Subject: "Festivity.'
Tett : " Comr, for all I'un-js (ire nvo

It was one of the most exfitin? timflS in
English history whon Qur-n 'Elbahth visit el
Lonl Leicester at Keni!vro'rth (;!istlA. The
raorneiit of her arrival Was eonsMere.-l soim

t hat one moment as boin the moat siKnifl
enrit of all. She was (?rerf(itothe pate with
lloatint; islands anrl torches, and the thunder
of eannon. and finworks that set the nisrht
ahlaze, and a great lurst of musie that lifted
the whole a-rie into perfect nehantment.
Then she was intro.Iu .-e,'. in a dining hall tho

tie enter... lnseM cuht iiu. o;i :n lay. Lord
Leierstor made that yrcat supper in Kenil
worth Castle.
Cardinal Wolsey entertained the French
omhaesadors at Hampton Court. The best
conks in all th land prepared fir the b; n
qaet. Purveyors went out and traveled ail
tho kingdom over to find spoils for the table.
Th- time ojimr. The puests were kept dur
intf the day linntiiit? in the Kind's park so)
that their appetites mijjlit be keen, and then
in the evening, to the sound of the trumpet
rr-t, thoy were intro luet 1 into a hall huu.sf
with silk an I eloth of pol I, and there Were
taMe a-litfer with imperial plate and laden
with the rarest of meats and ablush with the
ostliest wines, and when the second course
of the feast came it was found that the arti'
t ies of food had been fashioned into the
shape of men, birds and beast3. and groups
lutK-in-r, and joui-tint parties ridinj? against
each other with lan -cs. Lords and prineea
and embassadors, out of eujis fllle 1 to the
brim, drank the health llrst of the Kintr of
LnKland an 1 next of the K!n of France.
Cardinal Wolsey prepared that great supper
in Hampton Court.
lint I have to tell you of a grander enter
tainment. My Lord, the King is the ban
queter. Angels are the cupbearers. All the
re !eemd are the guests. The hallsof eternal
love, frescoed with liuht and paved with joy
mid curtained with unfading beauty, are tho
baiifpieting place. The harmonica of eter
nity are the music. The chalices of heaven
are the plates, and I am one of the servants
coining out with both hands tilled with invi
tations, scattering them everywhere, and,
oh. that for yourselves you might break the
val of tho invitation and read the words
written iu red ink of bloo l by the tremulous
baud of a dying Christ, "Como now, for all
things are ready."'
There have been grand entertainments
where was a taking off the wine gave out,
or the servants were rebellious, or the light
lailed. J!ut I bavo gone all around about
I hid subject and looked at tho redemption
which Christ has provided, and I come here
to tell ou it is complete, and I swing open
the door of the feast, telling you that ''all
things are now ready."
In the llrst place, 1 have to announce that
the Lord Jesus Christ Himself is ready. Car
din f, Wolsey came into the feast after tho
lirst course. He came in booted and spurred,
and the guesis arose aad cheered him. But
Christ comes in at the very beginning of the
feast aye, lie has beeu waiting 18'Ji years
for His guests. He has been standing on His
mangled feet. IP? has had His sore hand on
His punctured side, or lie has been pressing
His lacerated temples -waiting, waiting. It
is wonderful that He has not been impatient
and that He lias not said. '-Shut the door
and let the laggard stay out," but He has
been waiting.
No bancpn-ter ever waited for his guests so
patiently as Christ has waited for us. To
prove how willing He is to receive us. I
gather all the tears that rolled down His
clicks in sympathy for your sorrows; I
gather all the drops of blob i that channeled
His brow, and His back, and His hands and
feet, in trying to purchase your redemption ;
I gal her all the p roans that He uttered in
midnight chill, an J. in mountain hunger, and
in desert lonelin 'ss. and twist them into one
cry bitter, agonizing, overwhelming.
