BISMARCK SLEPT WE'LL.
He Evidently Had a Good Time
When He Visited the Kaiser.
COUNT HERBERT MAY BE SENT
TO VIENNA AS AMBASSADOR,

But He Must Submit to Caprivi-The
Prince Is Said To Be Getting Better
Acquainted With Newspaper Men-It
Is Still Stoutly Asserted that the Visit
Had No Political sisnificance-Other
Foreign News.
Berlin, January 27.-As more details of
Prince Bismarck's short soiourn in Ber-
lin are ascertained, it becomes palmer
that the reconciliation was carefully
divested of political import. Certain
newspapers persist in enlarging on the
probable political results of his reported
conference with Emperor William and
Chancellor Won Caprivi, but such
course is not warranted by the facts. It
is now known positively that Bismarck's
private conservation with the Emperor
lasted but ten minutes and Caprivi did
not talk with him at all. The report
that the old and new chancellors had a
conference arose from case of mistaken
identity. The Prince did not desire to
talk politics with either the Emperor or
the Chancellor, and refrained carefully
during his reception at the royal palace
from all allusion to public affairs. Bis
marck's visit to Berlin gave him un-
mixed pleasure. DIR. Schwenieneer saws
the visit had the best effect on the health
OF the Prince, who, on the night of his
return to Friedrichsruhe enjoyed an
exceptionally long and profound sleep.
Count Herbert Bismarck, who went to
Friedrichsruhe with his father, returned
to Berlin the same night, as the Emperor
had express wish to see him at the
birthday reception Saturday. Yesterday
he was at court 1t is not improba BILE
that Count Herbert may be appointed
am bassador to Austria Hungary in room
of Prince Reuss, resigned The nomina-
tion depends upon Count Herbert's com
plete submission to Caprivi Austro-
Hungarian politicians would hail his com.
ing as happy outcome of the reconcilia-
tion signifying the cessation of Prince
Bismarck's efforts to discredit Austria
Hungary as an efficient ally of Germany.
The Fremdenblatt of Vienna says:
=" The reconciliation of Emperor William
and Prince Bismarck brings near to
Austria again the STATE smen who con-
cluded the alliance The Pesther LIoyd
expresses frankly the hope that the
political developments in Berlin will
uemonstrat. the entire abandonment by
Germany OF Bismark's policy of keeping
two irons in the fire; of intriguing with
Russia while allied with Austria Hun
gary. with Caprivi's rejection of Bis
marck'- conception of an ally,n adds
the Lloyd. 1.-THE last false drop of blood
would be purged from Germany's foreign
policy. An inspired pamphlet entitled
" Prince Bismarck and the Hamburger
says the Prince regrets this
hostile conduct towards newspaper men
in the days of his power. He has learned
to know them better since his fall, he
says, and thinks now that they ought to
be used more in the state service,
ln.the diplomatic branch, as
has been done with great subjects in the
United States, France, Italy and Eng
land.
A subcommittee chosen to select a site
for the Bismarck monument has decided
in favor of the Koenigsplatz, in front of
the new Reichstag building.
