 For certain diplomatic reasons, the true inwardness of which is not yet known, the Kaiser desires to allay certain amount of bad feeling which has grown up between this country and his Empire on account of the Manila incident the exclusion of American meats ana Ger many's supposed designs to plant col ony in South America.
 Therefore he requested the President to allow Alice Roosevelt to christen his yacht. which is to be launched next month, and has arranged for his brother to become the guest, for few days, Of this nation He could not have done more wisely than to have sent his broth CT Henry to this country, for that Prince will be popular wherever he is known.

After a time he said he would be glad to present me to his wife, which he did, and l found a charming and attractive woman. Of course 1 had not caught her name either, and after talking with her half an hour I noticed that good many people seemed to be waiting to speak to her, so I took myself off to the smoking apartment to enjoy cigar. When l entered Admiral Knorr greeted me and said:
 " Evans. the Prince says you are a good fellow, and he wants the Emperor to know you
 'I replied: My dear Admiral, haven't -seen the-Prince and don't know him.
 Well he said, you ought to know him. You have been talking shop with him for half an hour, and l don't know what you've been saying to the Princess during your half hours conversation with her.
