BERLIN, April 3.-It Is semi.olIicially
stated that Bismarck has not resigned
simply asking for long leave Of absence
in consequence Of oVerwork. The resig.
nation refers to the Chancellorship, and
not to the Ministry OF Foreign Affairs,
which Bismarck desires to retain. Sev.
eral statesmen are named as his successor
as Chancellor, either for good or for the
year Of his leave. At first Camphausen
appeared to have the best chance, but
now Prince Reuss, Prince Hohenlohe
and Count StSlberg are named as the
most likely candidates. The question Of
aranting Bismarck prolonged leave re.
mains undecided, but the rumors OF n
difference with the Emperor are un-
founded.
