LONDON, March l2-EmperOr Fredeucx
III, OF Germany, arrived in Berlin at mid
hight. Reports received from various
places through which he passed on his
ZONE ward journey indicate that he has
Tnod the trip remarkably well, throwing
ridicule upon the cruakcrs who predicted
that he would inevitably suffer a relapse.
The weather has been stormy throughout
he journey.
Representatives Of the London Press vis-
ted Marlborough's house yesterday and
viewed the presents received by the Prince
and Princess of Wales in cOmmemoration
Of the twenty-tifth annivery of their mar
riage. Prominent among the gifts IS a
magnificent toilet mirror. heavily mounted
and embossed with silver, Il present from
Mrs. John w. Mackay. The much lauded
silver medal Of the proposed imperial in
titutr presented TO his Royal Highness by
the London corporation turns out to be not
Le4rly 50 valuable as 1t purported to be.
Its weight, 900 pounds-which was sup
posed to be due to = great extent to the
quantity OF silver it contained, is
discovered to lie chiefly in the
marble foundation upon which it
rests, and as a remarkable production Of art
falls far short of the herslded descriptions
which were given it the other day. The
Princess Alexandria was so delighted with
the diamond and sapphire necklace sent
her by the Car that Immediately after re-
ceiving it she took it to her bedroom and
remained some time admiring it. The neck
lace was not included among the presents
exposed to view. With his proverbial par
simony, the Duke Of Edinburgh sent to his
brother q very ordinary scarf-pin and ring,
which possibly cost him e., and as If TO
emphasize hi, penurious disposition. the
presentation was made yesterday instead of
Saturday, when the other gifts were coming
in.
The press comments on the Princes sill
yer wedding and the presents received by
the royal pair are with one exception of .
character that cannot fail to be highly graf
flying to the future king and his wife. The
exception is leader in, of all papers, the
Times, which mars the unanimity Of the
complimentary articles by referring to the
unfortunate weaknesses of the Prince, which
led him to patronize and fraternizs with
American cattle droyers and prize fighters.
As usual, Americans are most numerous
among the foreign visitors to the Paris
Salon. and as usual some of the best works
will likely find purchasers among the num-
Der of millionaire American tourists who
are constantly on the lookout for works OF
art with which to adorn their homes.
Saturdays meeting. by courtesy called q
fight, between Sullivan and Mitchell mas
been widely and loudly discussed. Hun
dreds of men who were led by his wonder
full physique, grandiose air and boastful
words to lay their money on Sullivan now
look toward him through the small end OF
the telescope, and the fact is as plain as the
sun at MONDAY that he can never hold up
his head in London without the stimula-
tion OF gall in greater quantity than the
ordinary human body can contain. 'Tis .
pity that il should be said, but il is almost
unanimous opinion among all classes that
the American Champion of Champions"
is now relegated to the ranks of ordinary
''pugs," and must henceforth seek engage
ments not on his own terms, but upon the
terms stipulated Of such men as may think
it worth while to fight him.
