PRINCE AND ENPEROR.
Reconciliation Between Bismarck
and Gormany's Monarch.
TT CAUSES GREATEST REJOICING.

It Was Brought About by tho Emperor
Himself, Who Sent a Special Messenger
to tho Great Statesman. Who VIII Visit
Berlin Next Week.
BERLIN, Jan. a4-Emperor William has
apparently become reconciled to Prince
Bismarck, and the latter will probably
Visit the emperor in Berlin shortly after
the latter's birthday celebration on Sat
urday next. The news of the reconcila-
tion has caused the utmost satisfaction
throughout Germany and has increased
the emperor's popularity. The news has
also strengthened the government, as it
Is stated that Prince Bismarck is in ac-
cord with Chancellor Won Gaprivi and
with Baron Marschall Won Biebersteln,
the Imperial secretary of state for foreign
affairs.
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 ac-
complished it in most graceful manner,
He sent his aide-de camp, Colonel Count
Won Moltke, with an autograph letter to
the ex-chancellor, congratulating him on
his recovery from his recent attack of in
fnenza, and begging him to accept bot
tie of very old wine from the imperial
cellars, which Colonel Won Moltke was
also charged to convey to the distin-
guished German statesman The mission
was entirely successful, and Bismarck
stated that he would call on the emperor
next week.
There is no doubt that very great
number of people In Germany objected to
the practical exile from Berlin and from
participation in the affairs of the empire
of the great German statesman who laid
the foundations of German unity, and
who built upon them the empire of Ger
many. On the other hand, the Agrarians,
who relied upon Prince Bismarck $ sup
port against the Russo German treaty,
are downcast, and apparently convinced
that there is no longer much strength in
their opposition to this measure.
The effect of the news of the reeoncilia-
tion between the emperor and the ex-
chancellor was most marked. There was
a general rise in stocks and bonds on the
bourse and much stronger and more
healthy feeling prevailed on all sides.
The newspapers hail the announcement
of the reconciliation as the happiest event
which has happened in Germany for a long
while, and the people everywhere give evil
dence of joyful excitement and thanks
giving.
The excitement and satisfaction is not
confined to political circles. Allranks aud
all ages, as well as all conditions of peo-
pie, rejoice to hear that there is no longer
any angry feeling between the ruler of the
German empire and the great servant of
the country, who has done SO much for
German unity.
One of the results of the reconciliation
between the emperor and Prince Bis
marck is that preparations to celebrate
the emperor's birthday on Saturday have
been multiplied, and that this event will
now probably be made the signal for
general outburst OF patriotic enthusiasm
throughout Germany.
