BERLIN, April To-day is the seven
ty-eighth anniversary OF the birth Of
Prince Bismarck, and number of Berlin
newspapers are taking advantage OF the

lation- The Nation ID Zeitunq says: "The
widest circles of the German people re-
member with gratitude and reverence the
founder OF the empire, and all unite in
the wish that he be long preserved to the
nation.D
A band of the PRINCES admirers in
North Germany assembled in KieI early
this evening and then proceeded to
brIedrichsruhe to tender congratulations.
Count Herbert Bismarck and wife arrived
at FREDERICKSBURG Wednesday to take part
in the celebration.
Prince Bismarck received yisirors
heartily and showed signs OF both mental
and bodily TigOr. The main feature Of
the celebration was the arrival of thirteen
populations from SchlesWig, Hols1ein
and Duchy OF Lauenburg, numbering in
ali 5,OOO persons The Populations de-
llyered addresses highly euIogizing
Prince Bismarck and congratulating him
on ms birthday. Prince Bismarck in re-
ply delivered lengthy speech of thanks.
and called for three cheers for the kaiser
the protector OF all German races.
In response the assembly cheered en-
Enthusiastically and then sang 'sDeutsch-
land Ueoeralies" with great heartiness,
much to the evident qualification OF
Prince Bismarck Bismarck received
countless letters and kilograms of con-
gratulatlonS from all parts of the world.
On Wednesday Chancellor Won Caprivi
aad conference with the war minister of
Saxony m regard to amending the army
Dill. Thursday they had another confer
ence, but The result of the deliberations
is not known. DR.. Won Benningsen. ma
t1onaI liberal leader, resumed negotia-
lions and these simultaneous movements
induce belief in political circles that
avoided.
During the short interval of the Easter
recess already passed both the government
and party leaders have more keenlv real
lied the grave eventualities arising from
struggle which may imperil some OF the
fundamental institutions somewhere. The
opposition organs now admit that a com
promise IS possible, while Capr1vi's or
gans confess that the ministers view
the prospect of dissolution with great
reluctance.
The Boerson ZeitUHg affirms upon what
1t claims to be high authority that if the
army bill be finally rejected BY the reich
stag, Emperor William will assent to the
chancellor replacing the measure by mod
crate proposals and only in the event Of
the Centre party continuing to oppose
the latter proposals VIII the reIchstag be
dissolved.
| The conservatives haYe definitely
| thrown over Rector Ahlwordt, the Jew
beater and hbeler, but irrepressible as
| ever he pervades the country, venting old
scandals with his accustomed zest. At
Stettlng at conference on German
thought In conflict with Jewish thought.
Ahlwordt developed to the satisfaction of
his audience thesis that all moral and
social evils now affecting Germany arose
from the jews.
He concluded his address by declaring
/ that az soon as the reichsbap met ha
would produce proofs of corruption under
/ the Bismarck regime and since Bismarck
held office. a somewhat similar con-
( ference TO that 1t was proposed to hold in
Dresden has been forbidden by the police.
Another meeting, which is expected TO be
a monster one, has been convened in Ber-
! lin.
Emperor William has advised the gov
eminent to consider exceptional measures
for REFRESHING Ahlwordt, who is at pres
ent protected by his membership in the
reichstag- The emperor has suggested
that action be taken against him on the
ground that he is dangerous to public
morality. It is understood, however,
that ma iority of the ministers are un-
willing to interfere, as his repression
might convert him in the eyes of the anti
semitics into a martyr. Ahlwordt's auto
graphs or portraits areseen in book stores,
cafes and beer cellars with his head
crowned with laureIs.
JudenheitZe is extending to German
canIons in Switzerland. It has ALREADY
resulted in petition to the bundesrath =,
bearing 81, 600 signatures, asking for q
prohibition of the Jewish mode Of killing
cattle. The bundesrath, by a vote of 90 to
40. rejected the memorial without dis
cussing its claims to be heard on sanitary
and sentimental grounds
