BERLIN, March 3l.-The slst biri hday OF
Prince Bismarck occurs tomorrow and
will be celebrated with great enthusiasm
and more generally than ever before. Tho
eN-chaucclior's reconciliation with Em-
peror William has given an impetus 10
the celebration which will last until Mon
day. Every post brings letters and gifts
TO Fr.edrlchsruh, from all parts OF tho
empire and from wherever German is
spoken. Tho gifts arriving arc more
handsome and numerous than ever. The
feature of the festivities will he tho part
the German ladies' will take in them.
As commencement T. ladies yesterday
presented Prince Bismarck with an iilum-
mated address, upon which was the read
ing: 10 the Founder of German unity.n
The address was signed by 10000 women,
mlidens of Hcssc, Baden and Palatine-
rlui. II was enclosed IN an artistic
cnslSe, and was accompanied by gift of
600 bottles OF wine of thc rarest and oldest
vintage. Prince Bismarck IN return
thanked the LADIES' and declared the lively
interest taken hy the women in politics is
n step forward in the path of progress.
Deputy Raaumer on Thursday last
headed deputation from Dusseldorf
! which presented tho prince an address,
stating that the new life boat at the island
of Nuordornc, in the North sea, would
bear Prince Bismarck's name. The
chancellor, in reply, delivered n lengthy
| speech. reminiscent OF his visits to the
various seaside resorts and coyertly de-
| Tending the criticism upon tho part of his
newspaper organs of the government
measures, which criticism, lie said, was so
far from being incompatible with a mon
arclIial sentiment that 1t would purify and
promote the monarchic feeling. Tho
prince then invited the delegation 10
luncheon and chattcd freely on various
topics with its members.
At Philharmonic hall tonight tho men,
bers OF the rcichstag made speeches in
which Prince Bismarck was most syinpa-
thetically alluded TO. all reference to tho
aged statesman calling forth loud APP

commercial treaty was carried by the per-

they claim, makes itself felt in every i'm

called absolutism as danger to monarchy
and to the empire.
The shnrtness of tho stay of Emperor
| Francis Joseph at AbaZEln, together with
the absence OF The leading statesmen OF
the two empires, prccludes the idea that
the meeting between the cmperors at the
seaside was other than rcremonious. The
visit OF tho imperial family OF Germany to
| AblzZia is running up an enormous cx.
pensr bill. 1t may be roughly estimated
that the expense OF the soiourn of the en-
peror and empress AT tho seaside resort
will amount 10 between 400, JO) and JOO,O1I
marks.
The women's movement in Germany is
making great progress. The congress
called by the lady delegates 10 the world s
fair at Chicago met here Thursday last.
II is the intention of tho ladies 10 form a
union of all Tho charitable and humane
societies in Germany in order that the
work of tho societies may be conducted
upon a broader plan.
