Unconfrmed Report that the German Cham

Special 10 the Indianapolis Journal
LONDON, Nov. 26-A decided sensation
was caused at Berlin today by thu IN
nouncement that Chancellor Won Caprivi
will, in all probability. soon resign the
chancellorship of the German empire. This
unexpected news was circulated this morn
ing by the Wochenblatt. q newspa-
per edited by Deputy Arendt.
The Wochenblatt. in announcing
The approaching retirement of the
Chancellor, says. in explanation. hat the
latter is weary of holding Office. and that
this fact has caused him to arrive at the
decision referred to. It is inferred that
the retirement of Chancellor Won Capriyi
is not definitely decided upon. but that 1t
Is among the strong probabilities.
The Chancellors nemies so soon as this
report gained circulation, started the ru-
NOR that Won Caprivi has had q serious
misunderstanding. and that he has adopted
the old Bismarckian tactics of threatening
to resign unless he has his own way. They
add that he will find hat young William
willnot put up with such blufing.p and that
sOA Shpklfi u tu6t tnouHn
be has been o high fayoritep he is far from
being the historical parsonage Prince Bis
marck was and still Is. in spite of every
thing. OF course. coupled with this rumor
is the report that should Won Capriyi re-
tire Prince Bismarck may be recalled TO
power. The accuracy of this rumor is
very much doubted in Berlin.
The origin of The rumor is traced to q
paper edited by Herr Arendt. There lave
been so many sensational rumOrs set afloat
recently Tor the purpose OF affecting stocks
that this one Is received in London with a
great many grains of salt. 1t Is also re-
called that on June 10. last. two brokers
on the Berlin bonrse named. respectively,
Herr Arendt and Herr Wolff. the latter of
the recently collapsed firm of Hirschfeldt&
Wolff, were fined for starting false rumors
IN regard TO the health of Emperor William
pressing the values In stock. 1t is not
said that Herr Arendt of this occasion and
the Herr Arendt editor of the paper, re-
sponsible for the Won CaprivI rumor, are
Que aud the same person. In fact IL is sup
posed that they are entirely different peo-
pie. but the coincidence in the names has
further increased the doubt expressed at
the accuracy of a Berlin papers state
ments.
A dispatch from Paris says: II is re-
ported here that Chancellor Won Caprivi is
soon to resign the office he holds and is to
retire TO private life. jill health is given Us
the cause of his retirement. In this city it
is regarded as somewhat strange that the
report of the German ChancellOr's retire
ment shonld be circulated Just at the time
that Nj. de Giers, the Russian Minis
ter of Foreign Affairs. is said to
have 'cemented the friendship existing be-
tween Russia and Germany" The news
from Berlin has caused n humber of sensa-
tional reports to be placed in circulation.
Among them are that the Chancellor and
the yOuDg Emperor lave had a serious dis
agreement in regard to NJ. DE Giers's visit,
and that the latter addressed the Chancel-
lor in very warm terms. The Chancellor is
said 10 have resented this treatment to
the extent of informing his Majesty
that he could not any longer.

estimation. continue to hold the offic e of

Russia or France. but he would dearly
like to have either OF these countries at

aause q popular feeling which would en-
able the Emperor TO carry out the desire of
his life. that of leading the armies of Ger
many in triumph against the enemies of his
country. The Chancellor's efforts to curb
tine young monareh are, finally, said to
have resulted in the present state of
STRAINED relations
A dispatch from Vienna says: No faith

Berlin that Chancellor Won Caprlvi has re-
signed or that he Intends TO resign. The
report is believed to be either the work of
stock Danipulators or of an unfounded re-
port. printed without investigation in some
sensational newspaper.
