HIS FAMILY WERE AT THE BEDSIDE President McKinley Sent a Mes- sage of Condolence. THE PRINCE’S CAREER Bismarck died on Saturday evening last at his castle near Friedrichsruhe. Details of the death are still difficult to obtain, ow- ing to the family’s indisposition to make public events which they consider purely private. Several accounts have been given, each differing from the others. One has it that the end came painlessly and quickly; another, that there was a terrible death struggle. The Berlin Nachrichten gives the fullest details of the last days and death of Bis- marck. It says: “On Tuesday evening an improvement set in in the prince's condition, in which repeated changes for the worse haf oc- curred since October last, and he was able to appear at the table and take part in the conversation, drinking champagne and afterward smoking several pipes, which he had not done lately. “His condition was so satisfactory that Dr. Schweninger, after the prince had gone to bed, left with the intention of returning on Saturday. His condition was compara- tively satisfactory throughout Friday and Saturday morning. He read the Nachrich- ten and conversed on politics, particularly referring to Russian affairs. In the fore- noon he took luncheon, grumbling jocularly at the small proportion of spirits in his drinking water. Then a sudden change for the worse occurred, in consequence of an acute attack of pulmonafy oedema, and in the course of the afternoon he frequently became unconscious. His Last Words. * “Recently, besides periods of unusual mental clearness, the prince had had in- tervals of drowsiness, falling into long, sound and beneficial sleep, on awakening from which he would be completely re- freshed. “On Saturday evening grave symptoms appeared. Death came easily and pain- lessly. Dr. Schweninger was able to some extent to lighten the last moments, wiping the mucous from the patient's mouth and enabling him to breathe more freely. “The last words Prince Bismarck uttered were addressed to his daughter, Countess von Rantzau, who wiped the perspriation from his forehead. They were, ‘Thanks, my child.’ “The whole family were assembled at the bedside at the time of his death, and Dr. Schweninger, Dr. Chrysander and Baron and Baroness Merck were also pres- ent. As no breathing movement or pulse Was perceptible for three minutes Dr. Schweninger declared quietly and simply that the prince was dead. “Dr. Schweninger telegraphed the news to Emperor William in Norway. “The prince lies as he used to sleep, in an easy position, with his head siightly inclined to the left. The expression on his face is mild and peaceful. It is remarked that his head remained warm for an un- usually long time. “In acordance with Prince Bismarck’s wish he will be buried upon the hill op- posite the castle in the vicinity of Hirsch- gruppe.”” Another Account. A dispatch from Berlin states that when Dr. Schweninger arrived at Friedrichsruhe rallway station shortly after 10 o'clock Sat- urday evening, Count von Rantzau was waiting with a carriage, and the physician was driven furiously to the castle, wh2re he found the prit:ce already unconscious. According to an unofficial account the death agony was prolonged. The prince died without taking leave of the family. For fully an hour he suffered terrible diffi culty in breathing, and his groans were fearful to hear during the death struggle. He had been pleced in a sitting position and propped up with cushions in order to reliev2 the frightful spasms in breathing. His pow- erful constitution fought to the last. The family, gathered in an adjoining room, was plunged into the very anguish of grief by the moans from the death cham- ber. The despair was intensified by Dr. Schweninger’s absence, although medical art was unavailing. ‘The only consolation was that the prince was unconscious during the last two hours. Dr. Schweninger was in time only to afford some relief in the final moments. = Flags at Half-Mast. Berlin looks hardly different from its wont, except that flags are at haif-mast. The first to go to the position yesterday was the flag over the chancellerie, which was lowered+ by the personal order of Prince von Hohenlohe, the imperial chan- cellor. Then followed the flags at the for- eign office and the various public buildings. United States Ambassador White at noon yesterday sent the following dispatch to Count Herbert von Bismarck at Friedrichs- ruhe: “On behalf of the whole American people, whether official or unofficial, and of what- ever birth or descent, I tenaer congratula- tions upon the mighty carcer nuw ended, and assurances of the most sincere sym- pathy for yourself and’ your mourning family.” Pastor Dickie, in the course of his ser- STORAGE.

