BISMARCK IS IN BERLIN.
THE NORIER AND GEFFCKEN IN
CIDENTS FASTENED HIM.

Urged the Publication OF emperor
rrederck's Diary.
c9nri0ated 1889 By New York associated Press
BERLIN, Jan. l2-Princs Bismarck was
met on his arrival at the Berlin station by
Count Herbert Bismarck and DR.. Schweni-
Ger He appeared to be in good health, bat
he walked stifly, leaning heavily on a
stick. He was accompanied by two large
DOGS. The chancellor viii address the
reiehstag on Tuesday in the de-
bate on the foreign Office esti-
mates. some of the items Of
which were postponed until his arrival in
Berlin. There is little doubt that he would
have remained longer at Friedricheruhe
had net anxiety as to the possible bad
effects which recent incidents might have
on public opinion urged him to come to
Berlin. in spite Of the fact that he had
hardly recovered from the indisposition
traced to his exertion during the recent fire
at Friedrichruhe.
THE EAST AFRICAN BILL.
Immediately on his arrival last night he
summoned Lieut. W issmann 10 a conference
on the East African bill. Herr Won Ben
nigsen was also present, and the chancellor
acquainted himself with the disposition of
tie rcichsCag on the subject. The caancel-
lor win personally defend the bill, which
Will be submitted to and passed by the
bIndesrath without delsy, and will proba-
blv be disposed of by the reichstag by the
end Of the week. The questi Of its adop-
ton is certainly insufficient to account for
Prince Bismarck's fastening to Berlin. The
preparations being male convey the i'm
preston that the provisions of the bill are
being euergeticaily pushed without waiting
Tor the decision OF the rel hstag.
THE MORIER AND GEFFSKEN AFFAIRS.
The explanation Of tho chaIcellor's anxi-
ETY. to return to Berlin must be sought in
tho outcome of the Morier and Getfckel
affairs, though no attention should be paid
to tic rumors Of the foreign press that his
resignation IS imminent.
The at acks upon Sir Alorier have by no
means ceased, and the apparently endless
various articles thereon are becoming
weansome and disgusting to an impartial
public. The statement nat letters from Sir
NoTi5r mad been discovered urging Prof
Geticken to publish Emperor Frederick's
diary viii fail of effect unless the text Of the
letters is published; otherwise the public
will not bslieye the statement or, at most
wIll suppose that the le ters were simply
acqu5scent replies to Prof Gcffckeus in
diary Nobody believes that Sir Morier
urged the publication Of tho diary 20 spite
Prince Bismarck.
ENGLAND's RUSSIAN sYMPATHIzERs.
The K0lRjsche Zeituag, returning to the
chars to-day, seeks to tlrow suspicion upon
Sir Norier's political character. II says
There exists in England a powerful party
which advocates an Anglo Russian understand
ing, and Sir Morier. who WAS formerly held in
esteem by Queen Victoria and Empress Fred
e-ick, forfeited their f@vor by the decided oppo-
stion he offered to Battenbergism in the inter
ests Of this marty
The Nord Deutsche Zeitung, which has
hitherto t. great extent held al ,of from
the dispute, tonight Inserts a thin end of a
wedge. With view Of owing to what
extent he intentions of Emperor Frederick
differed from the tendency of the liberal
PARTY, it publishes an autograph letter from
Emperor Frederick to Prince Bismarck on
The occasion af the jubilee Of the chancel-
lors entry in tho army.
The letter is as follows:
