An Article That Creates Something OF a
Sensation-Its Features.
LONDON, Jan. 30.-The Contemporary
Review contains an article entitled "The
Bismarck Dynasty - which bears no
signature, but which contains internal
evidence of having emanated from high
authority. 1t is probable the article will
create a segsation. 1t opens with re-
hinder that the chancellor cannot live
long. The American minister at
Berlin, the article says, FIVE years ago
remarked with surprise that Prince Bis
marck was preparing no one TO succeed
him. The chancellor waking suddenly to
this idea set about developing Count
Herbert Bismarck. The article frankly
auudes to Count Herbert's youthful
brawls, to his later intrigueS &nd 10 his
embodiment with woman at Bann,
from which he had to slash his
way with his sword, re-
ceiving an ugly cut or the head.
Bismarckiau contempt for women accen-
tuated by this and another intrigue after
the war is represented as the origin of all
that is baneful in the BiSmarckian char
acter. 1--WE shall have no more petit
coats meddling in politics now, was
according to rumOr the exclamation of
exultant Count Herbert on the death of
Emperor Frederick.
The article effects to dismiss as mon-
strous the msinuation of the opponents of
Prince Bismarck that the chancellor
MEDITATED THE DEATH
of Emperor Frederick when he insisted
that Frederick should leave San Reno for
Berlin, but depicts the idea that his as
cendancy would be menaced by Empress
Frederick as a nightmare to the chancel-
Tor, who further saw by Frederick 5 re-
fusal to discuss state affairs with Count
Herbert that it was useIss to hope Herbert
would ever be Frederick $ chancellor.
Who could therefore be surprised, the
writer asks, had Prince Bismarck wished
the cancer to make haste?
In reference to the dismissal of Minis
ter Puttkamer by Emperor Frederick,
the article asserts Prince Bismarck was
unable to make up his mind whether it
would be wiser to resist or to CRAFTY
Frederick's desire, even after advising
him to sign the decree of dismissal, and
says that directly the decree was pub
Ished the chancellor told the emperor
HE HAD GONE TOO FAR.
The entries in Emperor Frederick IS
diary amply confirm this statement.
The writer of the article asserts that
the compact with the present emperor
was the only reason Prince Bismarck had
for opposing the marriage of Princess
Victoria to Prince Alexander of Bat
tenberg.
THE article is hardly less sparing in It's
criticism of the present emperor. 1t
calls him an apt pupil of a cynical mas
ter who found no difficulty, moral or
sentimental in treating his mother IN the
fashion after Count Herbert s own heart,
and in treating the prince of Wales with
such discOurtesy as to prevent any inter
course between them The article goes
freely into the Geffcken and MOrier
affairs, but reveals nothing new.
THE SUPPOSED AUTHOR.

Contemporary Review s'The Bismarck
Dynasty, - is attributed to Sir MorreU
Mackenzie, and is supposed to have been
