able progress made in Germanizing
the provinces during the past
decade. The journey from Strasburg to
Metz was triumphal progress All the
intermediate stations were gayly decorated
and crowded with people, who cheered the
emperor, whose tact under the difficult CIR
cumstances was remarkable He made
brief replies to various toasts, ETC., but said
not word at which the French could be
offended.
THE PASSPORT SYSTEM.
The only incident that possibly can cause
anxiety arose from the passport question.
The president Of the Strasburg Chamber Of
Commerce, on being presented to Emperor
present rigorous regulations The emperor
briefly expressed regret at his inability to
do anything in this direction.
By order of Prince Won Hohenlohe, an
imperial decree was published in Strasburg
to night expressing the thanks of their
majesties for the brilliant receptions ac-
corded them, which the decree says
strengthen the conviction that these origi-
nally German territories, inhabited as they
are by an honest and intelligent population,
will become still more closely attached to
the fatherland.

of himself to Prince Won Hohenlohe.
wEsTPHALIA's LOYALTY.
At a gala dinner In Munster castle to-
night the emperor, replying to a toast to
his health, dwelt upon TIE energy and en-
durance f the Westphalians, whose princi-
pies he said he imbibed in his youth his tutor
having been a Westphalian. Westphalia
i, has always shown itself loyal to the Prus-
| sian House He hoped tlat the Westpha-
| lian sword, which had always kept its edge,
would in the future as in the past give
evidence of its keennesS if it should again
be necessary to unsheath it in the defense
of the newly united fatherland. He drank,
prosperity to Westphalia."
ANGLo-GERMAN RELATIONS.
An inspired article in the Cologne Gazette
on the results of Emperor Williams visit to
Osborne says the relations between Eng
land and Germany, out of which much mat
ter for superflous disharmony has been elm
mated, is beginning to be much more
friendly owing, however, to the opposition
of the radicals in parliament. The English
government is compelled to proceed eau
tiously toward rapprochement with Ger
many.
