PIrrsToN, PA, March 22.-The VIII
kesbarre Board of Trade has just issued
an appeal in behalf of the destitute min
ers of the Wyoming Valley. 1t Is In
part as follows:
For some time past il has been man
ifest. from the shortage OF works in the
mines, that there must be unusual want
among certain classes of our poorer peo-
ple. Latterly the calls upon the Poor
Board. the various charitable and ben
cvolent associations, the churches and
people generally for aid in specially
needy cases. have been largely multiply
ing. The several funds available 10 meet
these calls were being overtaXed. a
meeting was. therefore, held in the First
Methodist Episcopal Church to take IN
to full consideration the extent OF the
need and devise such means as were pos
Sible TO encompass it.
DEMAND GREATER THAN TIE SUPPLY.
The meeting was attended by about
one hundred, and the fact was very
plainly and fully demonstrated that the
necessities Of the situation are now, and
are likely for some little time to con-
tinuc. i'm excess of the abilities of the
existing agencies to supply them. II Is
believed that this condition OF affairs
will be but temporary. In the mean
time. however, something must be done
for those who have suffered most OF the
depression.

Latest from Berlin.

BERLIN. March o. The North
German Gazette tonight supplies
some much desired light ON the
causes leading to Prince Bismarck's
resignation. Scizing the occasion
to contradict the statement oil
the Hamburg spondcnt that before
the late crisis reached its climax the
Chancellor had already made appIica-
ti0n for leave 20 resign, and had with
drawn 10 and cndcavorcd To- reconcile
himself TO the situation, but without
succesc.
The North German GdzCtc says that
this, like the reports regarding the
Princes opposition to the labor pro-
grammc is entirely erroneous. What
has happened is this: The chancellor
did not wish To- depart from the
cabinet order of 1888 relating
To- the intercourse between the
PruSSian ministers and the Sovereign,
but desired TO retain his control and
right of cooperation. The intercourse
between the Emperor and the Sccre-
tarics OF State is regulated by
the law of 1852. IL was only
within the past few weeks
that Bismarck felt 20 necessary TO
refer To that regulation. He considered
fits execution and Observance indispenS-
able and did not wish TO Doe a party 10
IFS abrogation. The opposition he en-
countercd IN this matter finally brought
clearly home 10 him the necessity
for his resignation. The negotiations
between Prince Bismark and Dr. Wind
thorst. with reference 90 the Guelph
fund and the attitude of the clerical
party i'm the Reichstag. were only con-
nccted with the crisis so far as that
the Chancellor refused To- subject his
intercourse with the deputies 10 any
control. No step, have been taken by
the Emperor personally. or by the soy
crcigu- Of any Of the several States to
induce Bismarck to remain at the head
OF the Ministry OF Foreign Affairs.
