At the evening service the following reso-
lutlons indorsing the position of Great
Britain in her war with the Beers were
unanimously adopted:
Whereas, England is now engaged in
war with the Dutch. a people calling
themselves the Beers, a people who have
been grabbing. squatting in South Africa
and monopolized large portion of the
country and are now recognized as ma
ton; and,
Whereas, these people entertain the
belief that the color OF mans skin is a
badge of inferiorlty to such extent that
the native African, or persons of color,
are prohibited from all the rights and

CROWN PRINCE is NOW OF AGE
FUTURE RULER OF GERMANY CEL-
ERATEs HIS MAJORITY.
Symbolic Services in Royal Chapel
Ambassador white Extends Con-
ordinations from Mckinley.

Berlin, May Yesterday being the third
and last day Of the festivities in connec-
ton with the celebration OF the coming
of age of the crown price, httingly capped
the climax. The weather was unusually
warm and sunny for early spring. The
streets down town were consequently
crowded with visitors, virtually the en-
tire population of Berlin, including sew
eral scores of thousands of outside, NOV
ing to and fro in holiday attire.
The police considerably relaxed the
stringency of their regulations.f At
a. m the two emperors, attended by
gorgeous retinue, were present at a
special mass. celebrated by Cardinal kiph
in ST. Edwg's church. From the church
beth drove TO the Sieges Ale for the un
yelling of the statue of Emperor sgis-
mond who preceded in the Fifteenth CEN
fury the Hohenzollerns as rulers OF
Brandenburg.
Then the emperors went back to the
castle, where, at 10 a. m. Emperor Will
liam and the crown prince received the
congratulations of the special mission,
including that of the United States. Am
bassador White made "a short speech,
using English throughout, which both
the emperor and the crown prince under
stand perfectly first addressing the en-
peror and presenting congratulations from
President Mckinley in pursuance of the
telegram received Thursday. The en-
peror rejoined in pleasant speech, say
ing he was very much gratihed and that
the sentiments expressed by President Nc
Kinley were cordially reciprocated by both
himself and his son.
Mr.. White then turned to the crown
prince and made another brief speech to
the same purport.
Soon after occurred the symbolical SER
vices in the castle chapel, whereby the
majority - the crown prince was de-
clared.
The scene was most impressive, the
chapel being beautifully decorated. En-
peror Francis Jos q h and the German
empress led the way, Emperor William,
with the grand duke of Baden following.
Next came the youngest imperial child and
then the crown price and the Italian
crown prince. y
The Berlin press today publishes an
enormous quantity OF matter about the
crown prince, Biographical and otherwise,
describing him as "a most sympathetic
youth" as earnest. unaffected. modest"
and as filled with strong sense of duty
and sound in body and soul"
