THROWN IN.
AUGUST WAR CELEBRATIONS.
The Kaiser to Lay the Corner
Stone of the Emperor Will
helm Monument.

| ilOSL sig IlullcdII were prODaDly those
at the foot of the national monument
at the Niederwald on Monday
Wednesday and yesterday, when 800
members of the Bavarian military
bands made a patriotic demonstra-
| tion. For the big celebration of Aug.
19, on the Tempelhof field, 235 veter-
an organizations will parade with
banners before the emperor, and gal
leries will be erected to accommo-
date 100000 spectators. Unfavorable
comment has been aroused by
the fact that the government
! will not officially take part
in the celebration, and the
governor of Bromberg, in written
refusal to join in the Sedau parade,
explained that it would be against
the dignity of royal officials to march
| through the streets beside plain ci-
villains.
| Complaints at the unsatisfactory
management of the new Baltic canal
continue to arrive from all German
ports, and especially from Dantzic
and Stettin. Cases are cited where
the expense Of passing the canal
| trebly exceeded the benefits derived
therefrom, and ship owners strongly
/ appeal that the management be tax
en- out of the clutches of the bu-
reaucracy and be governed on a bus
! mess basis. The government. howev-
er, persists in declaring that the
traffic is increasing daily, and espe-
clally in Danish, Swedish and Nor
Wegian vessels, and that the fees
charged are not eXorbitant
KAISER WILHELM MONUMENT.
The programme for laying the cor
ner stone Of the big Kaiser Wilhelm
monument near Berlin castle on
Aug. Is has been determined upon.
The emperor and empress will leave
the castle on foot and walk to the
spot where the corner stone has been
placed. Prince Hohenlohe, the
chancellor, will then hand his ma
Jesty document to be placed in the
hollow part of the stone. The en-
peror will read this document aloud.
a troWel and mallet will be given
MIN by Count Lercherfeld and the
| president of the reichstag, Baron Won
Buol-Berenberg, and his majesty
VIII perform the ceremony of laying
the stone. The Lutheran hymn will
| be played by the bands assembled.
the officiating clergyman will pro-
nounce blessing, and the ceremony
will be ended.
Grand preparations are being
made for the celebration of Sedan
| day, sept. 2. Throughout Prussia, the
Protestant churches will hold special
services, and King Albert of Sax
ony VIII come to Berlin by special
invitation of the emperor and be the
recipient of unusual honors, as he is
the last surviving army commander
IN active service. About a. score of
the other German princes and rulers
Will De present, among them the
| prince regent of Bavaria. A grand
zapfenstrich will be executed in front
OF the Berlin castle during the even
ing by all the bands of the guard
corps, and during the 4s.eht preced-
ang the celebration both shores of
the Rhine as far as the Dutch
frontier will be Illuminated by bon
hres arranged by the veterans.
IMPOSING ON AMERICANS.
The result of the Stern case has
| caused the most unpleasant impress
sion among Americans at all
the German spas. Similar regula-
| tlons to those apparently infringed
| by Mr. Stern prevail everywhere,
ana the punishment of the New York
merchant serves to stimulate the
German officials to fresh annoyances.
More than one of them has already
peen heard to remark in substance:
| You Americans must conform to
our customs" At Carlsbad a number
OF American public men are stop
ping, and they have all been espe-
cially Inundated by the apparent
failure Of the United States embassy
to accomplish anything in the mat
ter. They add that it is safe to saw
the case will have far-reaching con-
sequences. Nearly $4,000 patients
nave visited Carlsbad since May, the
number exceeding the record by 4OOo.
The greatest increase in the number
of visitors has been among the
Americans, who are by far the larg
| est foreign element Up to a fort
! night ago all the hotels and lodgings
! were packed with people; but the
crowds are now thinning. There is
much complaint among the visitors
at the eXtortionate prices charged at
the hotels and the veXatious rules,
and at the taxes imposed by the To-
cal authorities, which invite a con-
slant repetition Of the Stern case.
Mr.. Stern has been advised to ap-
peal to the clemency of the prince
! regent of Bavaria, who, it is said,
is sure to change the sentence of
two weeks imprisonment and a fine
Of 600 marks into a, mere fine. It ap-
| pears that the Bavarian government
| itself did not expect that Mr.. Stern
would be sentenced for insulting the
public official mentioned in the case.
Philip D. Armour, of Chicago,
completed the Carlsbad cure on Mon
day, and has departed. Among the
| prominent Americans now at CaTls-
bad are Senator Vest, of Missouri; !;
Col. Clayton McMichael, proprietor
Of the Philadelphia North American;
Mr.. and Mrs. Robert Mccormick, F.
H. Winston, Conrad Seipp and Hunt
ington Jackson, Of Chicago; Presi-
dent Ledyard, of the Michigan Cen
trail; Judge Dillon, leading counsel
| fer the Western Union Telegraph
company; Lady Isabella Smith, OF
Canada; Charles T. Pulsifer, of Bcs-
ton: Mr.. and Mrs. Nathan Powell,
of CINCINNATI; J. M. Pierce, of Cam
bridge, Mass, and Mesdanes Hardy
and Sealy, of Galveston, Tex
