BERLIN. Nov. IA sensation has been
caused by the abrupt departure of the King
of Saxony from Potsdam, wnere he was
VISITING Emperor William. The sudden
ending of the visit caused report to be
circulated that the Emperor and King had
quarreled over the army measures. Some
sudden rupture had undoubtedly occurred
between the sovereigns, but as the gov
eminent of Saxony only some time ago
assented to the military reorganization
the rupture could not have happened over
the army bill. Members of the diplomatic
circle credit another report. which has IL
that the difference arose over the Emper-
or's proposal to prosecute Prince Bismarck,
whose latest revelations as to how he pre-
cipitated war with France by falsfying the
famous Ems dispatch are felt in official
quarters to Justify any measure that may
be adopted TO silence him. The King of
Saxony. it is said. not only opposed Prince
Bismarck's prosecution, but urged the En-
peror to make the first advance towards
reconciliation with Bismarck. After the
private conversation. which lasted two
Lours between the monarchs, the King of
Saxony cut short his visit made brief
without any court official dong the
usual honor of accompanying him TO the
railway station. The Emperor, who had
received him at the station In full uniform
and surrounded by the officers of his house-
hold. entirely ignored his departure. The
incident will not abste the determination
of the King of Saxony to prevent the En-
peror from prosecuting Bismarck.
