BISMARCRS RETIREMENT
THE THRONE OF HANOVER AT THE
BOTTOM OF THE SPLIT.

The Chancellor Would Not Restore to
the Duke of Cumberland the Guelph
Fund-The Prince Said to be Deter
mined Not to Recall His Resi9na-
ton.
BERLIN, March 1S.--It is stated to-day in
well-informed political circles that the pres
ent difference between the emperor and
Prince Bismarck is irreconcilable. 1t arises
from the chancellor's refusal to accede to
the request made by DR.. Windthorst, leader
of the clerical party in Germany, to restore
to the Duke of Cumberland, claimant to
the throne of Hanover, the larger portion
of the Guelph fund.
The attitude Of the emperor in opposing
Prince Bismarck in this matter Is taken as
an indication of his desire to couciliate the
clerical party. II the government is to
secure a working majority IN the new Reich
stag, it cannot well get on without the
party of the center, which DIR. Windthorst
controls.
WITH GLIDING OF THE ACCEPTANCE.
The emperor continues to withhold his
formal acceptance of Prince Bismark'S res.
ignation. His reason for not accepting it
is that the constitution does not ad-
init of an interregnum in the
tenure of the chancellorship. and as the
choice Of a successor to Prince Bismarck is
beset with difficulty, his majesty defers his
acceptance until he finally decides whom he
shall l'appoint as chancellor.
1t was announced at 8 o'clock, however,
that Prince Bismarcks resignation was ac-
cepted by the emperor at noon to-day. IL
so, the name OF the new chancellor has not
been made public yet, though the report
was repeated this morning that the en-
peror proposed to appoint Gen. Won Capriv,
commander OF the Tenth army corps.
All tie members of the Prussian ministry
resigned at the same time that Prince Bis
marck rendered his resignation.
GRATITUDE OF THE NATION.
The National Gazette says:
The gratitude toward the restorer of Germany
that is filling the hearts of the Germans at this
critical time proves that Prince Bis
mark will long be remembered as the per-
sonifcation of Germany's growth and pros
perity.
The National Gazette believes that Count
Herbert Bismarck will remain in office
1t says that the Prussian ministry has not
resigned.
