BISMARCK'S RETIREMENT.
Various Contradictory Rumors Regarding
the Chancellors Movements.

copyright 1889 by the New York Associated Press.
BERLIN, Feb. 16.-The semi-otficial press,
after initiating and fomenting excitement
over the rumored intention of Prince Bis
marck to retire from public life, now turns
round and says that the agitation has a
purely artificial origin. The hints thrown
out regarding his successor were obviously
designed to influence the nationalists to
return TO the absolute admission to the
chancellor, against which recently they
have been inclined to rebel. But apart
from illusions of the seni-official press,
several coincident facts have pointed to
coming eventful changes in the govern
ment. The public discussion of
the probable results of dimin-
nation OF Prince Bismarck's funct-
ions has not produced that general
alarm, which it was hoped it would create
so instructions appear TO have been given
TO the chancellor's organs to minimize the

THE Gar Of Russia is an enormous eater.
He takes from two TO three pounds OF solid
meat and an average Of two quarts Of
champagne for luncheon, with a dinner big
in proportion. Considering the Empercr's
habits it is not surprising TO learn that
among those attached TO the Imperial court
are thirteen court physicians and FIVE court
surgeons, two ocuiists, one dentist and four
other doctors whose particular line is not
