That Stir Up the German Prsss-No Hope Of a
Reconciliation = Bismarcks Last Attack
Upon the Emperor is objectionable.

in the Ncue Freie PreSse which has ex-
cited so much attention throughout Eu-
rope, Prince Bismark, after disavowing
hostility toward Austria, said:
my policy has been entirely changed,
because Germany has no longer any in
! fuence upon the policy of Russia. We
| can no longer make our voice heard in
! Russia. What is Statesman's duty?
/ He must see danger approaching, and
! get out Of it's way. He must know
! whether the ditch is too broad to jump.
The personal confidence Of the Car has
! been lost because the Gar trusted me.
possessed influence over the Russian
Ambassador at Berlin. The last time
spoke to the Car he said:
Il believe you. l trust you; but are
YOU sure to remain in office?
surprised at the doubt, l replied, i
am quite certain to remain Minister as
! long as live
II believe the Car knew the fate in
store for me. Ny successor has no per-
sonal authority, and no confidence. This
important factor which influenced Rus
STA, and is now lost, has changed the po-
litical situation. Europe has
changed most decidedly for
the worst. I regard it as the
highest political aim that peace should
be maintained. Where shall we get to
if we wage successful war and then
have the neighbors continually dream
ing OF revenge? There is no chance OF
me returning to power. The bridges
are burned behind me. They speak Of
making me President Of the Staatsrath.
Why not adjutant? might then sup
port the Emperor and his Ministers in
turn. But | have not enough Christian
humility for such post. 1t is improo-
able that any outward necessity could
induce me to enter the political arena.
D"The mistake in Germany'S present
policy is that the wire which connected
us with Russia is broken. Once on the
wrong path it is difficult to turn back.
That is not my business; but you cannot
refuse to allow an old politician to crit
icise the condition Of his country, for
during the few years that are left TO me
will maintain the right TO grumbet"
This mornings dailieS throughout
the empire discuss at length the Bis
marck interview, which first appeared
in the German press yesterday. EX-
cepting the Hamburger NGcIlTichte1L,
Bismarck's mouthpiece, aud his second
airy organ, the Munich Allegenletne
ZeittcRg, few, if any, respectable jour
nails have anything but words OF con-
domination. The more obscure Bayarian
daiies have nothing but praise for the
ex-Chancellor, however, for they find
in his attacks upon the central govern
ment fine text for state rights arti-
Giles. The Munich NctteStG Nac'ric'lten
is especially warm in its commentator.
The LejDziqer 1GgebLGtt points out
that Prince Bismarck, when in office,
hunted men 10 their ruin for saying
less against his regime than he has now
said against the administration OF Count
Caprivi. His charges against Caprivi TO
the effectsthat the latter has forfeited
the Cars confidence are said TO be con-
trary to notorious facts, for whatever
may have been the Cars feeling to-
ward Emperor William, he has repeat
edly taken pains to emphasize his par
TALLY to the present Chancellor
The Freisinnige press directs atten-
tion TO the fact that Bismarck's chief
commentator in the eyes Of the Car
was his hatred and persecution of the
Poles. This policy, however, while
winning the feeting approval OF the
Car, estranged thousands Of Polish sub
jects from the Crown. The Cancellation
of the Poles by Emperor William and
Caprivi is their widest departure from
Prince Bismarck's Russian policy.
While this departure may have weaken
ed Germany at ST. Petersburg, it is said
1t has strengthened the empire incalcul-
ably at home.
The last chance of n reconciliation
tween Prince Bismarck and the EN-
peror is acknowledged by all to have
been removed by the incorporate utter
ances in the Vienna interview. Up to
the day when the interview was given,
the Emperor was still eager TO renew
friendly relations with the EXCHANGED
Tor, and, with view to showing his
good will, ne sent exceptionally warm
| congratulations TO the Count and Count
ess Herbert Bismarck on their wedding
day. All personal feeling aside, how
ever it is now regarded as a political
impoSsi6ility that the Emperor should
in any way countenance Prince BIS
marcks utterances or seek closer rela-
tions with man who has done his best
to sow seeds OF discord in the Triple Al
lance.
LONDON, June 27.-The Vienna cor
respondent telegraphs that the Bismarck
demonstrations are about TO result in
I general shaking up Of the diplomatists
directly or indirectly concerned in
them. Prince Reuss, it is said, will re-
tire from the German Embassy in vi
emma because, instead Of leaving the
city as ordered, for the ostensible pur-
pose of taking holiday, he became dip
lomically i'll. The Emperor has decided
to request the recall OF Schouva-
loft, the Russian Ambassador in Berlin,
who was Count Herbert Bismarck's best
man. Even the aged Gen. Schwenitz,
German Ambassador at st. Petersburg,
will be a sufferer from the remarkable
state of affairs brought about By the
ex-Chancelor's trip TO Vienna and
Count Herbert's wedding. The En-
peror holds him responsible, it is said,
for neglecting to represent to the st.
Petersburg court the utter inexpediency
of allowing Count Schouyalof to take
official part in the wedding OF Bismarck.
