The dinners , banquets aud recuptiom that occur during the week are most ad nan scam , but the kaiser will , as a rule , delegate such matters to the crown prince , not frou illness or weakness , as witness tlio followin ; details of the kaiser's work last Wednesday but because aged men , whoso lives are o great importance to the world , cannot allen to risk over exertion.

Some idea of the nuin- wr of princes , nobles and aides-de-camp and distinction of titles and rank can bo formed from the fact that the state banquet Utho castle on Tuesday will take place In six largo rooms , one room being specially set \part for majors , generals and colonels. The kaiser remains in pxeellunt health and wo ire promised fair weather. The enthusiasm Is greater than ever before , so everything points to a very lemaikablo celebration. DK. JU.NKKIt ON AFJUCA. Among the men whom not oven the Im perial birthday will tempt to remain In Her- lln. Is Dr. Junker , Enrln Pasha's friend. Wednesday night Junker described to an audience of the most learned and scientific men of Uerlln , his adventures in Africa. The story was with a powerful simplicity which greatly affected the hearers , leaving a a vivid Impression of the dangers and priva tions to which Emln Is exposed. Attei the Icctuic the principal learned societies ol Berlin joined to give Junker a great dinner , at which I noticed , chiefly , the great number of well-known men picscnt and the great en thusiasm with which the the emperor's toasts were drank. Africa also received sufllclcnt enthusiasm , to tempt Ulsmarck to faither annexation.

[ CnfyriatitSOT fiy Jamrx Goniou Jlennctt. ' ] ItoMK , March 10. | New York Herald Cable-Special to the UKK. | The Knights of Labor need not bo anxious. Thn Vatican Is more liberal than people imagine. From the very hrst there was no need to tear thch condemnation. An Interview 1 have jusi had with ono of tlio most eminent cardinals In the congregation of the holy inquisition dispels all doubt on the matter. When 1 called on hi * eminence T found him reading a sheet of Cardinal Gibbons' report to the propaganda , lie replied to my questions with unexpected frankness and you mayresl assured that his views are those of a majority of tlio holv office. "America , " said his eminence , "Is a pe culiar country and must be dealt with In E peculiar way. It should bo treated within Unite care. Nothing should bo hurried nothing done to exasperate or offend It. The future of the world , pei haps , Is in America , 1 shall not see It , but tlio twentieth centurj may show I am right The church should wish to see It treated with foiboarlng affcu tlon , nay , I would rather say , with the atTee tlon of a mother. I cannot for a moment admit that such a question as this of tlu Knights of Labor .should be settled olTham or that the decision In ono country shouh decide the case In another. In Canada , when there Is practical religious unanimity , tlu conditions may bo such that the knight : may constitute a danger , but In the Unltei States , the classic land of liberty , things an possibly otherwise. You have , perhaps , seer the wise , clear , sensible report of Cardlna Gibbons , by whom 1 was favored with a vlsl lately. Though I cannot , of course , prcjudgi the course which thn congregation will take It appears to mo it will be very difficult uo to adopt the cardinal's conclusions. ' ' Hero I ventured to Intoraupt hl.s eminence "Yes , " said 1 , "and your eminence's view ; seem to bo those of most of the Itoroan dlgnl tarles with whom I have spoken on the sub Ject. Gibbons' pamphlet practically refute all the arguments of those who profess to re gard the Kulghts of Labor as a secret so ciety.1' . Uls eminence avoided a direct answer ti this blunt rcinari ; . "The cardinals report is very able , " sale he. "Tho church should bo very tolcran and conciliating with democracies. Such at association may , after all , not bo a secrc society In the sense condemned by tin church , but this does not Imply that tin church is hostile to Individuals. " N. 11. Hero 1 understood the cardinal ti refer to capitalists. "Wocannot admit such doctrines as thosi of Henry George , denying thn njcht to owi private property. Ills doctrines are dene against all the teachings of the bible. Cat wo burn our blblo to please George. " Then , returning to the original theme , In continued : "There Is only one straight Urn guiding ns , but wo must distinguish bclweei theory and tttitli. The facts arc truth , bu It may be opportune or Inopportune to de One theories in countries llko America where piotcstants aud catholics necessaril ; mix together. U mar be advlsabi to grant great liberty and Independence. Al what independence Is enjoyed b : Armenia and other oriental catholics. Th primacy ot the Pope ( his eminence , spo-aklni French , used the word prlumto ) must bo up held , but the church may dovclope vurion manners. " Again I Interrupted : "If the holy ofTic shares your emlncnca's views , I suppose I quite possible that the question of th knights may be quietly burled1 lint aualn the cardinal avoided a dlrec reply. After some further talk regardlnc tin future ot American Catholicism , ho walkci with me and bade me farewell at the door wishing me all good to America. U virtually \ certain that the condemna tlon of the Canadian knights will not bo re versed. The American knlghU will eswp condemnation.

Facing such an audience as she wilt ton dajs hence must , however , try her nerves and present to her anticipation n crucial test. The part of Ann Silvester touches a gamut of emotion. Wllklo Collins , its creator , Is , however , quoted as predicting her entire mastery of that camut. As the niece of a New Vork bishop , and erand daughtcr-ln-law of the founder of Blown , Shipley & Co. , so eminent In British com mercial circles , and as a protege of the Prlnco of Wales' set , she has great social prestige.

" A RUSSIAN MANIFESTO , The Ofllclnl Declaration Concerning the Attempt Upon the Czar. ST. PKTKiisnuno , March 10. The follow ing Is the ixuthori/ed/offlcial declaration con cerntng the attempt .upon the life of the czar : It Is not believed that the active society ol the constitutional party has such an exten sive aud Influential following as some for elgh journals represent. The constitutional ista , Instead of ? w . w.holjj. Jltatlncl from the ntyjlUsu , are nothing but executors of a/mlldl-rlprogramme , cloakinj the violent methods of nihilism so as to se cure a certain amount of toleration from the educated , thoughtful classes In Russia. The czar's advisers are convinced from long ob servation that the influential classes in Rus sia do not consider Iiiat the time has yet ar rived in tue political dovelopements of tb < empire for the Introduction of constitutional government by his majesty. Nor do the pan slavlst party desire constitutionalism. On tlu contrary they declare that autocratic form o ; government , tendered by n just administra tion of codified law , is desirable until iKus sian territorial expansion has reached tin limits set for It by the pan-slavish Ideas The state socialism recently promoted li Germany by Prluce'Blsmarck Is being carefully fully- studied by the liusslai government , the czar being well disposed In .favor of such progrcsslvi economy changes In the territories unde Russian sway as shall conduce to the hapnl ness anil welfare ot the Kusslan people. Tlu c/.ar was deeply impressed by the terrible clr cumstanees under which his father mot hi : death. The last attempt on his own life pro jejted by the nihilists has produced a toellnv of horror. Still it is unlikely thai it will lead to- a change of hi : previous policy. Uls magesty cannot bit view with mingled bitterness and regret tin position In which he Is placed by the threat and perils continually besetting him. 11 < deploics the necessity which constantly ex Ists for costly oxtenstve precautions for hi : personal safety whenever he desiring t < travel or even to move beyond the pro clncts of the palace , restrictions which Impede his movements and prevent hh seeing his people as they aieand judging fni himself concerning their neeus. The czar'i aversion to plunging Kussla into arulnoiu and fruitless war continues as great as ever No chamru in his convictions In this respec is expected by Ills advisers , except In con fotmlty with his views on the Paissiun ini perial inteiests.
