BERLIN, Jan. 24.--Emperor William
of Germany has apparently become
reconciled to Prince Bismark and the
latter will probably visit the emperor
in Berlin shortly after the latter's
birthday celebration on Saturday next.
The news of the reconciliation has
caused the utmost satisfaction through
out Germany and has increased the
enperor's popularity. The news has
also strengthened the government, as it
is stated that Prince Bismarck is in &C
cord with Chancellor Won Caprivi and
with Baron Mareschall Won Bieberstein,
the imperial secretary of state for
foreign affairs.
Delights In Surprises.
Emperor William delights in sur
prises ami thus it was. according to the
story. that he allowed no intimation of
his intention TO seek a reconciliation
with Prince Bismarck to leak out until
after the reconciliation was a felt ac-
compli.
Little by little the facts in the case
are leaking out and it would seem that
the reconciliation was brought about
entirely by the emperor himself and
that he accomplished it in most grace
full manner. The aide de camp of En-
peror William, Colonel Count Won
Moltke, arrived at Friedrichsruhe Mon
day and sought an interview with
Prince Bismarck, which was readily
granted Colonel Won Moltke, it APP
pears, was the bearer of an autograph
letter from Emperor William TO the ex-
chancellor. congratulating the latter
upon his recovery from his recent at
tack of influenza and begging him to
accept bottle of very old and valuable
wine from the imperial cellars which
Colonel Won Moltke was also charged to
convey to the distinguished German
statesman.
bismarck Affected.
Prince Bismarck is said to have been
much affected by the kind messages
conveyed to him by the emperor's aide
de camp and the best of feeling is re-
ported to have been displayed on both
sides.
Colonel Won Moltke was so successful
in pleasing Prince Bismarck that the
latter not only invited him to take a
drive about the neighborhood of Fried
richsruhe, but also invited him to dine
at the castle. The emperor's aide de
camp accepted both these invitations
and returned to Berlin bearing. it is
said, an autograph letter from Prince
Bismarck to the emperor. in which the
Iron Chancellor thanked his imperial
majesty for his extreme kindness and
thoughtfulness and assured the en-
peror that he. Prince Bismarck, would
be- most pleased to wait upon his
majesty after the latter's birthday cele
bration, The greatest Importance is
attached in this city and throughout
Germany to the reconciliation between
Prince Bismarck and Emperor William.
The reconciliation, as announced, has
served to increase the popularity of the
emperor, of his chancellor and of the
government, as there is no doubt that
q very great number of people in Ger
many objected to the practical exiting
from Berlin and from participation in
the affairs Of the empire of the great
German statesman who laid the founda-
tions of German unity and who built
upon them the empire of Germany.
