BERLIN, March 1S.-Prince Bis
marck's resignation of the chancellor
ship was accepted by the emperor at
noon to-day. 1t is stated to-day in we'll
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 request made by DR.. Wind
thOrst, the leader of the Clerical party
in Germany, to restore to the Duke
of Cumberland the claimant of the
throne of Hanover. the larger portion
of the Guelph fund. The report is re-
peated to-day that the emperor proposes
to appoint Gen. Won Caprivi. who is
now commander of the Tenth Army
corps, to the chancellorship. The atti-
tude of the emperor in opposing Prince
Bismarck in this matter is taken as an
indication of his desire to concillate the
Clerical party. 1t the government is to
secure working majority i'll the new

ministry was merely the custom
ary formal act, but it is reported that
Count Herbert Bismarck aud Minister
Maybach really intend to resign. Her.
rem Rickert ana Goidschmidt and other
Freisinnige deputies were invited to the
court banquet tonight. Never before

been thus hOnOred. 1t Is stated that the
Freisinnige professor Handl and Herr
MIGUEL will be invited to enter the cab

sire to

The Tagblatt attributes Prince Bis
marck's resignation entirely to the So
cial legislation question. The bourse
was only slightly affected by the chan
cell0r's resignation. Count Herbert
Bismarck hinted recently that he would
be obliged to resign. OF late his de-
meanor has been gloomy. The National
Gazette says: The gratitude toward
the restorer of Germany that is
filling the hearts of Germans at
this critical time proves that
Prince Bismarck will long be regarded
as the personification of Germany's
growth and prosperity" The National
Gazette believes that Count Herbert
Bismarck will remain in office. 1t says
that the Prussan ministry has not re-
signed. The Berlin Post is the only
German paper that still doubts that the
chancellor's resignation is definitive.
Emperor William will receive the
Prince of Wales with the same hOnOrs
that would be accorded to the queen of
England. The prince will be lodged in
the apartments reserved for mOnarchs.
Prince Bismarck declined an invitation
to the banquet given by the emperor to
the delegates to the labor conference.
