-welcome,, said:
'Nbt as a friend do we greet Tour Maj
esty today on her second visit to our
house. .For the first time you came in
your childhood. 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. I add at the same time a pledge
that love and friendship toward your
JdoUse "will never cease In the hearts of
my house and my subjects. In this sense
I drink to Tour Majesty's health."

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

The Iondon correspondent of the World
says that the Hamburg-American steam
ship agents, both in London and In South
ampton, decline to state whether Rich

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.

Treatment in Germany.
BERLIN. May 30. To the correspondent
of the Associated Press General Bonnal,
director of the French war school, ex
pressed his delight at the splendid "recep
tion aecorded the French officers by Em
peror William and his army, and the mil-'
Jpary sights witnessed. He said:
"I have been astonished at the perfect
iy frank and soldler-llke manner and'
speech of the Emperor. 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. The
French officer will witness the parades

Aorially this morning on the agitation in ;

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."

A Stormy Sitting:.
"VIENNA, May 30 The government's
canal bill has aroused bitter opposition
and the debate in the Relchsrath, continu
ing early this morning, was marked by
stormy scenes. The Pan-Germans so
fiercely abused Dr. Lueger, who support
ed the bill, that the sitting had to be
suspended, the president being quite un
able to quiet the tumult. Prince von
Schwarzenburg, In opposing the bill, "de
clared that the construction of bills pro
vided an open door for foreign Invasion,
and that it would seriously prejudice agri
culture. Finally the Pan-Germans walked
out of the House, Dr. Lueger denounced
them as "contemptible traitors to the
country."
Victory for a Radical Liberal.
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.
Great importance attaches to the result,
because the election was fought -in a
strongly Agrarian district on the new
tariff lrsues and the question of Agrarian
tolls. Nevertheless, the Jeutsche Tages
Zeitung, In a strong editorial, asks the
Prussian Government to give aid to the
suffering agriculturists. Inasmuch as the
next crop Is certain to be the worst
known for years, to say nothing Tof the
rise in prices In consequence of American
competition.

THE PILOTAGE DECISION.
May Be Extended to the Philippine

NEW YORKMay 30. Commenting upon
the Supreme 'Court's decision in the In
sular test cases, the Washington cor
respondent of the -Tribune says that at
the capital It is thought that the pilotage
decision, which attracted little attention
at tne time, but was handed down with
the insular -decisions last Monday, will be
construed as extending the regulations of
the coastwise trafle to the Philippines as
well as to Porto Rico and Hawaii. By
direction of 'the President and on recom
mepdatlon of the Bureau of Navigation
of. the Treasury Department, the coast
Wise regulations were extended to Porto

INSULAR CASE 'DECISION. '
The United States Means to Be Free
, to Expand.
LONDON, May 30. 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. On this occasion the Judges
have engineered, perhaps unsklllfully, a
road for thVsafa advance of the Republic
Into regions which 'its founders did not
contemplate, but from which it is too late
to retreat."
Declares He Is a. Better Democrat
Than Tillman Drawn Into
the Contest.
CHARLESTON. S. C, May 30. Senator
John L. McLaurln Issued an address to
the people o the state from; his noma
In Bennettsvllle today. He opens by saying-
that the recent address to the peo
ple "by Senator Tillman makes It neces
sary that he should say something in
explanation of his motives and actions.
and,vthat, had It not been for Senator
Tinman s intrusion on the Gaffney meet
ing, there wobld have been no necessitr
for ttn A Joint debate was precipitated
by him, contrary to my wishes and of
the gentlemen who invited ma J' He con
tinues: "It Is too late now to consider whether
It was wise or unwise, and the people
must Judge between us. 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. In the state.
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. The senior Senator, in the quietude
of a farmer's life in Edgefield County
could be viewed as a pltchforkless pigmy
and a blessing- to tfte state.,"
