 So many versions arc current today oi tho suddenly preciptated crisis that il would bo impossible to form q definite conclusion until the matter has further developed. The outward events werc as follows: Aftcr the services in the Russian f.hnyNpl trl, att H.1h h--I I,n. pcror William and Count von Caprivi. his majesty gavo an audience to tho chan ccllor Ut the castle at o'clock X auar- ter of an hour later Count zu Eulcnbcre had m audience with his majesty, and at half past the emperor received Count LcrChenfcld, the Bavarian minister hero. Count Iuyenthal of SaXony, Baron vOn Butler of Wurtemberg and Dr. Jagemann of Baden, all ministers of their respective countries.

 Tho first intimaiiUn to the public of tho crisis was the official announcement that the emperor had postponed his jour ney to Blankenhorg. Any politician who had told in the morning that such a crisis was impending would have been laughed at. The greatest excitement was created when the events became known.
 It seems to be generally admitted that Cnnnt t'nnriy-f nhtafnaf hn al of most of the federal ministers to his moderate policy in regard to tho social ists It Is not known whether he sum moncd the conference of the ministers without the emperor knowledge If he did, this may account for tho crisis on the supposition that tho emperor was dis pleased with such an attempt to placo Count zu Eulenberg in q minority. It may be remembered that in 1890 the emperor called Prince Bismarck to ac- count for consulting Dr. windthorst the then clerical leader. without his knowl- edge. and that this was tho indirect cause of Prince Bismarck's fall. If such Is the case now. Prince Bismarck will be a happy man. Another report says that the question of financial reforms caused dissention.
 The Tageblatt in n leadcr today, says 1t has arrived at the conclusion that Count Son Cnprlvi's resignation is tho olearest proof that the highest positions In tho empire and In Prussia must be held by the same man.
 It greatly regrets tho step that has been taken, but expresses the hope that good protest by the Fatherland during these sad times will bring nll to a good end.
 Bismarck wnI Not Return.
 Not oven Prince BIsmarck's most loyal friends think ho has any chance of re- turning to office Count von Caprivi Is said by his intimate friends to bo glad to escape from the cares of the chancellor ship. He Is a moderate man, opposed to extreme views of any kind. Therefore he is we'll hated in many quarters.
 The intrigues against him on the part of the Bismarckians and the agricultural parties have been bitter and incessant. He often expressed e desire to retire to military life and only remained in office from a sense of duty to his country. He will in few days proceed to Geneva for his health. His persistent enemies havc cause for self congratulation. but the situation is regarded with srsss apprs' hansio-
