and declare that the proceedings as a
whole could not be surpassed as a series
of events beneficial to the empire, and
ought to prove to the world the pacific
character of the German nation and ths
supreme desire for peace which finds ex-
preston through the emperor's words
and the popular demonstration which ac-
companied them.
The Tageblatt says that although the
opening of the canal was accompanied
by formidable displays of naval strength,
the real significance of the celebration
could not be mistaken. The emperor
placed the enormous power of the coun-
try at the service of peace and interna-
tional commerce. The canal is not a war
like ambition. but its aim is enterprise.

was a tremendous crush. At 10 O'Clock
the emperor with the four eldest of the
young princes made his appearance, and
few minutes later the empress, robed in
satin of a heliotrope color and ablaZe
with diamonds, entered the ball room.
Her majesty seemed much fatigued, and
after walking in the imperial procession
around the main hall, stood near the
kaiser, around whom were circled the
princes and the ladies of the court. Later
the emperor made tour of the rooms,
chatting with one and another, spending
considerable time in conversation with
Admiral kirkland and Lord Walter Kerr,
the admiral commanding the British
squadron, and later exchanging a few
words with the italian and Austrian
admirals. In the meantime Admiral
Menard of the French squadron; NJ. Her

to see Admiral Menard and the French ad-

cord of congratulations upon the success
of the fetes and the general expressions
of satisfaction some of the members of
the Reichstag complain of having been
neglected. Herr Richter, the trenissinig
leader in the Reichstag, at the banquet,
in Hamburg, found himself seated
by the side of his bitter politi-
cal opponent Rector Ahlwardt,
the notorious anti-Semite deputy.
Herr Richter is very indignant at this
and charges the officials with having
purposely insulted him.

Kiel. June 22-The weather this morn
ing was fine and cool breeze was blow
ing. The ships in the bay We're dressed
at an early hour and the harbor was full
of life and color. At o'clock the training
ships of tho German squadron steamed out
to sea and half an hour later the manou-
vering fleet, in company with the royal
yacht Hohenzollern, with the emperor on
board, followed. Close behind these ships
came a number of excursion steamers,
crowded with guests. The evolutions,
which included a sham battle, took place
in that part Of the Baltic lying between
the German mainland and the Danish is
lands.
The manouvering fleet returned to the
harbor at noon. The evolutions were
highly successful. The vessels Of the
American squadron have continued to be
objects of admiration and curiosity to the
officers Of all of the assembled fleets, who
almost without exception have inspected
them. The consensus of opinion Is that
the San Francisco is the neatest, cleanest
and snartest ship in the harbor, and the
Columbia one Of the finest and best.
All of the foreign naval officers speak
in the highest terms of the courtesies ex-
tended to them during their stay here
