HAMBURG, June 10. AT the
Dammther railroad station during
the morning large numbers of people
gathered from the cities and sur
rounding country, anxious to obtain
glimpse of the emperor and his
sons upon their arrival from Berlin
throughout the morning crowds
gathered from all points, and be-
tween IL and ] o'clock traffic through
| the main thoroughfares was entire
| ly suspended. Pedestrians collected
along the route to the Rathaus, the
Alsther, Alther, Neuwal and other
leading thoroughfares. In spite Of
| the immense crowds assembled
throughout the gaily decorated city
| the most perfect order was kept by
| the mounted police, and there were
| no soldiers visible except the SOL
diers in front of hotels where the
| imperial guests are entertained. At
| the luncheon given at noon in the
banqueting hall of the geological
| garden 120 persons were entertained,
including the king of Wurtemburg,
| the visiting princes, Prince Hohen-
| lohe, the imperial chancellor, the
| German ministers and the members
| of the Hamburg senate. The guests
| afterwards drove to the Elbe, en-
barked on board a steamer and
| made tour of the port. They were
| greeted everywhere with great en-
| thusiaSm.
THE EMPEROR ARRIVES.
| At 2:30 p. m. the military and naval
| guards were drawn up about the
railroad station, and at 2:45 p. m.
| Prince Henry of Prussia arrived and
drove off amid tremendous cheers
| The platform of the depot was
thronged with military officers and
representatives of the press, and in
a large and shady beer garden adj
| joining citizens and soldiers min
gled, chatting and drinking beer and
coffee, while others bowled. The i'm
| perial train steamed into the depot
| at 4:12 p. M, and shortly afterwards
| the emperor and his four sons
stepped out upon the platform.
Their appearance was greeted with
an outburst of cheers. The emperor,
who appeared to be in the best of
| spirits, wore a white garde du corps
uniform, crossed with the broad rib
bon of the Order of the Black Eagle
On his head was a sparkling gold
helmet, surmounted by white
eagle. The four young princes were
dressed in white sailor suits, and
wore straw hats. On the lawn in
front of the railroad station was
drawn up company of the Seventy
sixth regiment of infantry. The SOL
diers presented arms with wonderful
precision, and the band played Hail
dir Kaiser" as his majesty appeared.
The emperor, upon leaving the sta
ton, inspected the guard of honor,
walking up the line of motionless
soldiers, accompanied by the young
princes and by Burgomaster
Moenckberg and ex-Burgomaster
Lehman, both of whom had served
his majesty at the station. The en-
peror, accompanied by Herr Moenck-
berg, then drove off in a four-horse
carriage with outriders and escorted
hussars. The young princes and his
majesty's suite followed in other
carriages On the way to the Rath-
aus his majesty was cheered by. the
immense crowds lining the route.
HIGH HOLIDAY AT KEEL.
KEEL, June 19.-There was a
heavy downfall of rain this morning
and for time it seemed likely to
jeopardize the success of the canal
fetes. Happily the clouds cleared
away and brilliant sunshine, accom-
panied by pleasant breeze, fol-
lowed AS a result the streets were
soon alive with people and every
where the greatest animation pre-
vailed. Many of the streets are dec
Grated with triumphal arches, and
with greetings to the emperor sus-
pended across the thoroughfareS.
The whole city presents stril1ingly
effective appearance. The flags of
all nations were hoisted along the
Alster at noon and the sentries at
the doors of the principal hotels de-
noted the presence there of the i'm
perial guests. Naturally the chief
center of the attraction was the sea-
port, where the war ships attracted
many thousands of spectators.
Those of the United States, Great
Britain, Italy and Austria were es-
pecially admired. Large stands, hid
den by a profusion of towers, have
been erected at the entrance of the
canal. AT 8 a. m. the war vessels
of the fourteen nations represented
here hoisted their flags to the strains
of the anthems of their respective
countries. The official introduction
of the foreign admirals and COM
manders to the. port captain and the
military commandant of Kiel oc-
Cured on board the Mars, and con-
cluded with the official interchange
of visits. The Mars hoisted the flag
of Admiral Knoor and the latter
subsequently, accompanied by the
commanders of the foreign squad
rons and many officers of various
nations, started for Hamburg in or
der to meet the emperor.
