Two years ago he pub- lished a book entitled “The Germans in | | America,” which was a scholarly treatise | on the subject and covered a wide field of | | atscussion. As a philologist and student | of European literature he has been re- garded as very valuable on the Stanford faculty, and his courses have been popu- | lar with the students. He has edited sev- eral German literary periodicals’and is at present connected with one or two. He took nis position on the faculty of this university in 18%. Previously he had re- | ceived the degree of Ph. D. at the Uni- versity of Tubingen in 1882, and had acted as instructor in German at Johns Hop- ins University, 18%5-1888.

King Alfonso and President Loubet had been cheered along the entire route to the opera by enthusiastic crowds, the young monarch having completely won the hearts of Parislans since his arrival here. The gala performance in the opera com- prised “Samson and Delilah” and *“Mala- detta.” When- the King and President Loubet entered the building, surrounded by a brilllant staff and followed by near- ly the entire diplomatic corps and supe- rior officlals, the audience, which was composed of the elite of French soclety, arose and cheered while the orchestra played the Spanish and French national anthems. The performance went without.a hitch. His Majesty chatted gayly with- Presi- dent Loubet during the intermissions and at the close of the performance the or- chestra again played the national hymns of the two countrles and the King and President arose to leave. ENTER THE ROYAL CARRIAGE. They procecded down the grand stair- case and arrived at the gayly illuminated and decorated Place de 1'Opera, where the royal carriage awaited them. The King and President took seats side by side and the vehicles started off, surrounded by several squadrons of cyirrassiers, toward the Avenue de I'Opera. The space around the opera-house was cleared for two hundred yards, but the avenue was packed by a dense throng, which, while awaiting the passage of the royal and Presidential party, admired the charming scene, the decorations extendigg as far as the Palals Royal.

The force of the explosion was terrific and caused a derangement of the elec- tric lights, which were all extinguished, adding darkness to the scene of confusion. ‘Women and children screamed, and a panic -was for a time threatened in the vast throng.until the police succeeded in restoring ‘order.