I gather all the pains that shot from spear
and spike and cross, iolting into one nauir
remorseless, grinding, excruciating. 1 take
that one drop of swear ou If is brow, and un
der tiie gospel glass that drop enlarges until
1 see in it Lakes of sorrow and an ocean of
agony. That bejng standing before you now,
emaciated and gashed and gory, coaxes for
your love with a pathos iu wiiieh every word
is a heart break and every sentence a mar
tyrJom. How can you think He trifles?
Ahasuerus prepared a feast for 180 days,
but this feast is for ail eternity. Lords and
princes were invited to that. You and I and
all our world are invilod to this. Christ is
ready. You know that the banqueters of
olden time used to wrap themselves in robes
prepared for the occasion, so my Lord Jesus
hath wrapped Himself in all that is beautiful,
.See how lair He is ! His eye, His brow. His
cheek, so radiant that tho stars have no
brilliancy compared with it. His face reflect
ing all tho joys of the redeemed. His hand
having the omnipotent surgery with which
He opened blind eye? and straightened
t rooked limbs, and hoisted the pillars of
heaven and swung tho twelve gates, which
are the twelve pearls.
There are not enough cups in heaven to
dip up this ocean of beauty. There are not
ladders enough to scale this height of love.
There are not enough cymbals to clap, or
harps to thrum, or trumpets to peal forth
the praises of this one altogether fair. Oh.
thou flower of eternity, thy breath is the
lifffnme of hc-wen 1 Oh, blissnil daybreak,
let all people clap tbeir hands in thy radi
ance! Chorus: Come. iu;jn and saints an!
cherubim and seraphim and archangel all
heights, all depths, all immensities. Chorus :
Hop, Him through the heavens in a chariot of
universal acclaim, over bridges of hosauuas,
under arches of coronation, along by the
great towers chiming with eternal jubilee.
Chorus : '-Unto Him who hath loved us and
washed us from our sins inllisown blood, to
Him be glory, world without end?"
have a word of five letters, but no sheet
white enough on which to write it and no
pen good enough with which to inscribe it.
(live mo the fairest leaf from tho heavenly
records give mo tho pencil with which tho
angel records his victory and then, with my
band strung to supernatural ecstasy and my
pen dipped in tho light of the morning, I
will write it out in capitals of love,
'"J-E-S-U-S." It is this one, inlinitely fair,
to whom you are invited. Christ is waiting
for you, waiting as a banqueter waits for
the delayed guest the meats smoking, tho
beakers brimming, tho minstrels" with
lingers on thestin! string, waiting for tho
clash of the hoofs at the gateway.
Waiting for you as a mother waits for her
son who went oh ten years ago, dragging
her bleeding heart along with him. Waiting!
Oh, give me a comparison intense enough,
hot enough, importunate enough to express
my meaning something high as heaven and
deep as hell and long as eternity ! Not hop
ing that you can help me with such a com
parison. I will say, "'Ho is waiting us only
the all sympathetic Christ can wait for the
coming back of a lost soul."
Jiow the knee and kiss the Son,
Come and welcome, sinner, come.
Again, the noly Spirit is ready. Why is it
that so many sermons drop dead that Chris
tian songs io not get their wing itnder tho
people that so often prayer goes no higher
than a hunter's "hollo?" It is oecausethero
is a link wanting the work of the Holy
Spirit. Unless that spirit give grappling
hooks to a sermon and lift the prayer and
waft the song, everything is a dead failure.
That spirit is willing to come at our call and
lead you to eternal life, or ready to come
with the same power with which he unhorsed"
Saul on the Damascus turnpike, and broke
down Lydia in her line store, and lifted th
S000 from midnisrht into midnoon at the
Pentecost. With that power tho spirit of
God now leats at the gate of jour souK
Have you not noiiced what homelv and in
sigu'.licant instrumentality the spirit o' Go I
cmoloys for man's conversion?
There was a man on a Hudson Rlvpr bort
to whom a tract was offered. With indigna
tion he tore it up and threw it overboard.
But one fragment lodged on his coat sleeve,
and he saw on it the word "eternity," and
he found no peace until he was prepared for
that great future. Do you know what pas
sage it was that caused Martin Lutherto see
the truth' "The just shall live by faith."
