now BISMARCK BECAME premier

Forced Into the Position by Threats O.
Abdication by the king.
just how Bismarck took the final ster
into the position of the leading statesman
OF Prussia has always been unwritter
history. The Munchener AUqeDaeiyee
Ze1tung, still very close t. the ex-chan.
cellOr, IN It's efforts to stem the tide OF
adverse newspaper comment on Bis
marck's record, gives detailed descrip-
ton OF the significant event, and, more
over, guarantees the correctness of the
information. Won RoOr. minister of
war, had called Bismarck home from
France. The king received him in the
park of Babelsberg. AS Bismarck an
preached the king handed him the COPY
OF his announcement Of his abdicatiOn.
which he was about to have published.
Bismarck looked astOunded and remarked
quickly that In Prussia such a document
should be impossible.
Il have tried everything" said The
king, yet have found no alternative.
Against my conviction I can not rule.
My ministers are against me. Ny own son
SIDES with them. You have already been
with him. If | can not come to an nm
derstanding with you [ shall send this
announcement of my abdication to the
Gazette, and then my son may see what
he can do. To surrender the reorganiza-
ton OF the army is against nv convic-
tons. To violate them is to me a viola
ton Of duty"
Bismarck replied that he had called on
the crown prince merely in response to a
summons, and that he had refused to dis
cuss the situation before an interview
with the king. All thought of abdicati0n
must be given up at once. The king
balanced the paper in his hand few min
utes and then inquired:
will you Try to rule without ma
jority?"
"Yes"
"And without budget?"
Eyes"
"And without yielding the recognition
of the army?"
"Yes"
Then here is my program"
Bismarck read the four quarto pages
covered with the kings fine handwriting.
The first point concerned the representa-
ton of cities and manors in district
assemblies, around which violent quar-
rel had already gathered.
Your majesty" said Bismarck de-
cldedly, the question at issue is not
about district assemblies, it is about the
ability of the king or the ability of par
lament to rule Prussia Settle this ones
ton and all else will settle itself. If vour
majesty will trust me SO far I will under
take the work, but without programs.
After short silence the king nodded.
he and Bismarck were walking over a
little bridge and he began to tear I'D the
program. AS he dropped the pieces on
the planks, Bismarck, stopping, picked
them up as he said:
Your majesty perhaps might better
throw the pieces into the fire. Some one
might find them here, and every one in.
this vicinity knows your majesty's hand
writing"
The king put the remnant of the pro-
gram Ia MS coat pocket, discussed shortly
the dismissal of the acting minister
president, and then started for the castle
- pen the letter of dismissal.

Mrs. Mary Burton. colored, widow,
appeared before Judge Ball this morn
Ing as a complainant against Constable
Frederick W. Neutze, whom she
charged with committing an assault
and battery upon her, In her own home.
In her testimony she stated that she
lives at No. Is Glrard street, and that
yesterday, while she was IN the back
part OF the house, she heard some one
enter the front door.
In going into the front room she
met the accused, who said that he
wanted Mary Hogan. He did not pro-
duce any warrant or say what right he
had to enter her house. When she told
him that the girl was not in her house,
lie called hera - - and under
took to pass into another room.
She placed herself in front OF him
and said that he could not search her
house without warrant, when he
seized her by the shoulders, and after
pushing her back against door, chok-
ed her.
The accused denied laying his hands
upon her, but Judge Ball seemed more
inclined to believe her sworn testi-
mony than his unsupported statement.
lie therefore adjudged him guilty, and
IN imposing sentence, said:
This Is most outrageous case,
rs the assault was brutal and uncall-
ed for. While l intend to protect
the officers in the discharge OF their
duties, l also intend to protect tho
citizens and especially in the sanctity
OF their own homes. You had no
right under the circumstances to
enter this ySoman's house. and it seems
TO me that you are not proper man
TO hold the position you do. The sen.
tence OF the Court is that you pay a
fine OF S25 and tho costs of prosecu-
ton"
