Birthday Anniversary,
That Made the Heart of the Old Ex-
Chancellor Peat Faster.

Thousands Took Part.

ly cold night ever, thing was white with
boar frost, this morning, but the bright
sunshine soon caused this to disappear
Detachments of students poured into
Amuehle and crowded special trains are
arriving from all parts, SO coming from
Hamburg alone.
Bismarck, in receiving Rector Pfleid-
erer, said that the visit of the rector and
his associates still bestowed upon him the
proof that he was not vanquishcd. If he
had been overcome his enemies did not
pursue him. The prince told delegate
from the Technical high schools that his
name was now being used as battle cry
of a general national movement in
Germany. He accepted the situation and
hoped his name would be the banner
which would reunite all the friends of the
Empire to preserve the achievements of
1866, which like the ancient ordeal of the
German tribes, settled who should lead
the others to battle for reunion.
nSeven thousand students with six bass
bands took part in the demonstration, to-
day. After the reception Bismarck went
to his room and rested two hours. All
the afternoon the scene outside the castle
grounds reminded the onlooker of a
crowded fair.
About o'clock, when the hullabaloo
was just beginning to abate, special trains
from Hamburg with the Electoral Associa-
tion and several other societies drew into
the station and unloaded a throng of fresh
shouters.
Bismarck received the Hamburg depu-
tiae hal lot ~
their spokesman, after remarking on the
magnitude of the demonstration, said
"Today's events will enable you to realize
that national gre titude is felt in Ger
many"
torchlight procession was formed at
s o'clock. kilograms of congratulations
were received from Emperor Franz
Joseph, Count Kalnoky, King Humbert
and Premier Crispi.
The Prince stood half an hour at the
foot Of the terrace watching the torchlight
parade. All the torch bearers cheered
him and occasionally group from some
Hamburg singing society would slacken
the pace and give him a stanza from the
new birthday song. About $50 women
carried torches and most of them threw
bouquets to the old chancellor Green
and red lights were burned throughout
the Saxon forest. The park was wildly
illuminated as the procession moved along
the road under the trees and around the
pond. The weather could not have been
more propitious. There was a clear sky
and a magnificent moon.
Before retiring for the night, Bismarck
appeared again on the veranda and
tba n lod oil for fhoir tip1pocc uo boppoJ
Indulgence for retiring SO early. Age and
infirmity, he said, were his excuses. Amid
cries of sympathy. cheers, bursts of music
from bands, and the shouts of "Auf
Wieders Ehen, the old man waved his
hand and went into the house with
Schweninger and Count Herbert. The
excursonists were taken back to Ham
burg in IA special trains.