Do you know there is one just one pas
sage that brought Augustine from a life oX
dissipation? "Put ye on tho Lor.1 Jesus
Cnrist and make no provision for the flesh
to f ii 1 ft 11 the lusts thereof." It was just one
passage that converted Hedley Vicars, the
great soldier, to Christ. "The blood of Jesus
Christ cleanseth from all sin."
Do you know that the Holy Spirit used
one passage of Scripture to save Jonathan
iMwards? "Now, unto the King, eternal,
immortal, invisible, the only wise God, out
Saviour, be glory." One yeaf ago On
Thanksgiving Day I read for my text. "Oh,
1 give thanks Unto the Lord, for He is trood,
! r . t: ..w. 4 ..1. t ,. ' 1 . A U
I'jr ills lilrry eu'iurciii lurrvei. lci iiat.ic
is a voung man in the house to whose heart
the Ho'.y Spirit took that text for his eternal
redemption. I might speak of rny own case. I
will tell you I was brought to the peace of the
gospel through the Syro-Phoenlcian woman's
cry to Christ, "Even the dogs eat of the
crumbs that fall from tho Master's table."
Do you know that the holy spirit idmost
always uses insignificant means? Eloquent
sermons nevr save anybody. Philosophical
sermons never save anybody. Metaphysical
sermons never save anybody. But the
minister comes some Sabbath to his pulpit
worn out with engagements and the jang
ling of a frenzied doorbell. 1I a.- t-iy a
text ami two or three iueas, bus he says:
'O Lord, help me. Here aro a good many,
people I may never meet again. I have not
much to say. Speak Thou through my poor
lips." Ami before the service is done there
are tearful eyes and a solemnity like the
judgment.
The great French orator, when the dea I
King lay before him. lookelup and cried,
'God only is great and the triumph of
his eloquence has been toid by the his
torians. But I have not heard that one soul
was saved by the oratorical flourish. Worldly
critics may think that the early preaching
of Thomas Chalmers Was a masterpiece.
But Thomas Chalmers says he never began
to preach until he came out of the sickroom,
white and emaciated, and told men the
wmplo story of Jesus. In the great day or
eternity it will be found that tho most souls
have been brought to Christ not by the
Bossuets and Massillons and Bourdaloues.
but by humble men, whoin the strength of
God and believing in the eternal spirit, in
vited men to Jesus.
There were wise salves, there were excel
lent ointments, I suppose, in the time of
Christ for blind and inflamed eyes. But
Jesus turned His back upon them and put the
tip of His finger to His tongue, and with the
spittle that adhered to the flngar He anoint
ed tho eyes of the blind mau, anl dayligat
poured into his blinded soul. So it is now
that the spirit of Go 1 takes that humble
prayer meeting talk, which seems to be the
very saliva of Christian influence, and anoints
the eyes of the blind and pours the sunlight
of pardon aud paace upon the soul.
Oh, my friend, I wish we could feel it mere
and more that if any good is done it is by the
power of God s omnipotent spirit. I do not
know what hymn may bring you to Jcpus. I do
not know'what words of the Scripture lesson I
rea l may save your soul. Ferhaps the spirit
of God may hurl the very text into your
heart, "Come, for all things are now ready."
Again, the church is ready. O man, it I
could take tho curtain off these Christian
hearts, I could show you a great many anxie
ties for your redemption. Y'ou think that
old man is asleep because his head is down
and his eyes aro shut. No ; he is praying for
your redemption and hoping that the words
spoken may strike your heart. Do you know
the air is full of prayer? Do you know that
prayer is going up from Fulton street prayer
meeting and from Friday evening prayet
meeting, and going up every hour of trie day
for the redemption of tho people? Aud if
you should just start toward the door of the
Christian church, how quickly it would fly
open ! Hundreds of people would say : "Give
that man room at the sacrament. Bring the
silver bowl for his baptism. Givo him the
right hand of Christian fellowship. Bring
him into all Christian associations."
