bassy and 1000 guests, court etiquette
is always relaxed. The emperor chat
ted with the ambassadors and others
quite informally. His . majesty con-
NerSed at length with United States
Ambassador White and spoke admir-
lnSly of the children of Mrs. Wiborg
a niece of Secretary Sherman. He said
1t was revelation to himself and the
empress to meet such well-bred Amer
lean children, as the latter are gener-
ally believed in Germany to be lack
ing in manners But" the emperor
added, If the Wiborgs are the typical
American children, then the latter have
been grossly n1aligned" His majesty
also spoke of the American comic pa
! pers and the excellent drawings in
them.
The conversation turning upon the
loss of the battIeShip Maine Mr. White
thanked .ae emperor for his telegram
OF sympathy sent to President McKin-
ley, particularly because it was sent in
Engilsh and was thus understood by

CASE NOT SIMILAR.
/ Emperor William pooh-poohed Count
Won Aran's remarks in the reichstag
crlticlsing President Mckinley for his
alleged lack of courtesy in not framing
MS reply in German, saying the cases
were not similar His majesty further
remarked that the disaster was doubt
less que to an unlucky accident, and
not TO the work of Spanish fanatic
adding that all the evidence pointed
that way.
incidentally, the emperor said he had
Deen misrepresented by some Ameri
can newspapers as to his dislike for
Americans. On the contrary. the en-
peror sala' ne liked many traits in the
American character.
The emperor was also most oraciors
ana the emperor and empress honored
MIS- Wlborg and her three children
with an invitation to visit the castle. 1t
was regular family party. While the
emperor and empress chatted with the |
mother the children romped in the
same room with the imperial children. |

TOO OBSEQUIOUS.
An informal decree has been issued
begging the public to cease molesting
the emperor and empress while thav
are out driving. Their matesties if is
set forth, are grateful for the Ioyal
greetings, but they object to a man
suddenly darting forward with petitions
ana frightening the horses and occu-
pants OF the carriage. Their maiesties
also object to the persons who insist
upon throwing bouquets into their. pass
ing carriage. The latter. ii appears ara
mainly ladies and unskillful throwers.
for one of the bouquets hit the emperor,
IN the face, the wires on the flowers
painful scratch The police
nave ordered all such personal ap-
proaches to cease, and offenders will be
arrested and punished.
A decree was issued by the govern
nent on Thursday last forbidding fha
future attendance of foreigners IN the
machinery and engineering department
II the Berlin technical high school. and
t. has caused much CONSERVATION
among the foreign born students in {
Germany. and it is believed to be the
.oferunner OF others, excluding them
rom all similar institutions.
The liberal newspapers condemn the |.
iecree and express the belief that other
Countries will retaliate by a similar il !
lberal policy The conservative semi
official press however, applauds the de- {
rec, and hopes it will be followed bv {
'thefs OF more sweeping and general
character. 5
LESS LIBERALITY. 2
Inquiries made By the government c
authorities show that y
russia mas for some time been ex- v
managing views on the subject with the =
'ther German governments. and the o
regulations continue. 1t is impossible :
o foreten how they will end, but a
iigh government official said:
There is no question but that the
German technical schools and indus
RAJ scientific institutions will soon be +

We have been teaching them so long
re now being used against us to the o

specially the case with students of il
uch countries as japan. Russia and 81
asst Europe: also. but in a lesser de- il
rec, with the students of England. O.
america, France and Belgium. IT is b
ne part of wisdom to discontinue this
ilce-open policy. If other countries W

o stand it,
The American university students t,
ere express the opinion that the gov w
rnment will shortly issue a decree re- fe
trlcting the attendance at UNIVERSE h
