 Hot for the Chancellor.
HIS SUCCESSOR NOT NAMED
Cause of His Withdrawal From the Premiership Was Bitter
 Opposition to Him.

BERLIN, Oct. 26.-The report that Chan cellor Von Capriyi has handed his resisna- ton to the emperor is confirmed. Count Botho Zu Eulenb burg, president of the min- isterial council, has also resigned. Dr. Miquel, Prussian finance minister, has been appointed president of the council and Prince Won -Schillings- furst, governor of Alsace- Lorraine, has been offered the chancellorship.
 Before offering the chancellorship to Prince Hohenlohe Emperor William con suited with the envoys from Bavaria, Wurtemburg, Saxony and Saden. It is reported that Prince Hohenlohe declined the office, owing to his age. The emperor has summoned Gen. Count Walderse, the political soldier who was conspicuous in the final intrigues against Bismarck. The general inference is that he intends to make him Caprivi's successor. Should Walderse become chancellor the office of Prussian premier would probably be given liim shortly, and thus the division of the two posts, which was effected at the time of the bill crisis, would be ended.
 There is a rumor that Gen. BronZart Vonchellendorf is candidate for the Prus- sian premiership D and the chancellorship. Either of these gentlemen would be accept able to the conservatives, who have become bOtally eSbranpeu rom tno ROVeTnInenC uu- der the Caprivi regime.
 The immediate cause of Chancellor Won Caprivi's resignation is not entirely clear. It is known, however, that the difficulties between him and Count Botho Zu Eulen- burg had grown too sharp to be ignored or compromised. Chprivi at first was strongly opposed to severe steps against the social democrats and anarchists, while Eulen- burg favored extreme measures. Under pressure from the emperor the chancellor T. ! |. in the week, but the master only got him into trouble with the federal ministers, in whose councils he presided yesterday.
 Several ministers opposed his proposal that the reichstag amend the penal code so as to deal more severely with the socialists. The individual states, they said, should be left to legislate within their own bor- ders for the suppression of the social de- mocracy and anarchy. The chancellor was equally embarrassed when the question of financial reforms was preached. The en- voys made several demands for changes in the financial relations of the states to the empire, but the chancellor was manifestly out of sympathy with all of them.
 .Caprivi is believed to have been crushed between the emperor and the federal en- voys, not going far enough to suit the former and going too far to suit the latter. The difficulties of his position were in- creased, moreover, by the intrigues of Miquel and Eulenberg, who for more than a year nave spared no euort to Qlscreult ms politics and diminish his infiuence with the crown.
 One of the chancellor's last acts before offering his resignation was to notify the reichsbank that the decree prohibiting ad- vances of Russian stocks had been can- celled, as they were DO longer necessary in either economic or political progress.
 The emperor had arranged to leave Potts. dam today to hunt in the neighborhood of Elan ken burg, but he gave up the trip in view of the disruption of his cabinet.