Oh; you wanderer on the cold mountains,
come into tho warm sheepfokl. I let down
the bars and bid you come in. With the
shepherd's crook I point you the way. Hun
dreds of Christian hands beckon you into
the church of God. A great many people do
not like the church, aud say it is a great
mass of hypocrites, but it is a glorious
church with all its imperfections. Christ
bought it, and hoisted the pillars, and swung
its gates, and lifted its arches, and cur
tained it with upholstery crimson with cru
cifixion carnage. Come into it.
We are a garden walled around,
Cnoseu aud made t eouliar ground,
A little sp t Inclosed by grace
out of the world's wild wilderness.
Again, the angels of God are ready. A
great many Christians think that the talk
about angels is fanciful. You say it is a very
good subject for theological students who
have just begun to sermonize, but for elder
men it is improper. There is no more proof
in that Bible that there is a God than there
are angels. Why, do not they swarm about
Jacob's ladder? Are we not told that they
conducted Lazarus upward : that they stand
before the throne, their faces covered up
with their wings, while they cry, "Holy,
holy is the Lord God Almighty?" Did not
David see thousands aud thousands? Did
not one angel slay 185,000 men in Senna
cherib's army? And shall they not be the
chief harvesters at the judgment?
There is a line of loving, holy, mighty
angels reaching to heaven. I suppose they
reach from here to the very gate, and when
an audienco is assembled for Christian wor
ship the air is full of them. If each one of
you has a guardian angel, how many celes
tials there aro here ! They crowd the place,
they hover, they flit about, they rejoice.
Look, that spirit is just come from the
throne ! A moment ago it stood before Christ
and heard the doxology of the glorified.
Look! Bright, immortal, what news fro-n
the golden city! Speak, spirit blest! Tho
response comes melting on the air, "Come,
for all things are now ready !"
Angels ready to bear tho tidings, angels
ready to drop the benediction, angels ready
to kindle the joy. They have stood ia glory
they know all about it. They have felt the
joy that is felt where there are no tears and
no graves ; immortal health, but no invalid
ism ; songs, but no groans ; wedding bells,
but no funeral torches ; eyes that never weep,
hands that never blister, heads that never
faint, hearts that never break, friendships
that are never weakened,
Iteady, all of them ! Iieady, thrones, prin
cipalities and powers ! Ready, seraphim and
cherubim ! Ready, Michael the Archangel !
Again, your kindred in glory are all ready
for your coming. I pronounce modern
spiritualism a fraud and a sham. If John
Milton and George Whitefield have no better
business than to crawl under a table and rat
tle the leaves, thev had better stay at home
in glory. While I believe that modern spir
itualism is bad because of its mental and
domestic ravages, common sense, enlight
ened by the word of God, teaches us that
our friends in glory sympathize with our re
demption. Tho Bible says plainly there is joy in
heaven among the angels of God over one
sinner that repenteth, and if angels rejoice
and know of it shall not our friends stand
ing among them know it? Some of these
spirits in glory toiled for your redemption.
When they came to die, their chief grief was
that you were not a Christian. They said,
"Meet me iu heaven," aud put their hands
out from the cover and said, "Goodby,"
Now, suppose you should cross over from
a sinful life to a holy life. Suppose you
should be bora into the kingdom. Suppose
you should now say : "Farewell, O deceitful
world! Get thee gone, mv sin! Fie upon
all the follies ! O Christ, help me or I per
ish ! I take my promise. I believe Thy word.
1 enter Thy service."
Suppose you should say and do this? Why,
me angel sent to you would shout upward,
'He is coming!" and the angel poising
higher in the air would shout it upward,
"He is coming !" ffnd it would run all up the
line of light from wing to wing and from
trumpet to trumpet until it reached the gate,
and then it would flash f o "the house of
many mansions.1' and it would find out your
kindred there, and before jour tears of re
petenance had been wiped from the cheek
and before you had finished your first prayer
your kindred in glory would know of it.
and another heaven would be added to their
?oy. and they would cry "My prayers are
answered , another love.l one saved. Give
me a harp with which to strike the joy.
