of Orange, heir of the throne of Neither
lands, and many German royal and princely
peIsonages have. arrived to witness the
marriage. A unique feature of the festiv-
tiles which have been devised on a grand
scale will be traditional dance by torch
light OF twelve ministers of the emperor s
cabinet. The trosseau in both cases is
entirely of German make. Bismarck will
take part 10 the wedding festivities and
walk at the head of the ministers in the
