Berlin, Aug. 1.-The Neuste Mach

FriedTicnsruhe, which says:

broken down by the worry and vigils of
the past few days. Professor Lenbach
says he has not been allowed to paint
picture Of the deceased. and a cast

Besides. the coffin containing the re-
mains of Prince Bismarck, has been
closed somewhat hurriedly.
Strange rumors on that subject are
current, and also as to the cause of the
emperor changing his mind and going
TO FREDERICKSBURG. These rumors are
puzzling the papers, which, however,
continue to print the warIneSt eulo-
gies of the deceased, though the social
istic Voerwarts accuses Prince Bis
Nnarck of working always in the inter-
Nest 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.
A sensation was created during the
afternoon by the emperor who tele-
graphed countermanding the Bismarck
obsequies which were to take place in
front of the reichstag building and or
dering instead that mourning services
be held in the Emperor William Memo
rial church. The trades people and ar
lists who had taken orders in connec-
ton with the former were badly dis
appointed.

about the wood, congregating in the

memorial post cards with portraits of
the deceased prince and pictures of the
castle. Many Of the people wore mourn

sUnder the trees 60 men of the Thirty

uniforms with yellow facings and bur
