The semi-official Reichsan Zeiger says
that the announcement that nobody was
aware of the emperor's intention 70 APP
proach Prince Bismarck is interpreted
as indicating The emper0r'S desire to
divest the occasion of the slightest
political significance.
The ReichSanZeiger adds that IL is UNI
derstoOd that Prince Bismarck himself
does not expect the empero to refer to
politics. The true explanation of the
reconciliation may possibly be found IN
statement attribute to Baron de
COurcey, formerly French ambassador
at Berlin, who is quoted as saying that
although the desire for a reapproach-
ment with Russia possibly influenced
the emperor, it is far more likely that
he feared Prince Bismarck would die
without being recOnciied If he delayed
any longer.

William has been privately informed
by DR.. SchWeninger that Prince Bis
marck had not long to live.

part of the populace which were wit
messed during the passage of Prince
Bismarck from the railroad station to
tine palace upon his arrival here were
repeated during the passage of the prince
and emperor from the palace back to the
railroad station.
Upon parting with Prince Bismarck,
Emperor William repeatedly kissed the
veteran upon both cheeks, and, after
the latter had entered the railroad car
rlage, the emperor turned to Count Her
bert Won Bismarck and addressed few
words to him, the first in very long
While. Inc emperor then resumed his
conversation with Prince Bismarck, who
leaned out of the carriage window bare
