HoAENLoHE RESIGNS.
The German Chancellor Quits His Job
To Serve Till Fail.

To Serve I'LL rail.
Berlin, May 9.-Chancellor Won Ho-
henlohe's resignation has been accept
ed by the emperor. There is no ill-feel-
ing, and the chancellor's wife and
daughter will be decorated with the
Order of Louise. The chancellor will
vacate his Office in September.
Prince Won Hohenlohe has been in
office since October, 1894, having sue
ceeded Caprivi. He is a Bavarian and
was born II years ago. He never had
any serious disagreement with the
emperor, and the reason for his retire
ment is his age and i'll health. For some
time he has been unable to attend to
his duties in the reichstag and bundles
rath. That the prince has resigned is
great surprise. 1t is supposed one
cause of the resignation is the proposed
reform of the military tribunals. 1t is
known that Chancellor Hohenlohe is
not in accord with advanced opinion
upon this subject.
