BOTH MOBILES AND PEOPLE

Unite in Paying Their Respects to the Ger.
man Emperor in London-Deleeation.
From Many Societies and Isms-The
Princes Magnificent Lawn Party.
LONDON, July 9.-After Emperor Williams
morning ride through Hyde Park he re
ceived Populations from the various Ger
man social and benevolent societies of Lon
don.. The Emperor received these deputa
| tions in d most courteous manner patiently
| listened to their addresses of welcome and
briefly replied to them. Afterward depu
tation from the Anti-Slavery Society called
| upon the Emperor and presented an address
The Emperor said that he had been much
| impressed with the accounts he had re-
| cefved of the desolation caused by the slave
dealers, "given me-" he remarked, ''by Major
Won Wissmann, who told me that there were
districts in South Africa through which he
had passed in which he found that prosper
GUS, densely populated villages had entirely
disappeared when he returned two years
later, the slave hunters not having left a
man alive there I am glad that it fell to
the united fleets Of Germany and England,
acting in concert, to be already successful
In checking the export of slaves. At the
same time, 1 fear that in the interior it is
probable that the slave trade will not be
suppressed without further severe struggles
with the slavers."
Afterward the Fishmongers' Company and
the Diplomatic Corps were received.
The Emperor in Rotten Row.
During the afternoon the Emperor made
his second appearance in Rotten Row. This
time he was dressed in the uniform of a
Prussfan General. The Emperor was
mounted upon one of his own horses,
brought from Germany with number of
others, and was attended by an aide-de-
camp. Crowds of fashionable people were
present, and from them the Emperor re-
ceived general salutations
Later in the afternoon the Prince and
fr1ncess of Wales gave garden party at
Marlborough House, their London residence,
in honor of the Emperor and Empress of
Germany. The weather was delightful.
1he sun smiled upon the scene Just warmly
enough to make everybody feel comfortable
in the extreme. The result WAS that the
carefully tended and artistically trimmed
gardens of Marlborough House were, for the
occasion, transformed into u brilliant, taste
ful encampment of fashion, the smooth, soft
lawns being dotted here and there with
pretty tents and handsome marques, while
wandering chatting laughing in the pleas
ant hooks, in shady arbors and among brill
1ant hover beds and splashing foun tains,
were those fortunate individuals who COM
pose the creme de la creme of British and
German aristocracy. Rarely, if ever, have
those beautiful gardens been crowded with
such an assemblage of German uniforms as
were gathered to-day, mingling pleasantly
with uniforms representing every branch of
the British service, to say nothing of the
gorgeous dress of the foreign diplomats.
A Unique and Splendid Spectacle.
The Band of the British Grenadier Guards
and that of the Prussian Loyal Dragons,
sent to England for the purpose, played the
finest selections from the eminent German
composers, principally Wagnerian pieces,
however. The Emperor and Empress of
Germany arrived at Marlborough House at
about O'Clock and Queen Victoria entered
the grounds shortly afterward.
A strong force of police kept the general
public from crowding too freely about the
immediate neighborhood of st. James
palace, opposite Marlborough House, about
Marlborough House itself and principally
about the Mall. But this did not prevent
ten of thousands of people from crowding
about these palaces, nor did 1t drive them
away from st. James park, where the curl
Gus gathered as early as noon in the hope of
seeing the great people drive from Bucking-
ham palace down the Mall to MARLBOROUGH
House.
In addition to many representatives of the
nobility there were present the whole of the
diplomatic corps, very many distinguished
army and navy officers Cabinet Ministers
and others. As a whole, the dazzling COS
tunes, sunshine, flowers, tented lawns foun-
tains grand music, splendid uniforms, de-
corations, flashing diamonds and bright
faces formed as pretty mixture Of pleas
ant coloring and enjoyment as one would
