Berlin, Aug. 3O.-The entry of King Vic
tor Emmanuel into this city and his drive
through the Inter den Linden was adj
vanced purposely half an hour from the
published time as a precaution against
any possible disorder. Consequently the
great crowds were packed into places an
hour before the police at Brandenberg
gate were astonished by the arrival at
brisk trot of a gorgeous cavalcade sur
rounding a six horse carriage, in which
sat Emperor William and a small man in
dark uniform, pulling at blonde mus
tache.
The carriage stopped and the crowds
ceased cheering in order to see what
would happen. The chief burgomaster,
Her kirschner, advanced and read an
address of welcome from a parchment
scroll. Behind the burgomaster stood,
bareheaded, representatives of the city
in evening dress. The Italian king then
turned to the German emperor and asked
him If he should reply. The emperor
shook his head negatively and the king
ner and thanked him. A deputation of
young ladies advanced on the other side
of the carriage and gave the Italian king
a bunch of roses. He smiled. bowed and
buried his face in the blossoms and the
cavalcade and carriage swept through the
gate and down Inter den Linden to the
castle, three quarters of a mile away.
