HOME, SWEET HOME!
Bismarck Back at Friedrichsruhe
Once More.

OhCO I4OE0.
BERLIN, Oct. S.-Prince Bismarck did
not arrive at FREDERICKSBURG from Kis-
singer until after IL o'clock last night.
His coming, as detailed in these dis
patches. had been expected for some
days past, and in consequence the town
was en- fete and the princes home was
looking its brightest. The whole build
ing has undergone thorough dis1nfec-
ton since the woman servant of the
Bismark household was attacked with
typhoid fever. and at one period OF the
princes convalescence prevented his
return from Kissingen.
A crowd of people surrounded the
railway station near Prince BiSmarck's
home when the invalid states man
reached there. The local authorities
only allowed about sixty of the princes
personal friends to greet him on the
platform. Among the latter was the
manager Of the Bismarck estate, to
whom the aged prince gave his left
hand, with pleased, though faint,
smile, at the same time remarking that
his right hand was still disabled.
Prince Bismarck then asked if all were
well at the castle, and said that ne had
borne his journey very we'll. The eX-
chancellor walked firmly to the car
rage which was in waiting for him, and
was driven to Friedrichsruhe. The
route to the castle was lined with peo-
pie, and in front Of them stood firemen
holding faring torches above their
heads and producing a most brilliant
effect. From all sides the prince was
greeted with the most heartfelt en-
thusiasm, mingled with deep rever-
ence. 1t was not the welcome which
would have been extended to the en-
peror, for instance: it was the loving
greeting which grateful. loving chill
dren extend to dearly cherished
father upon whose frame the hand of
sickness and old age rests with heavy
weight.
Count William Joined the princes
party at Hanover, on the way to Fried
richSruhe, at which place the train
stopped at 9:25 p. IN. yesterday. Prince
Bismarck, III spite of his personal re-
quest, and the requests Of his family
and friends that there should be no
demonstrations along the route he was
to follow from Kissingen to his home,
could not quite prevail upon grateful
Germans to subdue their evidence of
love and veneratiOn for Germany's
great statesman in this hour of sickness,
and thus the prince received several
ovations. Prince Bismarck, replying to
those evidences of good will upon the
part of the German people, bowed
cordially to his admirers, many of
whom could hardly be restrained
from pressing forward and kissing the
aged stateSman'S hand.
The Munich Algemiene, Prince Bis
marck'S organ, makes the occasion of
the journey of Prince Bismarck from
KissIngen to Fredrichsruhe the occasion
for long article upon the proposed
reconciliation between the emperor and
the eX-chanccllor, repeating the story of
Prince Bismarck's withdrawal from the
chancellorship and contending that,
even today, the motives which suddenly
caused the prince to fall into imperial
disfavor were as unintelligible now TO
the ex-chancellor as they were in March,
1890. Continuing, the paper referred to
says that the emperor can mod
ify or completely remove his disfayor,
course, the AlgemeIne asserts. which
would establish the forms of courtesy
observed towards deserving statesmen;
beyond that, nothing could be charged.
1t is wrong, the Munich Algemeine says,
to speak of a conflict existing between
Prince Bismarck and Chancellor Won
Caprivi. prince Bismarck" !" the news
paper mentioned continues, "combats
measures, not men, and now only
