BERLIN. Fen. 1.-THE crisis In the feud
existing between the emperor and Prince
Bismarck has become acute. In converse
ton last night, at an official dinner given by
Chancellor Won Capriyi. the emperor re-
marked that attacks inspired by Prince Bis
marck, while nominally directed against
Chancellor von Caprivi, were in reality
aimed at himself. He was deprived, he
said, by his position from publicly respond
would soon pe obliged to take severe
measures to suppress these attacks, as they
were dangerous to the government and the
the empire. A report which has gained
general credence is to the effect that Cham
cellor Won Caprivi has been instructed to
publish in the Reicks0nssiger warming TO
Prince Bismarck's paper. tie Hamburger
Ndchrichtea, TO cease publishing it's pre-
tended revelations Of government affairs on
pain OF prosecution.
A SENSATIONAL ARTICLE.
The Hamburger, Nachrichten published
yesterday an article which caused sensa-
tlon in political and military circles. IL
declared that the recent changes In the
highest army personnel was due to the fact
that Count Won Waldersee aud other
officers connected with the general staff
were working together to bring on war
with Russia. Chancellor Won Caprivi, who
disapproved Of the plans Of these officers,
induced the emperor to dismiss Count Won
Waldersee and to reform the general staff.
The accusation made by the NdchfTchten
re-echoes the charges that Count Won Wal
dersee has already denied, but which have
acquired fresh signi6oancef from the removal
of his lntimates, Mais. Zann and Siebert
from the staff and their being ordered to
the provinces.
THE EMPEROR IN CONSULTATION.
The emperor had prolonged conference
yesterday morning with Chancellor Won
Caprivi and Herr 0enlschlager, minister
of justice. The latter afterward consulted
with Judges Fessendorf and Reichsanwalt
of the Leipsic tribuual on the meas
ures to be adopted TO stop the
attacks It is difficult to believe
that the emperor means TO 60 to the length
OF prosecuting the ex-chanceilor, yet his un-
controlled intensity of irritation supports
the rumors that he viii do so. The govern
mant Of Bavaria has already warned the
Munich Alticemine that it will not be
allowed to publish articles discrediting the
European policy OF the imperial govern
ment.
MILD MEANS TO BE TRIED.
The tone of an inspired note in to.night's
North German Gasette indicates that a
milder form of repression win be tried be-
fore Prin % Bismarck is personally chal-
lenged. The North GernlaA Gazette, re-
| plying to the criticisms published
| In the Cologne Gasstte says
that its insinuations concerning
the policy of the government, backed by no
proof, cannot continue. Every government
must be judged by its acts. What the gov
ernment wants, and on whom IL relies, are
not questions to be settled by ill>humored
articles published by opposition journals.
MUST PRODUCE PROOFS.
In noticing the Hamburger Nochyicht-
EMS repeated assertions that the relations
between Germany and Russia have beon
imperiled since the retirement of Prince
Bismarck, the North German Gazette de-
clares that the accusation leveled against
the foreign policy Of the government is SO
gravely opposed to the truth that the papers
making the charges must be Obliged to pro
duce proofs of or stand discreditsd as resort
ing to any lie in order to assail the governs
ment The Developments of the feud are
watched with the keenest interest. The
opponents of Prince Bismarck say that he
does not fear prosecution, and that he is
ready to meet and, perhaps, wants TO pro-
woke it.
TALK WITH THE LEADERS.
Chancellor Won Caprivi assembled last
night in the grand hall Of the chancellor's
palace representatives from every political
section in the Reichstag, excepting the
socialist section. The emperor sat between
Herr Levetzow and Herr BoetJicher The
scene reminded many of those present
of a similar gathering in the same hall, when
Prince Bismarck, presided hardly a year
ago. After dinner the guests adjourned to
cigars and beer. Those present grouped
themselves around the emperor and re-
ceived an almost unbroken food of
opinions regarding social topics,
Prince Bismarck, the press, the
campaign, the recent snowstorms,
the success of the civil authorities
in coping with the foundations and the
workmen's protection bill, on which there
was an animated convers alton, Herr
Rickert, DR.. Windthorst and others finish-
ing by expressing their appreciation of the
results Of the assiduous work of the bills
committed
THE EMPERoR's ENDURANCE.
Although the emperor had passed an ardu-
GUS official day, beginning early in the morn
ing with a drill at Potsdam, he looked bright
and unwearied. A chance reference to
Count Won Moltke elcted the remark
from the emperor that he could still
rely on the active assistance of
the great tactician. 1t transpired that
in the interval while the emperor was de-
Gliding upon the successor to Count Won
Waldersee the emperor telegraphed to
Count von Moltke asking him to place his
experience at his disposal in selecting Count
Won Waldersee's successor. The count re-
sponded that whatever force remained in
him belonged to his emperor. Thereupon
Gen. Won Schlieffen, before assuming the
position Of chief of staff, went to Sileela
TO receive Count won Moltkes advice. Gen.
Schlieden is an ardent worker, and has for
q long time proved an excellent head of a
bureau. He is not credited with much skill
as taotician. He Is noted chiefly among
his intimates for his capacity for silence.
He is even mGter than Count Won Moltke.
TIE woRKMAN's PROTECTION BILL.
The Reichstag has commenced debate
on the wcrkmen's protection bill The
house adopted an article according twenty
four hours rest on Sunday. The socialists
wanted thirty-s six hours. Herr Bebel, the
socialist leader, in general criticism of the
bill, declared that the workmens party
thoroughly distrust the bill and would un-
ceasingly oppose it unless essential changes
were made in It. In its present form, be
declared, it protected the employers and not
the workman
