BERLIN July 30.-PrInce flismarcic died
shortly before 11 o'clock tonight. lie passed
away peacefully ,
Deulils of the death of Prince I3ismarck
are obtained with difficulty , because of the
lateness of the hour , the Isolation of the
castle and the strenuous endeavors of tIme
attendnats of the family to prevent pub-
hicity being given to what they consider
private details.
The ( loath of the ox-chancellor comes
as a surprise to all Europe. Dcspitc tIme
family's denials , there was an unilerctmrrent
of apprehensioti when the sinking of the
priimco was first announced , inspired more
by what the family left unsaid than by any
information given. But wimea the daiiy' bui-
letins chronicled Improvements In the
prince's condition , detaiied his extensive
bills of fare anti his devotion to his pipe ,
anxiety was somewhat allayed.
The reports were deemed to be a rope-
titian of the alarm that I'rincc llismarck
was in extremis , which hati been oft repeated -
peated in the past. All the Saturday papers
in Europe dismissed Bisntarck with a pam-
graph , nothing important , while his condition -
dition was completely overshadowed in the
English papers by the condItion of the
Prince ofVales' knee.
It appears that the ox-chancellor's death
was not precipitated by sudden comphica-
tiomma , hut was rather the culmninatioa of
chronic disease , neuralgia anti inflammation -
tion of the veins-which kept him in con-
stant patti , that was borne with the iron
fortitude which might have been expected.
hiciiiiiiiiim of the Emm.J.
The beginning of the end dates from July
20 , when the prince was confined to his bed.
lIe had been several days prostrated before
an inkling of his decline reached the world.
On Friday Dr. Schweninger said : "For the
past nine days I have hardy changed my
clothes , having been traveling nearly all
the time between Berlin and Friedrichs-
rube. "
no thext declared that his patient's lungs ,
stomach and kIdneys were sound , in fact that
his whole gigantic frame wan sound. "As
yet , " satd Dr. Schwenioger , 'thero is no
calcification of the blood vessels , but tile
pains In his face and legs worry him and
shorten his sleep. "
Dr. Scimweninger added this verdict :
"With his extraordinary robust nature he
may , excluding complications , reach ninety , "
During Dr. Schwenimlgcr's brief absence
from Friedrichsruho , Dr. Chrysender wa
in constant attendance upon the patient.

a pedigree of five centuries and bad always
been prominent anti noted in the military
and diplomatic circles of Prussia. The father
of l3ismarck was a captain in the Royal
Guards of Prussia ,
In 1832 tIme young Bismarck entere(1 the
university at C-ottingen and studied juris-
prudence. The succeeding year ho matricu-
hated at the University of I3eriin and was
admitted to the bar in 1835. lie then performed -
formed his military service and while in the
army made au exhaustive study of the
science of husbandry and an inquiry into
the condition of the agrarian vopulation of
the hclng.lonm. In after years tlmeso researches
served him weil , In 1847 he made his actual
entrance into Politics and statecraft as a
delegate to thp United Diet at Berlin , Ho
was the representative of the nobility of
Saxony and at once , in vigorous speeches ,
declared his determined opposition to all
time proposed liberal reforms. At the same
time lie violently denounced the tendency
toward democracy and defetlded time divine
right of monarchs. When the revolution of
isis broke out ihlsmarck was the champion
of time royal nobility and became time practical -
tical leader of time Junker party , the younger
adherents of time classes against the masses.
In 1849 and 1850 , as a member of the Prussian -
sian Diet , ho announced his life plan , the
unification of Germany , In these years ho
also argued vehemently for an increase of
the powers of the monarchy. For the next
imine years ho held numerous diplomatic
posts and in 1859 he was made ambassador
to St. Petersburg. lie was sent to this

minister flnl minister of foreign affairs of

for the increase of the army and the construction -

tiea for the great events which culminated
in 1870 with time lmumiiiation of France.
ICing William made him a count in 1865
and then arose the Schieswlg.hlolstein at-
fair. In June , 1866 , the Diet at Franktort
declared war against Austria. Ilisalarek
took time field himself and in six weeks Austria -
tria was crushed at the battle of Sadowa ,
Sclmleswig-llolstein was secured to Prussia
and Austria was eliminated as a ( herman
imower and Prussia became the bead or
the North Ceenman Confederation ,
Fronm this hour lJismarck was the Idol
of Prussia. The king , the nobility ead the
people heaped upon him honors and adu.
lation , Proinco after province was an-
flexed to Prussia anti I3ismarck's ( iream of
Germany was coming true. By the treaty
of London in 1867 he averted war with

