Causing a Sensation THROUGHOUT
the Empire.
ATTITUDE OF LEADING PAPERS

All-AbsorbiDg Topic OF the Press
Bismarck to Be Crushed.


BERLIN, June SO.-The action Of the gov
eminent in abandoning its attitude of re-
serve toward Prince Bismarck, as evil
denced by the threats made in the official
North German Gazette, has caused most
decided sensation throughout the empire,
and further developments are awaited with
great interest The Ta0ebidtt says:
q 1.-The die is cast. Prince Bismarck has
attained the object for which he has strlven
during the last two years and las forced
the government to take UP the gauntlet he
has sosoften thrown at its feet. But to at
tain this Prince Bismarck has been obliged
10 abandon the role of an anonymous jour-
nalist. He has personally
TAKEN HIS PLACE IN THE BREACH.
With the full weight of his historic name
he exposes Chancellor Won Csprivi to the
sneers OF foreign nations. and dlscredits
him by means or reckless didactic.
All patriots" the Tdgsbldtt adds, twill
regard the procedure with aching hearts.
But. at the same time they will admit that
the government acts in self defense when
1t resolves to no longer expose itself to the
poisoned arrows of its adversary Chan
cellor Won CaprIvi's question whether
Prince Blsmercks conduct is patriotic,
will be answered by a majority OF the
nation with sorrowful but decided mega
tive. Out and out Bismarckians may take
the part of the prince against the govern
menh but it is impossible to believe that
the pronounciamento. of the civilian Wal
lensteain will be crowned with success"
The Vossfsche Zeftun1 says: "a single
false step on the part Of the government
In The contest now, openly embarked upon
MAY LEAD TO A TRAGEDY.
No matter what the opinion about Bis
marck may be. it will not be a bismarck
tragedy" Continuing, the paper says:
I'VE merely hope the government will not
execute its threat to take action against
the creator OF German 1nity.n
The National Zeitun0 says 1t trusts the
dispute will soon be ended. IL assumes
that Prince Bismarck attitude is In
huenced by resentment at the emperor of
Austria refusing him an audience when he
was in Vienna TO attend Count Herbert
Bismarck's wedding. The National ZeitunG
then appeals 10 Prince Bismarck's patriot
ism to end what 1t terms a regrettaDl ole
political spectacle.
The North German Gdzctte's article against
Prince Bismarck continues 10 be the all
absorbing topic OF the press Newspapers
OF all shades, excepting conservative
journals and Bismarck's own organs, dis
cuss the article. Bismarck's organs main
tain complacence on the subject. The
Hamburger Ndcluichtei has not even re-
produced the North German Gdzette's arti-
cles and is supposed to be awaiting in
structions from Prince Bismarck. The
G0Srscn Courier alone defends Prince Bis
marck. 1t says:
prince bismarck never intended to
work Ill to the fatuerlgnd. fne struggle
was not begun by Prince Bismarck, but
was forced upon. him. Since he left office
he has been the
VICTIM OF sLANDER
and misrepresentation, aSainst which he
has only defended himself"
The Catholic organ &c, mdaia says: 1.-THE
North Gefmdt Gdzette's article shows the
pain felt by the government in having to.
adopt an inmical attitude towards the
creator of German unity. hut they can con-
sole themselves over the fact that for TWO
