VIENNA, June 20.-Bsmarcks journey
from Friedrichgruhe to this city to at
tend the wedding Of Count Herbert and
Countess Hoyos has been remarkable
for series of demonstrations such as
have been accorded to no other conti-
mental statesman in recent times. The
prince and princess arrived here at 1890
last evening. At o'clock the streets
near the station were crowded with
men and women. Nearest to the en-
trance to the station were about 5000
students, among whom We're conspicu-
GUS the members of the Young National
society.
A double line of police was drawn up
before the station TO keep them back
and squad of sixty had been assigned
TO the duty of guarding Count Bis
marck's carriage and keeping clear the
approach to it. AS The princes train
rolled into the station the crowd gave q
great shout, and the students began
cheering, but were checked by the DO
lice, who had instructions from the
highest authority to suppress as much
as possible all noisy demonstration.
When the prince and princess emerged
from the station, however, preceded by
Count Herbert, enthusiasm swept the
vast crowd like a whirlwind.
Enthusiasm Unrestrained.
The shouting and cheering were ire
prcssible, and after few vain efforts
the police let the demonstration take its
course. The students swung their hats
and handkerchiefs, waved flags at the
bowling. ex-chancellor and filled the air
with cries of "Hoch, Bismarck" :" Hell,
Bismarck" "Welcome to Vienna"
'Long live the chancellor" "Hoch, the
greatest German" etc. For five minutes
Bismarck stood in the carriage lifting
his broad brimmed hat, smiling and
waving his hand to the surging crowd
and occasionally shouting: "Thank
you, gentlemen. You have my graft
tude and appreciation for this honor. /
thank you heartily"
by the time the party was ready to
start the crowd was sodense as to render
progress almost impossible. The thou
sands chohed up in the streets two or
three blocks distant began to crowd up
to the station, cheering and waving
hats, coats and handKerchiefs. The
students in front We're pushed nearer
the carriage. and the police could not
crowd them back. Several students
broke through the line of police and
clambering up on the carriages shook
the old mans hand. More followed, and
IN minute score of hands We're over
both sides of the carriage and hundreds
OF others were reaching forward to-
ward the ex-chancellor. He was deeply
touched and delighted. He grasped
every hand, repeating, II thank YOU,
young gentlemen" and waving his left
hand towards the men at distance.
Finally Count Herbert interfered,-
shouting that his father was tired from
the journey and pushing back from the
carriage those who We're trying to reach
the prince. Then the students en-
de&yored to unhitch the horses ESom the
carriage so that they could draw tine
Bismarck party TO their destination, tho
Pality palace They were stopped only
BY Prince Bismark's repeated motions
that they should desist. As the car
rage passed slowly through the crowd
the students fell in behind it and began
singing 'Die Watch am Rhein." The
throng Joined in the chorus, and thou
sand or more followed the students up
the street toward the palace. All the
way from the station to the palace the
students sung the German anthem with
ont pause or waver1ns, while the shift
ing crowd in the street and the people in
the windows cheered and applauded
them.
