as a defeated man. While the emperor
was in Lieb6nburg Count Eulenburg ten
dered his resignation owing to these
newspaper attacks, Ths emperor read
several Of the offensive articles and is
said to have been greatly annoyed. He
promised to settle the matter at once
and returned 10 Berlin. Then came the
unfriendly Interview between the emperor
and the chancellor as to the
press feud. The truth of this narrative
is TO be proved, however. Among many
OF Chancellor Caprivis supporters the
opinion is that he realized long ago that
his position was undermined and he well
coined the occasion to abandon the Office
which his opponents had made a burden.
The emperor Is said to intend Count Eul-
enburg for the governorship of Reichs-
land, but Prince Hohenlohe opposese this
choice.
There is no reason to expect any rad
teal change for the better" says Herr
Richter, FOR, under Prince Bismarck, the
union of the offices gave rise to much
difficulty. The gravest complaints arose
from the stagnation of Prussian legis-
lation. Improvement is possible only
through the creation of independent min
listers who can relieve the chancellor of
his universal responsibility"
Chancellor Caprivfs departure has GER
tainly cleared a great obstacle from the
way of agrarian aspirations, but the dan
ger Of a tariff war with America over the
sugar tax has come nearer. AS to the
parliamentary programme the removal of
Chancellor Caprivi has bettered in no re-
spect the prospect of the new tax bills.
The radicals cannot hail the advent OF
Prinee Hohenlohe, doubling as they do,
his tact and ability to direct the Reich
stag. In the Reichstags of 1871 and 1873
ne was merely an ornament"
The Hamburger Nachrichten, which
speaks for Prince Bismarck, has
a moderate article without a trace of
triumph over Chancellor Caprivi. 1T is
q mistake to suppose that his fall was
due TO his attitude to the repressive laws"
says the writer. His fall was owing
solely to his incapacity to deal with tho
entire situation. Solid administrative ac-
tion, with only radicals, Poles and So
cialists behind him, had become impos-
sible."
The old tory Kreuz Zeitung rejoices in
the crisis: I'VE desire to recall it says,
"how the semi-of1cial press sought to
identify the emperor's policy with Chan
cellor Caprivrs. The dismissal of Chan
cellor Caprivi shows the emperor was con-
vinced the chancellor regime caused dis
content in the most influential circles
and distrust among the most loyal classes
of the population. Whatever changes
may now impend, the conservatives will
not alter their programme, but viii carry
it forward in the battle for religion, So
ciety, morality and order"
The Madgeburger Zeitung says zone
thing is certain the time for passive wait
ing Is over. During the last few years Che
people have often felt the need of a firm
hand to guide the government when, at
important junctures, the growing quar-
rels could be silenced only by a stern
command from above and then, perhaps,
but for the moment. The days of aim
lessness and uncertainty ought now to be
gone All Germans who love law and or
der stand behind the emperor awaiting
his command" p"
The Vossische Zeitung says: "Chancel-
lor CapriW was not the man to show the
Court Camarilla that refreshing rude
ness often displayed by the iron chancel-
lor. He did not seek to stand above his
colleagues. It is possible that at the last
he became conscious that this position
was untenable and decided to withdraw" ."
The news of Chancellor Caprivis fall
reached the Social Democratic Congress
in Frankfort Just before the close OF Fri
days session. Tho Crisis was felt to. be a
grave one, full of danger to the party.
The general opinion was that it meant tho
signal triumph Of the reaction. Deputy
Paul Singers closing address yesterday
failed to encourage the delegates although
il rang with defiance of all that the lmpe-
can affect the social democracy" he said.
THE party has outlived Chancellors
Bismarck and Caprivi, and will survive
the future chancellors, It matters not how
reactionaPy they may be. Socialism is The
vital principles Of progress. It's adhereuts
are animated with a spirit to Overcome
all prosecutions, and they have spread
their teachings despite all opposition"
The congress closed With an appearance
Of harmony, which wss absent at the
opening. There was much latenN dis
content, however, and the Bavarians, 6r
Berlin committeeman, are sure to hght
their diferencos out unless new excep-
tiohal laws force them back into a solid
phalanx.
The Vorwaerts to-day appeals to the en-
tire party to bury all minor differences
and prepare for the combat which "the
so-called parties Of law and order have
begun against the social democracy"
In a paragraph on the significance Of
Chancellor CaprivPs fall, the editor adds.
THE most notable fact is that he was
not dismissed because he had lost the
confidence of the nation, nor because a
vote Of the Reichstag had made him i'm
possible as chancellor but merely because
monarch, regarding himself as response
BILE to nobody, suddenly resolved to let
him go. Chancellor CapriVi never used
the legislation or administration for his
personal advantages. His withdrawal
darkens the political horizon"
Prince Bsmarcks daily life at Varzin
has been the subject Of many newspaper
paragraphs in the last week He rises at
10 and takes breakfast at his leisure. From
II 30 10 ] he reads letters. Then he walks
in the orchard near the north wing Of the
castle, taking short rests under the trees.
His favorite spot is the trunk Of n huge
lime tree which was felled recently by a
storm. There he rests In scclusion, which
everybody is forbidden TO interrupt Upon
returning TO the castle he works in his
study. After dinner he joins the family
circle and often plays with his grand
children. He goes 10 bed early, smokes
little and drinks less.
The committee appointed to report on
the operation Of the new Sunday closing
law say that the law is strictly enforced
but the people. instead Of going to church,
throng the public places. Many trades
which once did their best business on Sun
day, have suffered heavy losses.

ton Of live cattle or fresh meat from the
