THE KAISER TOOK THE FIRST STEP.

Won Moltls Was Sent with an Olive
Branch In the shape Of a Note and =
Bottle Of Rare Old Wine to tho Iron
ChanoelIor.
BERLIN, Jan. 2i-Emperor William Of
Germany has apparently become reconciled
70 Prince Bismarck, and the latter will
probably visit the emperor in Berlin short
~ after the latter's birthday celebration on
Saturday next.
The news of the reconciliation has caused
the utmost satisfaction throughout Ger
many and has increased the emperor's pop
nlarity. The news has also strengthened
the government, as il is stated that Prince
Bismarck is in accord with Chancellor Won
Caprivi and Marschnll Won Bieberstein, the
imperial secretary Of state for foreign af-
fairs.
Emperor William delights in surprises,
and thus II was, according to the story,
that he allowed no intimatlon Of his inten-
tion TO seek reconciliation with Bis
marck TO leak out until after their recon
ciliation was accomplished. Little by lit
tie the facts In the case are leaking out,
aud 1t would seem that the reconciliation
was brought about entirely by the emperor
himself and that he accomplished it in a
most graceful manner.
Won Moltte Bore tho Peace Offering.
The aid-de-camp Of Emperor William,
Colonel Count Won Moltke, arrived at
Friedriehsruhe on Monday morning aud
sought an interview with Prince Bis
marck, which was readily granted Colo
mel Won Moltke, Il appears, was the bearer
Of an autograph letter from Emperor VIII
liam to the ex-chancellor congratulating
the latter upon his recovery from his re-
cent attack Of influenza and begging him
to accept a bottle Of very old and valuable
wine from the imperial cellars, which Colo
mel Won Moltke was also charged to convey
TO the distinguished German statesman.
Prince Bismarck Is said 20 have been
much affected by the kind messages CON
veyed TO him by the emperor's aid-de-
/ camp, and the best Of feeling Is reported to
have been displayed on both sides. Colonel
Won Moltke WAS so successful in pleasing
Prince Bismarck that the latter not only
invited him to take drive about the
neighborhood Of Friedriohsruhe, but also
invited him TO dine at the CASTLE The em-
peror's aid-de-camp accepted both these in
vitRtions and returned to Berlin bearing,
| It Is said an autograph letter from Prince
| Bismarck to the emperor, in which the
/ Iron Chancellor thanked his imperial mai
asty for his extreme kindness and thought
1 fulness aud assured the emperor that he,
Prince Bismarck, would be most pleased
to wait upon his majesty after the latters
birthday celebration
The grentest Importance Is attached in
this city and throughout Germany to the
reconciliation between Prince Bismarck
and Emperor William as heralded by the
present Of the bottle Of wine. Especial at
tention is paid to the effect which tho rec
onciliation will have upon the internal pol
licy of Germany, much comment being
made upon the announcement that Prince
Bismarck, in addition to being reconciled
to Emperor William. is also in full accord
with Chancellor Won CapriT and with the
imperial secretary Of state for foreign af-
fairs Baron Marschall Won Bieberstein.
Made the Fatherland Rejoioe.
The reconciliation, as announced has
served to increase the popularity Of the en-
peror, Of his chancellor and of the govern
ment, as there Is no doubt that very great
number Of people in Germany objected to
the exiling practically from Berlin and
from participation in the affairs Of the en-
pire Of the great German statesman who
laid the foundations of German unity and
who built upon them the empire Of Ger.

The effect of the news Of the reconcilia,
tion between the emperor and the ex-chan-
cellor was most marked. There was gen
eral rise In stocks and bonds on the bourse
and a much stronger and more healthy
feeling prevailed on all sides. The news
papers hail the announcement of the rec
onciliation as the happiest event which has
happened in Germany for a long while
and the people everywhere give evidence o.
joyful excitement and Thanksgiving
In the reichstag the statement of Herr
Kardorff, Imperialist, who said that th,
existing distress could only be relieved bj
the protection Of national labor, which, h,
added, Prince Bismarck initiated, wa.
greeted with loud cheering, and loud and
prolonged applause was occasioned by Herr