Saved! Saved! Saved'"
If I have shown you that "all things are
ready," that Christ is ready, that the Holy
Spirit ia ready, that the church is ready,
that the angels in glory are ready, that your
glorified hundred are ready, then
with all the concentrated emphasis of mv
soul I ask you if you are ready? You see my
subject throws the whole responsibilitv upon
yourself. If you do not get into the 'F'Pff'?
banquet it Is because you do not accept the
Invitation. Y'ou have the most importunate
invitation. Two arms stretchel down from
the cross soaked in blool from elbow to
finger tip, two lips quivering in mortal an
guish, two eyes beaming with infinite love.
Baying. "Come, come, for ail things are now
ready."
I told you that when the Queen came to
Kenil worth Castle they stopped all the clocks,
that the finger qf time might be pointed to
that happy moment of her arrival. Oh. if
the King would come to the castle of your
soul, you might well afford to stop all the
clocks, that the hands might forever point to
this moment as the one most bright, most
blessed, most tremenious. Now, I wish I
could go arouad from circle to circle and in
vito every one of you, according to the invi
tation of my text, saying, "Come !"
I would like to take every one of you by the
hand and say. "Come !" Old man, who has
been wandering sixty or seventy years, thy
sun has almost gone down. Through tho
dust of the evening stretch out your withered
hand to Christ. He will not cast thee off,
old man. Oh, that one tear of repentance
might trickle down thy wrinkled cheek ! Af
ter Christ has fed thee all thy life long, do
yo s, not think yon can afford to speak on
word in His praise?
Come, those of you who are farthest away
from God. Drunkard, Christ can put out
the Are of thy thirst. He can break that
shackle. He can restore thy blasted home.
Go to Jeeus, libertine! Christ saw the
whero thou wert last night. Ho knows of
thy sin. Yet if thou wilt bring thy polluted
soul to Him this moment He will throw over
it the mantle of His pardon and love. Mercy
for thee, oh. thou chief of sinners! Harlot,
tby feet foul witb hell and thy laughter the
horror of the street ! Oh, Mary Magdalene,
look to Jesws ! Mercy for thee, poor lost
waif of the street! Self-righteous man, thou
must be born ajrain, or thou canst not see
the kingdom of God !
Do you think you can get into the feast
with those rags? Why, the King's servant
would tear them off and leave you naked at
the gate. Y'ou must be born again. The
day is far spent. The cliffs begin to slide
their long shadows across the plain. Do you
know the feast has already begun the feast
to which vou Were invited and the King
sits with His hand on the door of the ban
queting room, and He begins to swing ii
fut? It 13 half way shut. It is three
fourths Bhut. It ia only just ajar. Soon it
will be shut.
"Come, for all things are now ready.''
Have I missed one man? Who has not felt
himself called this hour? Then I call him
now. This is the hour of thy redemption.
While God Invites, how blest the day;
How sweet the gospel's charming sound 1
Come, sinner, haste, oh, haste away,
While yet a pardoning God is found.
BOYCOTTING A J All,,
Tramps Insist on Better Food or They'll
Hiiin the Sheriff's llusiiicss.
An unusual strike has occurred
here, says a Mount Holly correspond
ent of the Jsew York Herald. It was
not among the members of any labor
organization as is often the case
but was conilned to the tramps who
are locked up in the county jail, and
who boldly threatened to boycott the
Institution unless the sheriff supplied
them with better food.
The spokesman, a thick-set tnwp,
known among his companions as
"The Tank," out of compliment to
his abdominal development, w;is plain
and outspoken in his demands to one
of the keepers.
"See here," he said, "what's on the
card for dinner to-day?"
"Bean soup and bread," was the
reply.
"It won't do," was the reply. "This
bean business is tettin' played out.
What wc want is more meat and
wegetables, and we're goin' to have
'em or know the reason why. Wo
can't keep up our strength on no such
grub as we've been bavin' see!"
You fellows are gettin' too gay,"
said the keeper with a sneer. "Xexf;
thing you'll bo wantin' ox-tail soup
and sweetbreads. We're givin' you
g'jod grub good enough for anybody
and j'ou'll either eat it or live on
your shape."
