BERLIN, April 6.-After the excitement
which marked the enthusiastic celebra-
ton of Prince Bismarck's s0th birthday,
the end OF the week appears unusually
tame. So far as the fetes are concerned,
it is generally agreed that they were fully
worthy OF the occasion and were q COM
plete success. Incidentally IL developed
that Prince Bismarck received on Monday
last 8, $50 telegrams with total Of 277. .697
words. In addition he received $1,000
letters and about lis. 900 postal cards. In
spite of the excitement on Monday and
Tuesday the ex-chancellor got over his
exertions very we'll and remained in fair
health. although he appears to have aged
q great deal since the death of his wife.
During the hustle of the Bismarck birth
day celebration, the birthday of Prince
Hohenlohe, who was born March 81, 1919,
was almost overlooked, but the emperor
and empress took pains to do him honor.
They both paid the chancellor a lengthy
visit, and the empress presented him with
q splendid bouquet of roses and the en-
peror made him n present of a gold cigar
case adorned with the imperial monogram
In diamonds.
At the dinner which their majesties gave
Mt the castle on Monday last IN honor OF
the birthday of Prince Bismarck, Prince
Hohenlohe sat at the right hand of the en-
peror, who conversed cordially with hlm.
Il was noticed on Prince Bismarck's
birthday that Berlin displayed more flags
and decorations than upon the occasion
of Emperor Williams birthday.
In commercial and financial circles the
chief interest has been directed to the
extraordinary assembly of the German
commercial congress. held on Tuesday.
A speaker contended that the existing do
precision In husbandry must be ascrIbed
to the reaction which naturally followed
the exceptional rise in the value OF agri-
cultural property. It will be also main
tanned that commerce and industry had
as much right rs husbandry to speak on
the question of currency and an auti-bi-
metallic resolution was adopted. The BIZ
metallists in the meanwhile were not idle,
and Count Burbach, supported by AZ of
| his colleagues, introduced a motion In the
upper house of the Prussian diet, urging
| the government to require the chancellor
| to lose no time In taking steps calculated
to lead to an International regulation of
| che currency question, with the final OBJ
| ject of securing International bimetallism.
| The motion was referred to tho COM
mittee.

tion. He has just returned from Egypt

The exports to America from Germany
| for the quarter ending March 81 have
| risen enormously. The chief articles af-
fected are chemicals. cloth garments
| plush, velvets, silks, glassware. hosiery,
lace, woolens aud sugar. Confidence in
the reestablished prosperity Of American
commerce appears to have returned. The
exports from the Berlin district are
nearly trebled and those OF Frankfort
doubled. The imports only showed n
slight increase.
Henry Willard, who Is now residing In
Vienna, has been in Berlin this week, and
simultaneously comes the announcements
