prr,ty. July 2i.-rolitics have made strange
,.dfcilnws hero in Germany since the begin
ni,c Of the present regime. but tho recent
oor,hin ,tion OF interests by Prince Bismarck
.rd 20 mt Waidcrsco Is probably tho most
rsmorknbio coalition OF the new era
wolIerscc. as favorito OF Crown
Prince William. was treated by Bismarck
vhen Chancellor OF the empire IA his
Interest enemy. and when Waldersoe
succooded Moltko rs tho loader Of military
Germany, mono regarded tho fallen Prince
with moro untcInpercd suspicion and aversion
than did he. Now, however. political misfor-
tune Inns reconcilcd these former enemies. and
they nro working together for tho downfall OF
their common enemy Count Caprivi. Hence
the pcrsistont rumors Of the now friendship OF
the fallen Chancellor and tho fallen Chief OF
Staff Hence tho virulcnt attacks in tho news
papers controlled w both
Tho existence OF this combination has been
suspected for several weeks. and by special
injuries among officials CT wide knowledge
IN such matters your ccrrospondcnt has been
enabled to gather some trustworthy inforna-
iton as to the methods and purposes Of the al
lied statesmen. Tho details of tho combina-
ton were arranged during Waldcrseo's two
recent visits Mt Fricdrlchsruhe. Waldersee
Is Unfortunately ambitious. and his ambitions
are fed by his American wife. He hopes
for tho Chancellorship. should Caprivi
fall and therefore does not neglect to aid and
abet Bismarck In the latter's attack on the
Government Not only does Waldersee coun-

man dailies under his influence. but sees TO it
that tho most virulent articles OF the Bis
MARKHAM press are REPRODUCED by his literary
aides. Bismarck encourages Waldorsee in his
hopes. knowing that IL he can overthrow
Capriv he can with still greater ense over
throw his successor and again have ut his feet
the Emperor and practically oil Germany.
Count Capr!vi is aware OF the intriEues. as is
shown by the statement made by him that in
no emergency need Prince Bismarck ever
hope to exercise influence upon the Govern
ment Of Germany In the archives OF the For
eign Office Count Caprivi has documents
which show how. before the declaration OF
war between Bismarck and Waldersee they
worked together with earnestness and effect
In the Prussian Parliament. 1t Is probable in
the present case. however. that the conspira-
tors have overreached themselv by mlscnl-
cuating the Emperor's strength Of character.
The School bill crisis. the retirement OF
Count Won Zedlitz- Tructzscher and tho break
with the Clericals undoubtedly weakened Ca
privi. and tho appointment Of Count Botho zu
Eulenburg was intended by the Emperor as
the prelude to Caprivi's final resignation. The
violent attacks OF Bismarck upon the Chance-
lor. however. convinced the Emperor that
such course would be impolitic. as 1t would
be mistaken by the people for q sign of defer
ence to Bismarckian opinion and would injure
the prestige OF the Crown. Personally. moro
over. the Emperor Ia closely attached to Ca
privL The unofficial aides Of the Crown were
at once hurried to the heads OF parties
to sound them as to tho conditions of
their supporting the present Government. and.
after some dick oring. partial peace was estab-
lished with tho Clericals. who are now showing
their change Of heart by fighting tooth and
nail for the Government in the Friedrichs-
ruhe. Potsdam feud.

week. DR.. Lieler. the Clerical leader for in

dignity and Intelligence with which Caprivi
had managed the Governments side OF the
dispute. 1t is believed. also. that the National
Liberals, tho Independents Frelsnnige and
the Free Conservatives. perhaps even the
Social Democrats. have given assurances ro-

Among the homogeneous parties said now to

slight community OF interest in the fact that
they all fear the results of Walicrseo's posi-
