After the cheers for the emperor had
been given by the students and the
throngs beyond the hearing of the speak

one among the students, who struggled
wildly to obtain possession OF them.
The countess thereupon entered the house
and brought forth fresh supplies of flow
ers and garlands which Prince Bismarck
for a long time threw down to the forest
of outstretched white-gloved hands.
finally throwing wholesale entire bouquets
and wreaths which were torn to pieces
and distributed among the studens.

of the house where the floral tributes
were exhibited, the students began pick

gone. The beer mugs were also taken
by the students as souvenirs.
During the evening there was great
torchlight procession, the Sachenwald was
illuminated and Prince Bismarck and his
family watched the proceedings frcm the
terrace.
Replying to the address of the profess
ors of the universities this morning
Prince Bismarck said that, though he had
been treated with much hostility by
political parties, it must not be taken too
tragically. 1t was the way OF the world
TO fight, he added, and the fact that the
people stil attacked him he concluded
that his thoughts were not dead.
Groups of socialists CentriSts and Poles
took it i'll for him for calling them the
enemies of the empire, but he could sus
tain the truth of this remark by saying
that theoretically they all might be well
disposed towards the mpire-provided
the empire was such as they desired.
Continuing, the prince said that it was
TO be regretted that the socialists had
not secured the second presidency of
the reichstag, because that would have
shown that the affairs of the socialists
were not ripe enough for resolute action.
The empire with its growth of practical
facts had to be reckoned on, and it must
be the duty of all to preserve it.
The feature OF tonights celebration was
a torchlight procession in which several
thousand persons took part. When Prince
Bismarck stepped from the castle and APP
peared on the terrace laundering yolley
of cheers ascended from thousands of
throats. Herr Semeler in the name of the
city of Hambu delivered an Grafton in
which he lauded the prince and his servi-
ces to Germany and expressed the hope
Unau ne would 1--we LOT many years 10
come. The prince in his speech return
ing thanks referred to the great import
ance of Hamburg for the maintenance
and consolidation of Germany rela-
tions with countries beyond the seas. He
dilated upon the importance of the var
ious steamship lines for the conveyance OF
emigrants and others across the ocean
declaring that the departure OF Germans
from Hamburg and Bremen for America
did more to maintain the good relations
between Germany and America than offic-
ial representation. Finally Bismarck
withdrew, wishing his admirers a hearty
goodnight.
II am tired out and am too old to re-
main up longer, he said.
