A BOTTLE OF WINE.'
It Effects a Reconciliation Between
the Emperor and Bismarck.
THE WHOLE OF GERMANY REJOICES.
The Ex-ChancelIor Said to Be in Accord
with the Emperor's Policy and
will Attend His Birthday
Celebration.

BERLIN, Jan. 24.-Emperor William
has, apparently, become reconciled to
Prince Bismarck, and the latter will,
in all proba bility, visit the emperor in
Berlin shortly after the latter's birth
day celebration on Saturday next. The
news of the reconciliation has caused
much satisfaction throughout Ger
many, and has increased the emperor's s
popularity. The news has also
strengthened the government, as it is
said Bismarck is in accord with Chan
cellor Won Caprivi and with Baron
Won Bieberstein. the imperial secretary
of state for foreign affairs.
Emperor William delights in sur-
prises, and thus it was, according to
the story, that he allowed no intima-
tion of his intention to seek a recon-
ciliation with Prince Bismarck to leak
out until after the reconciliation was a
fait accompli Little by little the facts
in the case are leaking out, and it
would seem the reconciliation was
brought about entirely by the emperor
himself, and that he accomplished it in
a most graceful manner.
The aide-de-camp of Emperor Will
liam, Col Won Moltke, arrived at
Freidrichsruhe and sought an inter-
view with Prince Bismarck, which was
readily granted. Col. Won Moltke, it
appears, was the bearer of an auto
graph letter from Emperor William to
the ex-chancellor, congratulating the
latter upon his recovery from his rece mt
attack of influenza, and begging him

able wine from the imperial cellars,
which Col. 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
conveyed to him by the emperor's aide
de-camp and the best of feeling is re-
ported to have been displayed on both
sides.
Col. Won Moltke was so successful in
pleasing Prince Bismarck that the lat
ter not only invited him to take drive
about the neighborhood of Fried
richsruhe, but also invited him to
dine at the castle. The emperor's
aide-de-camp accepted both of 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 majesty for his extreme
kindness and thoughtfulness, and as
sured the emperor that he prince Bis
marcll) 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. Spe-
cial attention is paid to the effect
which it will have upon the internal
policy of the empire, much comment
being made upon the announcement
that Bismarck, in addition to being
reconciled to the emperor. is also in
full accord with Chancellor Won Ca
privi, and with the imperial secre-
tary of state for foreign affairs, Baron
Marschau Won Bieberstein. The recon-
ciliation, as announced, has served to
increase the popularity of the emperor,
of his chancellor and of the govern
ment, as there is no doubt a very great
number of people in Germany objected
to the practical exiling from Berlin and
empire of the great German statesman
who laid the foundations OF German
unity, and who built upon them the
empire of Germany.
On the other hand, the agrarians,
who relied upon Prince Bismarck's sup
port against the Russo German treaty,
were downcast and apparently con-
vinced there is no longer much
strength in their opposition to this
mea sure.
The effect of the news of the recon-
ciliation between the emperor and the
ex-chancellor was most marked There
was general rise in stocks and bonds
on the bourse, and a much stronger
and more healthy feeling prevailed on
all sides. Newspapers hail the recon-
ciliation as the happiest vent in Ger
many for a long while, and the people
everywhere give evidence of joyful ex-
citement and thanksgiving.
