BERLIN, January 12.-Prince Bismarck
was met on his arrival at the Berlin station
by Count Herbert Bismarck and DIR.
Schwener. He appeared to be in good
health, but be alked stifly, leaning heavily
on stick. He was accompanied by two
large dogs. The Chancellor will address
the ReichStag on Tuesday in the debate on
the foreign office estimates, some of the items
of which were postponed until his arrival
in Berlin.
There is little doubt that he would have
remained longer at Friedrichsruhe had not
anxiety as to the possible bad effects which
recent incidents might have on public opin-
ion, urged him to come to Berlin, in spite
Of the fact, that he had barely recovered
from the indisposition traced to his exertion
during the recent fire at Friedrichsruhe.
Immediately on his arrival last night he
summoned Lieutenant Wissman to a con-
ference on the East Africa bill Herr Won
Bennigsen was also present, and the Chan
cellor acquainted himself with the disposi-
tion of the Reichstag on the subject.
BISMARCK TO THE RESCUE.
The Chancellor will personally defend
the bill, which will be submitted to and
passed by the Bundesrath without delay,
and will probably be disposed of by the
ReichStag by the end of the week. The
question of its adoption is certainly insult
tcient to account for Prince Bismarck s
fastening to Berlin. The preparations be-
ing made convey the impression that the
provisions of the bill are being energetically
pushed without waiting for the decision of
the Reichstsg. Lieutenant Wissman will
follow the quickest land route, embarking
at Brindist or Trieste. He is receiving
numerous offers to join the new colonial
corps.
The explanation of the Chancellor's anx-
lety to return to Berlin must be sought in
the outcome of the Morier and Gefcken af-
fairs, though no attention should be paid to
the rumors of the foreign press that his res
lgnation is imminent The attacks upon
Morier have by no means ceased, and the
apparently endless variations thereon are
becoming wearisome and even disgusting to
an impartial public
THE MORIER CHESTNUT.
The statement that letters from Morier
had been discovered urging Geffcken to
publish Emperor Frederick's diary will fail
of effect, unless the text of the letters is
1c H.
believe the statement, or, at the most, will
suppose that the letters were simply ac-
qulescent replies to Geffcken's intimation
OF his intention to publish the diary. No
body believes that Morier urged the publi-
cation of the diary to spite Bismarck. The
hot7lSche ZeitUng, returning to the charge
to-day, seeks to throw suspicion upon
Morier's political character. 1t says:
There exists in England a powerful party
which advocates an Anglo Russian understand
ing, and Morier, who was formerly held in
esteem by Queen Victoria and Empress Fred
erlck forfeited their favor by the decided op-
position offered to Battenbergism in the in
terests of this party.
The Nord Deutsche Zeitung, which has
hitherto held aloof from the dispute. to-
night inserts the thin end of the wedge.
With the view of showing to what extent
the intentions of Emperor Frederick diff
fered from the tendency of the Liberal
party, it publishes an autograph letter from
Emperor Frederick to Prince Bismarck on
the occasion of the jubilee of the Chancel-
lor's entry into the army. The letter is as
follows:
FREDERICK TO BISMARCK.
