sary excitement, the great hall of the
Lehrte station was closed to the pub

princes saloon carriage, steamed into
the station. Bismarck was accom-
panied, amongst others, by Herbert
Bismarck and Dr. SchWeninger, his
| faithful physician.
Bismarck was cordially greeted by
Prince Henry in the name of his i'm
perial brother, and after the usual sal
utations were exchanged, the ex-chan-
cellor, leaning affectiOnately on Prince
Henry's arm, walked to the carriage
which awaited him. Bismarck looked
pale and wan, and the apparent diff
Guilty with which he mounted the steps
Heading to the doors of the station
proved only too well his recent ILL
nesses have left indelible traces be-
hind them. Outside the station, and
| all along the route, especially the I'm
ter den Linden, where the crowd was
most dense, there was loud and con-
tinuous cheering and waving of hand
kerchiefS although only a passing
glimpse of the old chancellors familiar
features could be caught behind the
windows of the closed carriage, in
which he sat beside Prince Henry.
Members of the suite followed in
was escorted in front and behind by
isquadrons of curassiers. They pro-
lceeded at a brisk trot to the palace,
where the military band played and a
| double guard of honor presented arms
as the illustrious visitor alighted.
Cheer after cheer went up from the

Emperor and Bismarck took place in

| The emperor was attended by officers
of the headquarters staff and members
of the civil and military households
The empress and three of the Oldest
princes were also present
Most cordial greetings were ex-
changed, and the chancellor is de-
scribed as having shown signs of deer
emotion. Luncheon was served in the
princes apartment, the emperor ans
empress alone sitting down with the
distinguished guest.

received except Count Herbert Bis
