Bfsmarck's Death Made a Profound
Sensation Everywhere.
The death of Prince Bismarck has pro-
duced deep impression throughout Italy.
King Humbert, General Pelloux, the pre-
mier, and Admiral Canevaro minister of
foreign affairs, sent dispatches of condo
lence to Emperor William, and many prom
inent people are leaving cards at the Ger
man embassy.
Signor Crispi sent a telegram from Ma
pies to the Tribuna, eulogizing Bismarck
and declaring that Germany should rhow
respect for the deceased statesman III the
same way Great Britain did for Glad
stone.
adds Signor Crispi, Europe has lost two
political giants, two men of elevated senti-
ments, two men of mighty talent"
The news of the death of Bismarck made
a profound sensation in Vienna and every
where evoked regrets almost as great
those expressed in Germany.
The Austrian and Hungarian papers pub
lish long articles reviewing with admira-
ton the career of THE colossal statesman
whose death sends a shudder through Eu-
rope
The Fremdenblatt says:
1--WE may have loved or hated him, but
We cannot deny extraordinary greatness"
The Neue Erie Presse says:
1T will be difficult to imagine the world
without Bismarck.
The Neue Wiener Tageblart says: THE
Germans have lost their greatest man since
Goethe"
Patrie at Paris, but though his retire
ment for nearly a decade from power has
softened their feelings toward the iron
chancellor, the Paris papers are unable TO
hide some expressions OF bitterness All
refer to the Ems forgery.
The 10 IT says:
1T appears to Frenchnen that some Of
their defeats disappear with him..
bo dPS DahatE
Though his death need not awaken
painful remembrances. we recognize Eis
political genius as that of the implacable
enemy of France.
The Liberte declares:
Bismarck was less baneful to France
than to Germany. He stopped the forward
march of civilization and inaugurated an
era of hatred which, sooner or later, must
cause rivers of blood to flow"
All the French papers print long obit-
uaries.
The newspapers at s.. Petersburg are
unanimous in lauding the greatness and
eminent genius of Prince Bismarck.
The Novoe Vremya says he was the most
gifted diplomatist of all time.
The Berlin press comments yesterday are
still rather scant. The Vossische Zeitung,
concluding a long editorial, says:
For US and the German people the man
has died who had an uneXamp!ed share in
the re-birth of the German empire. in the
splendor of our Imperialism and the glory
of the German name. AT his bier We do
not remember that which sometimes sep
arated him from us, but that which united
every German with him. So long as he
stood in the midst of parties, his picture
darkened or lighted by partisan favor or
hatred, we might vacillate in our minds,
but to the dead we render our thanks and
our admiration. The German people sor-
rows for the loss of its most eminent
statesman, and 1t will show itself worthy
of the mighty deeds of the past by pre-
serving the structure of German unity
strong and healthy through the strength
and light of freedom"
The Tageblatt says: "A statesman of
uncomfortable will power and tremendous
boldness, Bismarck was necessary to force
the idea of German unity from out the
ruins of centuries into new and forcefuI
strength and splendor. but the presupposi-
ton for realizing this mightiest problem
in later European history was and remain
ed Prussia and the Prussian people,"
