The Differences Between Frederick
and HtsmaFPE.

fBy Anglo-Americsn cable 70 the Dispatch.l
BERLIN, April l3.-Semi-oflicial ac-
counts in the press regarding the DIFF
ferences between the Emperor and
Prince Bismarck are mt variance. The
following facts are known in the highest
circles: At the close of the recent in
teryiew with Bismarck the Emperor in
timated his intention of inviting Prince
Alexander OF Battenberg to Berlin 10
confer an order upon HIM, aud to APP
point him 10 a command CORE
spending to the rank he formerly
held in the German army. The
Chancellor protesting against such a
step the Emperor declared that he would
abandon his intention. The matter was
regarded at Charlottenburg as settled,
and there was great surprise when,
few DAYS later, Bismarck forwarded
memorandum 70 the Emperor stating at
length his reasons for opposing the
betrothal, and saying that he must resign
if the Emperor did not accept his advice
The Emperor at the interview on
Wednesday declined to permit the Chan
cellor to resign. There is nov abso-
lutely no foundation for the hints APP
pearing in the press that the betrothal
project may at no distant date be again
brought forward Such a contingency
is out of the question in view Of the
character of the persons concerned and
the political situation.
The reports that Prince Hohenlohe
and Count Won hatfield, Minister to
England, have been sounded as to their
willingness to succeed Bismarck, are un-
true. The Emperor has not for mo-
ment contemplated the possibility OF the
Chancellor resigning.
The recent conference between Count
Herbert Bismarck and the Crown-Prince
William in the waiting-room Of Potsdam
station had nothing to do with the ques-
ton of the betrothal of Princess Veto
torla to Prince Alexander, but referred
10 the estates of the imperial family.
This matter has been arranged to the
entire satisfaction OF all concerned.
