there by the prospect of seeing Emper-
or William pay a tribute of respect to
the dead. They wandered about the
wood, c~ongregated in the beer gardens
and sent hundreds of memorial post
cards with portraits of the deceased
prince and pictures of the castle. Many
of the people wore mourning and hun
dreds came on bicycles. Under the
trees so men of the 31st infantry from
Allona and the sergeants of Prince Bis
marck's regiment from Madgeburg had
arranged their messes. The sergeants
in their White uniforms and yellow
facings and FURNISHED helments fur
nished a guard, which was on duty on
the terrace facing the garden behind
the castle. The latter remained strict
ly closed. A little side gate was opened
| occasionally to admit messengers with
kilograms and wreaths, who were con-
stantly arriving.
The emperor and empress of
| arrived here at 6 o'clock this morning,
accompanied by Baron o Buelow, the
minister of foreign affairs. The m
press was in mourning. The members
of the late Prince Bismarck's family re-
ceived the imperial party, and the I'M
peror on alighting kissed Prince Her
bert Bismarck on both cheeks and
shook hands with Count william Bis
marck. hi party then entered the
castle, passing through detachments or
the 31st regiment of infantry, which
were drawn up along the road and up
to the castle gate.
Berlin, Aug. 2.-United States ambas-
sador Andrew White has received the
following message from Prince Herbert
Bismarck: 1--WE thank your excellency
most devotedly for the warm sympathy
which the president, in the name of
your and people, caused TO
be expressed to our family through
you. Receive at the same time my
neartiest thank for your personal con
d~olence."
Memorial services in honor Of the late
Prince Bismarck are being organized
throughout the country. The Imperial
chancellor, Prince Hohenlohe, was the
last person permitted to look upon the
remains of the former chancellor before
the coffin was closed. Strange rumors
on that subject are current, and also
as to the cause of the emperor chang
ing his mind and going to Friedrichs-
ruhe. These rumors are puZznng the
papers, which, however, continue to
print the warmest eulogies of the de-
ceased, though the socialistic Noerwarts
accuses Prince Bismarck of working al
ways in the interests of capital, adding
that whenever he dealt with moral and
intellectual factors he failed.
The Polish press declares Bismarck
was the greatest enemy of the Poles.
Berlin, Aug. 1.-The Neuste Mach
richten to-day publishes a dispatch
from FREDERICKSBURG which says: Prince
Herbert Bismarck is quite broken down
by the worry and vigils of the past few
days. Professor Lenbach says he has
not been allowed to paint a picture Of
the deceased, and a cast of his features
was not taken. 1t seems sure Emperor
William will go to FREDERICKSBURG, ow-
ing to the attitude of Prince Herbert,
who not only has not needed his majes-
tvs desire to have the remains of his
father buried in Berlin, but who seems
TO have refused Professor Lenbach per-
mission to paint a portrait of the de-
ceased, as the emperor desired.
Washington, Aug. 9Th state de-
partment to-day received the following
dispatch from Ambassador White at
Berlin: prince Herbert Bismarck and
the entire family of the late ex-prince
chancellor join in heartfelt thanks to
the president and the people of the
United States for their deeply felt ex-
pressions of sympathy"
Berlin, Aug. "A sensation was

ing the Bismarck obsequies, which
were to take place in front of the

The tradespeople and artists who had
taken orders in connection with the
former were badly disappointed.
The crowds on each side of the road
were composed of Hamburgers, who had
been arriving by every train. Foresters
from all foreign countries, vendors OF
cards, photographs and medals swarm,
ed about the outskirts of the crowds
and walters from the neighboring beel
gardens, bearing trays of empty or filled
glasses, circulated on all sides and die
a big business among the thirsty. There
were only a few gendarmes present
but they were perfectly able to maintain
order.
