tHoch der Kaiseri' That toast
! called by scores of voices at the Office
, of the German consulate yesterday
} noon, and the booming of the guns on
board the vessels of the Pacific feet
were part-and small part-of the
ceremonies by which Honolulu paid her
respects to the birthday of the great
German emperor.
The salute by the ships of the Amer
lean Pacific feet in honor of the birth.
day of Emperor William was deeply
appreciated by Consul w. Pfotenhauer.
and when Rear Admiral Thomas called
to pay his respects, he was overwhelmed
with the thanks of the emperor's repre-
sentative. The German colony, gener-
ally, regarded the salute was one of
the finest birthday gifts which Homo
lulu offered to the emperor.
] Exactly at noon when the flagship
fired the first of her twenty-one guns
the bunting for dressing the ship was
broken out, and Immediately the guns
on the other cruisers began their long
salute. The guns banged indiscrimi-
nately, giving the semblance of battle,
for soon the ships were enveloped in
heavy mantle of powder smoke.

the consulate in the Hackfeld building
were thrown open and Consul Pfoten-
hauer, assisted by DR.. r. Isenberg and

with lima leis. Among the first to
