and Chancellor Won Caprivi. He main
tains, however, absolute silence except

the emperor. His special organs have
also become reticenL The Hamburger
Nachrichten for DAYS past has not made
the slightest reference to the situation.
This does not mean the cessation of
the agitation. The parties are quietly
excited and are arranging themselves
for or against Prince Bismarck. The
leaders of the National Liberals, though
disappearing of the princes recent
utteranceS, are ready to resent any
interference with him, and to oppose
the government If it ventures upon
prosecution. A strong section of the
Conservatives are in similar mood.
On the other hand, the Freisinnige
party and the Center party want the
government to take immediate action
against the prince. At meeting of the
Center party the speakers declared that
