| Emperor william of Germany to Call
on Queen Victoria and Put Up Mt
Windsor Castle - Preparations for
the Reception.
LONDON, July 1. - The Prince and
Princess of Wales will not meet the Ger
man emperor at Port Victoria, near Sheer
ness, as previously announced. The
emperor will be met upon landing there
by the Duke of Connaught, the Duke of
Edinburgh and the Duke of Clarence and
Avondale. The Prince and Princess of
Wales will await the arrival of his imper-
ial majesty at Windsor Castle. 1t is some
what humiliating to British pride to have
to note in this connection that there is not
sufficient rooms in Windsor Castle to
accommodate the many royalties" who
will gather there to meet and welcome the
and to at the same time accomo-
date his suite. The result is
that many of the German WISH
tors will have to be billetted at
the hotels in the neighborhood of Wind
sor Castle. In addition the queen did not
have sufficient number of carriage horses
at Windsor Castle. Subsequently twenty
additional horses and ten additional car
riages have been despatched from the
royal stables in London to reinforce the
Windsor contingent A large extra force
of servants of all descriptions has also left
London for Windsor. The military
authorities of Great Britain are distracted
at the inordinate acquisitions which are
arms who will, for ornamental purposes,
be subjected to Inconvenience and fatigue,
while incidentally the country is sub
jected to the great expense natural to such
parading.
The Prince of Wales to-day had long
interview with the queen, who summoned
the heir apparent to her presence for the
purpose of discussing and settling num-
Der of infinitely perplexing questions of
court etiquette and precedence which have
arisen on account of the approaching visit
VI
The court circles, military circles and
nearly all other circles are more or less
stirred up and worried by Emperor Will
liam's coming. Truth, referring to the
emperor's visit, says: "The botheration
is unprecedented since the time of the
queens marriage. The kaiser is a hun
dred times more exacting and unreasonable
than the Emperor Nicholas, who caused
such trouble then"
THE EMPEROR AT AMSTERDAM.
AMSTERDAM, July 1.-The emperor was
received with salvo of artillery, the
whole river being lined with vessels
decorated from stem to stern with bunt-
ing. Upon landing the most cordial
greetings were exchanged between the
queen, the queen-regent and the emperor
and empress, as well as between the other
members of the royal families and high
dignitaries assembled. All the important
diplomatic and military authorities of
Holland were present either at the landing
place or at the royal palace. The route
leading from the landing place
to the palace was lined
with troops and crowded to the
| utmost with enthusiastic citizens of
| Amsterdam and its neighborhood, who
| warmly greeted Germany's young emperor.
AFTER passing an nOur or so at tne palace
| the emperor drove through the city. AT
the banquet this evening the young queen
was seated between the emperor and en-
press, and the queen-regent sat next to the
emperor. The usual toasts were proposed.
Afterwards the whole party sat on the bal
| cony and listened to military tattoo by
an orchestra of 1 900 men. The front of
| the palace was illuminated with electric
| lights. The monument in the center was
buried in flowers and was transformed
| into an Illuminated four-jet fountain.
There was great crush of people in the
Dam Square and many women tainted
