BERLIN, April 5.-The events of the
week have accentuated even more than the
resignation of the Chancellor the new era
that is opening in German history. Until
is actual departure the public was
10th to believe that the Emperor
was in earnest in parting with Bismarck.
Doubt is no longer possible, and apathy has
yielded to an unwonted desire to do homage
to the departing statesman. Henceforth
attention will be divided between two the
aters - Friedricbsruhe, representing the
grandeur of the edifce OF German unity,
and Berlin, the center of new and untried
regime.
1t is impossible that the Emperor could
have been an unaffected spectator Of the un-
ending tributes of admiration and respect
that poured in upon his discarded Minister.
STILL CLAMoRING FOR BISMARCK.
1t is reported to-day that he has again re-
fused to consent to the publication OF Bis
marck's letter of resignation. The public
still decline to believe that the retirement
of Bismarck is final. it being urged that he is
bv five years the junior of Gladstone and
| may still count upon decade OF activity.
The Cartellers have offered to resign two
seats in the Reichstag in favor of Prince
Bismarck and Count Herbert Bismarck,
| l,,%, 4 -, -, %lo@ rtao Nhon llnra
| his son will not accept them at present
whatever they may do at later time.
The Emperor, having declared that he
will recognize only two parties-those for
and against him-will be likely to disregard
conventional party divisions and to seek the
assistance of liberal-clerical coalitions.
Thus, Prince Bismarck, in the event of his
| re-entering the Reichstag, might seem to be
in the unusual position of the nominal, if
not actual leader of the Opposition.
INTERESTING SESSION EXPECTED.
| The opening of the Reichstag and the
| Royal speech are awaited with the keenest
interest. In view of the certainty of re-
| distribution of parties, the preparation OF
| military and colonial measures will proba-
| bly, be delayed until the beginning of May.
Herr Richter Is expected to resign from
the Liberal committee in the Reichstag, as
he has already done from the Liberal COM
mittee of the Diet, his personality blocking
a mutual approach of the Liberal groups.
| DIR. Windthorst claims three indis-
pensable concessions in return for
| his support of the Government:
The return of all religious orders, religious
| teaching in the schools and the granting of
| a discretionary.
According to the National Zeitung, the
| new military bill provides for permanent
increase of is. .O0O, 900 marks in the annual
expenditures. For the moment Colonial
| affairs
| OvERSHADoW HOME POLITICS.
Herr Vonderheydt, the financial hacker
of the East Africa Company, declared in the
WerchenbIdtt that Prince Bismarck's de-
parture was the sign of a new and an ener-
getic colonial policy. Herr Reichardt, the
explorer, in lecture showed that 1t is of
the utmost importance to secure possession
of Tabora, which place is further inland
than Mowapwa, in the direction of Lake
| Tanganyika and the Victoria Nyanza. This
and the strengthening of the treaty feeling
in the German Empire appear from in
quiry in the most reliable quarters to be the
| sole object of the Emin Wissman expedi-
| ton.
Emin has advised the conclusion of a
treaty with Bwava Heri in order that his
assistance may be secured in the advance of
the Germans. The talk of the recapture of
Wadela; is based upon mere surmise. The
exact scope of the expedition will not be
known until the bill of supplies is before
the Reichstag.
WILL NOT ANTAGoNIZE ENGLAND.
What is certain, however, is that the
Emperor will decline to consent to an
adoption of any colonial policy antagonistic
to England. During the recent visit of the
Prince of Wales the Emperor did every
thing possible to show the value he attached
to close friendship between the two nations.
Another guarantee in this direction is
found in the composition of the new Col
onial Department of the Foreign Office un-
der DIR. Krauel, who is well known through
mis- connection with the Samoan Conference,
and who has an efficient staff of officials, all
of whom are personally acquainted with
the extent and character of the colonies.
The Emperor's solicitude regarding the
army is further shown in an imperial order
published to-day, to the effect that, in view
of its incompleteness, the reserve infantry
military officers system hitherto pursued,
which provides that officers must come from
the ranks of the nobility, must be extended
to include those who are
NOBLE BY CHARACTER,
in order that the sons of honorable middle
class families may hold appointments in the
army. The same rule will also apply to the
civil service. The Emperor further dis
approves the holding OF commissions being
dependent upon the private income of
aspirants. He therefore DEGREES that the
paw of officers of rifles, foot artillery and
pioneers shall be increased by 45 marks
monthly, that of officers Of field artillery by
75 marks, and that of officers of cavalry by
150 marks.
At much length he enjoins commanders
to set an example of self-sacrifce to officers
and to check indulgences in unnecessary
luxuries, the habit of making costly pres
ents and giving frequent banquets, etc.
1t is the Emperor's pleasure that only
commanding Generals shall be expected to
entertain. 1t must not occur that staff Off
GERS who have done good service shall feel
any anxiety about facing sacrifices which
might seem incumbent upon them if they
held regimental commands.
OPPOSED TO LUXURY.
In conclusion, the Emperor desires that
lists of aspirants shall be submitted to him,
together with the names of officers who do
not conform to the rule prescribing a SIM
pier mode of life.
He declares that habits of luxury must be
seriously and firmly opposed and intends,
to a large extent, to judge of the capacity OF
the officers by this standard.
