ARRANG ENENr FOR PRINCE DIsMARck's TRIr

ARRANG EMENT FOR PRINCE BlsMARCK's TRIP;
| Berlin, April 5.-There was great diff
Guilty in arranging the plan for the. admin
| istration Of affairs during Prince Bismarck's
absence. The plans seem to suit the Reich
stag. Nobody is satisfied to see the Pre-
mership suspended in air for a year. The
Reichstag may also resent the proposal to
have the Government represented so long
| by under-otficials. The many rumors circu-
| lating about Bismarck's motive rather
increase the obscurity.-" His health, OF
course, Is breaking, and his friends have
long been pressing him to retire. His
wife and his own family are particularly
pleased that he is to have respite.
and both they and his enemies hope this is
the first step towards his final retirement.
| 1t is, indeed, doubtful whether he will ever
return to the personal and active manage
ment Of affairs; but while this view is gen.
orally accepted, his reasons for retirement
| by means Of crcuitous furlough are I'M
! known. 1t is only supposed that the En-
/ peror, in the disturbed state Of Europe,
wishes to retain the power OF calling Prince
| Bismarck back again at any time in case OF
emergency. Even II Prince BlsmarcR's
retirement is complete the change will be
chiefly personal, and nobody will be intro
/ duced.

/ MINISTER OF FOREIGN AFFAIRS.
CoNsTASTJSoPLE, April 5.-The Monte
negrins' delegates had an interview to-day
with Safoet Pasha, Minister Of Foreign At
fairs. They maintained all their previous
demands, including the ceSsion OF NicSico,
| Cont Chean, and kolatchin, and requested
OF Safoet Pasha "a categorical reply, either
Of acceptance or refusal. The Minister re-
sponded that the Montenegrins ought to
yield these points. He stated that he could
not give definite reply to-day, as it was
NECESSARY to examine the questions again.
The Montenegrins then informed Safoet
] Pasha that they were instructed to maintain
1 fine demand absolutely, and would. leave
Constantinople during next week in the
event OF receiving definite refusaf.EL
