A SCENE OF GREAT REJOICING


BERLIN, Jan. 26.-No conquering
general ever had a more triumphant
entry into a city than that accorded
Prince Bismarck today. Ever since his
reconciliation with the emperor, he has
been apparently new man. His de-
meanor is entirely changed. He has
been happy and lght-hearted as for
merly. He has greatly gained in gem
eral health and strength. The family at
Friedrichsruh was astir early and an
air of joyfulness pervaded the household.
The prince took the train for Berlin at
9 80, accompanied by Count Herbert
Bismarck and Drs. Schweniger and
Chrysander. The whole neighborhood
turned out to cheer the man of blood
and iron as he left the castle. Six
young girls presented him with a laurel
wreath inscribed "Happy Journey"
and preceded his carriage to the station
strewing flowers in the way, while the
crowds which lined the way gave cheer
after cheer for the veteran statesman.
He wore the uniform of the Madgebur-
ger yellow cuirasseurs, the corps he
loved so well, and whose uniform he has
worn on SO many notable occasions. He
seemed greatly pleased with the recep-
ton accorded him by his townsmen, and
shook hands with many who crowded
around his carriage. Finally, when
comfortably seated, the train pulled out
amid the plaudits and good wishes of
the multitude. The train, engine, sta
tion, and all the stations along the route
were gaily decorated, and everywhere
on the route the people turned out en-
masse to signify their affection for the
iron chancellor. In Berlin itself the
streets were soon packed with people
bent on seeing the princes return after
four long, bitter years of practical exile.
The emperor intended to welcome him
in person, but at the last moment was
obliged to send his regrets, as he was
compelled to meet the king of Saxony
at the same hour at another station.
The city was lavishly decorated in honor
of the occasion, and large stands were
erected at desirable points along the
route from Leheite station to the royal
palace. Later Bismarck lunched in the
emperor's private rooms with the en-
peror and empress only.
Bismarck's train arrived at 1 p. M,
and as soon as the crowd saw his we'll
known face at the window it set up
great shout, which the waiting throngs
in the streets took up and bore away
with thunderous roar to the very gates
of the palace.
AS Bismarck stepped from the car he
was met by Prince Henry and conducted
to the royal carriage, shaking hands
with many of the officers on the way,
many of whom. especially the veterans,
were visibly affected at seeing him once
more in the city which he had done so
much to create. AS Bismarck emerged
from the station he was greeted by a
storm of "Hochs,'' which spread away
till it was repeated at points miles away.
1t was reception which no man could
fail to be proud of. Then, led by a de-
tachment of .cuirasseurs, the journey to
the palace was begun to the accompa-
niment of German cheers, which fairly
shook the houses. From the windows
along the route and from the hands of
the gathered multitudes showers of
flowers were thrown into the carriage as
it passed. while the faces of many of the
shouting Berliners were wet with tears
in evidence of the genuineness of the
to the iron chancellor. Bis
marck was evidently deeply moved by
the spectacle to which he has SO long
been a stranger.
