fifth birthday of Emperor William was
celebrated today throughout Germany,
in a most elaborate and enthusiastic
manner, and with a display of regard

tested, by the people of Germany.
| In addition to celebrating the emper-
or's birthday. they have been celebrat-
ing the twenty-ifth anniversary of en-
tering into the Prussian army and,
above all, the reconciliation between
the emperor and Bismarck. Emperor
William was born in Berlin on January
81, 1859, and succeeded to the throne on
the death of his father, the late EN-
peror Frederick, on June Is, 1888.

ace were thronged with people at an
early hour this morning and Berlin
itself, from the center to the extreme
suburbs, presented a decidedly ami
mated appearance.

royal salute of 101 guns, fired a little
before 10 a. M, at which hour the
emperor received the congratulations
Iof the members of the imperial family.

of the headquarters staff and the chiefs
of the civil and military cabinets, as

family and representatives of the royal
families present proceeded to the white

ception of all the notabilities of Berlin
was held. Among those present were
the grand dukes of Baden, Hesse, Tus-
lcany and -Altenburg; princes of
Reuss, Waldeck, Saxe-Altenburg and
iAecklenberg-S chwerin. The ceremony
of giving out the parole and counter
sign occurred soon after noon, amidst
a scene of the greatest military splen-
dor. The place selected for this cere-
nlony was the great court of honor at
the arsenal. All the celebrated officers
tof the empire were present, either at
the castle chapel or the arsenal. Dur
ling the early part of the day the va
riety of dazzling uniforms, covered
with glittering orders and stars, was
positively bewildering.

Neue Wache guard house. adjoining

guard dismissed after presenting arms
and receiving in the regulation manner

peculiar cry of "heraus' from the SEN
tinel, followed by the beating of drums,
brought all the guards back from the
guard house where they were again
called upon to present arms for some
general or for some one above that
rank.