At the office of the mareschal of the court it was said last evening that Dr. von Lucanus, chief of Emperor William's civil cabinet, is hurrying home from Hortz, where he has been spending the summer, with a view of putting himself into com- munication with the Bismarck family and Dr. Schweninger, in order to arrange for | the funeral, which will probably be delayed until the emperor's return. His Last Wil. It is significant that Prince Bismarck di- rected an interment near the colossal bronze monument, presented by the loyal Anhalt representatives—a noble stag tri- umphant over a pack of yelping dogs. The remains of the countess will be transferred thither also. His last will and testament was deposited early yesterday morning at the Schwarzenbach court house, near Fried- | richsruhe. On the family retiring Count Herbert personally locked his father’s pri- vate rooms, taking the keys along with him, and fssuing strict orders to exclude every one. Ingress to the schloss at Fried- richsruhe yesterday was denied to ail, ¢ cept under special order from Count Hei bert, the head of the family. Two of the late prince’s foresters, in a uniform of gray and green, watch the remains. Dr. Schweninger thus far has acted for | the family regarding the funeral. Until late yesterday afternoon no arrangements had been made or orders given. Probably everything will await instructions from the emperor. Neither a plaster cast nor pho- tographing the remains has been allowed as yet. : Yesterday the foreign office notified all iplomats accredited to the imperial court, as well as all German representatives abroad. At all the embassies and legations the flags are at half-mast. The news of the alarming change in the condition of Prince Bismarck reached Em- peror William at Bergen, Norway, late Sat- urday evening. When the emperor was in- formed of the prince's death he was deep- ly affected and ordered his yacht to return immediately. The Hohenzollern, with the emperor on board, will reach Kiel this evening. The flag on the yacht is flying at half-mast. Burial at Friederichrruhe. It was reported in Berlin late last night, but the report is not yet confirmed, that Emperor William has telegraphed Count Herbert his desire to have a worthy public funeral at Berlin, and that in reply Count Herbert, after thanking the emperor, de- clined the offer on the ground that his fa- ther long ago expressed a distinct wish to be buried at Friederichsruhe. The emperor also wired Prof. Begas to take a mask of Prince Bismarck’s face. As | the professor was absent Madame Begas sent an assistant to take a mask in gyp- sum. Frau ven Kotze, a relative ef the family, and Count von Henckel arrived a Friederichsruhe last evening. Over 500 tele- ams of condolence and many beautiful hs have already arrived. [1 may d that Bismarck once expressed his wish to be buried at Friederichsruhe in the fcllowing words: “i like best to think of my coffin under the topes of the Germaa oaks, this height, | whence the eye surveys the gre which Freiderichsruhe is emdvsomed. Count von Posadowsky-Wohner, Prus. sian minister of the interior, and Priv. Councillors Jonquideres and Hauss arrived at Friederichsruhe at afternoon, and at 6 Hamburg. It is unde clock proceeded to ioud that the re- t evening and will remain in the castle unul the mau- soleum is ready fo. their rece,tiou. Large crowds of sympathizers gathered throughout the day outside the entrance, where visitors’ books have been left fur the numerous callers to inscribe condolences. The Emperor Frinc‘'s Joseph has tele- graphed condolencgs to the family and to Emperor William. EUROPE LAMENTS HIM. Bismarck’s Death Made a Profound Sensation Everywhere. The death of Prince Bismarck has pro- duced a 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 Na- ples to the Tribuna, eulogizing Bismarck and declaring that Germany should rhow respect for the deceased statesman ir, the same way as Great Britain did for Glad- sto) y the death of these two statesmen,” 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 as those expressed in Germany. The Austrian and Hungarian papers pub- lish long articles reviewing with admira- tion the career of “The colossal statesman whose death sends a shudder through Eu- rope.” The Fremdenblatt says: “We may have loved or hated him, but we cannot deny extraordinary greatness.” The Neue Frie Presse says: “it will be difficult to imagine the world without Bismarck.” i The Neue Wiener Tageblatt says: “The Germans have lost their greatest man since Soethe.” GODe Mortuis nil nist bonum,” says La 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. he Jor says: It appears to Frenchmen that some of their defeats disappear with him. "The Journal des Debats says: “Though his death need not awaken We recognize his political genius as that of the implacable enemy of France.” The Liberte deciares: “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 St. 