BlSMARCK'S INTERVIEWS.

They Are Significant.

To Treat the Ex.Chanccllor With Re.

Honor, Sues Tor Divorce.

BERLIN, Juno ,S.-Chancellor Won Ga
priv did not send 4 circular note to the
Powers, nor did he communicate with
any foreign representative except the
Austrian Embassador on the subject Of
Prince Blsmarck's ntterancrs In inter.
views with newspaper correspondents.
The alleged remarks OF the Prince to The
effect that Germany was not bound by
treaty to assist Austria in the event OF Il
war with Russia over the struggle for
dominance in tho Balkan peninsula
caused Count kalnoky to enquire how
far tho Emperor and the chancellor
shared this Interpretation OF the respon.
sibilities Of the alliance.
General Won Caprivi in his response,
avoiding the discussion OF such an inter.
probation, declined to attach any value
to tho reported interviews with the
retired statesman. Plincc Bismarck
has written to both Signor Crispi md
Count halnoky correcting the iinpres.
slons arising from there reports OF inter.
views. The Emperor and his Ministers
concur in respectful treatment Of tho OK.
Chancellor.
RECOGNIZE HIS FULL RIGHTS.
They recognize his full right to pub.
lie expression Of his views on State
affairs through any medium lie may
choose. Suggestions have been given to
the Official press to allude to Prince
bismarck only when necessary, and to
then speak Of him with UNMARRIED cour-
tesy as a statesman who has rendered
the greatest service to his country, but
who has probably outlived his capacity
to guide the affairs Of the nation. This |
exactly represents the attitude the
desires the Ministers to assume
toward Prince Bismarck.
The NOIh German Ga,.He, which is !
now as much Chancellor Won Capriyi's
organ as ever it was Prince Bismarck's,
seeks to minimize the import of tho
Princes utterances by declaring them to
be those Of 4 mere private gentleman
having nothing whatever to DO with the
present policy Of the Empire or with the
means OF intuencingi it.
STILL HOLDS INTIMATE RELATIONS
This view of the ex. .Chancellor's posi-.
lion, however, Ignored the fact that he
,till holds intimate relations and con.
inual correspondence with the heads of |
The Federal States, the leaders of the
Conservatives and National Liberals, be-
sides maintaining touch with foreign
statesmen. The Government may be |
glad to accept his assistance to pass the
army bill.
The Hamburgksr NocErichtcn intimatcs
hat the Prince, il he enters Parliament,
will throw the weight OF his influence |
on the side OF Chancellor Won Caprivi, |
with whose policy at home and abroad !
be continues to be in sympathy. Moth
ing is definitely decided as 10 his &C.
cepting a seat in the Reichstag, but it is |
he will not do so unless oc-
casion demands his presence to Justify |
his policy MS continued by Chancellor
Won Caprivi. The occasion is likely to
soon arise.
DISCLOSE SOME TEMPER.
The commission on the army bill has
disclosed complete show OF temper to-
ward the Government proposals. Before
the Whitsuntide, Herr Richter alone
openly opposed the credit demands.
Now DR.. Windthorst, Herr Bsnigsen
and even some Of the Conservatives on
the commission declare that the country
will not support the continuous increase
in the military charges. The frank ad.
mission OF General Verdy Du Vernois,
OF War, that he did not know
how much more money he would be re.
quired to ask, reused remonstrance on
every side.
The opinions OF the constituencies
were ascertained during the recess, and
these have melted the members to de-
mand explicit proposals for the auemen-
tation OF the numerical strength OF the
peace effective with the definite budget.
The Center party, the Freisinnige,
Volksparted and Socialists are also com.
bining to refuse support Of the bill un-
less it is accompanied by 4 provision for
a shorter period OF compulsory military
