AN INTERVIEW WITH BISMARCK.
Mr.. NJ. D. Conway, in a letter to
the World from St. Avoid, describes
an interview with Bismarck, and his
kindness to Americans
"The King sat at his window-it
was in the post-oflce he had his quar-
ters, adjoining the cathedral-and
looked upon the little company of
worshipers with, I thought, a SYM
pathetic expression. While I was
looking at the King there passed by
me and approached the royal head
quarters a man whoseemed to be him
self kind Of walking cathedral-a
great giant of a man, several inches
over six feet in height, and powerfully
built. So soon as he turned knew it
was Bismarck. He turned just before
entering the door and scanned the
street. Among all the uniforms were
two black streaks; they were repre-
sented by myself and the American
journalist in whose company I hap
pened to be. Seeing US, the Chancel
lOr-he was in simple, dark blue uni
form, trimmed and faced with gold
held up his finger to stop US just as,
after taking a good look at him, we
were moving off. We approached
him, and he met us half way. "Where
are you from ?' he asked. I said, ,
awe are Americans, and are writing
for the press in that country" He
then said, "You are welcome. We
are very glad to have American writ
ers among US, and with our army
The only thing that the authorities
and officers will expect from you will
be proper papers of legitimatiOn. You
have these ? Very well; then the free
dom of everything will be accorded to
you. The only thing we cannot prom
ise you is transportation forward. You
see we are very much crowded with a
vast army in the enemy's country
You will have, gentlemen, to depend
upon yourselves for moving forward;
but for everything else, for all the help
and protection you require, you have
only to come to US here" After some
conversation of a general kind, which
I can not repeat here, the Count shook
hands with US and we departed. The
King, also, who had been from the
first leaning from his window and
could not have helped hearing, bowed
to us and waved his hand and Gen
Krauski, of his household, informed
the "Amerikaner" that in case they
found no food on the march they mus
come to the Kings headquarters"
