| BErIIS. March 20--Since the fall OF Bis
| mGrck. two years ago. the political tension
| here has not been so intense us Il has been to
| day. From tho elegant Killers. Inter del
| Linden. to the bare cafes OF tho Karl Strass
in the students quarter. the one topic ha
been tho action of Xeditz and Capriyi. To
night the restaurants Inter den Linden ar,
crowded with officers and politicians eagerl,
discussing tho probable course OF the nbsen
Emperor. The general opinion is that Zedit;
will he allowed to 60 and Capriyi will be com
manded to stay.
Early this morning Chancellor Won Capriv
was summoned by special courier to the
Emperor at Hubertusstock. and before noon
ho had left the city. The Emperor. it Is said
has refused TO accept the Chanccllor's first
resignation. and the Chancellor has made n
second request TO be allowed to retire. Only
under the utmost pressure. IL is thought. will
Caprivi consent to serve longer. as he feels
personally aggricvcd by his treatment at the
hands OF the Emperor in tho management OF
tho School bill In conversation with Albert
Won LcvctZow. First President of the Rcichs-
tag yesterday. ho said with much feeling
that no believed lie had not been
treated fairly by the Emperor. and
should therefore insist upon being al
lowed to retire. At the Enperor's urgent re-
quest he had committed himself. without re-
serve. to tho School bill ut 1t stands. and had
placed behind it tho weight OF his whole
authority. both MS Prussinn Minister resi-
dent and as Chancellor Of tho empire. Despite
this the Emperor. without my previous notice.
had changed his attitude to tho hill. thus
leaving him CaprivN In the lurch This. tho
Chancellor said. was a direct affront to him rs
the chief adviser Of the crown. and showed
conclusivcly that his usefulness in Office was
ut IN end.
Despite tho defnteness Of this declaration
it is believed in Parliamentary circles that tho
Emperor and Caprivi will ultimately be recon-
ciled. aud that Caprivi will swallow his chngrin
at the Emperor's request. and reconsider HE
resignation. Tho development OF the present
crisis was hastened. without doubt. as tho
Chancellor suggested to Herr Won Lcvetzow
by the abruptness with which the Emperor an
nounced. in the Crown Council. his chunGe of

its being administered under the gnise ot HeI-
