BERLIN, October 27.-TAs thunder
bolt which wound up this Nirly quiet
political week, although a surprise TO
TIE political world 10 general, has been
clearly anu exclusively foreshadowed in
the dispatches TO the Associated Press,
and us correspondent here is now in q
\ position 10 state that the information
which he has ca5led 20 the Associated
Press upon the subject was obtained
from Chancellor Won Caprivi himself,
although the correspondent was not
then able TO make public the source Of
bis Information.
On October g, for example, these dis
patches contained the following state
ments:
The general belief is that the visit
Of Chancellor Won Capr.v 70 Emperor
William at HubersJock yesterday was
connected with the proposed exception
81 laws against anarchists which have
been urged in many quarters. The agi-
tators. it is believed, really Intend Jnat
~ the laws referred 90 should be applied
ko socialists Chancellor Won Caprivi,
erefore, opposed the proposed meas
res. as he does not believe 10 the etti-
ency OF special measures against them,
teiag OF the opinion that the best policy
IS to leave them comparatively free,
thus giving the party full scope IN its
Internal dissensions, which, be believed,
will ultimately lead TO it's disintegra-
tIon. In auy case, 10 is known that the
present ReichStag would not pass such
measure, but it might be introduced
IN the
DIET OF TUE INDIVIDUAL STATES.
'The situation, however, is regarded
IN many quarters as being grave and
some politicians even express the belief
that Councillor Won CaDrivi will resign
unless be is fully backed up by the En-
DerOr.
dispatches contained the following
statements:
''in spite Of outward appearances and
newspaper statements, 10 is asserted 10
quarters usually well informed that the
cOlfict between Chancsll0r Won CaDrivi
aud Count BothO Zu Eulenburg respect
ing the anti-SOciaustiC measures Is not
settled. On the contrary, the situation
Is more critical than ever, aud 10 has
even been asserted that at recent con-
ference of the ministry Of state, bitter
words were exchanged between the
Chancellor aud Prussian Premier, Ow-
ing 90 the latter insisting upon more
severe measures than General Won
CaUrivi was disposed TO introduce into
the Reichstag. which body, however, is
certain 10 reject any measure Of reac-
tiOnary character
The conference, it Is added, broke
up with the ministers entirely 10 dis
cord. Since then Emperor William has
brought his influence % bear and the
dispute was patched up. But Cnancel'
lOr Won Caprivi is still TO some extent
at variance with the Prussian premier
and inclined 90 resign the Chancellor
shiB rather than submit 20 the Re,sch-
stag measures with which he has no
sympathy himself, aud which, moreover,
he is convinced the Reichstag would
not accept
THE IMPORTANT INVITATIONS
given 10 these dispatches 60 the Asso-
ciated Press were based on statements
which Chancellor Won Caprivi made
\ himself 90 conversation with the AssO-
ciated Press correspondent. The latter,
however, for the time being, was pledged
% secrecy respecting the source OF his
Information, as the Generals tenure OF
bis official post Datur8Iiy prec.uced the
use of his name in connection with
Y sGth a subject. Now, however, General
VouCaprvi iiS aEai- private citizen
prd the seGva a0f silence imposed Oy his
office has ba ! removed from his lips,
and he consented 90 give an Interview
20 the Associated Pr9sS FOR publication.
In consequence. t-s correspondent Of
the Associated Pres called at Genera.
Won Caprlyfs res lFuce last evening
and the Geuaral Iaaled what he had
previously 81 IA trsl the leading ques-
Nop upon which hsE0und 10 impossible
10 reconcile his Ow views with those OF
the Emperor IN t1lut Botho Zu Eu-
Ienberg, was anti-RevOluiOnary
measure. Tho 1ld bone Of conten-
tion between me parties, be add
en-. was the Url Jed treatment Of the
Polish question:
Gen. Won Ca vi, continuing, said
trat ne could t aCQuleSce 70 OOuu.
Zu EuIenberg'sI opinion that drastic
aud exceptional measures were receS-
Bary 20 cope with the progress Of Social
ism. Moreover, De was convinced tina,
they would not b3
RATIFIED BY THE BE1CHSrAG.
The General asserted, that be himseh,
was thoroughly conservative; but that
he aid not believe In reactionary meas
ures. such as CosDt Ia Gutenberg pro-
posed 20 them iu order 20 prove them
eilicacious TO wa'i of Social danger.
Continuing, q Sera, Won Caprivi said:
"I have made a honest attempt 20 fall
into line with Z views or His Majesty
and Count Zu len0erg, but / have
failed. NV VII policy has been based
upon a recoud on OF the Social diff
ferences and liatiOn of the Poles
Both oua oweVer, have been
rendered tely, against my own
advice" "a
In an the Chancellor way
