BERLIN. Aug. 6.-Bismarck arrived at
Stettip station here this afternoon. An In
mense crowd enthusiastically welcomed
him, singing patriotic songs, and cheering
long and loud. The Prince addressed the
crowd briefly. saving he had returned from
his journey 10 Vienna more satisfied than on
his departure. He said he found in the
on-Prusssn parts of Germany a large re-
serve of loyalty to the empire. Soon after
he resumed his journey.
Prince Bismarck's studied avoidance of
any open reference TO the Governments
policy In the brief speech that he delivered
upon his arrival to-day is the source of
great relief to the official mind, which has
been filed with forebodngs that the Prince
would renew his attacks. Since his notable
speech at jena he has been made TO feel
official resentment in various petty ways.
The different railway stations in Prussia.
when the Prince is expected to pass, have
been virtually closed to the public.
At Halle, where lie had 10 Rlight to
change trains, the railway officials refused
TO admit any one to the platform, and asked
the Prince 10 leave the car and stay in the
waiting-room until the train was ready to
proceed. Similar isolation was attempted
here. but the officials did not dare to face
science toward the eX-Chancelor. The
Oyatons In his honor by the people became
warmer, owing TO the public indignation
over his bad treatment. 1t has traDspired
that the Government tried TO influence the
Grand Duke of SaXe-Weimar to order the
municipal authorities OF jena and the
chiefs of the university to refuse the Prince
q public reception. Professor Haeekel,
however, personally saw the Grand Duke.
Revival OF BIsmarck's Influence.
The National Zeitung and the other Ma
tiOnal Liberal organs rightly boast of
revival Of Prince BismaTck's influence and
proclaim him still TO be the greatest ruling
personality in Germany, even though he is
never again invested with Office. Herr Herr
fnTth, the PTussian Minister of the Interior,
delays MS formal resignation until the re-
turn of Emperor William, but his with
drawal is practically fact. Herr Helm.
the President of the Imperial Board of
Railways, also intends to resign. This
rupture in the Ministry is due to majority
Of the members of the Cabinet supporting
MlQuePS financial reforms. Miguel pro-
poses TO rehnquish taxation by the state OF
real estate and mines, permitting the com
mlnity 10 levy such taxes for their admin
istratlye expenses. He would meet the
shortage OF the state budget resulting from
the loss OF the taxes on real estate by al
increase OF the income tax and leTying
tax On funded property.

Negotiations for a commercial ente nte
with the Russian Government are sLill ope n,
with the balance Of advantage on tn.
slde Of Germany, but the reports Gu trent OF
late to the effect that the German Gov
ernment would favor the new Russian loans
after the conclusion of the treaty are semi
officially denied.
The new Tonciad Woerth, named after
the village of N0erth-Sur-SAuer, in Alsaee
noted as point where the first decisive en-
counter took place between the French and
German armies, August 6, 1870, and where
the Germans won their first victory, was
launched to-day at KieL.
The announcement that treaty Of COM
meree has been concluded between Germany
and the United States OF Colombia is the
subject of congratulations by the CONNER
ciai press as a German success against the
United States. The United States Of Co.
lOmbia sends to this country tobacco, nuts,
coffee and sugar in exchange for all kinds
of German manufactures. The total annual
value Is not great, but the treaty is hailed
with favor as hit a. the United States Pan
American principle.
Paul Wolff, a well-known journalist, has
been asked by cable by Henry Willard TO
