Bism New Titles,

BERLIN March 2l.-A special edition of
The Reichsanzeiger contains imperial re-
scripts cordially thanking Prince Bismarck
for his services and appointing him duke of
Lauenburg, u colonel general of cavalry,
and field marshal general; also appoint
ing Count Herbert Bismarck ad interim
minister of foreign affairs, and Gen Won
Caprivi chancellor and president of the
Prussian ministry. In the first rescript the
emperor says that acceding to the request
made on the 18th inst. he grants Prince
Bismarck permission TO retire, hoping con-
fdently that the fatherland will profit in
the future, as it has profited in the past, by
his counsel, energy and faithful devotion.
The emperor says that he had hoped that
the necessity would not arise for Bismarck
to think of separation during his lifetime.
He regards it as the most providential dis
pensation of his life that on several occa-
sions he has had Prince Bismarck by his
side.
What the prince has achieved for Prussia
and Germany, and what the prince has been
TO him and the house of his predecessors, he
will ever preserve in grateful remembrance

tage of active frontier service till the out
break of the civil war in 1861. His princi-
pal Indian fighting at that time was in the
Rogue and Pitt rivers campaigns of 1861
he had attained his captaincy when he re-
turned east to take command of the Thirty
sixth Ohio volunteers. His first service was
in West Virginia, where he distinguished
himself by his activity in that broken and
difficult country. Thence he was transferred
to Maryland and Virginia, attracting atten-
tlon by his vigor and celebrity, which led to
his appointment to the command of the
Second cavalry division in the Army of the
Tennessee, July, 1868.
Crook quickly gained the confidence of
his commanders, and, after defeating Wheel.
er's Confederate cavalry in the west, he re-
turned to West Virginia to harrass the Com
federacy with raids. Thence he Joined
Sheridan in the final campaign of the war,
and In all that series of brilliant cavalry
operations sheridan had no more efficient
lieutenant than Gen, Crook. After holding
quieter commands Gen. Crook was dis
patched in 1872 to Arizona to settle the
Apache question, which had been the chief
problem of Pacific department commanders
since lSiS, He settled it, and settled it TO
stay. At its end both horses and men were
worn out but the Apache was worn out for
good.
Later, In 1876, the Sioux troubles pre-
sented themselves for settlement, and the
selection of IA commander to settle them fell
naturally on Gen Crook He inflicted se-
we're blows on the Indians at Powder and
Tongue rivers, The savsges withdrew to
make their successful attack on the gallant
Custer.
Crook received re-enforcements and pur-
sued them so vigorously that by May, 1887,
he brought them to submission. Trouble in
Arizona called Gen. Crook thither again in
lss5. On this occasion he captured the whole
band or tribe of Chiricahuas. He next re-
duced them to the habits of industry, and
within three years had them and neighbor-
ing bands self supporting The army had no
more energetic officer than the deceased gem
eral, nor, unless perhaps in the person of
Gen Miles, any other officer of rank who
can be named in competition with him as an
Indian fighter, His last prominent act was
tho selection Of the court martial to try
Lieut. Steele for assaulting Private Wild.
In army circles Gen. Crook is spoken of
with the highest regard as a brave solder, a
good executive officer and an excellent COM
mander.
The funeral of Gen. Crook occurred at
Chicago on Sunday at p, IN. The remains
were taken to Oakland, Nj, for in tei meut.
