position clarlleS, the retirement OF
Count Won Caprivi from the chancellor
ship assumes still further the character
of an actual dismissal. The trouble ap-
pears to have originated in the en-
peror's reception recently of a deputa-
ton of East Prussiau Agrarians, headed
by Count zu Gutenberg. The deputa-
ton was submissive. but the Agrarian
organs used the reception as proof that
the emperor was favorable to Count Zu
Gutenberg. The latter appeared to be
determined to remain in office. Count
Won Caprivi submitted memorandum to
the emperor on Tuesday Offering
to resign If Count Zu Gutenberg re-
manned in office. Being forced to choose
between the two, the emperor. as
known, gave his unqualified approval
to Count Won Caprivi's policy. There
upon, as set-Off to the emperor's re-
ception of the Agrarians. the article in
the Cologne Gazette attacking Count Zu
Gutenberg appeared. Count Zu Eulen-
berg resigned On Friday morning. The
emperor sent Herr Won Lucanus, chief
of the civil cabinet. to ask Count Won
Caprivi whether he had inspired the
article in the Gazette. Count Won Ca
priv replied in the negative. but

then summoned Count Won Caprivi and
demanded public disavowal of the ar

he had not inspired the article and
would not publish a disclaimer, be-
cause he agreed with its views. He
now had no alternative but to resign.

fact that the emperor tried tried to rec

Had Caprivi been discarded for the pur-
pose OF inaugurating an alternative
policy, the public could readily under

exactly the same policy that his prede-
cessor advocated is altogether a new
development of political ideas. Prince

has how become known that Count zu

without notifying or consulting Count
Won Caprlvi. The latter'S resentment is,
therefore. considered to be JUSTIFIED.
The choice of Prince Won Hohenlohe
insures the continuance of the for
elgn policy as heretofore. He obtained
favor In France as German ambassador,
though he has no idea of territorial res

any such policy was adopted against

this that probably gave rise to the ru-

agency that he had resigned. The
United Press seized upon this intangible
rumor as an actual fact and added that

This story, it is understood here, was
published in America. but the ASCOT
ated Press is in position to deny that
there is any truth in it. The facts are
as above stated. Late tonight rumor
is current that the emperor wants to
appoint Count Zu Gutenberg governor
OF Alsace-Lorraine, but that Prince Won
Honenlohe opposes the appointment.
The prince has also made, it is said. his
acceptance of the chancellor
ship dependent upon several
alterations in the Prussian ministry.
There is no reliable news of change
being made in the April cabinet. A
view Of the situation that cannot be
omitted is the universal chorus Of the
sincere ealogy of Count Won Capriv in
the press of all parties. Even the Vor-
waerts, the organ of the Socialists, adj
mits that he was man to be respected,
while the BiSmarckian papers speak of
him with

protests IN tOday's issue that it bears no
illwll toward him. 1t is expected that
the appointment of Prince Won Hohen-
lobe as imperial German chancellor to
succeed Count Won Caprivi will be gaz-
cited tomorrow. 1t is also explained
that the gazette will contain the an.
nouncement that Herr Won Koeller.
under secretary of the interior for the
province of Alsacs-Lorraine, has
been aappointed Prussian minis.

that Office in addition to being president
