and Too Eager Civilians.
BUDA-PESTH, Sept. 21-Among the Incl
dents in connection with the arrival here
yesterday Of Emperor William of Germany
are the following: On his way to the rail-
way station to meet the German Emperor
Emperor Francis Joseph passed a Bosnon-
ian division commanded by a general. The
Emperor rose in his carriage and cried in
loud voice: rs that how you drill your
men, general Look at them, they are a dis
grace"
To a Bosnonian colonel the Emperor said:
Teach your soldiers the rules colonel, be-
fore you let them march out of the bar
racks"
At three points along the route Emperor
Francis Joseph stopped his carriage and
angrily remarked on the conduct of the
public, who persisted in trespassing within
the lines of troops. When the procession,
headed by the two emperors, was returning
from the railroad station, the horse Of the
censured general became FESTIVE and the
general, sheathing his sword ordered the
Bosnonians to open their line and before
the imperial party arrived he rode out of
sight. evidently fearing the Emperor would
again censure him.
AT the state banquet given to-day in hon.
or of Emperor William of Germany. EN-
estys health, referred to him as My faith
ful friend, ally and unwearicd fellow la bor-
er in the great work of peace, to which
may we ever devote our best powers. In
conclusion the Austrian Emperor remarked:
Convinced that similarity of sentiment
guides us IN this exalted mission, l empty
my glass;" etc.
Emperor William in repiy remarked: cit
was with feelings of the most profound
gratitude that | listened to your Majestys
most cordial greeting Thanks to your
Majestys invitation, L have been enabled
TO visit this beautiful city, whose splendid
reception has literally overwhelmed me. We
Germans follow with sympathetic interest,
the history of the Hungarian people whose
love for their country has become proverb
and who, in their struggles have not hes
ttated to sacrifice their blood and goods in
defense of the cross Names like Zrnyi
and Czigeth to this day make the heart
of every German lad beat faster with SYM
pathetic admiration. We have followed the
celebration of the thousandth birthday of
the loyal Hungarlans, arrayed in dazzling
Splendor about their beloved King Their
majestic movement testify to their artistic
sense, while the bursting of the letters laid
by the iron gates on commerce and inter-
course opened new paths and brought Hun
gary into the ranks, and on equal footing
with the great civilized nations.
But what has made the deepest impress
slons upon me during my stay in Hungary
is the enthusiastic devotion of the Hunga-
rians to your Majesty's august person. Not
alone here, however, but in Europe and
above all with my own people, the. same
ty, a feeling in which | also. who look I'm
as a son to your Majesty, as being my pa
ternal friend, venture to claim a share.
Thanks to the wisdom of your Majesty
our alliance concluded in the past by our
people, stands firm and indssoluble. 1t has
secured peace to Europe for a long time
and will do so still longer. The impassioned
devotion to your Majesty of this l am GER
tain, burns to this day in the hearts of the
sons of Arfad, as it did the day when they
cried aloud to your Majesty's great ances-
tors 'Moriamur pro rege nostro. In giving
expression to these sentiments we wish
one and all, to combine all we think feel
and desire for your. Majesty in the cry
which every hungarian echoed to his last
breath-'Eljen kraly.'
The speech of Emperor William caused
tremendous enthusiasm, especially when he
alluded to Count Zrinyis defense of the for
treSS of Szigenn in 1856 when he blew up
the citadels rather than capitulate to the
Turks.
After the banquet Emperor William and
Emperor Francis Joseph attended a gala
performance at the opera, following which
they inspected the street Examinations
They then drove to the railway station
where the German Emperor babe farewell
10 his imperial host and took his departure
after mutual kissing and amid loud cheer
ing.
No explanation, official or otherwise. Is
offered for the sharp defamation which was
heard on Monday when Emperor William
and Emperor Francis Joseph were leaving
the railway station. 1t has been variousIy
attributed to a fog signal and to an acct
dent to electrical machinery. In the panic
caused by the report and the thick cloud of
dust and smoke which followed seyert V-sfx
persons We're injured.