IliNlimmirek mmmiii lVillimmmt.
Nothing was more impressive in tIle cbs-
log years of the century than the reconcii-
iatlon of I'rince hJisnIarek , the creator of
the German empire , amid the young emperor.
The event was tile climax of the great career -
reer of ilismnrck and a fitting exenmpiiflca-
tion of the emperor's independepce of
thought. The estrangement between the
kaiser and time old chancellor began five and
a half years ago , some little time after \Vil-
helnl ascended the German throne as the
successor of Ills father , tile Etnporbr Fred-
crick. For nineteen years Uismarck had
been the practical ruler of the empire. The
old kaiser , Wilheimn I , grandfather of the
present emperor , hail acquiesced in all the
pleas and suggestions of l3ismarck , whon3
he recognized as the prophet of German
unification.
Whoil the younger Wilhelm came loto
power he determined that his policy should
ho the one to direct German affairs and not
the policy of another , even though the
other was the mighty l3iemarck. llismarck
from his youth had been an uncompromising
and implacable foe of democracy in all
forms. He also opposed all efforts of tIle
church ' of Rome to obtain power or influence -
once in Germany , aild years ago lIe had
brought about the expulsldn of the Jesuita
from Prussia. But times hai changed and
in 1890 the socialistic party had grovn and
multiplied In Germany to such an extent
that its leaders were bold enough to ask
concessions and privIleges i'rom even the
emperor himself. Democracy anti radicalism
were rampant in the land , and Emperor
William , with youthful hope and audacity ,
was eager to meet the socialistic demands
in a friendly spirit.
UmiIeidtimg W'iIl.
Though conditions had altered , the iron
will of l3ismarck had not changed , He interposed -
terposed llis personality and combated the
young emperor's notions of reform. lie
threatened to retire from offlce and leave
the empire to its fate. lie had made similar
threats in 1869 anti 1877 , but the old em-
pcror had submitted to all the plans of his
chancellor and Bismarck remained. But the
gramidson was not to be bullied. Bismarck's
threat had no effect. Youthful confidence
was more thun a match for time mature poli-
ticiaa mId soldier. I3ismarclc left Berlin
Ilumfliated and cast adrift becaimse ho would
not bow to the advancing socialistic thought
of Germany ,
In addition to the differences on account
of socialism and democracy , there was the
disposition on the part of the emperor to
make peace with the pope , anti at least
bring tile papacy to a condition of neutrality
so for as German Interests were concerned.
Timis was as counter to time wishes of the
veteran chancellor as the fd a of nlaking
conccssiot's to the revolutionary spirit of
tIme laboring classes , If tile first emperor
had lived It is probable that ho would lmav ,
essayed the very task arranged by his
gramldson. i3lsmarck might have agreed to
concessions for tIme emperor he had crowned ,
but for the younger man ho had not that
affection , He looked upon him as an impetuous -
petuous and fickle youth to be chided and
advised ,
Triple Alliance.
Prince I3ismarck took a prominent part
in connection with the triple alliamico between -
tween Germany , Austria and Italy , which
is understood to be directed against a possible -
sible ahhlaae between Russia nnd Francd
against the German powers.
The publication of tile late Emperor Fred-
erick'B diary in September , 1888 , threw a
new light upon some ot the imperlai trans.
actions in vlmich Prince Ihismarck lied been
engaged.
Much tmsonsation was created both in her-
many athl elsewhere by the revelation of
the diary respecting the authorship of the
idea of German unity. The late emperor
claimed to have proposed this policy and to
have experieIcel great ( lirnculty in pcrsuad.
ing Prince , Uimarck of its itracticability ,
The reported resignation of Prince ills-
marck as Prussian prinlo minister and
cimancellor was announced In February.
1890 , but did not actually occur until March
17 of that year , when divorgencies of opinion -
ion between him and the emperor led to his
retirenment , Ills departure from Berlin was
made time occasion of a great popular denl-
onstration.
Since then Prince flisrnarck remained at
his country seat and many of his utterances
hardly displayed that command over his
feelings which aught have been expected ,
especially in time earlier months after his
retirement , Considerable friction existed
between him and the emperor , and after
his visit to Vienna In June , 1892 , on the
occasion of Count Herbert Bismarcks marriage -
riage with Countess lloyes , the lteichsan.
zeiger significantly published the circular
instructiomms semmt to the imperial reimme-
sentatives abroad in May , l8O , just after

and of today , " and deprecated the attachment -
