MAKER OF GERMANY
Imposing Ceremonies in Honor
of Emperor William.
DAY OF GRAVELOTTE BATTLE
Prcsen S Ruler of the FatherIand Laid
the Foundation Stone or an
Imposing Monument.

Berlin, Aug. 18.--There has been
splendid weather today, which is the
9sth anniversary of Gravelotte day
which had so decisive an influence on
the Franco-Prussian war. The ami
versary was signalized here by the lay
ing OF the foundation stone to the mon
ument OF the late Emperor William
by his grandson, William IL In the pres
ence of many German soVereigns and
other dignitaries. The proceedings
opened at o'clock this morning. The
colors and standards of the various reg
iments, crowned with oak leaves, were
brought on the ground and richly
decorated imperial standard displayed
in the center of the group.
AT Q o'clock a flourish of trumpets an
nounced the arrival Of Emperor Will
liam, who was received by Chancellor
Won Hohenlohe. The emperor deposit
ed under the foundation stone of the
monument to his grandfather a me-
mortal document, in which he referred
to the enthusiastic uprising Of the Ger
man nation under his grandfather, EN-
perOr William the great, who had re-
stored the Germans to their ardently
desired unity and had succeeded in Sc
curing for the newly arisen empire it's
proper weight in the system Of states.
Then, addressing the brilliant assem-
bIage, the emperor read aloud from the
document to be deposited IN the fOun-
dation stone: THE self sacrificing
record OF the German princes,
the wise counsel and energetic support
or Won Bismarck, the consummate
strategy and genius of Won Moltke,
the unequalled courage and ability of
the commanders of the army aud be-
fore all, the valOr of Grown Prince
Frederick William, the devoted ffdeli-
~ of Field Marshal Won Room and the
discipline of the people, rendered sue
cess certain. But also in the direction
Of works of peace, the emperor was I'M
firing to his last breath in active fur
theranCe OF the welfare of the working
classes. The statue of William the Great
should form testimony of the mex
tinguishable gratitude of the princes
and people of Germany"
at this point Count Won Lerchfield,
the BaVarian envoy plenipOtentiary
handed Emperor William a trowel, re-
guessing that his majesty would lay
the foundation Of q memorial which
would remind Germany of the greatest
period of her history, and which the
entire nation desired to erect to the
founder of the German empire. After
the emperor had spread the cement on
the stone, Baron Won uel-Berendborg,
president OF the reichstag, gave his
majesty mallet, at the same time de-
ciaring that the memorial would be a
bronze monument of the ineXtinguish-
able gratitude Of the nation. Emper-
I,,i0
saying: I'm memory Of the fallen, In
recognition OF the living and for the
emulation of the future generations"
The emperor and the royal person
ages present beginning with the crown
prince, Frederick William, and the
grand duke of Baden, then tapped the
stone in succession, while a salute of
1Oi guns was fired and the band played.
The whole ceremony was most brilliant
and all who witnessed it were deeply
impressed.
