BRRLIN, March 19.--Chancellor Won
Caprivi has resigned. The report has
excited the greatest sensation through
ont the city and crowds throng the
Unter den Linden discussing the minis
'terial crisis. Cawivi offered his resig-
nation at the cabinet meeting as the re-
sult of the protracted contest ON the
education bin, which the chancellor as
Prussia's premier has championed from
the first. At this moment there is no
definite information as to the action of
the kaiser ON the premier's resignation.
Il il known that the kaiser has appre-
hended for some time q movement OF
the kind on Caprivi's part, and has also
bean much disappointed by the trouble
which the educational bill has
aroused. "A The immediate cause Of Ca.
privi's resignation is said to be that OF
cabinet meeting the kaiser substan-
TALLY stated that he favored material
modification Of the education bill. As
Caprivi had substantially stated in the
landtag that he would stand or fall by
the bill as it was, he felt bound IN honor
to resign. Chancellor Csprivi is known
to possess in high degree the soldiers
sense of honor and fidelity to his word
and he is not likely to eat his words al
Minister Won Gossler did. The kaiser'i
choice now is either to force the bill
through a. it stands or accept CaprivTi
resignation.
The kaiser is known to be deeply at
tached to Caprivi and it is thought h
may insist upon the Conservative ant
Ultramontane combination in the land
tag to pass the bill. The resignation O
Minister Zeidlitz Trutxschler is necessi
tated, IL the bill is seriously modified o
withdrawn, by the fact that he creates
the education bill from beginning b
end and submitted it TO the cabinet il
the form in which it was to be presented
to the house without any previous con
Eultation with his colleagues as is Gus
tomary. Ii Caprivi's resignation shoul
be accepted. his successor would prob
ably be johannes MIGUEL, Prussian min
lister of finALce, who for more than tw
years has stood in the highest favo
with the emperor and who has all aIon
been lukewarm toward the educatio
/ hill.
