of "hochs'' the imam OF blood and iron,' the
master mind of Germany for many years,
set foot I'm Berlin to-day. He came to ce-
ment the reconciliation which has taken
place between the Emperor and himself
after four years of bitterness. Prince Bis
marck's reception was an ovation, such
only Germans can give TO "a statesman they
love The Prince was evidently pleased
with the plaudits of the multitude. Since
the visit of Count Won Moltke on Tuesday
he has seemed to be a changed man, and
has been laughing and joking in his old
manner. He also has been able to take
long walks in the grounds OF his castle,
and has personally answered number of
the many kilograms of graduation
which have been pouring in upon the Prince
from all quarters since the announcement
was made that he had become reconciIed

tasted at an ealy hour this morning at the
castle In Friedrichsruhe. and the family
and servants were delighted when they
noticed that the Prince had donned a mill
tary uniform for the first time in several
years. The Prince seemed pleased at his
appearance, for the handsome uniform
made him look like a giant when COM
pared with the frock coat of civilian attire
which he has been in the habit of wearing
recently. When Prince Bismarck left the
castle this morning he was accompanied by
Count Herbert Bismarck and Doctors
Schweniger and Chrysander. The whole
neighborhood of Friedrichsruhe turned out
to cheer the veteran statesman as he de-
parted for Berlin, and six beautiful young
girls, dressed entirely in white, presented
the Prince with a handsome laurel wreath
inscribed: "A Happy Journey" These six
young girls also carried baskets OF flowers,
and they preceded Prince Bismarck's party
to the railroad station, strewing the road
with flowers, amid the vociferous cheering
of the immense crowds which lined the
route and did their utmost to make the
veteran sta tesman feel that he had a large
share Of the hearts of the patriotic Ger
mans. Prince Bismarck wore the uniform
of the Magdeburger Yellow Cuirassiers, the
corps he loved so we'll, and whose uni
form he has been so frequently pictured
as wearing. Over his uniform the Prince
wore a heavy fur overcoat, and upon his
head was the traditional German army off,

pleased with the honors extended to him.

bled broke out into loud cries of "Auf
frohes Wiedersehen.'
