The Berlin press, commenting today on
Emperor William's and Emperor Francla
Joseph's toasts last evening, are unani
mous in declaring that their utterances
made evident the Intact and strong char
acter of the drelbund before the world.
The Tagchlatt, besldea. points out that
the peculiar nature of the celebrations,
commemorating the crown prince's coming
of age. has never before been equaled
anywhere, as It Is really a fete of crown
princes and heirs to thrones, all of whom
Imve come to pay tribute to the heir to
the throne of the German empire
This paper also argues that thle dem

convinced that the German empire really
means peace.
Attend the Opera.
From the Casino the emperors drove to
the opera to wltnesa the gala performance
of Auber"s "Bronze Horse."
The interior and exterior of the opera
house were prettily decorated with silk
and velvet draperies, showing the colors
of Austro-Hungary, evergreens and fresh
roses, the German colors often Inter
twined with them. The German emperor
had taken special pains to make the per
formance Itself enjoyable. Some special
new scenery had been painted, fine cos
tumes were provided and during the re
hearsals weeks ago his mslesty Indicated
personally the Improvements he desired.
The ballet which was Interspersed through
the performance was llkewiae fine. Em

watches or diamond pins for the men. The
audience, of coureei comprised the elite of
the court, army, nsvy and state officers,
and also the whole dlplomatla corps, near
ly all accompanied by ladles. The scene
was one of unusual brilliancy, and the dis
play of resplendent spring toilettes by the
ladles was remarkable. But It was out
shone by the glitter of tho Jeweled dec
orations on the breasts of the men, and
by the array of uniforms, comprising al
most every kind worn throughout the

A volume of agonizing scenes and In

The bodies were taken to the cemetery

the gate and checked from a long list
the names of the bodies in the caskets
that were taken In. The graves were all
kept open until after the services had
been performed over them, and the ac

begin until after 4 o'clock.

well's brigade, with Wavel on his left, all
under command of Lieut. Gen. Tucker.
Gen. Pole-Carew's division formed the
center advance, composed of Jones and
Stevenson's brigades, while Hutton's
mounted infantry, made up mainly of
Canadians, Australians and New Zealand
ers, made a wide detour and arrived at
the east of the town.
The nighX before the occupation of
Brandfort the British seized two small
kopjes, commanding a deep and ugly
spruit, which, it was known, the Boers

dally occupied. Gen. Pole-Carew ordered
two battalions of guards to move silently
after nightfall and occupy the kopjes,
which was done without opposition. This
greatly facilitated the advance, as the
Boers relinquished the spruit, allowing
the passage of the whole force unopposed.
About three hours after the advance
commenced, heavy artillery firing was
heard to the right. Maxwell, finding that
the Boers had two guns posted In a good
position, engaged them with his artil
lery at a 1.500-yard range. Both sides
flred furiously, but the Boers' guns were
soon completely silenced.
The gun Are was heard to the left,
where (ien. Hut ton had come In touch
with the Boers, who were holding a strong
position. Owing, however, to the unex
pected arrival of the British, the Boers
left several small kopjes unoccupied, and.
seizing theso. Gen. Mutton opened (Ire
with his battery, sending Cot. Anderson
to outflank the Boers on the left.
The Boers, unable to withstand the
shrapnel, evacuated their kopjes, stream
ing across the plain towards a small
kopje Immediately above, commanding
the town.
As they retreated the battery placed
several shells with great accuracy In
their midst, and they immediately re
treated from their second position, a
move that was perceived by Hutton. who
sent a portion of his troops In pursuit.
Remington seised the kopje abandoned
by the Boers. Thereupon the Boers re
tired, having the town at the mercy of
Ihe British In the meantime. Col. An
derson. trying to outflank, found The
lloer's position. Tils galloping Maxim
received a heavy pompon fire and was
obliged to retire
On the other side Maxwell forced the
Boers' position.
By 2 o'clock the whole force was seen
four miles oft. trekking north Several
prisoners were taken. Including a com
mandant who bad returned In order to
destroy the telegraph Instruments.
The townspeople declare that the Irish-
Am' riran contingent with the Boers he

PARIS, May s.—Foreign visitors to
Paris this week find the dead walls cov
ered with huge colored posters setting
forth -the electoral manifestos of the can
didates at the municipal elections which
are to be held tomorrow (Sunday)
throughout France.
The results are awaited with particular
interest owing to the announced intention
of the Nationalists to utilise the election
as a field of battle to test the feeling of
the country on the government's policy,
especially in domestic matters. This In
troduction of general political into mu
nicipal elections by the Nationalists is
a breach of the truce tacitly entered into
between the various parties during the
period of the exposition. The recent ac
cidents at the exposition have served
them as a weapon of attn<* upon the
ministry, and this explains their incessant
attempts to cast responsibility upon M.
Millerand.
This campaign is intended largely for
the electorate of Paris, on which the
Nationalists will make their most deter
mined assault. They have eighty can
didates and their success or failure con
stitutes a barometer showing the state
of the political atmosphere. At the pres
ent moment, however, that Is no sign of
serious political effervescence or grave
discontent with the government.
An Innovation has been introduced in
the French artillery service by the de
cision to furnish the guns with a amokv
shell. Hitherto the cannon had been pro •
vided with melinite and shrapnel shells
only. This new shell Is intended to be
launched at an opponent's artillery,
which, on bursting, it will "envelop in a
dense cloud of smnke, thus hampering
the return tire. The new shell Is the
outcome of the Introduction of smoke
less powder. Formerly, with the old pow
der, the result now aimed at was brought
about by the guns themselves the firing
of which produced a smoke which blind
ed their own gunners. Experiments show
that this invention creates a sort of veil
before the enemy's artillery. Ttoth the
army and the navy will be supplied wilh
those shells.
The date of inauguration of the Amer
ican national pavilion In the exposition
Is now definitely fixed for next Saturday,
The internal arrangement of the pavil
ion differs from that of other national
pavilions, which are generally devoted
to a display of additional exhibits, or to
some artistic exhibits characteristic of
their respective countries. •
The American building, on the con
trary, will be given up to administrative
and reception purposes, the Idea being
to have a sort of club where Americans
may fraternize and secure Information.
