aioof from political life, now wish To
speak lew words III order to appro Oh
you personally" Cheers.
The chancellor tnen referred TO the
important position which had been held
by Prince Bismarck, and expressed the
hope that in the future the empire
wou.d continue secure. The eGiGce OF
the state, ne said, was cementeG firmly
enough 10 resist wind ana weather..
Moreover, the noble personality OF the
young monarch had already mani
Tested itself at home and abroad.
He affirmed his undying belief
III the future of Russia, and
of the German Empire resting on
Frussia's shoulders. Both tor a long
time 10 come would be an historical
necessity. Both could anticipate
the future fun of hope. The
Emperor lad said that his course
would remain the same. The
inauguratlon Of a new era was therefore
not to be expected, although Il more

cooperate with all persons having at

life, and by which he always called
