FRINGE BISMARCK.

PRINCE BISMARCK.
 don Post Says-Comment of she Berlin Press.
 LONDON, March 19.-The Posts Berlin cor respondents says: It is true that Count Her. bert Bismarck rendered his resignation, but 8 change in his office is unlikely, although it is probable that Prince von Hohenlohe or Count von Hatzfeldt will be summoned to advise Count Herbert.
 Telegrams were subjected to censorship till 9 o'clock this afternoon, after which all were allowed to pass. The resignation of the min istry was merely the customary formal action but it is reported that Count Herbert Bis marck and Minister Maybach really intend to resign.
 Herren vickert and Goldschmidt and other freisinnige deputies were invited to the court banquet tonight. Never before has the frei- sinnige party been thus honored. It is stated that the freisinnige Professor Handl and Herr Miquel will be invited to enter the cabinet as an earnest of the emperor's desire to legislate for the people.
 BERLIN, March 1s.-The National Gazette says: The gratitude toward the restorer of Germany that is filling the hearts of Germans at the critical time proves that Prince Bis. marck will long be regarded as the personif- cation of Germany's growth and prosperity.
 The National Gazette believes that Count Herbert Bismarck will remain in office. It says that the Prussisn ministry has not re- signed.
 The Tageblatt attributes Prince Bismarck E resignation entirely to the social legislation question. The bourse was only slightly af- footed by the chancellor's resignation.
 ofch frop Ror- lin says it is reported that Prince Bismarck was incensed because Herr Hintzpeter com posed the labor rescripts without his being consulted, that the chancellor recently had g dispute with Herr Boetticher whom the em. peror favored and that he also differed from the emperor about colonial matters and was determined not to recall his resignation.

Farmers and plant CTS growing tobacco will have the liberty to sell to whomsoever they please without re- l straint in the same manner as any farmer can dispose of any other of the products of his land.

 On motion of MT. Morrill, of Kansas reso- lution was adopted calling upon the secreta- ry of the interior for data relative to the payment of pensions and for an estimate as to the amount of money which will be re- quired for the payment of arrearages in case the limitation of the arrea1s act is repealed. MT. Spinola of New York asked unanimous consent for the immediate consideration of a joint resolution granting authority to the secretary of the treasury to take possession of Fort Jay, commonly known as Fort Colum- bus, on Governors leland, and fifteen acres of land for the erection of suitable buildings 1 for the accommodation of immigrants. When the morning hour expired the house went into committee of the whole (Mr. Bur- rows of Michigan in the chair) on the pension appropriation bill.
 MT. Morrow of California, in charge of the bill (which appropreates $9S, ,4s7, 46D, sx- plained it's provisions in detail and in refer once to the general subject of pensions, said that 1t might safely be assumed that the number of pensioners would reach it's maxi mum about July 1, 1894, when the expendi- ture would be $112. .000, 600. On that date, under existing law, the number of psnsion- CTS on the rolls would be 75O, 900. MT. Sayres of Texas discussed the penaion system as effected by both acts of congress l and the administration of the service. MT. Peters of Kansas defended the admin. istration of the bureau, asserting that there l was nothing unreasonable in the increase of pensions which had been made.
 Pending further debate the committee rose | and the house adiourned.
