Emperor william Celebrates His Twenty-Fifth Anniversary as King or Prussia.
 BERLIN, Jan. s.-This day has been al-
 most wholly devoted to the celebration of the twenty-fifth anniversary of Konig Wilhelm's accession to the throne of Prussia. The real date of the silver jubilee fig January g, for it was upon January 9, 1861, that the present King of Prussia succeeded his brother, King Frederick William ". But the King refused to allow public eslebra- tien of an anniversary which also tneInorizsd his brothers death and the festivities were postponed until to-day. Special services were held in the churches and all the places of public resort in and around Berlin were crowded with enthusiastic people whose first toast was invariabiyi "deed health and long life to the kenig and Kaiser"
 The Emperor spent the day AS quietly as possible in his palace in Unter den Lindens, ton from the German princes eollest- ivsly and had discouraged personal audiences or presentations, Many gifts sent to him had been returned to the ssnders at the expense of the King and with the | many officials whose rank and station enti- tied them to call upon the King at anytime and they were all in attendance. Among them were most of the ambassadors and min isters of the foreign powers, including Uni ted States Minister Pendleton, whose recent appointment required him to take an inferior place in the procession. The Kaiser was dressed in the uniform of Prussian field marshal and he wore most of his decorations, except those that he had received as the Emperor of Germany. He remained seated during most of the ceremo ny, but he arose to respond to the cengratu- lations of the diplomatic corps. He made a pleasant and graceful speech, but he avoided all political allusions beyond expressing his profound satisfaction at the friendly rela- tions existing between Germany and the other nations of the world.
 The Emperor was especially earnest in his manner when welcoming Prince Bismarck, Count von Moltke and General Lord Wolse- ley. During his reception of the chancellor, the venerable commander of the ar mics of the empire and Englands fore most general the Emperor remained stand ing by the throne, upon which sat the Elm press Augusta. There was a profuse and gorgeous display of bunting and flags throughout tine city during the day and in the evening thousands of buildings were illu- minated
 The Emperor with the entire imperial fam fly, General Wolseley and many of the for eign representatives attended the opera this evening. The streets were crowded and the imperial party experienced great difficulty in reaching the opera house. Their entrance was the sign for thunders of applause, which the Emperor acknowledged by lowing after he reached the imperial box. In the royal chapel Dr. Kolgel preached a sermon appropriate to the day and the occasion of the celebration and Dr. Schroeder prayed for the Emperor, the i'm perial family and royalty generally. The Emperor is in excellent health and as he left the opera showed no signs of fatigue, al though the day has been necessarily one of great excitement to him. The weather through the day and evening was raw and drizzling rain marred the effect of the out door decorations.
 BERLIN, Jan- 4.-This mornings papers contain column upon column of editorial eulogistic of the Emperor and descriptive of yesterdays celebration.
