Regarding annexation she said:
81 think the matter will be settled according
to the modern ideas of justice, and that annexa-
ton will not really take place. Indeed, it looks
more probable that the monarchy will be re.
vived, either with the Queens restoration, or
my own succession, possibly with United
States protectorate. But this is what you call
in the air only.
Socially, we were received with open arms
The receptions in all the cities we visited were
splendid. The Ladies' Club of Washington
had special soiree, crowded with Senators and
their wives; really the cream of American
society. In a private way, a leading Senator
gave dinner to US. where we met the Diplo-
matte Corps and many statesmen.
Everywhere we seemed to be welcome, and
over in Philadelphia, where we only had few
hours to stay, reception had been prepared
for us. You can see the American hospitality
was quite real.

for and sold everywhere. believe the Boston

In most cases the parents of these boys seemed

barefooted.
As soldiers fear these young fellows would
not be very fierce. In drill they have not that
