the strains OF the band.
In connection with the regard evinced |
by Prince Bismarck for Mr.. Phelps, it is |
worthy of note that on Tuesday last he |
denied himself to all others and received
tho Minister at a private audience. They
spent a large part OF the afternoon in a
discussion, the object OF which has ex-
cited curiosity here. Eumor says that
the Prince made careful statement OF !
recent events with view to the future.
REMAINS A SECRET. 49,,
The real history OF the Chancellorship
crisis is still wrapped in mystery, which
The Emperor shows no intention to un-
veil. The Intervention OF The Duke OF
Baden and other influential personaees
has to large extent stopped the news
paper polemic on the subject.
The North German Gazette, Prince Bis.
marck's organ, announces on behalf OF |
the Prince that the address and assur-
anccs OF sympathy received by him have
been SO numerous that, without official |
assistance and the trouble and confusion !
lncidentto his departure, it is impossible
to reply to them singly. He requests |
the senders collectively TO accept his
thanks. r Hs-.-..
The appointment OF Baron Marschall |
rs Foreign Secretary OF State |
has not yet been sazetted, but the ap-
pointment is regarded as definite. He
was born in 1872. He is a hard worker.
The Baron WAS formerly Public Prose
cutor and has never been in the military
service. though he has had a long career
in the Reichstag. f.
JEALOUS OF HERBERT, ,.'
He is good debater and has repre-
sented Baden in the Bundsratli since
1883. He is an aGable man and popu-
lar favorite at court. He has q strong
tendency toward State socialism. The
Cologne Ga.eiie says that he is intimately
with Prince Bismarcks
policy. His appointment, the paper
says, is guarantee OF continued peace.
He will make no change in the diplo-
matte service. -. a.
ltis stated that the Emperor accepted
Count Herbert Bismarck resignation
with the greatest reluctance, because
Prince Bismarck trained nobody but his
eon thoroughly in his policy and ideas.
This reason in many quarters is held to
justify the Emperor's action rs an antici-
patton OF the last approaching inevitable
retirement OF death or Prince Bismarck,
and the nccessityf OF the release OF the
ministers from the Bismarckian bondage
and Jealousy OF Count Herbert.
