agrarians headed oy Count Gutenberg.
The deputation was submissive, but the
agrarian organ used the reception
as proof that the emperor
was favorable to Gutenberg. The
latter appeared 20 be determined TO
remain in Office. Caprivi submitted
memorandum to the emperor on Tuesday,
offering to resign If Count Gutenberg re-
mained in Office. Being forced TO choose
between the two. the emperor. rs is
known, gave his unqualified approval to
Count Caprivi's policy. Thereupon, as
set-off to the emperor's reception 10 the
agiarians. the article in the Cologne
Gazette attacking Gutenberg appeared
Eulenberg resigned on Friday morning.
The emperor sent Herr Lucanus, chief
of the civil cabinet, TO ask Caprivi
whether he had inspired the article
in the Gazette. Caprivi replied in the neg
ative. but expressed his sympathy with
that papers views. The emperor then
summoned Count Caprivi and demanded
public disavowal of the article. Caprivi
repeated that he had not inspired the
article, and would not publish dis
ciaimer. because he agreed with its views.
He had no alternative but TO resign, which
he did. Ii is now known as a fact that
the emperor tried to reconcile the per-
sonal differences between the two men,
but failed.
Comments are made on the curious erup-
ton of the imperial personal idiosyncra-
sizes into the domain of government Had
Capriyi been discarded for the purpose OF
inaugurating an alternative policy the
public could readily understand the
change, but that new chancellor should
be appointed TO execute exactly the same
policy his predecessor advocated is alto
gether q new development of political
ideas.
Prince Hohenlohe visited Caprivi today.
The latter will enjoy a pension as ex-
chancellor. but his army pension will be
Cancelled. After q visit to Geneva he
intends to take up his permanent resi-
dence with his nieces on their estate in
Brandenburg. Prince Hohenlohe's age
the is now rs years old). is regarded as
precluding long tenure of Office or active
participation in affairs, and especially in
the reichstag. The imperial policy will
now more than ever be under the personal
guidance of the emperor. TO the no small
alarm of all liberal minded Germans, who
compare the seeming instability of the EN-
peror's character with the steady purpose
and aims of the old Emperor William.
Ii has now become known that Eulen-
berg introduced the East Prussian agra
rian deputation without notifying or con-
suliing Caprivi. The iatter's resentment
is therefore considered to be justified.
The choice OF Prince Hohenlohe insures
the continuance of the foreign policy rs
heretofore. He obtained favor in France
as German ambassador. and though he
has no idea of any territorial restoration
in home politics he is 6 moderate con-
servative.
Herr Koeller, the new Prussian minister
of the interior. is in Prince Hohenlohe's
confidence, but his policy is more doubt
fui. He has been strongly identified with
the anti-socialist and anti-Semitic move
ments II is hoped. however. that his
long connection with Prince Hoheniohe
has subdued his more extreme views.
While Baron Marschal Won Bieberssein re-
tains the portfolio of imperial minister of
foreign affairs a reactionary policy may
be regarded as impossible. He recently
informed the emperor that If any such
policy were adopted against Count
Caprivi's wish he would bs Obliged to re-
linauish office.
Late tonight q rumor Is current that the
emperor wants to appoint Count Enlen-
berg governor of Alsaee- Lorraine, but that
Prince Hoheniohe opposes it.
