peatedly with bows and smiles to the con-
tinuous cheering which accompanied his
progress. The emperor alighted before

pope, while FIieherr Marschall Won Bieb-
erstein was in attendance in the ante
chamber. The interview lasted fifty
eight minutes after the departure of

dffable than usual, while the
emperor, although amiable, seemed to be
somewhat preoccupied and nervous. At
the end of the interview the emperOr's
suite was presented 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