"Hold on the e!" interrupted an
other tramp with a red nose and a
bad list to port, "we've got something
to say 'bout that. We've got the lay
of the land pretty well in this county,
and we know the sheriff's oftice
wouldn't be wuth a half interest in a
yaller dog if it wasn't for the profit
out of feeding us tramps. Everybody
knows that. Now I'll come down to
business. Ef you don't feed us up
high we'll boycott the jail, and every
man on the road'll fight as shy of
the place as if it was full of small
pox. Now I've harl my say, and ef
the goose don't hang high after this
you'll hear from us."
This threat took all the fierceness
out of the keeper, who promised to
see what he could do in the line of a

Opium Selling Is Profitable.
Whatever opinions may be held re
specting the effects of consuming
opium, there seems to be no doubt
that selliug it is a profitable business.
Mr. John MacGregor, the senior part
ner of Messrs. Jardine, Matheson &
Co., the China merchant princes, died
recently, and in recording the fact
the Scottish Leader says:
"Years ago the house was among
the largest importers of opium into
China, and so enormous were the
profits that three of the partners, by
sheer force of wealth, expanded irjto
baronets, while a fourth, the late Mr.
James Jardine. of Dryfeholm. be
came one of the largest landowners
in the south of Scotland. Sir James
Matheson and his brother, Sir Alex
ander Matheson, spent upward of a
million in buying land in the High
lands, and tfie latter left besides over
640,000.' Mr. Magniac, the ex-M.
P., who left 200,000, was also a
member of this firm. Sir Uobert
Jardine, of Castlemilk, is the old
head of the firm and probably the
wealthiest of them all. Sir Kobert
does not only own Castlemilk, one of
the finest residences and estates in
the south of Scotland, but ten years
ago bought up the Rogersons, of
Wamphray, for 120,000, and later
added the property of Lanrick Castle,
in Perthshire, to his already great
possessions. He could buy up a score
of such places if he so desired."
Pealing in opium is of course only
one branch of the great firm's busi
ness, but it is a most important one,
and a trade, whether right or wrong,
which has such potentialities of profit,
must, like Tennyson's half-truth, be
a hard matter to fight. Westminster.

OVATION TO BISMARCK.
ABECONCHIATION BETWEEN
EMPEROR AND PRINCE.
The 3Ian of Iron's Journey to Berlin
a Royal Progress The Capital'
Remarkable Demonstration of
Welcome The Honors Paid Him
by the Emperor.
FE1"CE BISMARCK.
A cablegram from Berlin, Germany, says:
Tho meeting of Prince Bismarck and the
Emperor William has occurred, and the re
conciliation is complete. Tho Trine? arrived
at the Castle shortly after 1 o'clock, p. m.,
and tho Emperor received him with tho
greatest distinction, surrounded by a brill
iant staff of officers of tho highest rank.
Trince Bismarck, his son, Count Herbert,
and several friends left Fried richsruhe, his
country home, at t.30 o'clock, a. m.. en route
for Berlin.
At 9.10 o'clock six Friedrichsruho ladies,
dressed iu white, proceeded to the Castle and
presented to Prince Bismarck a large laurel
wreath bound with ribbons and bearing the
inscription "A Happy Journey."
When the time arrived for tho start to bo
made for tho station Princo Rismarck ap
peared attired in a cuirassier uniform, over
which ho wore a fur coat. He was accom
panied by Princess Bismarck and several
friends. Six girls led tho way, strewing
flowers.
At 8 o'olock a large crowd from Hamburg
arrived and vociferously cheered the Prince.
At the station Princess Bismarck stood in
front of tho saloon until the departure Of the
train. When the train pulled out of the sta
tion the crowd burst into cheers, which lasted
for some time. Some of those present cried
out "A prosperous journey," while others
bhouted "Auf wiedersehen."
Prince Bismarck was visibly gratified. He
was in excellent spirits. He thanked all
those who had oome to see him-off, and shook
EMTKBOB WILLIAM.
hands with many of tho crowd. Herr
Chrysander, his secretary, and Dr. Schwein
inger traveled with him.
