All Interest Centers in the Death of
Prince Bismarck.
Berlin, Aug. 2.-The news of Prince
Bismarck's death, which became gen.
orally known only through special edi-
tions of the papers,, produced profound
sorrow, as SO sudden realization of the
fears of his demise was not expected.
Several papers this morning published
special articles with mourning borders,
expressing, in feeling terms, the ma.
tional sorrow, and dwelling on the bril-.
liant and immortal services of the
prince to the fatherland, his heroic
greatness and his truly German charac.
ter. Sorrowful sympathy over Prince
Bismarck's death is manifested in
many ways. The news is constantly
discussed in public places, and feel
ing of sadness prevails among all classes
OF people. Particulars of the last mo.
ments of the prince and other cicrum-
stances attending his death are eagerly
sought. Many private houses show
flags at half mast. Secretary of State
Won Buelow will return from Siemmer.