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 unexampled 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 it 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 unconquerable will power and tremendous boldness, Bismarck was necessary to force the idea of German unity from out the ruins of centuries into new and forceful strength antl splendor, but the presupposi- tion for realizing this mightlest pfoblem in later European history was and remain- ed Prussia and the Prussian people.” THE PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE. Co eys Expressions of the Sorrow of the American Peo; By direction of the President the follow- ing dispatch was sent iast night to Andrew D. White, United States ambassador to Germany: WASHINGTON, D. C., July 31, 1898. ‘White, Ambassador, Berlin: The President charges you to express, in the proper official quarter, to the bereaved German nation end to the family of the deceased statesman the sorrow which the government and people of the United States feel at the passing away of the great chan- cellor, whose memory is ever associated with the greatness of the German empire. ADED, Acting Secretary. BISMARCK’S CAREER. Achievements of the Man Who Made a an Empire. The passing of Germany's “gran? oi¢ man,” Prince Bismarck, closes the greatest chapter in the history of the empire he constructed from numerous petty princi+ palities. As a man often gains a certain respect in the world from his family con- nections, so citizens of @ country are fre- quently held in esteem according to the im- portance of the nation to which they be- long. By solidifying the German states ine to one of the leading powers of the wor! Bismarck promoted the standing of the German wherever he might live. No reigns ing monarch ever wielded more absolute Power in his reaim than did Bismarck while chancellor of Germany, and no one ever worked more loyally for the promo- tion of his sovereign’s interests than did he, Whatever may be the criticisms of a mills tary nation, Germany's position -on the map of Europe made it necessary that s should be a great military camp if she were to be a power among her neighbors. Gere many us she exists today is only a realiza« tion of the dream of Bismarck when en¢ tering upon his life's work. So strong did this far-seeing man bullé that the impetuosity of the rather errati¢ emperor now ruling Germany has not pere ceptibly affected the structure. It is to be Seen how long the magnificent product of statesmanship will survive under the co: trol of those who cannot claim to be his Peers in the abilities that marked his life as phenomenal. Otto Edward Leopold von Bismarck came into the world on “April fool's day and in announcing his birth in the newspapers hi of the family gratulations. Berl is parents requested friends “fp dispense with their con- e@ was descended from th old warlike Bismarcks, who scorned te fe. Vote themselves to anything except hunt- ing and farming when they were not fight- ing. His great grandfather, who fell inone of the battles of the Seven ¥. slain as many as 154 red de and his toasts were generally accompanied by trumpet blasts and carbine volleys across the table from a section of his troop- ers. The chancellor was supposed to be the very image of this stormfui ancestor. While his father’s family had attained noble rank as early as the middle of the fourteenth century, his mother was a commoner. and she brought to the family a plentiful supply of brains. It has been said that his father represented the principle of body and his mother the principle of mind to a remarka- ble degree. When he was six years old the young Bismarck was placed in a boarding school at Berlin, and when twelve years of age he passed to the high school. Here he studied for four years and left with such a certifi« cate of excellence in scholarship as was very rare in Germany sixty years ago, and is seldom given now. It entitled the young student, when seventeen years old, to pass to the university University Life. He went to the Hanoverian University at Gottingen, remaining there a year and a r in one year, | half, reading, dueling and drinking in the way of the place. He was twice fined for heaving a bottle out at the window and smoking in the street and he was twice sentenced to the university jail, o1 ten days for having acted as se duel. At this university he bec fast friend of some American with one of them wagered that G would be united in twenty years, showing that even then he had dreamed of his life's work, thought he be the man to Lew empire. His university life was an unruly one, and in 1833 he left for Berlin, to the relief of the university authorities, for whom he had made much trouble. When ie left the uni- versity to continue his studies at Berlin, he ¥ as under sentence of imprisonment At Berlin Bismarck passed an examina- tion entitling him to enter the civil service of the state, and he acted as official re- porter to one of the Berlin tribunals. At this time at a court ball he was presented to the Prince of Prussia, whom he was af« terward to raise to the rank of emperor He mixed much with foreigners, especially , the English. He wrote English very well. Bismarck served his one-year voluntee® service in the Sharpshooters’ Battalion of the Guards