BERLIN, September 14.-The hearty re-
ccption given to Emperor William at
Hanover has been agratityingsurprisc as
showing the extinction of the anti-Prus-
sian party with the popular growth of
popular German national sentiment. The
progress of the Imperial party through
the dcnscly crowded and richly decorated
streets, continuous ovatiOnS and rolling
bursts of aCclaims must have struck a
chill to the hearts of the old adhcrcnts of
| the Guelph monarch who heard them.
Equal enthusiasm was displayed when
the Emperor drove from the SchIoSs to
welcome thee Czarewitch. The spontaneous
character of the demonstration could not
be doubted 1t was the Empcrnr's first
visit to the capital of the conquered king
dom, and he and his encourage expected
a lukewarm reception. His plcasurcOver
the welcome found expression in the
words that he addressed to Herr Ben
nigscn Ober, president of the province
He found himself among his own people
in Hanover, he said. His meeting with
the CzarcwitCh was vested with unwOnt-
ed cclat, the hOnOrS being the same as
would have been accorded the Car
Around the Emperor wcrePrinCc AlbrcCht,
| the grand dukes of lIcsSc and Oldcnburg,
Prince Charles, of Sweden, several Ger
man princes, kings and court officials.
The Czarewitch cordially responded to
the Empcror's greeting. They drove
through the ranks OF veterans and mem
berS of the city guilds to the SchloSS.
Yesterdays review was brilliant
spectacle. The CzarcwitCh rode on the
lImpcrOr's right, Count Won WaldcrSc
led the IIanovcrian Uhlans and Prince
George the Sixtccth Ihlans, and Prince
Nbrecht was at the head of the Bruns-
wlckcrs. The Emperor rode along the
line of seven Thousand men andcXprcsSed
complete satisfaction with the bearing OF
the troops. Returning to the SchloSS
the Imperial party visited the guild OF
brewers. The Emperor drank glass OF
beer and the Empress was presented
with hoQuct. The fact that the Care
witch was received. in a style usually
reserved for the crowned heads iScXciting
universal attention. The programme Of
his reception at kicl and Hanover was
dictated by Prince Bismarck who was
actuatcd by his knowledge that the
Czarewitch is sdiSpoScd torcncw amicablc
relations with Germany. His influence
may assist the chanccllor's final effort to
modify the Cars hostility. According
to present arrangements on his visit
to PotSdam the Czar is determined to
avoid all reference to the political
situation. Neither GicrS or any other
minister of his political cabinet will ac
company him. His suite will bccompoScd
solely of military officers. Prince Bis
marck is credited with aiming to obtain
an interview similar to the historic con
ference of November, 1887. The Gar in
asserting to the programme of the visit
has ignored the existence of the Chanccl-
lor. A court report has it that he prefers
not to meet him. Whatever influence the
Czarewitch has with his father will tend
in favor of according an interview with
Prince Bismarck The Emperor
will go to WiSmar on Tuesday
to attend the mancuvcrs of the Ninth
corps. He will return to Hanover on
September 80, where he will command in
a battle between the Tenth and Seventh
corps, at which smokelcSs powder will
be used. He is enjoying splendid health
despite incessant fatigue. His speeches
at military banquCts given at Dresden
and Alinden smacked strongly of war.
