BERLIN. Jan. 27.-The thlrty-iifth
birthday of Emperor William was cele-
DRAFTED today throughout Germany in a
most elaborate and enthusiastic man.
ner, and with display of regard for the
emperor which has never before been
manifested.
The people of Germany. in addition
to celebrating the emperor'S birthday,
have today been celebrating the twenty
fifth anniversary of his entering into
the Prussian army. and. above all. they
have been celebrating the reconciliation
which has taken place between the EN-
peror and Bismarck.
Emperor William was born in Berlin
on Jan. 81, 1859, and succeeded to the
throne on the death of his father, the
late Emperor Frederick, on June 10,
1883.
The splendor and enthusiasm with
which the birthday was today celebrated
have never been surpassed in Berlin
during the present reign.
Beriners today were all fond of their
emperor, and it was unmistakable that
feeling of relief prevailed on all sides
at the happy outcome of Prince Bis
marck's visit yesterday to Berlin. No
one can take exception To the emperor

marck all yesterday has made great
impression upon the people of Berlin,
who are we'll aware how the emperor
generally earns the sobriauet of "Will-
lam the Second to None"
Consequently the streets around the
schloss, or imperial palace, were
thronged with people at an early hour
this morning, and
BERLIN ITSELF,
from its center to its extreme suburbs.
presented decidedly animated ap-
pearance.
1t was noticed and freely commented
upon that during last night and this
morning many additional decorations
had been added to those of yesterday,
and this was looked upon as being an
other mark of the approval of
the public at the empcrOr's re-
Cancellation with the. eX-chan-
cellor. The increase of decoration
was especially noticeable in regard to
the private residences in all parts of
the city. and feature of this extra dis
play was the great number of busts of
the emperor and of Prince Bismarck
which were displayed, surrounded by
laurel and palms, in many shop win
dows, us we'll as in the windows of a
great number of private houses.
The ceremonies of the day were
opeifed by royal salute of 1O1 guns,
which was fired little before 10 a. m,
at which hour the emperor received the
congratulations of the members of the
imperial family.
The emperor then received the officers
of the headquarters staff and the chiefs
of his civil and military cabinets, as we'll
as Il number of other distinguished peo-
pie. q n -
After these visits the whole court at
tended an impressive religious service
in the royal chapel. Immediately after
wards the members of the imperial
family and the representatives Of royal
families who were present proceeded to
the white hall of the castle, where a
grand reception of all the notabilities of
Berlin was held. The ladies OF the
court wore long, trailing promenade
dresses and hats and the men all wore
uniforms.
AMONG THOSE PRESENT
were the Grand Dukes of Baden, Hesse,
Tuscany and Saxe-Aitenburg; the
Princes of Saxe-W eimar, Sake Melnin-
gen, Reuss, Valdez, Saxe-Al:enburg
and NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS..
The ceremony of giving out the parole
and the cOunterSlgn occurred soon after
noon amidst a scene Of the greatest mil
itary Splend0r.
The place selected for this ceremony
was the great court of honor at the
arsenal. The weather was bright, and
the streets i'll the neighborhood OF the
palace and arsenal were packed with
people, who cheered the popular ceIebri-
ties as they arrived or departed. All
the celebrated officers of the empire
were present either at the castle, the
chapel or the arsenal during the early
part of the day, and the variety of (iaz-
fling uniforms, covered with glitteri ny
orders and stars, was positively bewil-
dering.
AS the crowds recognized some dis
tinguished or popular hero, there Was q
great shouting of "huch'' and other
signs of welcome.
: The company of guards on duty at
the Neue Wache guard house, adjoining
the arsenal. was kept running IN and
out continuously. No sooner was the
guard dismissed, after presenting arms
and receiving in the regulation manner
some distinguished officer, when the
peculiar cry of "heraus" Come OUT,
from the sentinel. followed by the beat
ing of drums, brought all of the guards
back to the front of the guard house,
where they were again called upon to
present arms for some general OF for
some one above that rank.
THE ENTHUSIASM
of the people about the arsenal culmi-
mated with the arrival of Emperor Will
lam, who was accompanied by his
brother. Prince Henry of Prussia, and
other members of royal families.
The emperor i'll person gave the pa.
role and counterSIgn to the generals.
and the function was ended.
Later in the day, Prince Frederick
Leopold presented Emperor William
with a handsome falchion "a broad
bladed short sword), on behalf of the
Gardes du Corps. AT the reception in
the white hall, Chancellor Won Caprivi
was the first to approach the throne,
and as he stopped before the emperor,
the latter extended his hand with
the greatest of cordially. and remained
in CONVERSATION with the chancellor for
some minutes, behaving in the most
gracious manner possible. This Incl
dent was noticed and commented upon
with eagerness by all assembled, and it
was the general opinion that it dispelod
any lingering doubts as to the relations
between the emperor and the chancel-
lor which might have been raised in
many minds by yesterdays event.
Among the former ministers of state
wiIo, attended the reception in tine white
hall was Count Herbert Won Bismarck,
and speculations as to his future con-
tinuedlto be made on all sides, the be-
lief4being generally expressed that he
will be appointed 10 some post of infiu-
ence. Both upon driving to the arsenal
and upon returning from the military
ceremony there to the palace,
