ton of Count Won Zedlitx.
BERLIN, March 22.-The emperor has ac-
cepted the resignation Of Count
Won Zedlitz, minister of educa-
ton and religion. The Kreuz Zeitung
says that Chancellor Won Caprivi;.
prolonged retention in office is impossible.
Once the crisis is over he must resign, as he
has lost the confidence of parliament.
Chancellor Won Caprivi, who was yesterday
summoned by Emperor William to a con-
ference at Rubertustock, returned to Berlin
last night. The chancellor waited upon
Or. von Boetticher, vice pre- ,ident of
the Prussian council OF ministers, and
conferred with him on the ministerial
crisis. The date OF the emperor's return is
uncertain. 1t is reported that the condi-
ton OF his health necessitates on his part
complete abstention from public business.
A report was started to-day that Chancellor
Won Caprivi had resigned the presidency
OF the Prussian council Of ministers. but
that he would retain the chan cellorship.
1t can be said, with no fear of denial
from any quarter, that the o.iginat tors of
this report knew nothing of the facts Of the
case, and that their statements are based
purely on cOniecture

CUTTING RATES.
East Bound Freight Tariffs Being Shaded
by Some Lines.

by Some Lines.
CHICAGO, March 22.-Rumors Of cut rates
on east-bound freight were flying thick to-
day. This was especially The case after the
statement Of east-bound shipments for last
week was given out. showing that some of
the strong lines fell behind their weaker
competitors in the amount of bust
ness handled. The Wabash, for example,
carried nearly 4, 900 tons more freight than
the Lake Shore, while the Chicago & Erie
did not fall 1000 tons behind the Wabash.
There are number of railroad officials
who do not hesitate to pronounce this al
most conclusive evidence that rates are be-
ing cut, and lines that are supposed to be
especially guilty in this respect are the
Wabash, the Nickel Plate, the Hoosac Tun-
mel route and the Lehigh Valley. One
shipper made the statement to-day that
there is cut OF not less than II cents per
100 pounds on grain from the Mississippi
river to the Atlantic seaboard, but railway
men generally think this must be an ex-
agggeration. 1t is said that the flour rate is
also being shaded

MISFORTUNE'S BENEFITS.

Talleyrand's and Other Mems Fame Duo
to Accid nts in Early Life.
Talleyrand was the greatest diplo-
mate of his day. His father was a
military officer, and the boy would no
doubt have been educated TO the same
profession but for an accident that be-
fell him in childhood, asserts the
Youths Companion. ... ..#
After the fashion of the time, he
was intrusted to tile care of a woman
some miles away from home While
in her charge his foot was dislocated
by fall. 1t was not properly cared
for, and his parents did not become
aware of the fact until it was too late
to correct the error.
The abnormal strain brought upon
the other foot soon induced lameness
in that also. and the boy thus became
a cripple for life. This seeming mis-
fortune determined a change in the
plans of his parents for him. and as a
result the name of Talleyrand has be-
come one of the most familiar among
the great ones of modern history.
