Now you come In the springtime of life, and by the side of your beloved husband, who Is of Ger man stock. These halls welcome the great-granddaughter of Louisa Henrietta, the rose of the house of Orange. How, then, can the Queen of the Netherlands be welcomed otherwise than as a member of our house and In view of the intimate, Teiauons wnicn nave existed ior centuries between my ancestors and yours?" The Emperor then proceeded to dilate upon how much the hojse of Hohenzol lern was Indebted to the house of Orange. -He said: "My thought today centers In the wish that our great God may preserve and protect Tour Majesty's life and that of your Illustrious consort for the welfare of Orange and of Holland and all that that signifies.

NEW TORE, May 3a A dispatch to the World from Wantage; England, says: Though the utmost secrecy is1 maintain ed. It has been learned here that Richard Croker has completed all his arrange ments to return to New Tork at an early .date. It seems highly probable that he will sail on the steamship Deutsch land next Friday. He left Wantage for iLondon Tuesday afternoon, and returned tonight. His departure Friday evidently depends upon whether or not he receives from New Tork such Information as will permit him. to stay over to see the Derby June 5.

Comment on the Kaiser's Toast. BERLIN. May 30 There is much di versity In the comments of the press on Emperor William's toast at the luncheon which followed the annual review of the brigade of guards yesterday. The Kreuz Zeitung points out that, judging from the Czar's dispatch, no personal misunder standing has arisen between the two Em perors as a result of the China business. The Berliner Tageblatt sees Importance in "the evident wish of the Czar to do jus tice to Count Von Waldersee and the Kaiser's wish to do justice to the French." It contrasts Emperor William's utterances with the recent chauvinist ad dress at Troyes of the French Minister of War, General. Andre. The Vosslsche Zeitung, on the other hand, observes: "All these things are but empty civilities which would not change the really pre carious relations." OLD SCORES FORGOTTEN.

Repeatedly the JDmperor emphasized his gladness because the Germans and French fought shoulder to shoulder recently, not only In China, "but In West Africa, thus learning mutu ally to esteem one. another." The Emperor said to General Bonnal yesterday: "When you return to France tell your countrymen that here nothing Is felt but eympathy and respect for France." Regarding the German Army, General Bonnal said: ' "Neither the German nor the French Army Is the same as in ISTtf There have been great Improvements in both. Tet both might learn much from the other." Emperor Williams will confer upon Gen eral Bonnal a high decoration.

UOKDON, May 30 Commenting edi-. Aorially this morning on the agitation in ; xermany ana .Austria ior a combination ; against American commercial competition. tne .rimes says: "The sole hope for Pan-Europe, accord ing to these writers, is to Imitate Na poleon and introduce the Continental sjs em against the United States. It must "be owned that the precedent is rather disheartening. If the Continental system Sailed in Napoleon's iron grasp. It would liardly succeed In the hands of our old friend, the concert of Europe. With the markets of Great Britain and her colonies remaining open, the suggested -wealth "bojeott against America does not wear a hopeful aspect. The, scheme is preposterous and impracticable on the face of It. but the editorial articles which propose it deserve attention as a re ela tion of the acute, continued jealousy and fear of American greatness and prosperity which prevail in certain quarters of the Continent."

BERLIN, May 30 The Reichstag elec tion at Greifswald, Prussia, has ended in the defeat of the Conseratlve candidate, Herr Coutbehr, and a victory for the Rad-Jcal-Liberal candidate, Herr Gothein.

Nevertheless, the Jeutsche Tages Zeitung, In a strong editorial, asks the Prussian Government to give aid to the suffering agriculturists.

The" Times, referring editorially this morning to the decision of the United States Supreme Court in the Insular cases, says: - "It would-be foolish to expect a decision on the merits of a controversy as to-which lawyers in the United States are divided." The Times considers, however, that a contrary decision would have been at this time a serious anachronism. "The court yields," continues the Times, "to the law of development, to which all Institutions are amenable. The cause of the anti-expansionists was lost long ago, some would saj In the far-off times, when Massachusetts protested against the ad mission of Louisiana as unconstitutional. Literally applied today, the doctrine that the Constitution follows the flag would be.fatal to expansion along the lines which tne people or tne united urates, have marked out for themselves. They mean to be free to .do as other countries haVTe done In like circumstances. "Jefferson declared that the Federal Judges were a 'corps of sappers and miners steadily undermining the Consti tution.' What he thought destruction was development.

I desire to an nounce my candidacy In opposition to the senior Senator for the long term, ahd I will discuss with him in a fair and Repu table manner the National Issues of the day and leave it to you to Judge who can most honestly and honorably represent you in" the United States Senate. i 1S37 I was elected to the Senate as a Demo crat, and I am still a Democrat." Senator McLaurln- says that his. recent Greenville speech gave the people. .his rea son for his official actions slnca 1SS9. but that the address of Senator Tillman makes It necessary for him to say he la. a Demo crat, and continues: "The senior Senator charges thai I am a Republican, and was organizing a Re publican party here. If he believes this charge, why did he consent to run. with, me in a Democratic primary? X denounce the charge as an Infamous falsehood, and the senior Senator-knows what he says Is untrue. He charges that the dispensing of the. public patronage has been placed at my disposal, and that unlimited money la furnished me by 'Republican to aid In the scheme of a new Rarty. I denounce this as a malicious falsehood. "The people shall Judge of our Democ racy, and not the senior -.Senator.. The senior Senator Is addicted to making reck less and false charges against others which he never substantiates An honest man Is always chary in charging others with dishonesty, and the thief often cries 'stop, thief.' He Is an ambitious boss and habitual disturber of the political peace and harmony of South Carolina." Senator McLaurln closes ai follows: "Fellow-citizens, there will not be any thing like unity or quiet among, our peo ple until he Is relegated tp private life. His Incendiary appeals to class hatred and prejudice, such aa he made at Gaff ney to factory operatives, and his dicta torial spirit and utterances, will keep up dissensions and discord.

With the aid of the people I will make a heroic effort to break down bosslsm. with its train, of political evils, anfl I Invite all good citizens to assist me to Inaugu rate an era of free thought, free speech and independence of action In South Caro lina.
