A significant circumstance occurred
during a visit of the Emperor of Ger
many to England. The kaiser was for
II day the guest of the lord mayor.
and the city of London received him
and several Of the queens children on
that day.
The old city was splendidly decorat-
ed, and set for a great public function.
The streets from Buckingham palace
to the lord mayors mansion were lined
with infantry and cavalry, back of
whom was a solid mass of people.
Between these lines the royal car
riages slowly passed. They moved in
almost absolute silence, save for the
perfunctOry salutes Of the soldiery. The
queen was not present, and for mere
royalty as royalty, there was appar-
emily no popular feeling save that OF
curiosity.
When, however, the carriage of the
Princess of Wales appeared, and hel
sweet, kind face was seen, the applause
grew enthusiastic. Suddenly a burs;
of cheers was heard, as Il low, black
wagon came swiftly down the throng.

The distinction Of having arrested

Munger. who was formerly a corporal
in the Fourth Michigan Cavalry. This
important capture has frequently been

A Patron of Music.

The Emperor Williams interest In
music was "a Berlin correspondent
says lately shown in Il very practical
way. The other day, when he was
shooting in the forests Of Letzlingen,
the band of the Uhlans played selec-
tons during dinner. The Emperor,
with his suite, went up to the musicians
and made some observations about the
way in which al Italian popular song,
'Funiculi Funicula," had been played,
saying that it should have been taken
quicker. Thereupon the Emperor took
the baton, and under his conductorship
the song had to be repeated. He fur
Their conducted some military marches.
Five songs by Count Philip Won Eulen-
burg, the German ambassador in Wen
ma, pleased the Emperor 50 much that
all had to be repeated.

Was Well Attend ed.

A large and appreciative audience was
at the Opera House last evening to listen
to the performance of the Big Four min
strel company. The entertainment. az
an ameteur production, was certainly
far above the average and the audience
appeared to be more than pleased, judg-
ing from the liberal applause that was
bestowed on the different specialties from
time to time. The local puns we're very
good and took very well with the aud
fence.
The songs by Miss Jacques and Messrs.
Penberthy and Douglass, Hambitzer and
the end men received liberal applause.
"Jim" Thomson wasall that was claimed
for him and he brought down the house
in his speciality work. Messrs. Waite
and Pauli's interruption OF the perfor-
nance was one Of the best features and
they were very literally applauded.
The drill OF the "Darktown Cadets" by
a squad from the Houghton Light Infan-
try, was fine exhibition and the tableau
at the close OF the performance very
nicely ended most pleasant evening q

Passed or Quietly.

Most OF the stores and principal places
OF business were closed yesterday, and,
although election day is not legal holi-
day, il was pretty generally observed
here as such. The men at the different
mines were allowed the whole day in
some cases and Others hall shift in
order TO vote. The bands were about
town part OF the day and helped to make
things interesting. Most OF the candi.
dates for county Offices did their hustling
here and hot war was on at most OF
the precincts all day long. Further than
this the day passed off without much
excitement until the returns began to
come in in the evening. Most ofthe candi-
dates friends had several novel ways OF
seeking votes, besides the usual cards
and hand bills which were thrown about
rather promiscuously. Large signs were
displayed on the sides OF express wagons
and other rigs. asking citizens to vote
for so and so and for such an Office.
Some OF Candidate Malherbe's friends
had a rig decked out with large sign,
reading to vote for Malherbe for sheriff,
and a mammoth bottle OF Pabst beer
tied on the top OF the rig. One enthusi-
astic goldbug was about town attired
in every available symbol OF his politics.
He wore golden shoes, large hat with
golden border, a huge gold chain and
had gold bugs and gold coins, too numer-
Gus to mention, on his coat.
There was one scrap which was not Sc
rious enough to result in an arrest, so
far reported. Two Bryan men were pass
ing two republicans in rigs near the Mer-
chants & Miners Bank. when the repub-
hcans yelled out, Three cheers for Nc
Kinley." The others answered and both
stopped their horses, got out OF the bug
gies and had free-for. all scrap right
there in the mud. The Bryan man won,
Tor he dragged his opponent through the
mud and kicked him several times IN the
lace and then went back to his rig and
drove away. The other managed to get
INTO his buggy with assistance.

How the Returns Were Handled.

HhVN inc tctuFnb were han0Ied.
The local management OF the telegraph
company deserves great credit for the
excellent manner in which the election re-
turns from outside were handled here.
Beside the operator at the Calumet Office,
operators were stationed at the Red
jacket Opera House and Laurium.
Copies we're made at the Calumet Office
and sent to the Hecla and Light Guard
Armory as soon az received and the
other two operators were on the same
line az the Calumet Office.
At Laurium and at the Red Jacket
Opera House large crowds were gathered
and from the time the first bulletin came
in until almost daylight this morning
the crowd stayed, listening anxiously to
every report. When a report favorable
to Mckinley came IN a cheer would go up
from the enthusiastic crowd, and from
the amount OF cheering that was done
one would wonder il Bryan had succeeded
IN carrying Montana. Bulletins we're
also read from the stage during the enter
tainment and the audience went wild
when it became apparent that Mckinley
was elected.
