The crowd responded, and then gave
three tremendous ''hochs'' for Prince
Bismarck.

Bismarck led the cheers for the en-

given. After this the prince, leaning
over the balcony, apologized for the
smallness of his house, saying that he
regretted he was only able to enter

EMPEROR WILLIAM
is expected here to visit Prince Bis
marck tomorrow, and a brilliant mill
tary suite will accompany him. A re-
view of number of troops will also be
held here in honor of Prince Bismarck.
Prince Bismarck received the depu-
tations today despite the unceasing
warnings of his physician, Dr. Schwen-
niger, and of his secretary, DR.. Chry-
sander, and he will practically cele-
brate his eightieth birthday with the
whole of the German people. 1t is to
be hoped that the consequent fatigue
will not prove too much for his age
and remaining strength.
Although the death of his faithful
life partner last fall remains as a
shadow on his declining days, Prince
Bismarck is by no means devoid of
his old-time humor and sarcasm, as
numerous replies of his to deputations
awaiting on him prove. One of the
most cutting but just remarks of that
kind was when he said, in answer to
Hattering mot about the enormous
evidence of sympathy shown in adj
vance of his birthday and the crowds
anxious to come: Hundreds come
because of my birthday thousands be-
| cause of
THE UMSTURZ BILL"
Nevertheless the desire to testify
their love and admiration is sponta-
neous and general throughout the
country deputation of the COM
manding generals of the German army

bearers of good wishes and likewise of
a fine gift. Splendidly mounted adj

| club will also give a banquet at the
Kaiserhof April /, at which the euIogy
| on Bismarck will be pronounced by
DR.. Boetticher, the leader of the
party, and each participant will re-
| ceive a memorial medal.
The Conservatives will have a "com-
mers" at the Feen Palast at the same
| time, and the Bismarck committee
| will have a similar celebration, but
even on larger scale, on the evening
of his birthday. The principal cele-
| bration, however, will have nothing to
| do with politics. The grandest of all
| promises to be the one arranged to
! take place around the vicinity of the
| Germania monument in the Nieder-
wald, on the Rhine which will be par
tictpated in by representatives of &c
cities in the Rhenish district, men be-
longing to every shade of political
| opinion. The central part of the cele-
! bration will be at the foot of the monu
ment itself, on which occasion Prof.
Quicken, of Giessen university, will de-
liver the Grafton. grand commons

and mountain peaks near by, together
with great fireworks on the Rhine, will

In the black forest similar rejoicing
will occur. All the SUBMITS of the
mountains in that region will show
bonfires in the evening of March 81.
In Hamburg, the municipal celebration
outside of that arranged for by the
! German university students will be
very extensive. A political committee
| has assumed charge of a "commers"'
to which everybody is invited, on the
| night of March 80. On the night fol-
| lowing there will be great fireworks
and on the night of April 1, a torch
! light procession, in which 5000 will
| share, is to proceed to F'riedrichsruhe
| The society of arts and sciences will
| undertake procession to Friedrichs-
ruhe on the birthday morning and
serenade the prince, and on April g
| the same society will witness, at a
| specially reserved performance in the
| Stadt theater, a patriotic drama and
festival play, written for the occas-

be Illuminated on April 10. Lubbock,

! bration, consisting of an address sent
| by the senate an ivation by the citi-
zens in an extra meeting, a general
"commers'' and illumination of the
! town. At noon, on April l, a special
celebration with speeches, etc, will
| occur on the main streets.
Munich, too, will celebrate. A mus
zeal will be given on March 81, in the

| airy citizen, a general celebration of

Nominations, decorations, sending of
