Prince Bismarck today.
Ever since his reconciliation with the
emperor he has been apparently
new man; his demeanor has entirely
changed. He has been as happy and
as formerly and he has
greatly gained in general health AMI
strength.
The family at Friedrichsruhe was
astir early and an air of joyousness
pervaded the household. The Prince
took the train for Berlin at $3.50 O'clock
this morning, accompanied by Count
Herbert Bismarck, and Doctors
Schweinener and Chrysander. The
whole neighborhood turned out to
cheer the man of blood and iron," as
he left the castle. Six young girls
presented him a laurel wreath inscribed,
Happy Journey" and preceded his
carriage to the station, strewing
flowers in the way, while the crowds
which lined the way gave cheer after
cheer for the veteran statesman.
On the platform of the Magdeburger
depot were the yellow cuirassiers, the
corps he loved so well and whose uni
form he wore on so many notable oc-
casions. He seemed greatly pleased
with the reception accorded him by
his townsmen. He shook hands with
many who crowded around his car
rage. Finally, when comfortably
seated, the train pulled out amid
plaudits and good wishes of the multi
tude. The train, the engine, the station
and all stations along the route were
gaily decorated and everywhere en-
route people turned out en- masse to
signify their affection for the iron
chancellor.
In Berlin itself the streets were soon
packed with people bent on seeing the
princes return after four long, bitter
years of practical exile.
The emperor intended to welcome
him in person at the station, but, at
the last moment he was obliged to
send regrets, as he was compelled to
meet the king of Saxony at the same
hour at another station. The city was
layishly decorated in honor of the &C.
casion and large stands were erected
at desirable points along the route
from the Lehre station to the royal
palace. While the crowds on Unter
den Linden were waiting for the
princes arrival they suddenly saw the
emperor returning from the Thiergar-
ten, and cheered him frantically in their
appreciation of his successful efforts
at reconciliation with the great chan
cellor. In fact, nothing which the en-
peror has done since he assembled the
throne has so won the affection of the
people as this. His reception was en-
tirely unprecedented and he was evil
IDENTIFY delighted, bowling and smiling
on all sides.
Before noon a large assemblage OF
distinguished officers and public Off
Gals specially detailed for the purpose
by command of the emperor, began tC
assemble at the station, including the
headquarters staff, the chiefs of civil
and military cabinets, all in full uni.
form. Soon after Prince Henry d
Prussia brother of the emperor, witt
! his brilliant staff, rode to the station
1t required the utmost efforts of {
large police and military force tt
maintain room for the dignitaries; 81
great was the crowd at the station
/ Bismarck'S train arrived at l p. M.
and as soon as the crowd saw his we'll
known face at he window, it set up {
great shout, which the waiting throng:
in the streets took up and bore away
with a thunderous roar to the very
gates of the palace.
AS Bismarck stepped from the car
he was met by Prince Henry and con
Quoted to the royal carriage, shaking
hands with many others on the way
many of whom, especially the veter
ans, were visibly affected at seeing hin
once more in the city which he hat
done so much to create. AS Bismarcl
emerged from the station he wa.
greeted by a storm of cheers which
spread away till it was repeated
at points miles away. 1t wa
a reception which no man coult
fail to be proud Of Then LEI
by a detachment of cuirassiers, tn
journey to the palace began to tn
accompaniment of German cheer
which fairly shook the house.
From the windows along the rout
and from the hands of the gathere,
multitudes showers of flowers wer
thrown into the carriage, as it passed
while the faces of many of the shout
ling Berliners were wet with tears il
evidence of the genuineness of tn
welcome to the iron chancellor. Bis
marck was evidently deeply moved b
the spectacle to which he has so Ion
been a stranger. On arrival at tn
PALACES, Prince Henry and the EN-
peror'S guest passed between lines @
honor into the palace, where the en-
peror received his fathers an
grandfather's friend and trusted cour
selor with the greatest distinction an
