evening are unanimous in declaring
that their utterances made evident the
intact and strong character OF the
dreibund before the world. The Tag
eblatt, besides points out that the pc
culiar nature OF the celebrations COM
memorating the crown princes COM
ing of age. has never before been
equalled anywhere, as it Is really a
fete of crown prices and heirs to
thrones, all of whom have come to
pay tribute to the heir to the German
empire
This paper also argues that this
demonstration strikingly that the
whole world has been convinced that
the German empire really means
peace.
From the casino the emperors drove
to the opera to witness the gala per-
Torrance of Auber's Bronze Horse.
The interior and exterior of the opera
house was prettily decorated with silk
and velvet draperies, showing the col
ors of Austria-Hungary, eyergreens
and fresh roses, the German colors Of
ten intertwined with them. The Ger
man emperor had taken special pains
to make the performance itself enjoy
able. Some special new scenery had
been painted, fine costumes were pro-
vided and during the rehearsals, weeks
ago, his majesty indicated personally
the improvements he desired. The bal
let which was interspersed through the
performance, was likewise fine. En-
peror Francis Joseph, after the per-
Torrance, left a number of costly pres
entS for the women artists and decora-
tons of gold watches or diamond pins
for the men. The audience, of course,
comprised the elite of the court, army,
navy and state officers, and also the
whole diplomatic corps, nearly all ac-
companied by ladies. The scene was
one of unusual brilliancy, and the dis
| play of respondent spring toilettes by
the ladies was remarkable. But it
was outshone by the glitter of the jew
elled decorations on the breasts of the
men and by the array of uniforms,
comprising almost every kind worn
throughout the world.
! Everything during the last few days
was driven into the background by
the court festivities. However, there
were number of interesting things
outside that need comment Emperor
-
the president of Brazil is here inter-
| preted as being intended as a definite
answer to the insinuations imputing
Germany with designs of Southern Bra
| zil.
| The National Zeitung says:
There is no need to be reminded of
| the Monroe doctrine. Never were such
aims seriously entertained in political
| circles in Germany and such annexa-
| ton schemes seem likewise impossible
| in the future. In Germany it will be
| highly appreciated If German settle
ments in the United States and Brazil
preserve their language and affection
for the fatherland. Acquired United
| States or Brazilian citizenship by our
| former countrymen will, however,
| never be interfered with on Germany s
part In this sense the emperor's ut
| terances of sympathy is symtomatic
| enguste."
The United States Ambassador, An
drew D. White, conferred several times
this week with the minister of foreign
affairs, Count Won Buelow, on the sub
| ject Of German-American imports and
exports. Mr.. White especially dwelt
on the fact that besides the large in
crease lately of Germans exports to
the United States, Germany had all
along been the sole government to
profit by the transportation both ways,
thus largely building up German ship
| ping, notably that of Bremen and Ham
burg.
