ru,enburc Chancellor forthwith. and probably
would have been successful had the Emperor
beon able to find satisfactory successor to

There seems to be no doubt that Caprivi is
hound to retire soon. The Nossische Zeit,tno
compares him with tree that has been Cir

mander Meanwhile Caprivi remains In full
confidence OF the Emperor. who has never
swayed from his original admiration OF the
Chancellor. and will conduct the foreign affairs
u the empire as heretofore. 1t Is prophesied
that the rivalry of Eulenburg will introduce
much discord in the relations OF the Emperor
and his advisers during the rest OF Caprivi's
official career. however. as the new Minister
President. although discreet and courteous, is
proud and ambitious.
Count Won Eulenburg comes from one OF the
Oldest Prussan families. which has long cher

he was dismissed in 1881. in consequence OF
his differences with the Chancellor on matters

vately vilifed the Eulenburg family for its
ministerial pretensions. and maintained that
1t was detrimental to the best interests
OF the monarchy that so many mem
bars Of one family should DO invested
with the highest official honors. When
Prince Bismarck began pushing his son
Herbert forward. however. Count Botho Won
Eulenburg returned the Chancellors criti-
cisms with interest By uttering the famous
taunt concerning the dynasty OF the Bis

the bittcrest one in present German society
and politics. and Count Botho's appointment.
therefore. is certain to Illustrate any attempt
to reconcile the Emperor and the exile OF

his dismissal from Office the highest regard Of
