London, January THE usual quiet OF
New Years day was disturbed by report
that Prince Bismarck was dead. This re-
port, so emphatically made by the Even
ing News, and shouted throughout London
by the newsboys. created deep sensation
in the minds OF The general public and
great excitement in the newspaper circles
until denial was received by the Reuter-
Telegram company. Nest OF the Londoners,
however, Went TO bed last night III the be-
lief that Prince Bismarck was dead. as tho
dispatch from Hamburg was only published

Prince Bismarck and would certainly have
telegiaphed had the rumor been true.
Al the British foreign office il was also
said no news OF Bismarck's death had been
received, and the rurnor was discredited
there.
A denial has also been received here
from Berlin. The feeling Is one OF pro-
found reticence. The actual source OF the
report is not known, but the rumor was
readily credited in view Of the fact thar
the ex-chancellor has for the past lori
night been in bad health and worSe than

was III positive danger.
Inquiries made by both telegraph aud

A dispatch from Hamburg says the ru-
NOR OF Prince Bismarck's death originated
In Berlin and was received in Hamburg
with ekepticism. which inquiry ut Fried
richsruhe proved TO be justified. There Is
no doubt, however. that Prince Bismarck's
health has been rudely shaken Ia the last
few days owing 10 his insomnia. which Is
due to want OF open air exercise, and tho
agony which he suffers from the g0ut. Dr.
