PRINCE HEN RY AFFABLE.
Prince Henry OF Prussia was IN his most
| affablc mood upon the occasion OF his recent
! visit with Hon. Edwin F Uh!, the new nited
| States ambassador
He told Mr.. Uhl that lie had several times
| been in South and Central America, and
! regretted exceedingly that he had never
| been in the United states. which country he
| had always had tie greatest desire to see
He had read a great deal about the United
states, he said. aud in his conversation he
| sho wed himself remarkably well-informed
upon facts and conditions concerning the
| North American republic.
The death OF Otto Capha sen, who was
| the Prussiau minister of finance during
! the period from Sc 3 TO 1878, has opened
| controversy between Prince Bismarck s
| organ, the Hamburger Nachrichten and
! the Liberal press.
Prince Bismarck, in answering the at
tacka made upon him by the Liberia news =
| papers, says that Herr Camphausen re-
| signed his office in consequence Of parlia
| mentary pressure and opposition, and de-
! clares that q minister resigning his posi-
tion under such circumstances had 10
| right afterward 10 criticize his colleagues
who remained on the battlefield
| It was Prince Bismarck's adherence to
| this idea, the Nachrichten says, that pro-
| voked his severe turn with Herr Camp
| hansen in the Prussian parliament. Never
| theless the Overwhelming consensus OF
! opinion today is that Herr Camphausen was
| the best finance minister that Prussia ever
! had Count Botho Zu Gutenberg, formerly
! president OF the council OF ministers, repre-
sented the emperor at Herr Camphausen's 8
| funeral
