With these ex ceptions, the members of tbe Congress appeared to be in most excellent health and spirits. After some un important routine business incident to the occasion had been carried out, Bismarck arose and made a brief ad- dres*, in the course of wli ch he cast a retrospective vieAV over the Avork performed by the Congress, alluding to its importance as regarded the in fluence of its deliberations and decis ions on the future Avelfare of Europe. In closing his address, the Prince requested the members to proceed at once to sign the document they had agreed upon, stating that there AA’ere seven copies, oue for each of the Governments represented at and tak ing part in the Conference. Immed ately, all of the distin guished delegates, except Prince Gortschakoff, who remained sealed in his Council chair, proceeded to the room occupied by the Secretaries. In this room the members found seven copies of the treaty spread out on a large tabic, signing these dupli cate document? Avas a somewhat tedious ceremony, as it occupied nearly an hour, the delegates mean while exchanging mutual compli ments aud distributing photographs to each other Avith their respective ^auto graphs.
