Kruger.
Berlin. Jan. THE emperor and Prince
Hohenlohe are in complete harmony as
regards the policy of Germany toward
the Transvaal government, and there is
no truth in the story that the chancellor
had offered his resignation to the kaiser.
The report, which was circulated yester-
day, originated on the bOurse, and had
the effect it was doubtless intended to
have, that of causing a fall of prices.
Dr. Leyd, secretary of state for the
TransVaal government has received a
