CHANCELLOR cAPRlvi RESIGNS
He Cannot Agree with the Emperor on
the Education Bill.

Chancellor Caprivi offered his resignation
at the cabinet meeting on the 18th, MS re-
suit OF protractcd contest on the education
bill which the chancellor, as Prussan pre-
mler, has champloned from the first. AT this
moment there Is no definite information as to
the action of the kaiser on the prcmicr's rcslg-
nation. 1t Is known that the kaiser has ap-
pretended for some time n movement of the
kind on Caprlyi's part and has also been much
Disconnected by the trouble which the cduca-
ton bill has aroused.
The immediate cause Of CapriyI's rcsigna-
tion is said to be that, at the cabinet meeting,
the kaiser cmphatlcaliy stated that he favored
material modification of the education bill.
As Capriyi had substantially stated In the
l.andtag that he would stand or fall by the
bill as It was, he felt bound In honor to re-
Sign. Chancellor Capriyi is known to have In
high degree the soldiers sense OF honor
and fidelity 10 his word, and he Is not likely
to cat his words rs Minister Won Gossicr dld.
The kaiscr's choice now Is either TO force the
bill through as 1t Is, or 10 accept Caprlvrs
resignation. The kaiser Is known 10 10
deeply attached to Caprivi, and II Is thought

form In which 1t was TO be presented TO the
House without any previous consultation with
his colleagues, as Is customary.

his successor would probably be Johannes

more than two years has stood IN the high,s,
favor with the emperor, and who has all

and bcsought her neIghbors to search the
mine. party was accordingly organized
and twelve miners made thorough search OF
the works without finding him.
When the news was broken to the wife she
became distracted, and It was feared for q
time that she would go mad. However, she
became strangely calm and said she was Ger.

A few days later Mrs. Traynor disappeared.
1t was supposed the loss of her husband had
unbalanced her mind, and that she had wan

A dispatch from Springfield, Missouri, gives
the following details Of triple tragedy near
that place.
John Bright lived in tho northwestern part
OF fancy County, and was exceedingly jealous
OF his wifc. One morning she started TOWARD
the spring for bucket Of water. Bright, gun
in hand, left the house, and moment later
the children heard shot Bright returned
shortly and said that Mrs. Bright had been
shot. He again left the house and did not re.
turn. The children found the dead body OF
their mother and gave the alarm.

search for the murderer commenced. He wa.
arrested Friday and Jailed Mt Ozark Station.
His preliminary hearing was set for the next
day Mt Forsythe. The people of the county
had been worked up to II high degree of cx,
element over the crime, but the officers
seemed to have no fear Of mob violence Nc
attempt wns made TO intercept the oiliccr.
while they were conducting their prisoner to
Forsythe, and when the court was opened
there were no indications that mob violence
would be rcsorted to. The court room was
crowded with interested listeners and the pre-
limlnary hearing was progressing quietly
when mob of about 100 men, all well armed
and with determination to avengc the wife
murdercrs crime written on every face, sur
rounded the building In which court was
being held
deputation came In and demanded tn.
prisoner. The justice and Deputy shcrii
Charles Williams argued with them, ana
Williams declared he would not surrender
Bright. The crowd advanced and William
drew two rcvolvers, but before he could use
them he was shot through the heart.
Bright was quickly seized and was dragged
out OF the court room. He was given no op
portunity to confess or deny the charg,
against him, nor to say last word. A ropt
was unceremoniously placed about his neck
One end was swung over the limb Of neigh
