Waterloo was filed with crowds, who
cheered enthusiastically as the carriages
swept past During short halt at Water
loo, the emperor, responding to incessant
volleys of cheers, stepped out upon the
platform of the carriage and repeatedly sa-
luted- Similar scenes were witnessed all
along the line TO Windsor. The station
there was beautifully decorated. The
Grenadier guards formed guard of honor.
Upon the arrival of the train the emperor
was greeted by Princesses Beatrice and
Christian, the Princesses Victoria and
Maud, Prince Christian, the duke of Cam
bridge and Prince Henry OF Battenburg
After all round hand shaking and kiss
ing, the procession. which consisted Of
twelve carriages, Was formed. The first
was occupied by the emperor, the prince
of Wales. the duke of Edinburg and the
duke of Conuaught. In the second were
the empress, the princess of Wales and
princesses Beatrice and Christian. In the
others were the members of the royal
family and their suites. The route of the
procession was lined with infantry and
cavalry, which kept in check the serted
mass of spectators. Everywhere there
was a lavish display of decorations. To
the unceasing ovation accompanying their
program, the emperor and empress replied
clerk read an address Of welcome. The
mayor then made a short but effusive
speech, TO which the emperor made a
laconic reply.
The procession then started toward the
quadrangle OF the castle Here the
knights OF st. George were grouped
around the statue OF Charles III. Life
guardsmen aud yeomen of the guard lined
the quadrangle. while scarlet uniformed
soldiers filled the approaches and ramparts
OF the tower. The lord amberlain, ac-
compauied by the naval and military Of
fcers awaited the arrival OF she imperial
visitors at the entrance of the main hall Of
the state apartments. Amid rolling vol
leys of cheers, salyos of artillery and the
playing of bands, the procession entered
the castle grounds. On alighting the EN-
peror entered the hall preceded by the ord
chamberlain. The queen met him at the
threshold, and afectiOnately embraced
him. All the royalties followed the EN-
peror and the door was closed. Some min
utes afterwards the emperor reappeared
IN the quadrangle, accompanied by the
prince of Wales, the duke of Edinburg and
the duke of Cambridge, and proceeded TO
inspect the troops He then retired TO his
apartments. After a long rest the en-
peror and empress dined with the queen.
The other royalties were present, but IL
was purely family dinner.
Later the emperor held semi-official re-
ception.
THE OBJECT OF THE VISIT.
BERLIN. July 4-The foreign office is re-
ceiving through Baron Won Bierbenstein,
secretary of state for foreign affairs, a
series of kilograms indicating the charac-
ter OF Emperor Williams reception in
England. The kilograms received up to q
late hour confirm the hope that the EN-
peror's stay in England will be one con-
tinuous ovation, the warm official greet
II find in L.
enthusiasm. Both public and official IN
terest will culminate in the reception at
the Guild hall on Friday next. Diplo-
matte circles here and probably every gov-
ernment in Europe have reason to expect
that the emperor will ann )un e tlenature
of the treaty just concluded maiu.Aining
the dreibuud
According to the belief in official circles
the emperor has discretionary power to
disclose the nature of the treaty between
Germany and Italy The new dreibund
includes three distinct agree
ments, one between Germany and Austria,
siUilar to the first defensive treaty which
way ,siRned in October, 1879, another be-
twsen Germany and Italy, ard third be.
tween Austria and Italy. The German
Italian treaty will be made public If Lord
gives his assent to the step,
while that between Austria and Italy Will
remain unrevealed. The idea is that
purely defensive character of the Italian
agreement ought to assist in modifying
the irritation of France.
The tone of the English press in seeking
to attenUate the political import OF EN-
peror Williams visit to England is under
stood but not appreciated here. The en-
peror has not gone surrounded by leading
political and military officials. His visit
s merely ceremonial one, as some English
papers declare, and is devoid of political
significance.
Assurances given by the London police
Of the safety of the emperor do not satisfy
-he authorities here and it is said that the
reports of Berlin police agents. who have
been in England for some time, cause dis
rust regarding the precautions taken by
he London authorities. A group of Ger
nan artisans applied directly 10 Count
Won Hatzfeldt, German ambassador to
England, for permission to pre-
'ent an address TO the emperor. The |
names and addresses of the petitioners |
Is given at the embassy were closely |
'crutinized, and it was found that most
If the applicants were good loyal men
some of the names proved TO be fictitious
md were, 1T IS supposed, adopted by Ger
nan anarchists. The emperor was in
ormed of the request and wished 10 re-
,eive them. 1t is understood, however,
hat the German ambassador prevailed |
Ipon his majesty not 10 do so, by remind |
NJ him that an attempt mad been made |
Ipon the life of his father during the lat |
er's sojourn in London in 1878. While |
