birthday celebration.
Expressions of the Press.

London, March 31.-The Times has
this dispatch from Berlin:
With but few exceptions the news
papers publish leaders on Prince Bis
marck, accompanied by poetical ef-
fusions. They carefully refrain from
any utterances calculated to injure the
feeling of the German people.
The new president and vice-presi-
dents of the reichstag, having formally
announced their election to the en-
peror, he has invited them, in addition
to the customary audience tomorrow,
to attend the imperial Bismarck ban
quet His majesty then remembered
that Baron Buel Borenburg and Her
rem Schmidt and SPAIN, respectively
the president and vice-president,
represent parties who refused to con-
graduate Prince Bismarck and owe
their election to that fact, but the
invitation was not rescinded. The
emperor's action reads like a grim
satire. At first it was regarded as a
first of April joke. The national press
cannot refrain from expressions of
malicious joy at this turn of events.
Herr Schmidt is radical He ex-
tricated himself from the dilemma by
declining the imperial invitation.
The socialists have now abandoned
all idea of raising discussion in the
reichstag on the emperor's telegram to
Prince Bismarck after the emperor
learned of the reichstag's action in
refusing to delegate Herr Won Levet-
zow to convey the congratulations of
the house to the prince
According to the estimate of the
postal officials, over 1000 parcels and
10000 letters and post cards have al
ready arrived for Prince Bismarck.
Vienna dispatch to the Times says
that twenty-five members of the
reichsrath sent a joint telegram to
F'riedrichsruhe congratulating Prince
Bismarck on the anniversary Of his
birth and as being "the founder of
the Austro-German alliance"
The semi-official North German Gaz-
cite concludes a very sympathetic
article with the words:
AS in the years before Prince Bis
marck's work, so now also large
section of our people stand between
hope and fear, asking themselves
whether they are in the right path,
and whether it will lead to a new rise
and happy end, or to decline and ruin
We have, however, an incalculable adj
vantage in having learned of our
strength. Every hour we can COM
fort ourselves by looking back on the
past which gives us the assurance
llldI 81 iOHS Jul lIlOuSnlS anu dC-
tons are German and elevated, moth
ing can destroy neither an envious
external enemy nor an insidious ex-
ternal foe. For all the services Prince
Bismarck has performed for his king
and country, before the magnitude of
which services the tongue is dumb,
we thank him today with the sincerest
gratitude of our deeply moved hearts
The address of the Bundestrath, af-
ter expressing that body's satisfaction
at having co-operated with him. pro-
ceedS:
Thanks to the policy of your
serene highness, the alliance of the
princes stands firm against the de-
composing elements which never
weary in the attempt to destroy the
work of glorious tirne. The Bundle
srath knows it is wisfrOaH patriots in
the conviction, that it was your far
seeing vision that enabled the foun-
dations of this success to be laid.
The federal council will continue to
further completion the imperial edi-
flee on lines contemplated by your
serene highness, thereby discharging
one part of the debt due to the states
man like the achievements of the first
chancellor"