at Potsdam and became much attached to a military life. After that he attended lectures on agriculture, in order to fit himself for the life of a@ country squire, which appeared to be in store for him. From the age of twenty-four to thir- ty-two Bismarck spent his time farming, hunting, soldiering, carousing, studying, acting as local deputy and istrate, mak- ing occasional visits In the world. He trav- eled in Ergiand and France. He was thirty-two years cld when he married, and about this time he begun to take an active interest in politics. Bismarck was ultra conservative in his views and always ar- gued for the rights of the crown. On one oceasion he argued that ail great cities should be swept from the face of the earth, because they were the centers of democracy and constitutionalism. In the Diplomatic Service. 51 he entered the diplomatic service and was intrusted with the legation at Frankfort. In 1859 he went to St. Peters- burg as ambassador, and in 1S62 was ap- pointed ambassador to Paris, and that same year he became minister of the king's house and of foreign affairs in Prussia. After the war waged by Prussia and Aus- tria against Denmark Bismarck saw an op- portunity for carrying out his long-cher- isned project of making Prussia the real head of Germany. Aided by an alliance with ltaly, in a few weeks’ campaign Aus- tria and her allies were defeated and Aus- tria consented to retire from Germafty. Bismarck was created a count in 1865, on which occasion he received from the king of Prussia a Valuable estate in Luxembourg. He lost no time in turning to account the victory gained by Prussia over Austria and in advancing his favorite scheme for the unification of Germany. Provinces and kingdoms were at once annexed. North German Confederation. In 1867 he organized the north German confederation, which comprised twenty- two states, representing a population of 29,000,000, the King of Prussia being at the head of this powerful confederation. It was then Bismarck received as a reward for his services the post of chancellor of the confederation and president of the federal counc! In the Franco-Prussian war Bismarck ac- companied the king throughout the cam- paign, and after the capitulation ot Paris it was he who dictated the terms of pe and on January 18, 1871, he had the faction of seeing King William of Prussia crowned emperor of Germany. In the same month he was appointed chancellor of the German empire and soon thereafter raised to the rank of prince. Two attempts were made on the life of the chancellor, the first in 1866 and the other in 1874. ‘The second attempt on his life was by a man named Kullman and re- sulted in his being slightly wounded by a shot which grazed his right wrist. A state- ment was made by Bismarck to the effect that Kullman was Connected with the clerical party. In Prussia Bismarck has done much to establish a system of state socialism in- tended to counterwork the schemes of the social democrats. In foreign policy his aim was to strengthen the Austro-German al- Ind at -liance and to secure the czar against any temptation that France might offer for the formation of a Franco-Russian alliance against Germany. Private Life. Prince Bismarck retired into private life in March, 1890, when the young emperor, who evidently feared being dwarfed by the great chancellor and wanted himself to rule Germany, conferred upon him the title of Duke of Lanenburg. After his retire- n.ent it became known that deep personal differe:ces had latterly arisen betw: himself and the emperor, and that the ex- chancellor felt an aggrieved party. He ex- pressed his opinions of everything in the press and elsewhere. He was, in 1891, in- duced to stand for the reichstag, to which he was elected, but in the next year he arnounced that he would never again hold office. But he taiked freely in tnterviews for newspapers, and cid not hesitate to criticise the government. In 1804 the prince lcst his wife, whom he had married befora he had become a prominent character in the world. A complete history cf the life of Bismarck would be no less than a history of Euro- pean diplomacy during half a century. In touch with the men who wielded the power in his neighboring states, he was always ready to take advantage of a favorable alliance to carry out his purposes to threat- en war or to play his cards for peace a the one or the other course might best aid in the advancement of the empire. He was long regarded as the man who kept the great armies of Europe from clashing. He was an imperialist always, and a ruthless foe of the people who sought for a greater veice in the affairs of government, or de- sired to limit imperial power through con- stitutional restrictions. He was positive In his opinions 2.4 alweys fought in the open. | His diplomacy was characterized by an outspoken manner that often surp: rep- resentatives of other governments. His Policles were at least consistent and for the upbullding of the great German empire, ©
