PRINCE BISMARCK'S FUNERAL.
SERVICES TO BE HELD IN BERLIN-THE
EMPEROR VISITS FREDERICKSBURG
A SUDDEN CHANGE OF PLANS
CAUSES RUMORS.

Berlin. Aug 1.-The funeral service in honor
n, the late Prince Bismarck will take place on
THURSDAY morning in the Emperor William Me-
,,orial Church. The Federal Council. members
~ the Reichstag and Of the Prussian Diet and
the state and municipal authorities will be in
vted.
A sensation was created by the Emperor this
afternoon. He telegraphed countermanding the
bismarck services which were to take place in
'front.' of the Reichstag Building. and ordered
instead that mourning services be held In the
emperor William Memorial Church
The trades people and artists who had taken
.,aors in connection with the former were badly
disappointed
the United States Ambassador. Andrew d.
ubi,e has received the following message from
prince Herbert Bismarck:
Eve thank Your Exceency most devotedy
.or tho warm sympathy which the President, in
tho name Of your Government and people.

"PAceive at the same time my heartest thanks

bismarck are being organized throughout the
country.

the last person permitted 10 look upon the
hodv Of the former Chancellor before the coffin
was closed
STRANGE rumors on that subject are current
and also as 10 the cause of the Emperor chang
ing his mind and going to Friedrichsruh. These
rumors are puzzling the newspapers which.
however continue TO print the warn,est eulo-
r,es OF the deceased. though the Socialist "vor-
waerts" accuses Prince Bismarck Of working
always in the interest OF capitalism. adding
that whenever he dealt with moral and intel
,cctual factors he failed. while the Polish press
declares Prince Bismarck was the greatest
enemy Of the Poles.
The "Neueste- Nachrichten" to-day publishes
a dispatch from Friedrichsruh which says:
Prince Herbert Bismarck is quite broken
down by the worry and vigils Of the past days
Professor Lenbach says he has Tot been
allowed TO paint picture Of the deceased. and
a cast Of his features was not taken.
AS indicating how we'll the deceased felt on
Thursday, 1t is said that when going to bed at
II so o'clock. he said:
