Counsersigne0 BISMARCK.
REPEATED BURSTS OF APPLAUSE.
The message was read by Herr Piesdorf,
the President of the Reichstag, who re-
quested permission of the House to submit
to it tomorrow draft of an address in re-
ply to the message, expressing devotion to
the Emperor. This request was unani-
mously granted. Herr Piesdorf then an
nounced that he, with the Vice Presidents
Of the House, had, in the name OF the
Rs;chstsg, asked for audiences with the
Emperor, Empress, the Empress Augusta
and the Crown Prince and Crown Princess,
which will shortly be granted. He then ex-
pressed, amid repeated bursts of applause,
the thanks of the House for the resolutions
Of sympathy with Germany passed by
foreign parliaments.
PRINCE BISMARCK SPEAKS.
Then Prince Bismarck, rising, said: 1T
will afford me greater satisfaction if am
permitted to consider myself charged by
the House to communicate the thanks OF
the Reichstag to these friendly governments
whose Parliaments have expressed sym
psshy with the grief surrounding us. Such
expressions have come not only from our
countrymen in all parts Of the world, the
latest received being from far German
colony in Cores, but from all quarters OF
the globe, mostly accompanied by requests
to lsy wreaths and palms on the Emperors
somb.
ssSuch widespread sympathy on the occa-
sion of the death of 8 sovereign has never
yet been recorded. History tells US that
the disappearance of great men, notably
the death of Napoleon I. and Louis XIV,
caused 8 violent shock. But that wreaths
and palms from neighboring peoples and
from peoples at the Antipodes should be
laid at the tomb of deceased monach is
unprecedented in history. No monarch
ever before was so respected as to cause all
the nations of the earth to bring to his
grave signs of sorrow. Applause.
tRsgarding the special task I desire to
undertake, the expression Of our gratitude
cannot be addressed to all the Ststes Of the
world. The communications received from
our nearer neighbors are especially symps-
thetic, for instance. those from Austria,
Italy, Portugal, the Netherlands, Sweden,
Belgium and Denmark. The former rela-
lions Of the last mentioned country to Ger
many must have awakened sad recolec-
tons. The greatfgure just gone exercised
on sI sides such healing influence that
not only the Danish Government, but both
Houses of the Legislature send to the Ger
man people worthy expressions of sym
pathy. [Applausel. shall thank you to
empower me to express thanks to these
friendly nations, upon whose sympathy
the peace Of the future rests more firmly
than upon written treaties"
There we're loud and prolonged cheers as
Bismarck took his seat.
n TIE LANGTAG.
The united sitting Of the Landtag to heal
the royal message was invested with un
usual interest and the galleries overfowed
with visitors. As soon as the members
hsd assembled Prince Bismarck, accompa
MED By all the Ministers Of State, entered
the hall and read the message. When the
Chancellor had ceased reading the Dude
yon Rahbor, President Of the Upper House
said that it was not within ais province tc
say how each house would reply to tht
message. He would now simply ask the
assembly to mark the Kings faithful at
tachmen: and devotion and unite in The
cry of s'Long live King Frederick" The
cheer was thrice repeated. The Diet forth
with adjourned.
Crown Prince William is indisposed
Professor Bergman will remain in attend
ance upon the Emperor. His Majesty
somewhst oyerexerted himself last week
and his doctors urge that be take absolute
rest from work. They also advise outdoor
exercise at Wiesbaden The Enperor will
probably depart for that place in fort
night.
Reply or the German Reichstas to the Imperia
Message,
