evidenced by the threats made in the
official North German Gazette, has
caused most decided sensation
throughout the empire, and further de-

The Tageblatt says: "The die is cast.
Prince Bismarck has attained theeob-
ject for which he has striven durin e
the last two years, and has forced the
government to take up the gauntlet he
has so often thrown at its feet. But to
attain this Prince Bismarck has been
obliged to abandon the role of an anon
ymous journalist. He has personally
taken his place in the breach. With
the full weight of his historic name he
exposes Chancellor Won Caprivi to the
eyes of foreign nations, and discretfts
him by means of reckless dialectic.

marckians may take the part of the
prince against the government, but it
is impossible to believe that the pronun-

will be crowned with success"
The VOSSiSche Zeitung says: GA single
false step on the part OF the government
in the contest now openly embarked
upon may lead to tragedy. No matter
what the opinion about Bismarck may
be, it will not be a Bismarck tragedy"
Continuing, the paper says: I'VE

The IncendIary Interviews ;,
BERLIN, June 29.-The language of
Prince Bismarck, which has apparently
walked the government up to deter

interview published in the West

to the car at Narva and with asserting
to Chancellor Won Caprivi's greatest
error, precipitate breaking of every
link that bound Germany and Russia.
According to Prince Bismarck, the
emperor thought his personal amiabil-
ity would win the Russians. Interme-
diaries, possibly appointed for the pur-
pose, brought to the ears of the emperor,
even before he left st. Petersburg, re-
marks that had been made by
members of the cars circle which

This naturally resulted in the visit of
the French fleet to COrnStadt. The ap-
pointment of Polish bishop at Posten
was also mistake in the international
and external policy. In the course of
the interview, Prince Bismarck said
further:
'When read Gen. Won Caprivi's first

resistance to the demand. The emperor
had been in secret negotiations with
Gen. Won Caprivi, meanwhile keeping
me away from Berlin under the pretext
of sparing my health, but really in order
to keep me from actual contact with the
political situation"
The Vossiche Zeitung, commenting
upon the article in the official North
German Gazette upon the attitude of
Bismarck and the threat contained
therein to publish certain documents to
SHOW that Prince Bismarck once strong
ly supported projects he now condemns,
says the article shows it is possible for
all truth to be put aside and the crush
ing of Prince Bismarck to be under
taken.
