Prince Henry stepped out from the group
surrounding him and walked to the carriage

shook hands with Prince Bismarck and

permitted everybody to see inside.

receive his guest. wore as a special mark OF
honor the uniform of the Bismarck cuiT3s-

utmost heartiness, and kiss pressed on tho
old mans cheek sealed the reconciliation be-
tween the Emperor and the greatest OF his
subjects. Prince Bismark's gravity Of de-
meanor during his reception by His Majesty
was much commented upon. The ex-Chan-

Herbert Bismarck, and the whole party re-
tired toa room. where the King of SaxQny
and a number of the German princes were
awaiting their coming. All saluted Prince
Bismarck as he entered the room.
The Italian Ambassador remarked to
another diplomat that to-day meeting be-
tween the Emperor and the Prince was a
historical event of the first magnitude.
