Caprivi Steps Ont Just Two Years
After His Predecessors Fall.
CONCESSIONS TO CATHOLICS CAUSE
A CRISIS.

Young william Loses His Favorite on the
Anniversary of Bismarck's Downfall
The Chancellor Had Said He Would
Stand or Fall with the Education Bill
Protestant Protests Change Its Form
and Force Him Out.
BERLIN, March 1S.-Chancellor Won
Caprivi offered his resignation at the
Cabinet meeting today as the result of
his protracted contest on the education
bill, which he, as Prussian Premier, has
championed from the first. The Count
of Sedlitz and Trutzchier, Minister of Ec-
clesiastical affairs and of public instruc
tion, has also rendered his resignation to
the Kaiser. 1t is known that the Kaiser
has pondered for some time movement
of the kind ON Caprivi's part, and has al
so been much disconnected by the trouble
which the educational bill has aroused.
The Kaiser got out of his bed against the
advice of his physicians in order to con-
front the approaching political storm.
Yesterday the Kaiser appeared to be sus-
tanned by the excitement of the occasion
and the necessity of keeping up deter
mined front in view of the probable dis
ruption of the ministry. The Kaiser
himself has earnestly desired to see the
education bill become a law, and was
prepared to strain every cord of his inftu-
ence, asking of Prussia to effect it's adop-
ton. But the storm of opposion has
been gathering in force with every day
and from nearly all of Protestant Prus-
sia has arisen a loud and resolute protest
against the concessions which the
bill proposed to the Roman Catho-
lie faith. The Kaiser has been
reminded of the devotion of his house
to the Lutheran faith, of the early strug-
giles of Brandenberg in
The Cause of the Reformed Religion
and of the more recent contest so bitter.
ly maintained between the Roman HE
rarchy and the Prussian government.
These protes is have been brought to bear
with even greater force upon the Diet,
and member after member has deserted
the cause of the government. AT last,
within a few days. it has become ques-
ton whether in order to drive the bill in
it's present form through the lantag, the
Kaiser and Caprivi would not have to
ALLEVIATE the whole Liberal party.
The Immediate cause Of Caprivi's re-
signatien is. said to be that at the cabinet
meeting today the Kaiser substantially
stated that he favored a material nodih-
cation of the education bill. AS Capriyi
had substantially stated in the Landtag
that he would stand or fall by the bill as
it was, he felt in honor bound to resign.
Chancellor Caprivi is known to have i'll
high degree the soldiers sense of honor
and fidelity to his word, and he is not
likely to eat his words as Minister Won
Gossler did. The Kaiser is known to be
deeply attached to Caprivi.
If Caprivi's resignation should be ac-
cepted, his successor would probably be
Johannes MIGUEL, Prussian minister of
finance, who for more than two years has
stood in the highest favor with the En-
peror, and who has been all along luke
warm if not positively hostile to the Edu-
cation bill. 1t was remarked that yester-
marcks fall from the Chancellorship Of
the Empire.

HOT SHOT FOR MUGWUMPS.
How the Dignity of a Massachusetts, Dem
ocrat Was Ruff1ed.

-S>>---~~>'
WASHINGTON, March 19.-In the House
today, Mr.. Williams of Massachusetts,
rising to question of personal privilege,
moved to strike from the record that Dor
ton of the speech of Mr.. Walker of Mas
sachusetts, delivered Tuesday last, which
was not delivered by him. He would not
complain in the matter were not the
published utterances of a personal and
insulting nature, such as, he thought, had
seldom appeared in the records of Con-
gress. The speech which the gentleman
had printed made a gross attack on class
of men designated 'mugwumps," and on
the New England delegation. After the
gentleman from Massachusetts had de-
clared that he would print the rest of his
remarks, there appeared from sub-head-
ings, inserted by the gentleman himself:
HOT SHOT FOR MUGwUMPs.
WILLIAMS s ARGUMENTS RIDDLED.
Quoting from Mr. Walkers speech.
Mr. Williams objected to the
gentleman's declaration that the
Mugwumps in this House held their
seats by s'gross deception and moral
fraud.' MI. Williams said that in 1884,
he had done himself the honor of break
ing away from the Republican party.
Democratic applause]. He had taken a
prominent, if not a leading part, in the
campaign conducted for the purpose of
electing Democratic President. The
men who left the Republican party for
this purpose now labored under the de-
nomination of "Mugwumps." In that
campaign one of the most difficult tasks
the executive committee had was to
curb and check the ardor and zeal of the
gentleman from Massachusetts Mr..
Walker] who now made this attack on
his former associates. Laughter and
applause]. The Mugwumps had gone
over to the Democratic party. There
was one man saved from the wreck. The
party which had had these men had
struggled to get many of them back. 1t
had brought back the single gentleman
from Worcester. Laughter].
Mr.. Walker said that it was evident to
the House that the gentleman from Mas
sachusetts Mr.. Williams] had arisen for
the purpose of exhibiting himself.
Whether it was of any interest to the
country what little band of Mugwumps
did or thought, or whether those who
associated with them in 1884, and who
had been ashamed of it ever since, were
justified or not, the House could best
judge, Mr.. Walker said, regarding the
headlines to his speech, that he had sew
eral copies of his speech, and his clerk
put the headlines to one of them. By
an accident, which was liable to happen
to any one, that copy was sent to the
printing Office. He asked that the head
lines be stricken from the record. Mr..
Walker said the remarks which he print
ed were clearly within the rules of the
House, and protested against the injus-
tice to himself personally and to7his con-
stituents, of striking one word out of
the record, except the headlines ss1
The House then voted to refer the
whole matter to the committee on print
ing.

STORM WILL FINISH HER.
Schooner Lifted from One Ledge to
Destruction on Another.


PORTSMOUTH, N. H., March 1s.-The
schooner Annie G. Hall went ashore on
Boon Island Ledge, Wednesday night,
but foated at high tide yesterday. AS
her sails were left set when she was
abandoned by the crew, she proceeded
to Godfrey's Cove, near York Harbor,
and there struck another ledge. 1t was
thought early this morning that she
could be gotten off, and the tug Piscata-
qua went to her assistance. When she
arrived, the vessel was found submerged.
The sea was SO rough that the tug was
unable to accomplish anything. The
schooner lies on rocky bottom, and as
the sea is fast making over her, she will
be total wreck before morning. Sea-
faring men here express great surprise
that Captain Davis should abandon the
vessel in the manner he did.

to escape from their duty in Ravachol's

Ravachol condemned. but nobody wants
to be responsible for it. The terror exist
