reach the jetty until three hours after
the appointed time Monday afternoon
The British channel fieet, under the
command Of Admiral Lord Charles
Beresford, and numbering nearly 50
warships, dressed from stem to stern,
saluted the German emperor as the
Hohenzollern passed up the narrow
waters Of Spithead, the land batteries
joining In the welcome.
Owing to the delay cause by the
fog, the hour Of arrival Of the Hohen.
zollern at the jetty was miscalculated.
The announcement had been made
that she would not get there until
2:45 p. M, but she steamed into the
harbor an hour earlier, with the re-
suit that all the ofilcials and the
guards Of honor, who had been patient
ly waiting throughout the morning for
her arrival. had gone to lunch when
she finally appeared through the fog.
The emperor apparently enjoyed the
surprise that had been sprung ON the
British oficials and the consequent
scramble to get back to the jetty in
time to take part in the welcome.
After inspecting the guards Of
honor, the German emperor and en-
press and their suites, accompanied
by the prince Of Wales and his suite
left by train for Windsor amid the flre
Of royal salute from the assembled
warships and the garrison batteries.
The imperial party reached Wind
sor at fve o'clock and were warmly
greeted by King Edward and Queen
Alexandra. The two monarchs and
their wives cordially embraced and
then went to Windsor castle. 3
The half-mile route from the station
to the castle was bright with bunting
and above the castle entrance flew
an immense German imperial flag.
The procession to the castle was
headed by detachment Of the house
hold cavalry, after which came car
riage containing Emperor William,
King Edward, the prince Of Wales and
the duke Of Connought. In the sec
ond carriage were the empress,
Queen Alexandria, the princess of
Wales and Princess Victoria. The

to the exposition, holding out the fact
that this is the first exposition Of this

He confined his remarks chiefly to
general matters, but toward the end
came down to labor principles, and
said:
Il know Of no organization that
makes SO little pretense of patriotism,
but in which true patriotism prevails
to such large extent as in organized
labor. We want peace; we love peace
and are working for peace. and in the
proportion that our working people
are better organized we will secure
peace. There Is q man chosen to boss
