CAPT. PHILIP HOME.
Battleship Texas Tied Up at the Brook
Ign Navy Yard.

New York. July 31.-,Back from the
coast of Cuba, battle-scarred and
D0Wder-stlined and punctured in spots
with her formidable guns bristling in
the sunlight and her officers and crew
laughing and cheering like school boys
on a holiday trip, the United States
battIeship Texas. Capt. J. w. Philip in
command. slowly stained up the lower
bay from Sandy Hook this forenoon
on her way to the Brooklyn navy yard.
For a brief period she remained at
anchor off TOmpkinsville, S. l., to re-
ceive the mail and dispatches. and as
! soon as these were got on board, the
vessel proceeded slowly to her destin-
alton amid salutes Of greeting from the
thousands of people who crowded the
decks of the outward-bound excursion
boats.
Solicitations of welcome came from all
sides. Every vessel that boosted a
worth. The piping toOts of little tug
boats mingled with the deep-toned
roars from the ocean and coastwise
steamers, and the usual calm OF the
Sabbath was %supplanted by a veritable
pandemonium. The sailing vessels
were also in evidence; and the silent
dipping of the colors aboard the pleas
ure yachts, while not SO demonstrative
as the shrill notes from the steamers,
was equally effective and the man in
charge of the steam siren on the Tex
as worked like a beaver replying to the
hearty reception.
The cheers of the excursinoists and
passengers on the numerous ferrybOats
was taken up by the people who
watched the black painted warship
from the New York and Brooklyn
shores and the brave sailors responded
with waving caps and handkerchiefs
as they stood on the main deck
dressed in white duck suits which
stood out in bold relief against the
superstructure which still wore that
dark color which is now known as
Uncle Sans war paint"
Capt. J. w. Philip was on the bridge
directing the course Of the Texas, and
by his side stood his executive officer,
Lieut.. Com. G.. f. HARDER. Among
the officers who congregated on the
quarter deck was one by whose inven-
tive genius the death-dealing destruc-
tive power of the two 12-inch guns in
the turrets was increased threefold,
Lieut.. F. J. Haesler, of whom Capt.
Philip made special mention in his re-
port of the destruction Of Admiral
Cervera's fleet off Santiago.
When the Texas reached the navy
yard the dock was crowded with blue
jackets and marines, who greeted their
fellows with feverish enthusiasm and
cheers.

BISMARCK IS DEAD
THE IRON CHANCELLOR PASSED
AWAY SATURDAY NIGHT
AT FREDERICKSBURG.
The Man Of Blood and Iron at One Time
Master of All Europe-His Unscru-
pulous Yet Sincere Character-A
Comparison to Cromwell-His I'm
.finching Spirit.

Berlin, July 31.-Prince Bismarck
died a little before II O'Clock last night.
The end was peaceful. 1t appears THAT
the ex-chancellor's death was not pre-
cipitated by sudden complications, but
was rather the elimination of chronic
disease, neuralgia of the face and in
Examination of the veins, which kept
him in constant pain, and which was
borne with the iron fortitude which
might have been expected.
The beginning Of the end dates from
July 20, when the prince was confined
to his bed. He had been several days
PROSTATE before an inkling of his de-
cline reached the world. Although
Prince Bismarck was extremely low on
Wednesday. he so rallied on Thursday
that he was wheeled to the dinner table
to celebrate with his assembled family
the fifty-first anniversary of his we'd
ding. He never for a moment believed
himself in danger until the last day.
On Monday he ordered some new pipes
and smoked one on Thursday. then
%conversed brilliantly on the topics of
the day, discussing the trial and SEN
tence of NJ. lola and the peace negotia-
lions between Spain and the United
States. Count de Rantzau, the princes
son-in-law. read to him from a ews
paper an obituary notice of himself, at
which he was greatly amused.
He perused the papers daily, and this
was II reason why the family depre-
ciated the alarming reports as to his
health. The French press showed IN
abated enmity when discussing his pos
sible death. The Temps compared his
end with that of Gladstone, remarking
that though the British statesman had
failed in his policy and had compromis-
ed his party, he died regretted by all
on account of the grandeur of his moral
influence; whereas, Prince Bismarck,
whose life had been successful, would
perish execrated by many, even in
Germany, and inquire grimly: What
sort Of a funeral will be given him by
the millions of socialists who have been
Matched by his tyrannical laws?"
The Lokal Anzeiger publishes a dis
patch from FREDERICKSBURG, saying that
DR.. Schweninger was present when
Prince Bismarck died, having arrived
from Berlin at 1920. The prince was
unconscious for several hours before
the end came and his breath almost
failed repeatedly. He died without a
struggle.
