Historic Spot Which Emperor William Is Visiting.
The visit to Jerusalem of Kaiser Wilhelm II excites intense interest, not only because it is one of the most spectacular journeys of recent years, but on account of its possibilities of changing the political future of Palestine. The German Emperor has a desire to be known in history as William the Colonizer; it is believed that some deal between himself and the Sultan, for the acquisition of Syria and Palestine, is already in progress, and his visit may, therefore, be an epoch in the history of the ancient city, which has seen during its 4,000 years changes innumerable in politics and government.
The Emperor entered Jerusalem Monday and for several weeks will devote his time to visiting spots of historic interest. On Sunday the Emperor assisted in the dedication of the Church of St. Mary's, which is built on an historic site. Since he has been visiting the holy places, the site of Solomon's temple, the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, the tomb of David, the tomb of Rachel and the Garden of Gethsemane are among the thousand and one historic places upon which the Emperor's feet will tread.
