BERLIN. Oct. pa great stir was
caused in well-informed quarters this
afternoon by the receipt of telegram
from Cologne. giving the substance OF an
article in the semi official Cologne Gazette,
which stated that Chancellor Won Caprivi
aud Count BOtho zu Eulenburg, president
of the Prusslan Council of Ministers, had
resigned. 1t has been known for some
time there has been considerable tension
between the Chancellor and Eulenburg,
owing to the formers views in regard to
the measures to be submitted TO the
Reichstag for the repression of the So
cialsts. The chancellor is in favor of pur-
suing moderate policy, while Eulenburg
believes in the adoption of radical meas
ures to obtain the end sought. 1t was said
that at the recent meeting of the Prusslan
Council. held to consider the question of
the repressiVe measures, a majority of the
Ministers supported Caprivi's views. hut
whether or not this is true is greatly
matter of conjecture. At any rate. those
who are supposed TO be generally we'll in
formed es TO the situation place credence
in the Cologne Gazette statement that both
officials have resigned.
The Gazette adds that the Chancellor
rendered his resignation to Emperor Will
liam on Tuesday, but that it was only ac-
cepted at an audience given by his Majesty
TO Caprivi to-day.
A rumor is in circulation that DR.. Jo-
hsnnes MIGUEL, Prussian Minister of FL
nance. has been appointed Chancellor in
succession to Caprivi, but this report is de-
cared on good authority to be unfounded.
Late tonight it became known as fact,
however, that Caprivi's resignation has
been accepted by Emperor William. The
resignation of Eulenburg has not vet been
accepted 1t has been learned that the
Chancellor resigned before a meeting of
representative statesmen of the federal
state which was held this aftern DON. This
meeting showed the existence of great dis
cord regarding the proposed anti-revolu-
tionary bill, and Eulenburg thereupon re-
signed. Thus confronted by the double
resignation, Emperor William abandoned
his proposed visit to Brandenb burg, for
which place he was to have started this
afternoon. The fact that the Emperor
has given up his trip was announced in
the official Reichsanzeiger without ex-
planation.
The Emperor gave an audience to
Caprivi, and endeayored to induce him to
withdraw his resignation, but the Chan
cellor was obdurate and refused to do so.
The Emperor remained at the castle until
late hour, consulting with Eulenburg,
DR.. MIGUEL and others.
The question of who will succeed
Capriyi is the subject Of general discussion
everywhere. In addition to DIR. MIGUEL,
both Eulenburg and DR.. Won Benningsen.
iaadar of the NationaI ,iharal marty and
Governor of Hanover. are mentioned, but
it is believed the new Chancellor will be a
com promise candidate.
The representative of the Associated
Press made an attempt late tonight to in
terview Caprivi. but was informed that ne
had retired.
