THE KAISER.

VISIT TO BRUSSELS. By Electric Telegraph.—Copyright. LONDON, Oct. 20. Tho Times’ Brussels corresiiondont states that the Kaiser’s visit, which was a courtesy vitit in return for King Albert’s visit to Potsdam, was marked by an absence tf enthusiasm among tho population. A German colony of 1.500 opposite the Palace welcomed tho visitors warmly. Cordial toasts at the banquet emphasised tho industrial energy of the Belgians, but the latter complained they could not compete with German dumping, which is increasing. The new fortification scheme in Holland is regarded in many quarters ns promoting Gorman rather than Dutch interests. King Albert eulogised the Kaiser’s noble efforts for peace. Tho Kaiser reciprocated the desiro for closer relations, and discreetly alluded to Germany’s friendly attitude on tho Congo question.