The train arrived punctually at the Lehrte
station. Prince Henry, of Prussia, the Em
peror's brother ; the Governor of Berlin, and
a large suite of officers were awaitng tho
Prince's arrival. When tho train stopped
Princo Henry stepped out from tho group
surrounding him and walked to tho carriage
occupied by the ex-Chancellor. He warmly
shook hands with Prince Bismarck and
Count Herbert.
The party then walked to tho royal state
coach that was in waiting. Prince Bismarck
made Princo Henry walk on the right side
and sit on the right side of the carriage, al
though Prince Henry trioiJ to give Prince
Bismarck the place of honor. Count Herbert
and the Governor of Berlin drove in the sec
ond carriage. Trinco Bismarck's uniform
was the white one of the Halber?;tadl cuiras
siers, with a General's distinctions, lie ap
peared healthy.
Tho loud cheering and salutations from tho
crowds that hail gathered to witness his en
try into the city evidently pleased him very
much. Ho smiled in respons-3 to the con
tinuous cries of welcome aud saluted tho
crowd frequently. Half a squadron of tha
Gardes da Corps rode in front an t nehind
the closed state; coach, but tho large windows
permitted everybody to see inside.
The route was across the Moltko Bridge,
which spans the Spree near the railway sta
tion, through the streets skirting the Thier
garten to the Brandenburg gate, thence
through Unter-den-Linden, past the palace
of Emperor William I., Ihe opera house and
the palace of Empress Frederick to the Em
peror's palace.
The route from the monument of Frederick
the Great to the palaco gates was lined with
members of tho veterans' guilds, firemen,
rifle unions and turners' societies.
Tho houses along the route were decorated
with flags. The entire population of Berlin,
swelled by thousands of persons from all
parts of Germany, had apparently turned
out to welcome the return of tho Prince, and
the 5-ounger element in the crowds cheered
themselves hoarse as the state coach passod
alone-.
When the party arrived at the castle Trince
Bismarck and Princo Henry descended from
the state coach and entered. The Emoeror.
who was standing at tho foot of the stairs to
receive his guest, wore as a special mark of
honor the uniform of the Bismarck cuiras
siers. His reception of the old statesman
was of tho warmest and most cordial nature.
His Majesty embraced the Prince with tho
utmost heartiness, and a kiss pressed on tho
old man's cheek sealed the reconciliation be
tween tho Emperor and the greatest of his
subjects. Prince Bismark's gravity of de
meanor during his reception bv His Majesty
was much commented upon. The ex-Chancellor's
ej-es were moist, but he lot kod very
grave.
The Emperor then shook hands with Count
Herbert Bismarck, and the whole party re
tired to a room, where the King of Saxjny
and a number of the German princes were
awaiting their coming. All saluted Prince
Bismarck as he entered the room.
Tho Italian Ambassador remarked to
another diplomat that to-day's meeting be
tween the Emperor and the Prince was a
historical event of the first magnitude.

ALL ON BOARD LOST.
Wreck of the Port Varrock Oft the
Irish Coast.
Twenty-six lives have been lost by the
wrecking of the British bark Port Yarroek,
Captain Forbes, from Santa Rosalia July 4
'jr Antwerp, which some days ago put into
Brandon Bay, County Kerry, Ireland, in a
disabled condition, and which during a gale
dragged her nuchors and went ashore.
A very heavy sea was running in the bay,
and when the bark struck the surf made a
clean breach over her. It was reported that
the captain and six of the crew were ill. and
thH made the vessel short-handed. Nineteen
men. however, were tit for duty.
Some surprise is expressed among seafar
ing men that apparently no attempt was
made to claw off shore when it was seen that
tho anchors would not hold. At any rate the
vessel was helpless, and took ground on a
sandy bottom over six miles from where she
had been anchored.
Tho bark struck almost broadside on, an I
the surf pounded her with terrifllc violence.
As the tide rose the surf became stronger,
and soon the sea was sweeping over th
decks of the bark. Her hatches were evi
dently battered down nn i the companion
ways closed, for there were no signs of her
filling.
