speeial to THE MORNING CALI


Buckingham Palace After this review the
German ruler enjoyed light breakfast and
then visited the naval exhibition. Leaving
the exhibition the Emperor returned to
Buckingham Palace and retired to his pri-
yate apartments in order to transact public
business connected with the German En-
pire.
the inhabitants of London and vicinity
turned out in force to witness the progress
in state of Emperor William from Bucking-
ham Palace to GuildhaIl and back to the
palace, after psrtaking of the hospitality of
the Lord Mayor. The streets through which
the procession passed were lined with i'm
mense crowds of people and large force of
police and soldiers kept them clear.
THE PROCESSION STARTED.
Precisely at noon the royal state carriage
left Buckingham Palace for Guildhall. As
the procession left The palace, from all over
the city peals of bells rang out and an
nounced that the imperial pageant lad CON-
menced. The decorations were superb,
every inch of the way from the Strand to
Guildhall abounding in color. The En-
peror's flags were 10 be seen everywhere,
and conspicuous among them were hundreds
of American flags, along with the bunt ne
OF every nation.
The appearance of Emperor William was
the sign for tremendous cheering.
PRINCE OF WALES EooTED AT.
The reception of the Prince of Wales was
of mixed character, though on the whole
1t was not favorable. On tie way to the
Thames embankment at Ludgate Circus,
where the roGgner element of the city was
packed in all the numerous thoroughfares
branching into that much freauented CENTER
there were some exciting incidents. This
rowdy element had been getting up steam on
stimulants for hours and had worked itself
into frame of mind well adapted to giving
the Prince of Wales or anybody else warm
reception. While waiting for the heir ap-
parent there were a number Of lively scrim-
images between the hoodlums and the police
In which the latter generally managed to
come out ahead, and which ended in one or
more of the rufians being relegated to the
rear and thence escorted to the nearest
police station. All this had been the tuning
up of the mob, as it we're, SO when the
Prince of Wales carriage appeared it was
in condition to do unpleasant things
PASSED TIE DANGEROUS PLACE.
The authority received an intimation that
the roughs were preparing to give him
distinctly hostile reception. In any case.
when the carriage containing the Prince and
Princess of Wales passed through Ludgate
Circus it was driven at a decidedly rapid
pace, so much so that the carriage had
passed The dangerous spot before the main
body of the c-oWd was aware that the
Prince was in tn, T midst As it was, how
ever, in spite of the presence of the Prin-
cess of Wales sitting beside him, the Prince
was greeted with frequent outbursts of jeer-
ing and 'b0oings' which were only slightly
set off by few faint cheers. In the face of
this hostile demonstration, the Prince, ap-
parently unmoyed, looked straight to the
front, passed the excited crowd and made
no attempt TO reply by salute TO the weak
cheering which broke out in opposition to
"bOOings" and jeers. The reception ac-
corded to the Prince of Wales was in strong
contrast to the hearty ringing cheers with
which the Duke of Connaught, his brother,
was greeted by the Ludgate Circus crowd
as the Duke passed over the same ground.
RECEPTION AT GUILDHALL.
The imperial party reached Guild Hall at
] % o'clock. The Lord Mayor received the
guests at the entrance, and the procession
was formed and moved to the library. Here

pressing thanks for the welcome extended

lay in his power, maintain the historical
friendship existing between England and
Germany. Continuing, lie said: My aim
is, above all, the maintenance of peace, for
peace alone can give that confidence neces-
saTy 10 healthy development of science,
art and trade. Only SO long as peace re-
mains are we at liberty to bestow earnest
thoughts upon the great problems the
solution OF which, IN fairness and equity, /
consider the most prominent duty of our
time. shall always be found ready to
unite with you, and with other nations, in
the common labor for peaceful progress,
friendly Intercourse and the advancement
OF civilization"
THE LORD MAYORS BANQUET.
A collation. in Guildhall followed the
proceedings in the library. The Emperor
led the way into the banquet hall, having
upon his arm the Lady Mayoress, Lady
Savery, followed by the Lord Mayor and
the Empress, the Prince and Princess of
Wales, and the other members of the royal
family. After the refreshments formal
speeches Of welcome were exchanged. The
Emperor sat on the right of the Lord
Mayor and the Empress sat on his left. At
2:3O O'Clock the imperial party returned to
buckingham Palace by way of the Thames
embankment
The morning scenes were repeated on the
route. On the way to the Thames embank-
ment at Ludgate Circus, where the rougher
element Of the city was packed, there were
some exciting incidents. The rOwdies had
been drinking freely, and when the Prince
OF Wales was driven rapidly by. he was
greeted again with repeated jeers and
.'booings." The Americans at the win
dows Of the hotels along the embankment
had a splendid view of the procession.
There were, OF course, many arrests to-
day, but the German societies and the
French anarchistic element were apparently
absent, OF had been subdued into passive
submission by the warning of the police
that an outbreak would be severely dealt
with.
The state ball opened with grand qua
drilie in which only tho royal personages
took part. The Princess OF Wales wore a
goid-eolored gown trimmed with gold fringe,
with lace train, and draped with gold
spangled tuiie. On her head she had a tiara
Oh diamonds; ornaments, pearls and dia-
monds. Black gowns resplendent with dja-
monds were much worn, while the younger
ladies favored white or pale blue
The anarchists Of this city have spread
broadcast leatiet attacking the German
Emperor ana all of the royalties who have
taken part in the festivities given In honor
of the visitors.
