BIZ Gable to the United Press.


BERLIN, Jan. 25, 1S94.-As the time ap-
proaches for the arrival here of Prince Bis
marck on his visit to the Emperor, the ex-
citement caused by the announcement that
he was surely coming increases in intensity,
and per1neates all classes. A report gained
currency this morning that the ex-Chancel-
lor would reach the city early today.
s Thousands of persons credited the report
and at noon Unter den Linden and the
Lehrte Railway Station, where his High
ness will alight upon his arrival from IRON
FriedrichsPuhe, were crowded with people,
anxious to lend their voices to the cheers
that will welcome the aged statesman TO the
CITY that has witnessed so many of his trl-
umphs. They Hwere disappointed, for the
Prince did not come, but this fact did not
dampen the pent-up enthusiasm OF the
crowd. many of whom declared that they
would remain until he did arrive, so as TO
give him hearty welcome.
At twelve o'clock a large number OF the
members of the Landtag left the Parliament
ary building, all expressing great eagerness
to ascertain if Prince Bismarck had left
Friedrichsruhe 1t is now stated that the
Prince will possibly arrive here at $40
o'clock this evening
At about two o'clock this afternoon the
crowds began to disperse, it having become
known that Prince Bismarck would not ar
rive today. 1t has been arranged that the
special train conveying the Prince will leave
Friedrichsruhe at such time as will allow 1t
to arrive here tomorrow afternoon.
A TRIUMPHAL PROGRESS.
The Lehrte railway station, where the
special train will come in is located some
distance from the palace. The route OF the
procession will probably be over the Moltke
Bridge, which spans the Spree near the sta
ton. through Bismarck-Strasse and the
clyi hn Thiaora
to the Brandenburg Gate; thence
through Unter-den-Linden, past the
palace of Emperor William /, the Opera
House and the palace of Empress Frederick
to the Emperors palace, where Prince Bis
marck will reside during his sojourn In Ber-
lin as the guest of his Majesty. All the
streets along this route are being decorated
in honor of the Princes visit.
The people of Berlin will not be the only
persons who will welcome the ex-Chancellor.
Trains arriving at the various stations are
bringing thousands of people from all parts
of the country, who intend to take part IN
the demonstration. 1t is doubtful if any
event in recent years in Germany has Great
ed such widespread enthusiasm as the visit
of the Prince.
MANY thousands of students, among whom
Prince Bismarck is great favorite, propose
to have torchlight procession in his honor
If this idea is carried out Berlin will see one
of the largest affairs OF the KIND ever VIII
messed here.
The people living along the route that the
procession will probably take from the rail
way station are taking advantage OF the
desire to witness the spectacle, and are
charging enormous prices for the privileges
of using the windows of their residences.
HERBERT NOT SNUBBED
The report circulated few days ago that
Count Herbert Bismarck had been snubbed
by the Emperor probably had no foundation
| in fact. 1t is not believed that, with the
negotiations pending for Prince Bismarck IS
| visit to Berlin, his Majesty, even had be
| felt so inclined, would have treated Count
| Herbert discourteously. Another fact that
| stamps the report as untrue is that Count
| Herbert has received a command from the
| Emperor to visit him at the castle.
| Ii gift of wine that accompanied the
| Enlperor's first autograph letter to Prince
| Bismarck was case of Steinberger Cabinet
| of the vintage of 1912.
The Reichstag tomorrow will hold nc
| session, adjourning over the day IN honor OF
| Prince BismarckS visit.
All Germany is interested in the reconcile
alton between the Emperor and the Prince.
| Dispatches from South Germany state that
many of the towns there are being OF have
| been decorated in honor of the event, and
| that on every side expressions of approval
are heard that at last friendly relations are
again established between the Emperor and
| the Old Chancellor
