RESIGNED In RAGE.

REPORT OF A wRATHFUL RUPTURE.

Two Rumored Reasons for the Difficulty
Young Bismarck Follows the Old

Matter Subjected to CensOrship-The
FatherIand Excited-The Great Strike
in England and the Outlook-Cable
Miscellany
BERLIN, March 10 1t is stated on what is
regarded as reliable authority that both
Prince Bismarck and his son, Count Bis
marck, have resigned, and that Emperor
William has accepted the resignation of the
chancellor and will probably allow the count
to retire. Various rumors are ahoat con-
corning the affair, which has caused intense
excitement in Berlin and will doubtless have
a depressing effect on the boerse
Bismarck Wakes Angry.
One version of the rupture is that the
chancellor and the emperor quarreled con-
corning the labor conference tho chancellor
advising concessions to the pope which the
emperor would not grant, and that Prince
Bismarck left the imperial palace in vlo-
lent passion and Immediately sent his resig-
nation by a messenger, who also bore SINH
lar document signed by Count Herbert Bis
marck, the latter stating that the retire
ment of his father made it impossible for
him to remain in Office.
Another Story of the Cause.
Another story is afloat TO the effect that
the designations were due to the emperor's
opposition to Prince Bismarck's attitude to-
ward the Socialists. The rumors have been
received with establishment in London,
Paris, and Vienna, and kilograms from
those capitals asking for information have
been received at the various embassies.
Neither Prince Bismarck nor the count left
his residence last evening, and both denied
admittance to all visitors.
dispatch from Vienna says the Emperor
Francis Joseph is profoundly moved by the
announcement of Prince Bismarck's retire
ment and refuses TO credit it until officially

Capital City Notes.
WASHINGTON City, March le.-The Re-
publican members of the ways and means
committee agreed yesterday to put raw
sugars from 10 Dutch standard down on the
schedule at IS per cent. ad valorem, and re-
fined sugar above Ii Dutch standard at 40
per cent. This is equivalent to so per cent
reduction on many grades, and more than
30 per cent. on other grades The reduc ton
will average cut of 80 per cent on the
present rates, and will reduce the revenue
from So, 900, 900 to SIS, 900, O0O There is no
bounty provision. This cut is more than
two and a half times greater than that pro-
posed by the Mills bill The duty islto be col
lected upon the value and not upon specific
rates as heretofore. Ii will be observed that
only 5per cent additional duty is given the
refiners; and this with the reduction ON the
low grade of sugar up to and including No.
10 Dutch standard, the two last grades be-
ing merchandise sugar aud fit for domestic
uses, will, it is hoped, take away from the
refiners the power TO raise the price OF sugar
to the consumer at will.
A Concession to the West.
This heavy reduction Is regarded by the
Republican members. as a most generous
concession TO the western sentiment among
Republicans. II is lower than the senate
rate fixed by the bill which passed that body
last congress, and is free from that which
was SO Objectionable in the senate bill-a
bounty clause. The senate bill made re-
duction of 50 per cent. and gave bounty of
cent per pound. The action of the Repub-
lican members of the committee makes a cut
of even more than 50 per cent and elimi-
mates from its provisions the experiment of
paying bonus to one class of producers d.
rectly from the public treasury. The agree
ment reached by the subcommittee will be
reported TO the full committee to-day.
