Interpretation Of the Chancellor's mysterious
words as to the coalition Of the nations OF Eu-
rops. The United Press correspondent OBJ
tanned yesterday a statement on the subject
from high official In the Chancellerie. This
gentleman, whose nform alton lie authoritative.
said that the Chancellor had referred to the
Emperor's hope OF forming an international
customs union, whose boundaries should in-
clude the great and small powers OF the Con-
tinent
The impression that the Emperor or Capriyi
contem plates international action against
Anarchists or Socialists is . false one. which
the Chancellor never intended to extend. That

The semi- Official press Is leaving the solu-

century. the press bureau may possibly regard

forms and the silver question.
The Iost says that the Emperor has become

Won Caprivi resigned both offices In 1857, the
