Discouraging Report

Berlín, Sept. 27. - Htíw Alers, an anarchist who ia a close friend of the Bismarck family, arrived here frotn Kissingen Tuesdíiy evening. He gives an nnexpectedly discouraging report of the prince's condition. The most formidable of Bismarek's maladies, he Bays. has been acute pneumonía. The disease was not discovered by the physicians until Bismarek's condition had become critical. The physieians and family ar: exceedingly anxious and watch Bistnsrck conatantly, as, although convalescing, he ia very weak, and qnite liublo to a relapse, which must prove fatal. According to Horr Alers' report the old man seems like a wreek. His splendid frame has shrunk and his fiesh has fallen off until his clotbes hang in foldfl. He appears as if fully a head shorter than before his sicltnesü. The princess is strongly opposed to removing hi:n to Friedrichsruhe. He, however, is anxious to go home. Tuesday evening it was possible f (ir the first time to obtain the text of Emperor William's telegraphic corlespondence with Priuce Bismarck. From Guens the emperor sent on Sept. 19 the following message to Kissingen: "1 have, to my great regret, only just learned tliat your hdghnesa has gone recently through a soniewhat serious illness. Attiie same time 1 have received the news, thank God, that you are now uiaking stoady progress toward recovery. I beg to express to you rny great satisfaction with this encouraeing velopment. Being anxious to assist in thoroughly oompleting your recovery and establishing your health, I beg your higlmess in view of the unfavorable climate and location of Friedrichsruhe, as well as Varzin, to take up your quarters for the winter in one of my castles in central Germany. After conferring with my court marshal I shall counminioate to your highness the name of the castle most suitable to your pnrpose." Prince Bisniarck's reply to this dispatch was: "With, the deepest respect 1 ttiar.k your majesty for the gracious expression of your sympathy with me in my illness and your satisfaction with the more recent improvement of my health. I thank your majesty no less for your gracious desire to assist in furthering my recovery by providing for me a residence under the most favorable climatio conditions. My respectful gratitude for your niajesty's gracious intents is in no way diminished by the conviction that should it be Qod"s vill I regain my health, my recovery would be quicker within my family circle and in the surroundings to wliich I have been so long accustomed. "My complaint being of a nervous nature, I share the opinions of my doctor that ïf I pass the winter in my present surroundings and occupations, my mode of life will be most likely the nieans of promoting recovery. I agree with the doctor also in the opinión that the disturbance of my nervous system, which might result from a sojourn in strange surroundings and new associations, such as would be designated by your majesty's gracious wishes, is in view of my advanced age, to be avoided. Dr. Schwenine will take the first opportunity to put in writing these opinïons, which are with him." The Neuste Nachrichten in Munich eays that on Monday Bismarck sent 10 dispatches to the emperor and that the hopes of the Germán people for a reconciliation are likely to be fulfilled. Little else is discussed in the newspapers.
