MISCELLANEOUS ADJUSTMENTS.
Though the programme OF festivities seemed To
absorb almost every hour Of the short stay OF the
Emperors, they still, now and then, gave an
audience or drove through the park; especially
Emperor Alexander, who twice rode out in two
horse barouche, accompanied only by an adjutant
and huge Newfoundland dog. In spite OF the
vigilance OF the detectives lady in deep mourning,
her face hidden by veil, c0ntrived to press her
way through the throng, and. with a shrek, to
throw herself at the feet of Emperor Alexander,
who, just coming back from the manUuvre, was
entering the Embassy Inter den Linden. she
held up paper which, by order OF the Gar one OF

establishment Of an entente c0ydiaye it could but
amount to an increasing by one the number OF red
tape documents For Heavens sake and for the
benefit Of the people let US have no diplomatic
proclamation. no imperial address or solemn
declaration. Such things do more harm than good.

other Chanceliors Will spare us In these sceptical
times from sentimental proclamation after the
manner OF the Holy Alliance.
