In general. has been clearly and exclusively
foFsshadowed in the dispatches TO the
Associated Press, and its correspondent
here Is now in position TO state that the
Information which he has cabled upon this
subject sas obtained from Chancellor Ca

source OF his inform alton. Now. however,
Capriyi IS again a private citizen. and the
seal of silence imposed by his Office mas

sented to give the Associated Press an in

In consequence, the correspondent

OF the emperor and Count Botho "a Eulen-
berg was the anti-revoluiionary measures.
TIE second bone of contention between
the same parties, he added, was the pro-
posed treatment of the Polish question.
Caprlvi said he could not acquiesce in
Eulenberg's opinion that drastic and ex-
csp;ionai measures we're necessary TO
combat the progress of socialism. More

whole policy has been based on reconcilia-
tion of the social differences, and eonciiia-
tion OF the Poles. Both questions. how
ever, have been rendered acute lately,

In an audience which the chancellor
was given by the emperor the latter ex-
pressed his dissatisfaction that Caprivi
was without a working majority in the
reichstag, which, in his majesty's opinion.
accounted tor the fact that the adoption of
the proposed Soeialistic measures was
doubtful. The emperor also insisted upon
reunion o. the ehaneeilorship and the
Prussian premiership. and here again
