THE KAISER TO SAIL HIS YACHT IN RACES

It viii not be easy 10 find adequate accommodation In
Che palace. without making special arrangements which
win give great deal of trouble and cause immense In
convenience. The announcement that the German
Emperor Is to visit the manufacturing districts and
some OF the great towns OF the North during his stay
in England is incorrect. Windsor London Portsmouth,
a fortnlghts cruise in his yacht, and Cowes are the
arrangements in His Majesty's programme, to which
there will certainly be addition. The Emperor VIII

THE GERMAN EMPEROR AND THE DUTCH
The Dutch, j read I'm obsequious print, ars
startled and delighted by the announcement that the
German Empress Is to accompany the Emperor on his
visit TO Amsterdam. They may be startled, but the
fact Is that the feeling which prevails in Holland
about the Imperial visit is wholly unmlxed with de-
light. Emperor william offered himself and the En-
press to the Queen Regent guests, and OF course
his very cool proposal could not well be declined but
tic visit is universally regarded as exceedingly H.
timed coming so soon after the death OF the King, and
peculiarly unwelcome and inconvenient on other &C
counts both public and private.
