Should Bismarck continue to assail the Chan
cellor. however, the Emperor will cling to him
through thick and thin rather than give the
people an opportunity to say that Bismarck
has routed his successor.
Tho question who will follow Caprivi has
been revived by the disagreement OF the En-
peror and Chancellor in tho Worlds Fair mat
ter. Bismarck is a manifest impossibility.
Waldersee's chances once woro good. but his
manifold intrigues and his underhand cam
paign against Caprlvi have injured him almost
beyond recovery in the eyes OF the Emperor.

French Embassy and the German army might
be spared scandal. The charge now in prepa-
ration is intended evidently to keep Odanns
in prison tho rest OF his life so that he may
have no opportunity to tell what he knows. 1t
