The present profuse display of ma

Our ships camps, and fortresses fly
their flags only between sunrise and

The dinner was resumed without fur

ulated time an orderly appeared, and,
saluting the captain, said: Il have, sir,

Emperor William at once stood up

with which steam was gotten up. and
\ proposed a personal inspection Of the

peror Of all the Germans boarded his

renewal of his ninety-day note, and
when he reached home he was sad and
