Resignation-The Lion and the Lamb
The Berlin Labor Conference, Etc.
LONDON, March 21.-News from Ger
many and comments upon the portent-
GUS events there, continue to occupy the
almost exclusive attention OF the
London press. Few believe that Caprivl
will remain permanently in the
Chancelory. That he is a man who
could conduct the high Office with great
credit to himself and safety to the
nation is agreed on all sides, but the
general belief is that the Emperor
would prefer younger and more
aggressive character-one more in
sympathy with his own feelings-at
the head of affairs. The fact is believed
to be that the Emperor desires in
essence, though he can not in appear
ance. to get rid of all obstacles to his
absolute control of the government.
Whoever may permanently become
Chancellor, Wilhelm III. will shape the
policy of the nation without being
obliged to modify his actions on the ad-
vice of any minister.
The Socialists are passive for the
time being, waiting for the announce
ment of the new governments policy,
but their leaders say they expect no
concessions from any government OF
the present Emperor.

on the occasion of accepting Prince Bis
marck's resignation, the Emperor de-
clares that. acceding to a request made
on the 18th inst, he grants the Prince
permission to retire, hoping confidently
that in the future, as in the past. the
Fatherland will profit by the Princes
counsel, energy and faithful devotion.
The Emperor had hoped that the neces-
sity to think of such separation would
not arise during his lifetime. He re-
garded it as the most providential dis
pensation of his life that he had had
the Prince by his side. What the
Prince had achieved for Prussia and for
Germany and what he had been to him,
his house and his predecessors, he
would ever preserve in grateful
memory. The rescripts TEEN with
terms Indicative of affection and Of adj
miration for the services of the late
Chancellor. The Emperor warmly
thanks the Prince for his invaluable
services with the army as a military di-
rector in the time of Emperor William
l. and the present day, and adds that he
knows he will be at one with the senti-.
ment and desire of the army in retain
ing the Prince in the highest rank by
appointing him Colonel-General of Cav
airy and Field Marshal General.
The rescripts are couched in language
of the most tender character and end

of untroubled old age, frightened by
the consciousness of duty truly full

IGNATION.

ity and the relations that should exist
between the president of the Ministry
and his colleagues.
