BISMARCK THE MAN.
Intimate Glimpses of the Great North
German Statesman.
My first glimpse of Bismarck,
says Andrew D. White, in Cen
tury, was obtained during a jour
ney through middle Germany just
after the war bet ween Prussia and
Austria. Arriving at the Kissin
gen junction, we found a crowd
gathered outside tin1 barriers, and
all gazing at a railway carriage
about to be attached to our train.
Looking toward this, I recognized
the face and form of the great
North-German statesman.
He was then in the prime of
life—sturdy, hearty and happy in
the presence of his wife and chil
dren. The people of the station
evidently knew what was needed,
for hardly had he arrived when
waiters appeared, bearing salvers
covered with huge mugs of foam
ing beer; thereupon Bismarck
took two of the mugs and poured
their contents down his throat in
immediate succession, evidently
with great gusto. A burly peas
ant just back of me, unable longer
to restrain his admiration, soldo
quizeti in a ueep, siow, guttural,
reverin'rating rumble: “A-a-aber
er sient seh-r-r-r gut aus.” (Bur
he looks very well.) So it struck
me also. The waters of Kissin
gen had evidently restored the
great man, and he looked like a
Titan ready for battle.
My personal intercourse with
him began 11 years later, when,
as chancellor of the German em
pire, ho received me as minister of
the United State's. On my enter
ing his workroom, he rose, and it
seemed to me that I had never seen
another man so towering, save
Abraham Lincoln. Beside him
were his two big black dogs, the
Reischunde, and, as he put out his
hand with a pleasant smile, they
seemed to join kindly in the wel
come. The conversation ran, for
a time, upon commonplace sub
jects, but finally struck matters of
interest to both our countries.
There were then, as ever since, a
great number of troublesome
questions between the two na
tions, and among them those re
latiug to Germans who, bavins:
gone over to the United States
just at the military age, had lived
there merely long enough to ac
quire citizenship, and had then
hastened back to Germany to en
joy the privileges of both conn
tries without discharging the du
ties of either. These persons had
done great harm to the interests
of bona fide German Americans,
and Bismarck evidently had an in
tense dislike for them. This he
showed then and afterward; but
his tendencies to severity toward
them were temjiered by the min
ister of foreign affairs, Baron vor,
Bulow, out' of the most reasonable
men in public business with whom
I have ever had to do, and father
of the present chancellor, who
greatly resembles him.
Remarkable Diplomat.
Viscount Ilayashi, Japanese
ambassador to London, is one of
the most remarkable diplomats
ever credited to the court of Si .
James. The licitish foreign office
is much disconcerted by the frank
ness with which the marquis, in
talking to newspaper men, dis
cusses the relations between his
own country and Russia. lie trav
eled extensively in the country
some years ago and on bis return
to Japan introduced many indus
trial reforms. Since then he has
served Japan in most of the Ku
ropean capitals. Dapper, well
dressed and having perfect com
mand of English, he is one'of the
most popular men in dirdomatn
and government circles./