It was impossible, owing to the position of
the stranded vet6d. for any asssstanee ti
reach her, and in a short time she began to
break up. First her three masts went by tha
toard. and the wreckage floating along sld
caused the hull to keel over at a sharp anzle,
thus affording a better mark forthe sea, that
was growing stronger and stronger. Soon
butts and scams on the weather side began to
open, and in a short time the vessel began to
break up.
Rome of those on board the bark attempted
to reach shore by means of planks or spars,
but they were swept off and disappeared m
soon as they left the vessel. Not a person on
the bark was saved.
IN A STUFFED BUFFALO.
The Train Robber Captured on Try
ing to Fire Out of One of Its Kyes.
A traiu robber named John Dalton was
captured by one of tho Northwestern Ex
press messengers near Dead wood, South
Dakota.
Dalton had himself expressed on the inside
of a stuffed buffalo, but this G.-eek game was
spoiled by him removing one of the animal's
glass eyes, through the socket of which he
stuck a six-shooter, covering the messenger.
The latter, however, got out of range, and
leaped upon the back of the stuffed animal.
The back caved in and he dropped on the
robber inside, and sat on him until the next
station was reached, when Dalton was turned
over to the authorities.
The safe contained 50,000. Evidently
Dalton had confederates who were to act at
his signal. They have not yet Uen appre
hended. Foxes are be-jomiig too numerous in Ver
mont. The State pays a bounty of tl for

Early in the morning live insurgent tag
and armed merchant men proceeded I the

at anchor, and hov ered about the-n. a.(. at

There was great activity ile-pl.iye.l ..ii
board the American war hhips. an I soon tho
sharp tones of the boatswain' whittles
could lie heard piping Ihe crews to clear th.v
ships for action.
At 5 o'clock the Detroit hoist e 1 her anchor
and with snotted iruns steamed iu heside tha
insurgent war ships Trajan. i an I I ii.-imibur i.
both of which were lying close t 1 1 1 . I

Good News.

The Detroit then turned one of In" guns
upon the tiuanabara and s-'iit a small tiel
into her stern post . an I was on the t ,,(
delivering a broadside at t he Insurgent t-hip
when the Ouauabara signalled that sh.,
would stop llring.
In the mean time an American riten, (i
M. Rollins, who has acted as the ageni or
Admiral da liaiini in the arlul rat ion negotia
tions, had visited all three of the American
merchant men and offere I to have them
towed at the expense of the insurgents If
they would not go to the piers. This the
Captains of the merchantmen agreed to.
This arrangement was reported to Admiral
da Gama ou board his flagship, the IJber
dade. He then said :
"It is too late. The glass is broken. I
must yield to this foreign fleet of superior
force. I will resign mid give my svrd to
the American Admiral "
Later in t he dav Admiral do (iama called
a council of his oPlecr.s. ex ting that all of
th 'til would seek ail asylum on board the
American fleet, but the younger olm-ers
would not yield. It was said al the council
that Admiral Ron ham had offered Admiral
da (iama and his odb-ers asylum on board of
the American war ships.
What the final result ot the trouble be
tweenthe fleets will be is not known, but
there is one thing that is evident to everv
body, and that is that the American mer
chant vessels are protected m every part of
the bay.
Admiral Reiiham said that Admiral da
Gama, by his failure to surrender, had lo .l
an easy way out of his trouble. lie ad b'd
"However, that is nothing to me. but wu
have established our principle."
A conflict between the American an I in
surgent fleets there was thought still pos
sible. Admiral da Gama was angry I in
the younger insurgent officers were eager
to fight. The Admiral suld to the United
Press correspondent ,-It woul I be better
to be conquered by a f irejgn power thuu to
yield later to I'ejxoto."
The tug and launches promised to the
bark Good News were not furnished. The
insurgent, steamer l'arahyba anchored in n
threatening position near her. and II win
thought she might lire when ahe start-d in.
in that case a serious conflict would be In
evitable. The situation was extremely delicate When
the Detroit was beside'the Good News. The
