to the police, but the latter tonight refused to state whether he gave the name of Alan OP TOE OVERLAND ESCORT G. Mason, the promlnrnt business man who Is under detentlonlnt the Middlesex County Jail in Cambrldi" on the charge of having murdered Mls.Nr'fcUara A. Morton. While the statement of the boy clears Mason of having been theunan who per sonally pawned the watches, still, thero was nothing In the boy's statement Issued tonight which either disproved or con firmed the theory that Mason was the one who gave him the watches to pawn. Tho police were very reticent as to what fur ther statements were made by Perry, but there were rumora tonight that" he had said that the man was a white man. The detention of Perry came through the Boston Children's Aid Society, and Imme diately through Its officials. Charles Bert well and Samuel Lawrence. These men were led to believe that the handwriting of a young negro whom they knew through the work of the society wag similar to that contained on thee records filled out by the man with the stolen watches. The state police were called In. The young man, who proved to bo Perry, was found, and later ho admitted taking one of the watches from a man in Cambridge over a month ago, just after the murder ot Miss McPhee, and the second last Sunday, the day-following that on which Mlsa Morton waa murdered In Wavcrly. At- first the -young man denied he had ever sold a watch, but later made a statement, which was taken down by a stenographer. The boy was then turned over to Chief Wade, of the state police, and late tonight officers removed him to Cambridge. The boy In his statement says that he met the man, whose name Is not disclosed. In Central Square, Cambridge, about four weeks ago. After some conversation they began to talk about watches, and the man gave the boy a small watch. Perry pawned It with Nemser. and. meeting the man again. gave him 75 cents of the proceeda Last Sunday Perry met him again, as he says, accidentally, and again the man showed a watch. Perry says the man seemed anx ious to get rid of It, so he took It and pawned It with Nemser, getting $4. He says he has not seen the man since. The boy is evidently a most valuable witness, and the pqjlce are using every endeavor to shield him from outside parties. The detention of Perry was the main feature of the day, although during the forenoon a Somervllle car conductor stated that Mason was on his car last Saturday night about 10 o'clock, or shortly after the time Miss Morton was murdered. j Mason will have a hearing in the Cam- nriage jjismci uoun on j.uesuay.

AMERICA SETTLES CASE. Consular Agent Is Relieved From Paying a Forced Loan. WASHINGTON, Nov. 8. The trip of the gunboat Marietta to Barcelona resulted In a satisfactory settlement of the case of Vice-United States Consul Baize at that place.

The Great Northern Company has, added ?500, so that there is now a prize of $1000 for the man or men who are successful In their search. It is now almost a week since Mr. Eagan and his friends went Into the mountains near Kalispell to spend a few days In hunting. The hunters took a sep arate course, expecting to come together at camp In the evening. Mr. Eagan failed to join the others, and, after waiting a time, scaroh was made for him. He was not found, and news of his disappearance was then spread among his friends at Kalispell and at home. Search then was commenced In earnest. As many men as could be spared from the road were sent Into the mountains to explore every canon and gorge where It was thought the missing hunter may have strayed. An engine was sent to patrol the railroad tracks among the mountains, where the hunting party had camped, and the en gineer was instructed to blow the whistle at frequent intervals, so that the lost man could get his bearings. If he were still alive. The irfen who scouted the moun tains did everything possible to make their presence known. They shouted, tired guns, built fires on exposed places, but so far everything has been without result. While the search for Mr. Eagan will be continued until he Is found, or there is no possible chance of finding him, his friends here have lost hope that the search will result successfully. Storms have pre vailed in the mountains almost every day since Mr. Eagan's disappearance, and a severe snow storm raged all day today. The snow is now about three feet deep, making travelling difficult and dangerous, and covering all tracks. If Mr. Eagan has perished, the deep snow will prevent his body from being found until the snow melts late In the Spring. Cold Wave Predicted.
