AWAIT COMING OF THE KING

Brilliant Event.

While Disarmament Proposals May Be
Diseased the Young Monarch Is
Simply Making First Call
Upon His Friend.

BERLIN, Aug. 23.-Giided masts sur
mounted by evergreen crowns are being SET
up along Inter den Linden in preparation
Of the entrance into Berlin Of King Victor
Emmanuel OF italy on Thursday next.
The Inter den Linden midway is being
bordered throughout its length by large
rows OF potted greenery. TIL program for
the kings entertainment, which includes
receptions, state dlnners and a gala per-
formance at the opera, ends on Saturday
With the great fall parade Of troops on the
Tempelhof field.
The object OF King Victor Emmanuel's
visit, as explained at the Italian embassy,
Is that the young king is simply making
his nrst call. since his Accession, upon his
friend, the emperor; that such was the
only purpose OF his visit TO Russia and
that It is quite probable that the king will
visit France next year.
Austria is not likely to be visited by King
Emmanuel for the reason that Emperor
Francis Joseph never returned the late
King Humbert's visit to Vienna, because
be wished to avoid oksnding the vatican by
seeing King Humbert in Rome.
AS King Victor Emmanuel on his visit
to Berlin will be attended by the italian
premier, signor zanardelli. the relations
between Italy and Germany will naturally
be discussed, but anything approaching
negotiations with a definite object, growing
out Of the question of King Victor EN-
manuel's disarmament proposals. are for
the emperor's personal ear and are not
o%fhcial. and the fruitlessness Of making
them IL already we'll understood by the
ministers here.
AS for the rest. the B~erllnsrs are looking
forward to q brilliant show and ofhcialdom

porter last night that about thirty prop
erty owners In the vicinity Of the park had

tempt to raise funds for the purchase Of

II will be remembered that a number OF
years ago. when lots near the park were
being sold, Il was given out that the park
would be open 10 the public, but AFTER
the property had been disposed Of the park
was fenced, Since that time several plans
have been submitted 10 the owners Of the
park. regarding the opening to the public
Of this tract Of land. All OF these have
been declined. and as the city is In no
position to take hold Of the matter at this
time, the property owners in the vicinity
have been trying to devise ways and means
20 secure the grounds.
The plan Is 50 far incomplete, but II
includes the incorporation OF a company BY
a certain number Of people residing near
the park. When this Is done funds win
be raised, so Mr.. Sutton states. 20 pur.
chase the park. After the deal Is eonsum-
mated the park will be used as a private
park by the incorporates.
In order that the citizens Of South Omaha
may have use Of the grounds when de-
sired. II has been suggested that this can
be arranged. providing the municipal au,
thorities win station a policeman on the
grounds at night. This is all. Mr.. sutton
says. that viii be asked Of the authorities.
A meeting is to be held At MT. sutton's

Wherever irrigation is conducted on a
