BERLIN, March 29.-Prince Bismarck
left Berlin for Friedricksruhe, his coun-
try seat, to-day. Yesterday he visited
the imperial mausoleum at Charlotten-
burg, in which the remains of Emperor
William are inferred, and placed a
wreath on the coffin of his old master.
Prior to his departure from Berlin, to-
day, he paid farewell visits to the royal
princes. Later in the day thousand
persons gathered in Wilhelm strasse and
along the route to the railway station to
drama. Wearing the uniform of the
cuirassiers Prince Bismarck left the
palace of the chancellor at O'Clock in
the afternoon and entered an
open carriage that stood in wait
ing. As soon as he appeared
he was greeted with stormy enthusiasm.
The windows of the houses IN the vicinity
were crowded with spectators. The en-
tire route was a sea of waving handker-
chiefs. The crowd was SO dense that the
chancellor horses were compelled to
walk the entire distance from the palace
to the station. There was continuous
cheering. Following the princess car
riage came a carriage occupied by the
Princess Bismarck and other members of
the family. A third carriage was filed
with members of the American legation.
A number of other carriages filed with
friends and admirers of the prince closed
the procession.
THE FAREWELL.
When the party arrived at the station
a squadron of cuirassiers with band
formed guard of honor. All the min
listers, diplomatic corps and court and
state officials were waiting to bid fare
well to the prince, and there was great
mass of people on the outside OF the
station. Mountains of bouquets for the
prince and princess we're piled in the
waiting rooms. which were gaily decor
ated in honor of the occasion. Prince
Bismarck in heavy voice babe all fare
well, Mr.. Phelps, the American minis
ter, and Chancellor Won Caprivi being
among the last to shake hands with him.
Many tears were shed, and il was alto
gether an affecting scene.
At $40 the train started amid re-
newed cheering, singing and strains of
the band.
In connection with the regard evinced
by Prince Bismarck for Mr.. Phelps it
is worthy of note that on Tuesday last
he denied himself to all others and re-
ceived the minister at private audi
ence. They spent large part of the
afternoon in discussion, the object of
which has excited curiosity here. Rumor
says the prince made careful state
ment of recent events with view to
the future.
NO NEW LIGHT.
The real history OF the CHARACTERISTIC
crisis is still wrapped in mystery which
the emperor shows no intention to unveil.
The intervention of the grand duke of
Baden and other influential personages
has to large extent stopped the news
paper polemios on the subject.
The North German Gazette, Prince
Bismarck IS organ, announces on behalf
of the prince that the addresses and as
surances of sympathy received by him
have been so numerous that, without
official assistance and IN the troublous
confusion incident to. his departure it is
impossible TO reply to them singlY. he
requests them collectively TO accept his
thanks.
SECRETARY OF STATE.
The appointment of Baron Marschan
Breberenshaus as foreign secretary of
state has not been gazetted, but the ap-
pointment is regarded as definite. He
was born in 1882. He was a hard
worker. The baron was formerly pub
lie prosecutor and has never been in the
military service, though he has had
long career in the reichstag. He
is good DICTATOR and has rep
resented Baden in the bundesrath
since 1888. He is an affable man and
popular favorite at court. The Colonial
Gazette SAYS he is intimately acquainted
with Prince Bismarck and his policy.
His appointment, the paper says, is a
guarantee of continued peace. He viii
make no change in the diplomatic SER
vice. 1t Is stated the emperor accepted
Count Herbert Bismarck's resignation
with the greatest reluctance because
Prince Bismarck trained nobody but his
son thoroughly in his policy. The en-
peror's course IN many quarters is held
TO be justifable in anticipation OF the fast
approaching inevitable retirement or
death of Prince Bismarck, and the ne
cessity for the release Of the ministers
from this Blsmarokian bondage and ieal-
ousy of Count Herbert.
LABOR CONFERENCE.
The final sitting of the labor conference
was held to-day. Minister Won Berlepsch
made long address He said he be-
Meyed the delegates had arrived at de-
cislons which would form the basis and
