price of the crown" Prince Bismarck

and medals in the Reichsbank. The

$4,000. The prince only retains the

me into retirement, where shall
wear frock coat and only need my
iron cross" Prince Bismarck will leave

All of the generals of the army sta
toned in Berlin and its vicinity have
paid him farewell visits. Gen. Count
Won Waldersee, chief of the imperial
staff, has started from Berlin on a visit
to Italy. The Berliner Volksblatt says
that the Socialist members of the reich
stag, as the executive committee of the
Socialist party. disavow any knowledge
of the notices recently posted proclaim
ing
A Universal Holiday
on May 1. The committee has not yet
decided upon declaring that day gen
eral holiday. Herr Rupert, Socialist
editor, of BreSlau, and number of the
reichstag have been arrested for lese
majestic. In the supplementary cleo
ton at Rathenow for member of
the reichstag, Ewald, Socialist, and
HermeS, the Freisinnige candidate
failed to obtain the requisite
majority. Another ballot is therefore
necessary. The Politsche Nachrichten
denies that Herr Boetticher will retire
from the Prussian ministry. 1t is re-
ported that the Prussian and imperial
ministries of the interior will be amalga-
mated under Herr Marshall, Baden
minister. Evening papers state
that after the British ambassa-
doris banquet last night Count Herbert
Bismarck had heated discussion with
the emperor, and again asked for per-
mission to retire. The committee of
the labor conference have agreed to
maximum of ten hours work daily for
youths between fourteen and sixteen.
The delegates to the international labor
conference were to-day conveyed in
royal carriages to the Templehof, where
they witnessed sham fight. 1t is
stated that Emperor William will give a
farewell
Audience to Prince Bismarck

African Steamship company will begin
their voyages in May. They will sail
from Hamburg for Delagoa bay, and
will call at Rotterdam, Naples. Alden

Count Herbert Bismarck has been &C
cepted, and Aerr Won Alvensleben has
been appointed to succeed him as i'm
perial secretary for foreign affairs.
Herr Won Alvensle5en. the German
minister at Brussels, has been sum-
moned to Berlin. Bismarck said to an
interviewer to-day: you will never
see me in Berlin again." Emperor
William recently gave separate audi
ences to the Austrian, British,
Italian and Russian ambassadors. He
informed them as to Germany'S future
domestic and foreign policy and con-
WINGED them of his firm resolve to main
tain peace and his belief that his efforts
would be successful. Herr Won Alvens-
leben is good choice. In addition to
his knowledge of affairs and routine
habits, resulting from his experience at
Washington and Berlin, he has decid-
edly the advantage of Count Herbert
Bismarck in sayoir faire and suaYity of
manner.
