whole military force at the disposal of Germany. King Louis followed this by his once much discussed letter to the king of Saxony urging the consolidation of Germany, and Prince Hohenlohe was con- spiouous in bringing this about. He at once entered the imperial parliament and on March 23 1871, was elected its first vice president. He vigorously supported Bismarck in his controversy with the pope, which caused him to be savagely denounced in south Germany. So after a rather stormy experience there he left par lament and in 1874 was made German ambassador to Paris. His brief career there was a brilliant success, but he soon resumed his place in the reichstag. He was reelected in 1877, but by 1881 the ultramontane reaction was strong enough to beat him.
 He was in 1885 appointed governor of Alsace-L Lorraine, as successor to General Manteuffe1, and, though this was meant to be a change from military to civil au- thority, he went far beyond his predeces. sor in vigorous measures to Germanize the province. He enforced the passport sys- tenn, designed to minimize social relations between France and her lost province, so meroilessly that in 1891 the emperor inter- 1ereu Wlbn nOullylug Oruer Cufdugoly enough, he became rather popular in the province, which was due to his able and honest administration of it's internal af- fairs, and his efforts to Germanize it were largely successful.
 In 1S46 the prince married Princess von Sayn- -Witthenstein Buleburg, and they have five children, of whom the oldest is a captain of cavalry in the Prussian army Despite his 75 years, the prince is remark ably vigorous and in full possession of all his mental faculties. With Bismarck Gladstone and many others he is proof that this is indeed an era of vigorous old men. With tho chancellorship of the em- pire he also takes that of the kingdom of Prussia, as was the case with Bismarck. Caprivi declined to hold both, and as the latter very naturally went into the hands of rival and political opponent this had no little share in making trouble for Ca privi.
 Prince Hohenlohe owns large and profit able estates and his wife is immensely wealthy, tho latter having inherited one of the large4sji estates in Russia.

CHANCELLOR HoHENLoHE-SCHILLING ton testified that she had been instantly cured of deadly disease by the bishsssa5lr,..- but the pope refused to giyss-llis sanction to the miracle.
 The present. chancellor's first title was that ef Prince of Ratibor and Korvei, but m 1846, owing to the fact that the Hohen- lohe prinoipality was partly in Wurttem- berg and partly in Bavaria, there was general family rearrangement, and he be- came Prince of Hohenlohe- -Schillingfurst. He at once entered actively into the move ment for closer union among the Ger man states, but it soon appeared that Prussia's plan was one of entire absorp- tion, and hs then became a very radical Bavarian. As student he had been edu- cated at Gottingen, Heidelberg and Bonn. imbibing the so called ''Vaterland," or German unity, sentiments of the times, which resulted in the students movement, and as Prince of Ratibor he had been con sidered Q Prussian and had even entered the Prussian diplomatic service. AS a new man in Bavarian affairs, therefore, his position was one of extreme difficulty, and he was at the same time proclaimed as traitor in Berlin and denounced in Bavaria as a servile friend of Prussia.

Forced by extremists on both sides, he in troduced the Prussian military system into Bavaria and favored customs union for all Germany, but advocated a south German confederation. AS a Catholic his position was equally difficult, as he bitter ly opposed any extension of the papal pow CT and advocated great liberality in admin istration. In 1869 matters reached a crisis. The king sustained Prince von Hohenlohe and dissolved the parliament, but the elections resulted in triumph for the ultramontanes, and the minister had to resign
