MS Emperor.
BERLIN. Jan. 26.-No conqusring general
ever had a more triumphant ontTy into the
city than that acco ded Prince bismarck
to-day. Ever since his reconciliation with
the emperor he has bsen apparently a new
man. Hs dOmoanor has entirely changed.
He has been happy and light hearted as
70 merly, an he has greatly gained In gen
eral health aud strength. The family at
Frieiriohssuhe was astir ga ly. aud an air
OF joyousness pervaded the household. The
prince took q train for Berlin at $50, ao-
companied by Count Herbert Bismarck
and Drs. SchwoninReF aad Chrysander.
The whole nsiRhboih hood turned ont 20
cheer the man OF blood and iron as he left
the castle. Six young girls presented him
laurel wreath inscribed. Happy jour
nsy," and preceded his carriage to ths sta
tion. strswing 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 MsRdebe ger
yellow ouirhssie .. the corps he loved so
we'll. and whose uniform he wore on so
many notable occasions. He seemed
greatly pleased with the ception accorded
him by bis tovnsmen 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 tho multitudss. The train, en-
Rine. station. and all stations along ths
route. were gaily decorated. and everywhere
on the route the people turned out en- mAsse
to signify affection for the Iron ChRncello-.
In Berlin itself the streets we're soon
packed with people bent on seeing the
pTinos's return after four long, bitter years
of practical exile. The emperor intended
TO meet him IN person al the station. but AZ
the last moment he was obliged 10 send re-
Rrets, az he was compelled to meet the king
Of saxony AZ the same hour al another sta
tion. The city was lAVishly decorated In
honor of the occasion, aud large stands
were erected at desirable points along the
route from the station to the royal palace.
While the crowds on Inter den Linden
we're waiting for the princes arrival they
suddenly saw the emperor eturninR from a
ride in ThsirRarten, and ohesrod him fran
IOaliy In testimony OF their appreciation OF
his sucosssful efforts a. recon cIliation with
tho great chancellor. In fact, nothing
which she emperor has done sincs hs as
csnded the throns has 80 wen the affection
Of the people as this. His reception was en-
tirely unprecedented and he was evidently
delighted, boWlng and smiling on all sides.
Before noon large aasemblags Of dis
tinRuished officers and public officials
specially detailed for the purpose by COM
mand Of the emperor, began TO assemble az
the station, all in full uniform. Soon
after Prince Henry of Prussia, brother Of
ths smperof, with a brilliant staff, rode 10
the station. IL required the utmost efforts
OF the large rollce and military force TO
maintain room for tho diRnitaTies, 80 < fsat

As Bismarck stepped from the car be was

officers on the way, many OF whom, es-
pecially veterans. We Q visibly affected at
