Bismarck Resents Being Treated as Polifi-

copyrighted by the United Press, 1898.
BERLIN, Sept. 25.-The arrival Of
Count Herbert Bismarck and Count Rant
Eau, his brother-in-aw. In Kssingen yes
terday, is not expected to help much in
bringing the Emperor and Prince Bis
marck together. Many hope, however, that
stronger influences will prevail, and the
reconciliation will soon be accomplished.
Emperor Franz Joseph and the King Of
SaxOny have sent to Kissengen sympa-
thetic inquiries after the ex-Chancellor's
health, and have suggested the desirabili-
ty that Prince Bismarck make the next
advances. The Grand Duke Of Baden and
the King of Wurtemburg are working
with energy TO the same end. Still Bis
marck holds back, seeming reluctantly to
answer the Emperors advances, before
extorting such homage as no sovereign
has ever paid a subject. kilograms from
Kissengen represent him as frritated
and suspicious. He is said TO regard the at
tentions now bestowed on him by crown
ed heads as too ostentatious. They are
suggestive, he thinks. of a plan to extin-
guish him entirely as a political factor.
He is recovering his strength quite rap
idly now, and is sensitive about being
treated as an honored memory. He means
to reassert himself as a powerful element
in German politics This is the sentiment
on which his son and son-in-law, with
others of their circle. rely TO keep him on
the old line Of opposition to the govern
ment. 1t will bitterly disappoint the
whole country regardless OF party, If they
succeed and the Emperor's overtures be
rejected. The newspapers Of all political
tendencies praise the Emperor for having
taken the initiative and agree IA hoping
that the Pr zee will not deny tDe nation
the pleasure OF witnessing the end Of the
feud between Berlin and FREDERICKSBURG.
