Emperor William. 10th to Part with
Caprivi. May Induce Him to Reconsider

Emperor William, 10th to Part with
Caprivi. May Induce Him to Reconsider
His Determination to Resign.
BERLIN, March 21.-Emperor Will
liam has summoned Chancellor Won
Caprivi to come to him at Hubertu-
stock. There is little room for doubt
as to the resignation of Count Caprivi,
although every effort is made in high
political circles to keep the facts of the
cabinet crisis absolutely secret.
Both Caprivi and Minister Zedlitz
are awaiting the action of the kaiser
on their designations, and it is believed
that if the kaiser commands Caprivi to
remain as chancellor the command will!
be willingly obeyed. Count Zedlitz,
it is thought, will persist in re-
signing under any circumstances.
1t is believed that the Nord
Deutsche Zeitung reflects the views OF
the kaiser in the declaration that the
government will refuse the suggestion
of the ultramontanes to postpone the
crisis by adjourning the diet. The
general opinion |is that he will de-
eide to keep both, and that
Gen. Caprivi will have his
scruples of honor overcome bv
being directed. instead of requested, 10
remain at the head Of the empire.
The primary education bill, the
cause of this split in the ministry, has
caused widespread aud bitter opposi-
ton among the members of the
Prussian diet 1t is entirely a
Prussian measure, but among
many religious sects: the . popu-
lar sense of justice revolts against
a measure which will force
Methodists, old Catholics, Unita-
rians, deists and freethinkers general.
ly to have their children educated in
some state-recognized creed. The
sects which the hill admits
as duly qualified religious so.
cieties are Moravians, Quak.
ers, Greeks, Anglicans, Jews and old
Lutherans. Parents who are neither
Catholics nor Lutherans can profess to
be adherents of any one of these sects,
and can have their children educated
in accordance Herewith, but it
is hardly probable that they will
do. so should the bill become a law,
which,, to judge from the present out
look is hardly within the range of pos
sibility. The introduction into the diet
was due to Count Sedlitz Won Trutz-
schiller, who has continuously op.
posed any notifications in it.
The chancellor also heartily
supported the measure, but other min
listers opposed it, one even going so
far as to threaten to resign if the
bill was not modified. The emperor
at first refused to accede to any
changes. but finally he agreed to
such notifications as would bring
other religious sects within the provis-
ion of the Till, and it is said that it was
this change of base by the emperor
that caused Count Sedlitz Won Trutz-
schiller to resign.

A MAN in Chicago who possessed a
solitary five-dollar bin and wanted to
blow it in badly, hit upon a novel plan
the other day by which to save and
spend it both. The bill was given him
by friend, and he was determined
not to part with it.. After lengthy
debate with himself he evolved the
brilliant scheme of pawning the note.
He paid visit to his uncle, raised
S4.62 on the bill, and spent it according
to his tastes When further funds came
in he redeemed the original note.
