The " Diamond Jubilee " birthday of the Austrian Emperor
on Tuesday was celebrated in Vienna and throughout the Empire with special services, military reviews, and patriotic demonstrations. The German Emperor proposed the health of his " illustrious and loyal ally " at Withelmshohe in a spew]] in which be specially emphasised " the love and gratitude which I, my consort, and my children entertain, and always will entertain, towards his Majesty "; and ging Edward, who entertained a large number of guests at a special banquet at Marienbad, referred with equal warmth to the anniversary they were met to celebrate. Speaking in German, the King said : "All of us who sit at this table wish that his Majesty may be preserved yet many years for the benefit and welfare of his peoples." That is a wish which is increasingly shared not only by the Emperor's subjects, bet by ail who desire the con- tinuance of peace throughout Europe.
