ROME, April 23.-Early this morning
the streets leading from the Quirnal to
the Prussian legation were filled with
persons anxious to see the emperor of
Germany on his way to luncheon with
Herr Won Buelow and the high digni-
tarieS of the Vatican. Shortly after
noon the emperor left the Quirlnal. He
rode in the Italian court carriage, and
responded repeatedly with bows and
SMILES to the continuous cheering which
accompanied his progress. The en-
peror alighted before the legation at
1880 o'clock. Herr Won Buelow, Prus-
sian minister at the Vatican, received
him at the entrance and presented Car
dinalS LeodochOwski and Mocenni and
Mgrs. Segna and DemOntel. Covers were
laid for sixteen. On the emperOr's
right hand sat Cardinal Leodochowski,
Freiheer Marschall von Bieberstein,
German minister of foreign affairs; the
Prince of PleSs, and Baron Stumm. On
his left were Cardinal Mocenni, Mai.
Won Moltke and Gen. Won Hahnke. Herr
Won BuelOw and the rest of the gnests
sat opposite the emperor. During the
luncheon the emperor was
Exceptionally Cheerful.
He chatted with Cardinal Leodochow-
ski throughout the meal, and afterward
continued the conversation for twenty
minutes or more. At 2 o'clock Empress
Augusta Victoria arrived at the 1ega-
ton. The presentations occupied half
an hour, and Immediately after them the
emperor, empress and their suites and
Herr Won BuelOw proceeded in the Prus-
sian court carriages to the Vatican.
Italian troops were drawn up in line on
each side of every street through which
the imperial party passed, and behind
the soldiers were packed cheering thou
sands of Italian citizens. The Vatican
was filed with the high dignitaries of
the church and the representatives of
the Catholic nobility of Italy. Cardinal
Mocenni, who had left the Prussian
legation in advance of the imperial
party, had reached the Vatican at 2:3O,
and from then until 2:55, when the en-
peror and empress arrived, had been in
consultation with the pope. Their
majesties allghted in the court of San
Damaso. Mgr. Della Volpe, major

the court, were presented by Herr Won
BueloW, and showed the way to the
palace on the right, where
TNhe Eu,uar5aI COuuIa
were received in the Clementine hall
by Mgr. Sambeeth, prefect Of cere-
monies; Mgr. AZevedO, grand chamber
lain. and other members of the papal
court. The emperor was in hussar uni
form. and during the short pause in the
first hall the Swiss guards paid him
military honOrs. At the door of the
Fellow chamber their majesties were
met 10y the pope. He led them to three
chairs, which had been placed near the
middle of the room, sat down with them
and conversed with both for fifteen

the emperor remained in
Conversation with the Pope,
while Freiherr Marschall Won Bieber-
stein was in attendance in the ante
chamber. The interview lasted fifteen
minutes after the departure of the en-
press. The pope was more affable than
usual, while the emperor, although
amiabIe, seemed to- be somewhat preoc-
cupied and nervous. At the end of the
interview the emperOr'S suite was pre-
sented to the pope. Upon leaving, the
emperor was accompanied by the pope,
contrary to the etiquette of the Vatican,
through the ante-chamber to the throne
room. AS they parted the emperor made
a movement as if to kiss the pOpe'S
hand. The pope quickly withdrew his
hand, then graSped the emperor'S and
shook it cordially three times. The en-
peror joined the empress and visited
with her st. Peters and the treasury.
