WEIsBADEN, Oct. 16.-This pretty
watering place at the foot of the Taurus
Mountains is crowded with loyal and en-
thusiastic Germans to-day, and the town
itself is brilliant with holiday bunting in
honor of the Emperor's visit, who came
here to unveil the monument to his
grandfather, Emperor William l., and to
open the splendid royal theater.
The latter, which has been erected by
the enterprising town, is one of the finest
in Germany. 1t is built OF yellow sand
stone, and is surmounted by statues, the
work of celebrated sculptors. Inside the
new theater the decorations are beautiful.
They were designed by some al the best
German artists. Oft the royal box is a
little room made to resemble the cabin of
the royal ship Emperor William. The
windows overlooking those portions of
the city through which the Emperor is to
pass were eagerly sought after, and as
the afternoon approached began to I'LL
with ladies III bright toilets, accompanied
by their escorts. These windows were
prominently decorated.
The streets began to I'LL up with people
at an early hour, and by noon all the
town folks and visitors, among whom
were number of foreigners.
Emperor William was formally re-
ceiyed by Mayor Won iIibel. The EN-
peror was accompanied by a suite OF
sixteen persons, including the chiefs of
the military and social cabinets and his
Aide-de- Camps Won Moltke and Won
School.
The party proceeded in open carriages
through William strasse to the south
'front.' of the new theater, opposite which
stands the statue erected in honor of
Emperor William l., the present EN-
perror's grandfather. A guard of honor
composed of on-commissioned officers
from the Briebrich school, escorted the
Emperor through the streets, which were
lined with police and troops, the greatest
precaution being taken by the military
and civil authorities to prevent any un-
pleasant incident occurring during the
Emperor's journey from the railroad
station.
The festivities were somewhat marred
by the fact that the weather was cold and
dull.
Is. The Emperor wore the uniform of the
with the scull and eros
-bones helmet. and gray overcoat faced
with red. On arriving on the platform
his majesty gave the signal for the sing
ing to commence. While the male
the Mayor was making his speech OF
welcome, Emperor William stood quietly
looking over the crowd, apparently in
terested i'll everything be saw.
AT the conclusion of the Mayors speech
his majesty replied in few well chosen
words, and then ordered the statue to be
unveiled. as the drapery slowly receded
his majesty kept his right hand at salute,
and his example was followed by all the
officers present. 1t was noticed, how
ever, that the Emperor did not appear to
entirely approve the statue or the position
it occupied. He conversed for a long
time earnestly with those around him,
kept pointing toward the statue and then
walked slowly around it.
Returning to the Pavilion, the Emperor
had the guard of honor march past again
this time with the parade march. After
ward the Emperor shook hands cordially
with the Mayor and others, and drove to
the Palace amid loud cheers.
After dinner Emperor William went
with his suite to the new tneater, where
the audience was entirely composed OF
invited guests. The first row of the
dress circle was reserved for ladies, as at
the gala performance at Berlin.
After the performance the Emperor
supped with Rittmeister Won Hulson. di-
rector of the theater, at his house on Som
nenberger strasse, and at 1890 p. NJ. his
majesty left for Berlin by special train. to
be present at the ceremonies attendant on
the arrival at the capital tomorrow of
King Alexander of Servia.

illuminated in all quarters
