GERMANY'S WILDRUM0RS
THE EMPRESS SAID TO BE BOUND
TO GUST BISMARCK.

Another Acute Crisis Expected Soon
Other Rumors Assert that the Chan
cellor Has Been Granted Satisfactory
Concessions by the Emperor-The Q
Story of the First Conference.
BERLIN, April ct is stated to-day that
Prince Bismarck had abandoned his opposi-
ton to the marriage of Prince Alexander
of Batteuberg and Princess Victoria, having
gained certain other concessions, and that
all differences between the Emperor and
Prince Bismarck are now settled.
The National Zeitung, in an article ON
the crisis arising from the proposed mar
riage of Prince Alexander and Princess
Victoria, says; ut is certain that the Chan
cellor has so far overcome all difficulties
1t is equally certain that ne will retire from
office if they recur without his being able
to surmount them,"
Referring to the intended promotion of
Prince Alexander to the rank of General,
the National Zeitung says: Tho Prince
was formerly lieutenant in the Prussian
army. 1t makes no difference that when
Prince of Bulgaria he was honored with the
title of General The bravery and military
skill which the Prince showed in the Servo
Bulgarian war do not suffice to secure his
promotion in Prussia from the grade of
Lieutenant to that of General"
WOULD TALK WITH THE CANNoN's MOUTH.
ST PETERSBURG, April An inspired
article in the Grdjdonine says that the plot
to secure Prince Alexander's return to Bull
garia is one to which Russia ought to reply
in the mountains of AfghanStan.
ANOTHER CRISIS EXPECTED.
The political crisis will probably become
acute again shortly. The Empress is de-
termined to prevail, even if Prince Bis
marck has to resign.
The Emperor in decorating Dr. MacKon-
ze to-day said: when you came the first
time ] confided in you, as you were recon-
mended by my German physicians. / have
since had occasion in my own expe-
| rience to value your capability. / am
glad to bestow upon you this order in
thankful acknowledgment of your merits
and in memory of my accession to the
throne" The Emperor then shook hands
with Dr. Msckenzie and with DIR. Howell.
Freiherr Won Roggenbach National Lib
eraD, formerly Minister of the Grand
Duchy of Baden, dined with the Emperor
this evening. The fact is a subject of
much comment.
The Neue Erie Presse, of Vienna, revives
the report that Crown Prince William is
the chief opponent of his sisters marriage
to Prince Alexander, and that Prince Bis
marck has acted in his behalf.
BISMARCK AND THE EMPRESS.
LONDON. April 9.-The story that has
| gone abroad To the effect that Prince Bis
marek was displeased at the presence of the
| Empress at his first two official conferences
with the Emperor is declared to be un
true Prince Bismarck has himself
related the circumstances of the first
visit substantially as follows: The
Emperor was asleep and the Empress re-
quested him to be kind enough to remain a
! snort time with her. After half an hours
most friendly conversation the Empress
awoke her husband, conducted Prince Bis
marck to him and left them alone together.
An address has been prepared for public
signature in Leipsic, expressing the ear
nest wish of the people that Prince Bis
mark shall not retire, and also expressing
confidence that the Emperor will find means
to avoid such an irreparable loss to Ger
| many.
