head-centre Of commerce. 1t was decided

entitled to the same. l have been here
Just three days-this being my nrst visit

by rail TO Millboro', Va, via Chesapeake
and Ohio railway from the West and
South. and from thence by carriage over
mountain passes a distance OF seven and
a half miles. There are three trains
daily and mail facilities twice day both
ways.
The temperature ranges from 70 10 %
degrees, and even at the latter figure II
IS always comfortable, as one can hnd
a shady spot at any time of the day.
The grounds are nicely arranged with
walks and grass plots and children avail
themselves OF these without being or
dered off the grass. as. perhaps, in many
other places.
The accommodations are first-class.
and what | wish to impress mainly is,
that cleanliness pervades the place In
everything connected with the comforts
and requirements Of the guests.
The huntsmen and those who love fish
ing IL affords ample sport to. as many
guests who are here now have come from
long distances TO engage in these delight
full pastimes.
The mountains and waters abound in
fish and game, and one need go but a
short distance to indulge in the respec-
tive sport.
To conclude. will say that am sorry

liantly decorated.
On leaving the train the Emperor pro-
ceeded on horseback TO a triumphal arch
at the castle gate, where the chief bur-
gomaster delivered an address of welcome
to his Majesty.
Emperor William, replying to the adj
dress, said:
II thank you, Worshipfu Burgomaster
for your cordial words. am not a
stranger to your city When here as a boy
1 conceived ideas similar to those you
have just expressed The Holy Roman
empire OF the German peoples fell be-
cause it was not built on a national foun-
dation. Its decadence was due TO lack
of patriotism and cohesion. The German
empire of to-day arose out Of a strongly
felt need OF union and of a common
head. and 1t reared itself upon the basis
OF love Of fatherland.
II am firmly determined to preserve
with all my strength the work OF my
grandfather, and that peace which is so
dear TO us. This ! shall only be able TO
do IL we succeed in maintaining our pres
tige with our neighbors. To this end
the harmony and cooperation Of all the
German race and all German individuals
is necessary.
II rejoice to see how beautifully May
ence has developed. You may be assured
l shall always feel a warm interest in
your future, and shall do In your behalf
all that lies in my power, so that you
may be able uninterruptedly to live in
civil concord, conduct your trade. and
TO cultivate your vineyard.
II shall always be mindful OF the fact
that it was from tie house OF my dear
cousin, where | am now a guest that
my grandfather started on his westward
march, during which, with firm ham
mer-stroke, he welded the German EN-
pire 1 thank you for your friendly re-
ception, and for these beautiful decora-
tions beg also to thank you, my fellow
citizens"
Emperor William then shook hands
with the Burgomaster, amid the cheers
of the multitude. and rode off to the
reviewing ground.
Considerable excitement was caused
here last evening by the arrest OF five
Frenchmen, who were making anti-Ger-
man demonstrations.

SOLDIERS WANT DISCHARGES.
Governor Tyler is receiving many let
tors daily from soldiers in the different
Virginia regiments asking him 10 have
them discharged from the service. In
nearly every instance the writers say
they do not want to serve longer, for the
reason that there is to be no fighting for
them. and they want to come home 10
their families and business. or course.
the Governor has no power TO discharge
a soldier from the service OF the United
states. but Governor Tyler has all along
taken such warm interest In the welfare
az the virginia soldiers that they seem
to imagine him as powerful as he is ready
to work in their behalf.
