Emperor William and Prince
Bismarck Make It All Up.
THE KAISER TOOK THE FIRST STEP.

Bottle of Rare Old Vino to the Iron
Chancellor. -
BERLIN, Jan. % Emperor Willa4n~o
Germany has apparently become reconciled
to Prince Bismarck, and the latter will
probably visit the emperor in Berlin short
ly after the latter's birthday celebration on
Saturday next.
The news of the Reconciliation has caused
the utmost salts, action throughout Ger
many and has Increased the emperors pop
ularity. The newe has also strengthened
the government, as it is stated that Prince
Bismarck is in accord with Chancellor Won
Caprivi and Marshall Won Bieberstein, the
imperial secretary of state for foreign af-
fairs.
Emperor William delights in surprises,
and thus it was, according to the story,
that he allowed no intimation of his inten-
ton to seek a 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,
and it would seem chat the reconciliation
was brought aboul entirely by the emperor
himself and that he accomplished it in a
most graceful manner.
Won Moltke Bore the Peace Offering.
The aid-de-camp of Emperor William,
Colonel Count Won Moltke, arrived at
Fredrichsruhe ON Monday morning and
sought an interview witch Prince Bis
marck, which was readily granted. Colo
mel Won Moltke, it appears, was the bearer
of an autograph letter from Emperor Will
liam to the eX-chancellor congratulating
the latter upon his recovery from his re-
cent attack Of influenza and begging him
to accept II bottle IF 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 to 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 Friedrichsruhe but also
invited him to dine at the castle. The EN-
peror's aid-de-camp accepted both these in
vitations 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
fulness and assured the emperor that he
Prince Bismarck, would be most pleased
to wait upon his majesty after the latter's
birthday celebration.
The greatest 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 the rec
onciliation will have upon the internal pol
icy 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 Caprivi and with the
imperial secretary of state for foreign af-
fairs Baron Marschall Won Bieberstein.
Made the Fatherland Rejoice.
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 il. Germany objected to
the exiting 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
many.
The effect OF the news of the reconcilia-
ton between the emperor and the eX-chan-
cellor was most marked. There was gem
eral rise in stocks and bonds on the bourse
and 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 of
joyful excitement and thanksgiving.
In the reichstag the statement of Herr
Kardorff Imperialist, who said that the
existing distress could only be relieved by
the protection of national labor, which, he
added, Prince Bismarck initiated was
crested with loud cheering, and loud and
prolonged applause was occasioned by Herr
kardorff's announcement that he felt the
greatest satisfaction at Prince Bismarck's
journey to Berlin.
One of the results of the reconciliation
between the emperor and Prince Bismarck
is that preparations to celebrate the en-
peror's birthday on Saturday next have
been multiplied, and that this event will
now probably be made the signal for gem
eral outburst of patriotic enthusiasm
throughout Germany.
The excitement and satisfaction are not
confined to political circles. In the army,
among the bourgeoisie, among the clergy,
among the ariStOcracy and among the peas
ants here, there and everywhere - all
ranks, all ages and 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 strength and unity.
Thus it is that the approaching meeting
between Emperor William and Prince Bis
marck will be a memorable one in the his
Oh
an echo of sympathy in every patriotic
heart not only throughout the German
empire, but wherever the German language
is spoken.
