Bismarck Goes from Fricdsrichsruhe to
the City of vienna.
VIENNA, June 21 Bismarck Journey
from FriedsI' chsruhe to this city to at
tend the welding of Count Herbert and
the Countess Hoyos has been remarkable
for a series of demonstrations such as
have been accorded to no other CONT
mental statesman in recent times.
The prince and princess arrived here
at 1880 Sunday evening. At o'clock
the streets near tho station were crowd
ed with men and women. Nearest to
the entrance to the station We're about
5000 students. among whom We're con-
spicuous the members of the Young Ma
tional German society. A double line
of police was drawn up before the sta
sion to keep the crowd back, and a
squad of sixtv had been assigned to the
special duty of guarding Count Herbert
Bismarcks carriage and keeping clear
the approach to it.
AS the princes train rolled into the
station the crowd gave a great shout,
and the students began cheering, but
were checked by the police who had in
structions from the highest authority ID
suppress as much as possible all noisy
demonstrations. When the prince and
princess emerged from the station, they
were preceded by Count Herbert. The
enthusiasm swept the vast crowd like a
whirlwind The shouting and cheering
We're irrepres 7ible, and after a 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
ha DIV will re
marck," 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 md waving his hand to the
surging crowd, and occasionally shout
ing "Thank you, gentlemen; you have
my gratitude and appreciation for this
honor; the k you heartily" BY the
time the party was ready to start the
crowd was so dense as to render progress
almost impossible. The thousands
choked up in the streets two or three
blocks distant began to crowd up toward
the station, cheering and waving coats,
hats and handkerchiefs.
The students in front were 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 carriage, shook
the old mans hand. More followed.
and in m mute score of hands were
over both sides of the carriage and hun
dreds of Otl ers were reaching forward
toward the cx-chancellor. He was
deeply touched and delighted. He
grasped every hand, repeating: ~
thank you young gentlemen, and way
ing his left hand toward 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 were trying to reach
the prince. Then the students endeav-
ored to unhitch the horses from the car
riage 50 that they could draw the Bis
marck party to their destination, the
Palffy palace. They were stopped only
by Prince Bi marck's repeated motions
to stop. The carriage passed slowly
through the crowd, the students fell in
behind it and began singing "Dic Wacht
am Reihn."
The crowd joined in the chorus and q
thousand or more followed the students
mp the street toward the palace. All the
way from tho station to the palace the
students sang the German anthem with
out pause or wavering, while the shift
ing crowd in the streets and the people
in the windows cheered and applauded
them.
AT the Palffy palace the scenes at the
station were repeated with increased en-
thusiasm. Men and women fought to
approach the ex-chancellor, and scores
OF students tried to force an entrance
into the vestibule.
The police were powerless until they
drew their swords and began cutting
right and left in the crowd. After sew
eral had been wounded and twenty or
more arrested the students fell back.
Cheers upon cheers were given for the
prince and princess and then the crowd
dispersed. The students arrested,
it is understood, will be released,
The police regretted that they had to
take such heroic measures and say that
only the utter :mpossibility of protect
ing the prince and princess otherwise,
led them to draw their swords and take
students into custody.
