municipal authorities and number of civilians
were on the platform. Large crowds surround
ed the station. and the Emperor raised his hat
IN response to their salutations when he reached
the platform. His appearance is very little
changed. He looks WE'LL with the exception of
his complexion, which is somewhat yellow. He
shook hands with the German consul the syn
die of San Reno and others As the train left
the station the Emperor was heartily cneered.
King Hnmbert OF Italy travelled from Rome to
San Pie d'Arena, two miles west of Genoa,
where he met Emperor Frederick this morning
King Humbert entered the train and embraced
the new Emperor earnestly. The scene was ex-
tremely touching, and excited the emotions of
all who Witnessed it. The Emperor was unable
to speak, but a great many notes, which
we're handed TO the King, one OF them thanking
the Italian Parliament for It's expression of
sympathy and friendship. Empress Victoria

During the interview with King Humbert the
Emperor exhibited unusual animation. Several
times he tried to speak out, but failed. but he
kept up a conversation by means Of small slips
OF paper, upon which he wrote with pencil
On one of these, which escaped destruction,
the Emperor says he hopes to show himself
equal TO the work before him, and thanks the
italian government for helping Prince Bismarck
in his present trials. Since parting with him
King Humbert has wired TO Berlin that the EN-
peror looks surprisingly well.
The Regent Of Bavaria has received this mes
rage from Emperor Frederick: In the moment
Of my deepest sorrow trust to your friendship
to assist me and relieve the heavy cares now de-
volving upon me-" To this Prince Luitpold re-
sponded: II am deeply moved by your touching
telegram. hasten to express my heartfelt
sympathy, with an assurance of the continuance
of our faithful friendship"
The accession of Frederick William to the
imperial throne tends to strengthen the hopes
that peace will be maintained.
BERLIN, March 10.-The grayest fears are en-
tertained in Berlin for the safety of the new
Emperor in making his journey from San Reno

than in any other.
The proposed induction of Doctors Mackenzie
and Howell into the Castle of Charlottenburg, in |
order that they may be in constant attendance
upon the Emperor, has grossly offended the peo-
pie OF Berlin. where the feeling against the EN-

at all, removed from hatred. Indeed, it may
