HEARTS Of GERMANS
All ThrObN With Undying
Love For Bismarck.
GIVEN A GREAT RECEPTION.
Empire Fairly Bubbles Over In Its
Demonstrations Of Happiness.

BERLIN, Jan. ~. -"Unser Bismarck
Kommt." was the single thought Of Ber
liners yesterday. From the earliest
hours the whole city was afoot and the
Unter der Linden was black with people.
Every minute special trains arrived
from Dresden, Munich, Stuttgart, Jena
and Koenigsburg, which cities seemed TO
be pouring their population into the cap
ital.
The German empire, through its length
and breadth, has been filled with an en-
thusiasm almost indescribable over the
apparently complete reconciliation be
tween its two most illustrious sons. The
capital has abandoned itself to delirium
of Joy at the affecting sight of the high
spirited young emperor and the grizzled
patriot statesman ciasping hands with
the utmost cordiality Of manner and EN-.
bracing each other with q heartiness and
warmth whose sincerity 1t seemed i'm
possible to doubt.
From Friederichsruhe to Berlin there
was series Of ovations to Bismarck at
every station passed with his train as il
bore him to the city where the greatest
triumphs Of his great career had been
achieved.
Beginning with the episode of the pres
entation of flowers by the young women
of the town where Bismarck resides, con-
tinuing with the large and excitedly
cheering assem- blages along the entire
route to Berlin, and eliminating In the
grand reception by the immense multi.
tude in the capital, the day was one
that gratified the ex-chancellor to his
hearts content, and fully convinced him
of his unshaken hold upon the affections
OF his beloved countrymen.
Beloved by All.
It was fitting climax in his declining
days to the long number OF wonderful
popular demonstrations which have been
held during his illustrious career in his
especial honor. In spite of all that has
been said and done within the past few
years, It showed the aged public servant
that his name and fame were dear to the
hearts of his fellow-citizens, and that In
Berlin, which owes so much of her great
meas to him, there was none who could
outrival him In the estimation of its in
habitants nor rob him of their unbounded
love.
The emperor, by tho graciousness of his
receptions to Bismarck, aroused un-
bounded enthusiasm, and after their meet
ing everywhere William appeared the
shouts of approval and goodwill were
deafening. The widespread effect Of the
reconciliation cannot be doubted. Its
full effect cannot at the present time be
appreciated. II certainly has done a vast
deal toward the unity and strength Of the
empire.
Bismarck's age precludes the likelihood
Of any further participation by him in
German politics, and perhaps the
most reasonable explanation that has
ret been given for the emperor's
relations between himself and the ex-
chancellor is that Germany's ruler
recognizes the fact that Bismarck's
the past, with all its bitter feeling, before
IL Is too late.
Those who have been most loudly clam
and what is left of the opposition to Cap
rivi seems 80 inconsidsrable as hardly to
merit serious consideration.
Enthusiasm Was Unbounded.
Prince Bismarck's arrival at the castle
yesterday was followed by an enthusiastic
succession of demonstrations upon the
part of the people. Thousands upon
thousands Of people packed the square In
front Of the castle, singing the national
anthem, "Wacht am Rhine" and
"Deutsch Usnber Allies" The emperor
and empress, the young princess and
Prince Bismarck repeatedly appeared at
window, bowling.
While out riding, after leaving Prince
Bismarck ~ the palace, Emperor William
a Oh H. hA n,,
all sides were to be seen In the shop win
dove busts and photographs of Prince
Bismarck, surrounded by palms.
Men and women held their children up
In their arms to catch glimpse of the
iron chancellor, and had 1t not been for
the lines Of police and escort Of cavalry
there is no doubt the people would have
taken the horses from the princes carri-
age and dragged him in triumph to the
castle.
After luncheon the imperial princes Wis
tied Prince Bismarck, and about o'clock
Prince Bismarck drove from the castle
and visited the ex-empress OF Germany.
Later In the day Prince Bismarck gave
a dinner, at which 10 distinguished guests,
including the emperor. empress and King
Of Saxony, were present.
The Departure From Berlin.
The train taking Prince Bismarck back
to Friederichsruhe left this city shortly
after 1870 p. m. Emperor William &C
companied the ex-chancellor to the rail-
road station, and they were escorted from
the palace TO the depot by strong de-
tachment Of Cuirassiers, and by all the
mem bsrs Of the general staff, as we'll as
by number Of generals.
The same scenes Of enthusiasm that oc-
Cured on the way to the palace were
repeated during the passage back to the
station. Upon parting with the prince,
Emperor William repeatedly kissed the
veteran upon both checks, and after the lat
ter bad entered the railroad carriage, the
emperor turned to Count Herbert Won Bis
marck and addressed q few words to him,
the hrst In very long while.
The emperor then resumed his convsr-
sation with Prince Bismarck. The whole
ssemblags then Joined In singing
"psutsch Usnber Allss."
