BERLIN, April 5.-The events OF the
past week have accentuated even more
than the resignation of the chancellor
the new era that is opening in German
history until the departure OF the public
who are 10th to believe that the emperor
Is In earnest i'm parting with Bismarck.
Henceforth attention will be divided be-
tween Friederichesuhe, representing the
grandeur of the edifice of German unity
and the new and untried regime.
II Is impossible the emperor could
have been disaffected spectator
OF the tributes of admiration
and respect that poured i'm upon his dis
carded minister. II is reported to-day
that he has again refused consent to the
publication of Bismarck's letter of resig-
nation. The public still decline To believe
that the retirement of Bismarck is final,
il being urged that he is by five years the
junior of Gladstone and my still count
upon decade of activity.
Cartellers offered to resign two seats in
the reichstag i'm favor of Bismarck, but il
is certain the ex-chancellor and his
at present, the emperor having
declared he will recognize duly the two
parties those for and against him will be
likely to disregard conventional party di-
vision and seek the assistance of a lib
eral-clerical coalition. Thus Bismarck i'm
even re-entering the reicbstag might seem
to be i'm the unusual position of a nominal
IL not actual leader of the opposition.
The opening OF the reichstag and the
royal speech is awaited with keenest in
terest. DIR. Windthorst claims three in
dispensable concessions in return
fnr
ernment. the return of all
religious orders, religious teaching in the
schools and the removal OF discretionary
revocable characters from all concessions
made to the Catholic party.
Centurists are well aware OF the strength
of their position and intend TO derive every
possible advantage therefrom.
According to the National Zeitung the
new military bill provides for perman-
ent increase of 10000 900 marks in the an
nual expenditures.
For moment colonial af-
| fairs over-shadow politics. Won
Dcrherit, the financial backer of the East
African company, recently declared that
Bismarck's departure was the sign for a
new and energetic colonial policy.
Richards, the explorer, in a
lecture. showed that ii is OF
session of Tabora, which place is further
inland than Mpws.hwa. This and tho
strengthening of the treaty footing in the
German sphere of interest appear from
an inquiry in the most reliable quar-.
ters to be the sole objects oi
has advised conclusion of thu
treaty with Birani Heri i'm order that hi,
assistance may be secured i'm advance I,
the Germans. The exact scope of the ex
pedition is not yet known, but il is certarr
that the emperor will decline TO consent I,
the adoption OF any colonial policy antag
onistic to England. During the visit o
the Prince Of Wales the emperor cit
everything possible TO show the value h,
attached to close friendship between TIN
two nations.
The emperor's solicitude regarding til,
army is further shown in the imperial or
der to the effect that i'm view OF il
incompleteness i'm the reserve infantr
military officers, the system hitherto pur
sued, which provides that officers mus
come from the ranks OF nobility, must b
extended to include those noble by char
actcr, in order that sons of honorabi
middle class families may hold appoint
ments I'm the army. THE same rule Wi
, also apply to the civil service. The en-
peror further disapproves the holding G
commissions being dependent upon th
private income OF aspirants and therefor
DEGREES that their pay be increased. A
much length he enjoins commanders I

+ and check indulgences in unnecessar
luxuries, the habit of making costly pre-
? ents and giving frequent banquets, et'
In conclusion, the emperor desires tbs
lists of aspirants he submitted To hin
together with the names of officers vii
do not conform to the rule prescribing
, simpler mode of life.
