BERLIN, June 29.-The action, Of the
government in abandoning it's attitude
Of reserve toward Prince Bismarck, as
evidenced by the threats made in the
official North German Gazette, has caused
a most decided sensation throughout
the empire, and further Developments
are awaited with great interest.
The Tageblaa says: "The die is cast.
Prince Bismarck has attained the OBJ
ject for which he has striyen during the
last two years, and has fore ed the gov
ernmeut to take up the gauntlet he has
so often thrown at its feet. But to ft-
tain this Prince Bismarck has been OBJ
ligeu to abandon the role OF an anony-
nous journalist. He has personally
taken his place in the breach. With
the full weight OF his historical name
he exposes Chancellor Won Caprivi to
the eyes Of foreign nations and discred.:
its him by means of reckless dialectic."
"All patriots" the Tageblalt adds,
'twill regard the procedure with aching
hearts; but at the same time they will
admit that the government acts in self
defense when it resolves to no longer
expose itself the poisoned arrows OF its
adversary. Chancellor Won Caprivi's
question whether Prince Bismarck's
conduct is patriotic will be answered
by majority OF the nation with asor.
rowiul but decided negative. Out and
out Bismarckians may take the part OF
the prince against the government, but
it is impossible to believe that the pro-
nunciamento OF this civilian Wallen.
stem will be crowned with success.
The Eossische Zsiting says: "a single
false stop on the part Of the goyern-
ment in the contest now openi en-
barked upon may lead to tragedy. No
matter what the opinion about Bis
marck may be, il will not be a>Bismarck
tragedy"
Continuing, the paper says: "we
merely hope the government will not
execute its threat to take action againet
the creator Of German unity"
The National ZcitltRg says it trusts the
dispute will soon be ended. 1t assumes
that Prince Bismarck's attitude Is in
tiuehced by resentment at the Emperor
OF Austria refusing him an audience
when he was in Vienna to attend Count
Bismarck's marriage.
The National Zitit'lq then appeals to
Prince Bismarck's patriotism to end
what it terms a "regrettable political
spectacle"
TIE OFFENSIVE LANGUAGE.
The language Of Prince Bismarck,
which has apparently walked the
government up to determination to
prosecute him, appears in an interview
published IN the West DeLttSche ALlgen.cire
Zeitung, the princes new organ in
Cologne. According to Prince Bismarck,
the emperor thought his personal
amiability would win the Russians.
Intermediates possibly appointed for
tho purpose brought to the ears OF the
emperor, even before he left 81. Peters
burg, remarks that had been made by
members Of the cars circle which left
no doubt Of the political failure OF his
visit. Under these circumstances, the
emperor's immediate journey to Eng
land followed up by the East African
treaties, assumed the aspect of demon
stration against Russia. This naturally
resulted In the visit ofthe French feet
to Cronstudt. In the course OF the in
terview Prince Bismarck said further:
"When read Gen. Won Caprivi'a first
speeches as chancellor saw that / had
been entirely deceived in my estimate
OF him-a thing that seldom happened
to me. always liked him until then.
| / thought him firm and sincere and
generally reticent. l never recon-
mended Gen. Won Caprivito the position
of chancellor. had oncespoken to. the
emperor about him as suitable for the
position OF Prussian primo minister at
some future period. This was long be-
fore the emperor demanded point blank
that / ask to be relieved from Office,
| which / refused to do, offering passive
resistance to the demand. The emperor
had been in secret negotiations with
Gen. Won Caprivi, meanwhile keeping
me away from Berlin under the pretext
Of sparing my health, but really in order
to keep me from actual contact with the
political situation"
STILL THE SENSATION.
The North German Gasestes article
against Prince Bismarck continues to
be the all.absorbing topic of the press.
Newspapers of all shades excepting
conservative journals and Bis
marck's own organs discuss the article.
Bismarcks organs maintain complete
| atlennn ON the subject.
