Prince HohepIoho Is Appointed Chanccl-
ior OF the German Empire.
BERLIN, Oct. 29.-Prince Hohenlohe
Won Schillingfuerst, who was called by
Emperor William TO succeed Caprivi as
chancellor, at first declined, but at
o'clock Saturday evening 1t was an
nounced that he had accepted the po-
sition He will fill also the office of
Prussian premier, made vacant by Eu-
lenberg's retirement.
The emperor's choice of Hohenlohe
for chancellor ia taken as evidence
that his majesty does not intend to
adopt the extreme view of the meas
ures required to arrest the spread of
socialism. Hohenlohe, although IS
years old. is very active physically and
mentally.
Ex-Chancellor Caprivi in an inter
view says the leading question upon
which he found 1t impossible to recon-
cile his own views with those of the
emperor and Count Botho Zu Eulen-
burg was the anti-revolutionary meas
ure. The second bone of contention
between the same parties, he added,
was tho proposed treatment of the
Polish question.
BERLIN, Oct. 29.-The article which
annoyed the emperor more than all
others in the Caprivi- -Eulenb burg press
fcud was published by the Koelniscne
Zeitung to remove the impression pro-
duced by the emperor's recep-
tion of the East Prussian agra
rians. This article said: chancellor
Won Caprivi won a complete victory
nath1 u,, E,,1 nj
as the emperor stood behind Caprivi
nothing is left for Eulenburg but
soumettre ou demettre." Eulenburg,
who had already decided to resign, re-
garded this as an offensive notice to
quit, and showed it the emperor.
The emperor sent Herr Won Lucanus,
chief ofthe civil cabinet, to ask Count
Won Caprivi whether he had inspired
the article in the Gazette. Count Won
Caprivi replied in the negative, but
expressed his sympathy with that
papers views. The emperor then
summoned Count Won Caprivi and
demanded a public disavowal of
the article. Count Won Caprivi re-
peated that he had not inspired the
article and would not publish a dis
claimer, because he agreed with its
views. He now had no alternative but
to resign, which he did 1t is now
known as fact that the emperor tried
to reconcile the personal differences
between the two men. but failed.
In summoning the federal ENJOYS to
another conference the emperor said
that Caprivi's policy would be contin-
ued. This statement is taken with
grain of salt, as the emperor made a
similar statement Immediately after
Bismarck's fall
The ENJOYS expressed their satisfac-
tiou with the choice of Prince Hohen-
lohe. The South Germans were es-
pecially complimentary to The new
chancellor who, they said, enjoyed the
full confidence of their governments.
Z [Clodwig Carl Victor Hohenlohe, Prince Won
Schillingfuerst, who has been chosen to bear
the burdens OF state that have trained the
shoulders OF Bismarck and Caprivi, is %
years old. He is native OF Bavaria. He
entered the Prussian diplomatic service
but resigned to enter the diplomatic service
OF Bavaria on becoming posseSsor OF
/ the family estates OF Schillingfuerst In
/ 1867 he became Bayarian prime minister. and
also undertook to I'LL the office of minister
for foreign affairs He a. once, in the latter
| capacity, became the opponent of Prince Bis
marck's plans for German unity. and was even
thought to be organizing southern rival to
the North German bund His election in 1869
to the post OF vice president of the customs
{ parliament of the German confederacy was
supposed to be q direct slight to Bismarck.
Although Roman Catholic Prince Hohenlohe
was no ultramontane, and on account of his
/ opposition to the decrees OF the ecumenical
council OF the vatican. the influence OF the
priests was brought to bear against him in the
Bavarian elections OF 1870 and he was forced
/ TO resign BY this time Prince Hohenlohe had
become convert to the creation of u new en-
pire and the incorporation in it of Bavaria,
and the members of the first German parlia-
ment marked their appreciation of his services
by electing him their vice president. After
the recall OF Count Arnum in 1874 Prince
Hohenlohe was chosen to succeed him as
German ambassador to Paris, an appointment
which he resigned in September, 1885. His in
vestigattons were the cause of the famous
Arnum trial. In 1873 he was one OF the three
German plenipotentiaries at the congress OF
Berlin. In 1885 having entered the Prussian
service, he was appointed stakeholder Of AL
ssce- Lorraine. which position he has held up
to his present elevation
