CRISIS IN GERMANY.
Count Won Caprivi Disagrees With the
Kaiser and Resigns as Chancellor.

Count Won Caprivi Disagrees With the
Kaiser and Resigns as Chancellor.
Startling news is received from Berlin
TO the effect that Count Won Caprivi,
Chancellor of the German Empire, and
Count Won Redlitz-Trutzscher, Minister
of Ecclesiastical Affairs, Instruction, and
Medical Affairs, have resigned owing, il
is said, to the Kaiser's orders that discus
sion of the primary education bill, which
has been the object of bitter opposition,
should be postponed.
Caprivi's resignation was the result of
the protracted contest on the education
bill, which the Chancellor as q Prussian
Premier had championed from the first.
The Kaiser has been much Disconnected by
the opposition which this measure had
aroused, and got out of his sick bed
against the orders Of his physicians in
order to confront the threatened political
storm.
The Parliamentary disturbance over
the Prussian education bill began as soon
as that measure was introduced into the
Landtag early in the present year The
National liberal and the Freisineige par
ties have bitterly opposed the bill, which
only recognizes Moravians, Quakers,
Greeks, Anglicans, Hebrews, and Old
Lutherans as duly qualified religious
bodies, and as such to receive State aid
for their schools. No recognition is
given to Methodists, Old Catholics, Uni
tarians, and Deists, and free thinkers
generally, and the opponents Of the bill
do not think it justice to those sects to
compel their members to have their chill
dren subjected to compulsory religious
teachings by members of other sects.
Under the provisions Of the bill, parents
who are neither Catholics or Lutherans
can profess to be adherents of any one Of
these sects, and can have their children
educated in accordance Herewith.
The Kaiser, himself, has earnestly de-
sired to see the education bill become a
law, and was prepared to strain every
cord of his influence as King of Prus-
STA to effect its adoption. But the storm
Of opposition has been gathering in force
with every day, and from nearly all of
Protestant Prussia has arisen loud and
resolute protest against the concessions
which the bill proposed to the Roman
Catholic faith.
The storm Of opposition induced the
Kaiser to propose important modifica-
tons of the bill, but as Caprivi had sub
stantially stated in the Landtag he would
stand or fall by the bill as it was he felt
bound in honor to resign.
Caprivi's resignation took place on the
second anniversary of the fall of Bis
marck.
