The immediate cause of Chancello,
Won Caprivi's resignation is not entirely
clear. 1t is known, however, that the
differences between him and Count Bo.
tho Eulenburg had grown too sharp h.
be ignored or compromised. CapriVi at
first was thoroughly opposed to severe
steps against the Social Democrats and
the anarchists, while Eulenburg favored
extreme measures. Under pressure from
the Emperor the Chancellor is said to
have yielded several points during the
week, but his master only led him into
trouble with the Federal Ministers, in
whose Council he presided. Several
Ministers opposed his proposal that the
Reichstag amend the penal code SO as to
deal more severely with the Socialists.
The individual States, they said, should
be left to legislate within their own Dor.
ders for the suppression of Social Democ.
racy and anarchy. The Chancellor was
equally embarrassed when the question
of financial reforms were preached. Tie
enVoys made several demands for changes
in the financial relations of the States
to the Empire, but the Chancellor was
manifestly out of sympathy with all Of
them.
Caprivi is believed to have been crushed
between the Emperor and the Federal
ENJOYS, not going lar enough to suit the
former and going too far to suit the lat
ter. The difficulties of his position were
increased, moreover, by the intrigues Of
MIGUEL and Eulenburg, who for more
than year have spared no effort to dis
credit his politics and diminish his In
fluence with the crown. One OF the
Chancellor's last acts before offering bic
resignation was to notify the Relcn'
Bank that the decree prohibiting ad'
vances on Prussian stocks had been can
celled as no longer necessary on either
economic or political grounds. The En-
peror had arranged to leave Potsdam to.
day to hunt in the neighborhood Of
Blankenburg, but he gave up the trpm
view of the disruption of his Cabinet.
The Cologne Gazette says that the
Chancellor rendered his resignation 70
