Emperor William Welcomed With Enthusl- astic Cheers at Munich, ‘Musica, Sept. 8.—The Emperor of Germany, upon his arrival here last night from the scene of the Austrian army maneuvers, was received with the utmost enthusiasm and respect. As the imperial train approached this city tens of thousands of voices greeted it with cheers, Emperor William. apparently satistied with the warmth of his reception, quickly alighted from the train as it drow up alongside the earpeted platform and warmly embraced and kissed Prince Luitpold, the regent of Bavaria, who, accompanied ‘by a numerous suite, including the minis! state, was in waiting to receive th traveler. The emperor then ini guard of honor, which had char, road station, and expressed himself as being highly pleased with the smart and soldierly Dearing of the troops. WELCOMED TO XUXICH. As the emperor was upon the point of leay- ing the station he was met by the burgomaster | of Munich and other municipal officers. The bargomaster, after a short gpeech of welcome, presented him with an illuminated address ex- pressing the satisfaction of the citizens of | Munich at the visit of the ruler of Germany to | the Bavarian capital. ‘ ‘The emperor, in thanking the municipal au- | thorities Jor their welcoming address, said that Le desired te nesare them that Le would leave ich with pleasant memories of his sojourn mong the citizens.

In informing you of my intention to accept the eame Idesire to express my high «ppre- ciation of the great honor me by the tender of this, the most important appointment which the chief execu- tive of a state can be enlled upon tom: It is also gratifying to be assured by you that be- sides tho sanction of your judgment you believe this selection meets the wishes of « large mi jority of the people of Vermont. The couti- vience which they have heretofore shown in me lias encoureged me in every position in the public” service to which I have been ‘called. Without their confidence should not care to be even a Senator from Vermont in the Senate of the United States, a position which bas been unique by reason of the ability and influence of the Representatives of our state in that body.

Probable Lffect of the Trades Union Con- aress ut Newcastle, Lowpox, Sept. 8.--The trades union congress at Newcastle, which opeucd yesterday, prom- ises to have an import nfinence on the future course of English polities. The large number of Inbor candidates for purlisment whe are in training for the next general elce- tion has already caused cerious auxiety to the liberal leaders, who do not favor thie ‘sort of representation and think that the workingmen oaght to be suticfied to accept reforms at the hands of the liberal party. Mr. Gladstone humsclf is said to feel his way and while he does not oppose he gives no_ active personal encouragement to labor candidates. Among the trades unions there 1s a strong feeling that workiugmen should be directly represented in ent in order to secure desired changes in the laws, and that the liberals ought to be willing to receive the labor representatives with open arms. ‘This subject will be fully dis- cussed in the congress. RUSSIAN NAVAL MANEUVERS. A St. Petersburg dispatch says that the Russian naval mancuvers will be unusually interesting this ‘The plan of operations is based on the assumption of a blockade of the Gulf of Finland by an enemy's squadron. it is supposed that « hostile fleet hes already made itself master of the Baltic and is engaged in the double task of blockading the Gulf of Finland from Cronstadt and damaging the commerce of the neighboring posis by capturing the coasting vessels. ‘The Russian fleet, conso- quently, finds itself compelled to defend the chief Finnish posts, and is directed with a view to that object. ‘The Russian ships will be dis- tributed among the islands of the Finnish archipelago. ACTIVITY IN RUSSIAN CAMPS. A dispatch from Odessa tells of a great amount of activity displayed in the different military camps in south Russia during the eum- mer just passed. Every battalion for more than eighty or one hundred days has been en- gaged in tactical exercises, and during the last month work hus been carried on as if on the battleticid. ‘The maneuvers have shown, how- ever, some weak points in the Russian armor, as, for instance, the fact that the enemy could land in foree just outside of Odessa and attack the city without having encountered the foe. —_ WHEELMEN AT HARTFORD.

Hartroup, Coxx., Sept. 8.—All conditions today are favorable for good and speedy work at the tournament of the Hartford Wheel Club at Charter Oak Park, which was postponed from Monday. This morning there was a large parade of bicyclists. About 450 were in line, including about fifty lady riders. ‘The procession left the capitol shortly after o'clock and after passing through some of the principal streets proceeded to Wethers- field, four miles south of the city, where the riders wero entertained at the house of E.

To an Examiner reporter Mr. Jacobs said: “There is strong talk in Mexican political circles that President Diaz will recall Senor Romero, the Mexican minister at Wash- ington, and that Romero will be appointed minister of finance to succeed Manuel Dublan, who recently died.” Mr. Jacobs further stated that shortly after Minister Dublan's death a deficiency of €100,000 was discovered in his accounts and that Presi- dent Diaz brought suit against his estate to re- cover the money.
