BISMARCK'S BOLD BREAK.
THE PEOPLE NOW MANIFEST A
FEELING OF REGRET.


Two More Explanations offered as
to the Cause of His Split With the
Emperor French Editors Think
Europe's Peace Less Secure-Rus-
sian Scribes Pretend Indifference.
BERLIN, March 19.-Prince Bismarck In
his note to the emperor rendering his resig-
nation alleged that Old age and falling
health were his reasons for desiring to with
draw from public life. To-day's papers
call attention to the fact that while taking
lunch yesterday with the delegates TO the
labor conference Prince Bismarck gave a
cordial greeting to NJ. Jules Simon, the
head of the French delegation, and had
long conversation with him. He has in
vited all the French delegation to dine with
him tomorrow.
The North German Gazette says Count
Won Caprivi of the Eighth army corEs mas
been appointed chancellor Of the empire to
succeed Prince Bismarck.
The National Gazette, in an article on
the resignation of Prince Bismarck, says it
expects that the sentiment abroad will sub
side when the conviction gains ground that
the Germans look to the future with full
tional spirit.
ALSO MADE PRESIDENT OF THE MINISTRY.
The National Gazette saws that Gen. Won
Caprivi, the new chancellor, has also been
appointed president of the Prussian minis
try. The Gazette also says that Count
Herbert Bismarck persists in resigning his
post of imperial foreign minister.
The Ildgebldtt says that the resignation
of Count Herbert Bismarck has been
accepted. and that his successor will prob
ably be Count Berchen.
OTHER CHANGES.
Herr Won Boetticher becomes president of
the Prussian ministry.
Count Gutenberg, governor of Hesse-
Nassau, succeeds Herr Won Boetticher as
minister OF the interior.
Count Herbert Bismarck will receive an
ambassadorship.
Ministers Herr Furth and Maybach have
resigned. the latter because he lost Prince
Bismarck's support against the demands for
increased strategetic communications.
Gen. Won Caprivi the new chancellor, will
not assume the foreign portfolio.
ANOTHER STORY OF THE SPLIT.
Among the many rumors concerning the
causes that led to Prince Bismarck's resig-
nation is a story to the effect that the en-
peror intimated his intention TO abolish the
y
and that Prince bismarck stoutly objected TO
such a step. The emperor asked for an in
terview on the subject, naming 10 o'clock
at night as the hour for the meeting. The
chancellor replied that he was too old to
come at that hour. 1t was after this, the
story goes, that Prince Bismarck formally
rendered his resignation.
The Idgebtdtt says that the emperor has
dismissed Count Won Waldersee. his chief OF
staff.
CAPRIvI SURPRISE.
LONDON, March 90, 8 a. M.-The Posts
Berlin correspondent says: "The appoint
ment of Caprivi will unquestionably excite
surprise Possibly he is only a stop-gap.
His policy in the Diet has always been con-
ciliatory. His views are moderate and
clearheaded."
THE LATEST REASON REFUTED.
The Berlin correspondent of the Neos
says: "The story that Prince Bismarck de-
clined to attend the emperor in the evening
is amply refuted by the fact that the en-
peror visited Prince Bismarck that very
evening. 1t is reported that the
emperor was annoyed at Prince
Bismarck for interviewing DR.. Windthorst
without consulting him. ! can state it as
certain that Prince Bismarck did not intend
to resign at present, because he wished to
avoid the impression that the elections
caused him to resign. He intended to make
great political speech on the
to await chance for an impressive exit
from the political scene. Several German
reigning princes tried to mediate Prince
Bismarck is in excellent spirits. He suffers
from insomnia and earnestly desires rest.
His family, and especially bis wife, is glad
that he resigned. All will go to Friedrichs-
ruhe this week. 1t is rumored that Herr
yhao hov hi
Prince Bismarck's request"
WANTS HIM TO RECONSIDER.
The Telegroph's Berlin correspondent
hears that the emperor's repeated confer
ences with Herr Boettcher and yesterdays
council were aimed to induce Prince Bis
marck to reconsider. Count Waldersee has
gone to Italy on furlough, but owing to a
difference with the emperor he will resign
shortly.
The Standards Berlin correspondent
says: "Caprivi is opposed to increasing the
navy, which the emperor favors. The
emperor likes him pers onally, but he is in
tractable by nature and is not likely to be
chancellor long,"
A COMPARISON OF THE TWO MEN.
The Times Berlin correspondent says:
"The emperor had a chance to study Won
Caprivi's character during the maneuvers
last autumn, and decided TO follow the ides
of Frederick the Great that general is the
best conductor of foreign policy, because he
best knows how far he can go with the army
behind him. Although soldier Of the first
order, Caprivi, in the opinion of all his
intimates, is very much more; and if per-
sonal appearance counts for anything, be is
a man OF great force of character, and will
combine in high dsgree suduiter in nlodo
with fortiter IN ne, blending sagacity with
patience, resolution with good humor, and
German thoroughness with southern fire.
He looks typical Teuton of the hugest
and most impressive type. He bears q re-
| markable likeness to Bismarck, and
might easily pass for his brother.
| The difference in their character IS
| discernible in their gait-that of Prince
| Bismarck being sharp and heavy, while
| that OF Caprivi is deliberate expressive of
| lelsurely elegance. The new chancellor Is
u brief but capable speaker. Count Herbert
IS unpopular in the diplomatic world, and
| il il not likely that be viii be ap-
pointed to an ambassadorship. The
guests at the reception given by the emperor
| and empress included the delegates 10 the
labor conference. Prince Bismarck was
most aifablo when dhissg with the French
delegates. II. Deiaheea, one OF the deieg g1tcs
sent by France, has resigned owing TO diifer-
| ences with his comrades"
