The cortege was magnificent. Emperor and King in

NOTABLE FACT.
The notable fact of the Emperor's encourage is
that not responsible minister of the Prussan cab
net accompanies him. that represents the policy
of Prussia The visit is therefore simple return card
for the Kings visit to Berlin.
The Germans had a special balcony to themselves,
and fair young maiden presented, as he passed,
