perors and their Empires together win have been
made stronger-so we are tod-and the era OF
eternal peace, which the visit OF all these
crowned heads to Vienna was to inaugurate,
will be fully ushered In. Thenceforth there is
TO be neither war nor rumors OF wars in Europe,
and the big ROtunda on the Prater is to stand as
grand monument OF the established brotherhood OF
European natons-of this hand-shaking OF kaisers
and kings and shahs the embracing OF the peoples
of the Occident and the Orient, about which Wen

wrote Of the Coliseum at Rome
While the Rotunda stands this peace shall reign.
And when 1t falls this peace will cease!
Unfortunately, the architects consider the Ro-
tunda o rather shaky edifce, too heavy for the
supports 1t has, and they assure us that 1t cannot
last many years. Nor can we, judging from the
experience of the past promise ourselves that this
compact Of friendship between the princes Of
Europe win last much longer than this Rotunda
on the Prater.

for some historian OF civilization. sitting on tho

structure to last SO long-to give us history Of
the friendships said to have been sealed among
the European rulers this year, to show us how
many still exist and how many have been broken.
ROYAL VISITORS AT VIENNA.
After all Francis Joseph can be congratulated on
the great number OF imperial, royal and princely
beings who have visited his court and his capital
this year. cannot hope to recaptulate them all.
They have appeared OF late weeks in such numbers
among us that the Viennese hardly look round at
anything less than shah or an emperor or pretty
princess. The other day asked the superintendent

KAISER WILLIAMS RECEPTION
by Francis Joseph and the Vennese was, as l said,
very cordlal but his Chancellor, Prince Bismarck,
came in for greater share OF attention than his
Emperor. The Austrian Emperor travelled about
an hours distance on the rails to ST. Polten in
order to greet his imperial guest. There was the
usual military guard OF honor, music bisnop and
o mass OF people, and When the two Emperors met
they shook hands, looked into each others eyes
three times, and then took dinner, the Emperor
William sitting to the right and Prince Bismarck to
the left OF Francis Joseph Shortly before four the
imperial train arrived at the little suburban depot
Penzing, quarter hours drive from the Palace OF
Schoenbrunn, where the boy Crown Prince Rudolph
OF Austria and all the Archdukes OF this Court and
many thousands OF people had assembled The
drive to Schoenbrunn was through q lane ofpeople,
extending rom the station up to the palace gates,
over mile in length. The two KaiserS sat side by
side, the guest on the right, but looking very
curious in their changed costumes. Kaiser William

The present visit is the third which the Emperor

They argue that the Austrians have now no Ill feel

Fre,e Iresse says :--"William !. Is welcome In Aus
tria and in Vienna. We greet HIM as the chief of
the German nation, through him the German peo-
pie, in him an ally and iriend." For, as saith an
other journal, memories OF past feuds are buried.
