day appearance. The procession, In point Of

The Baltimore Sun OF Tuesday says:
The demonstration In honor of the German
peace Jubilee yesterday was one OF the largest
and most interesting ever witnessed IN this
city. The procession, Its numbers and varie-
ty, Its military and civic features, Its vast forest
of banners, md elaborateness OF display and
paraphernalia, 0ttested the profound earnest
ness and devotion with which 1t was gotten
up. One OF the most striking and suggestive
features of the grand demonstration was the
multitude OF industrial societies, giving vast
and impressive evidence OF the extent and va
riety OF German industries here. A bone. and
sinew army OF the productive class was mar
shalled yesterday 10 our American cities pro-
badly greater in the aggregate than the de.
structiVe army which lately laid siege to Paris.
OF the celebration In Washington, q letter
says
The demo nstratlon in celebration of the re-
turn OF peace between Germany and France,
was imposing in all its features. The process,
sion ofthe different German organizations in
the line OF march passed the residence of
Baron Gerolt, which was tastefully ornament
ed in front with a fine flag Of the North Ger
man Confederation, surmounted by shields
and banners of various designs. The
doorway was festoorcd with laurel wreaths,
streamers and flowers. While the pro-
cession was passing, the Baron came
out and stood in the doorway uncovered,
and bowed, while those In the procession gave
him cheers In passing. The residences OF all
the Germans on the line OF march were deco
rated with flags and evergreens. The trlum.
phal car contained eighteen young ladies, oil
dressed in white, wearing laurel Wreaths, rep
resenting the different German States. A
canopy was erected over this car with red,
white and blue colors. The procession passed
the Executive Mansion, but the President was
absent.
