FOR GIVING UP OFFICE.
Principal Cause. He Says, was
That He Had Noticed q Grow

ing Desire 20 Ignore Him.
BERLIN. Oct. 2s--Prince Hohenlohe.
u conversation with representative of
the Associated Press made some inter
esttng statements regarding his resigna-
ton Of the chancellorship Although ex-
pressing himself with great caution, he
cited as the principal reason for resign
ing the fact that he had noticed for some
time growing desire TO ignore him on
important occasions. He admitted that
his increasing deafness, especially In his
left ear had made It annoying for EN-
pcror William to converse with him.
while Prince Hohenlohe would not say
precisely what very recent occasion had
particularly emphasized this inclination
TO ignore MIN, he asserted that this was
the immediate cause of his going to
Hamburg with written request to re-
linquish his ofiicial burdens. This. he
said, he presented In person 10 Emperor
william, who seemed astonished. but re-
piled that In view Of the advanced age OF
the prince he would not urge him to re-
consider. 1t also appears that his parting
with the kaiser was afrectionate and that
both remain on good terms. When Prince
Hohenlohe returns 10 Berlin for the win
ter he intends to frequent the court and
its festivities. his physicians having
urged him to this course. as they con-
slider that the total absence of excite
ment would endanger his life.
He r. able to go 10 his ancestral home
at Schillfngfuerst. Later he will go to
Munich and then to Meran. In the Aus
TRAN Tyrol, or to italy. where he hopes
to get relief from an annoying cough.

The letter says in part:
IF Towne is named by the Kansas

one Of the strongest citizens this nation
has and will ensure the full support OF

MISSISSIPPI VERY Low.

Navigation IL Impaired and Saw Mills
Forced to Shut Down. i.f
LA CROSSE, Wis, June 27.-The pres.
ent wonderfully low stage of the Mis-.
sissippi river 10 unparalleled in the his
tory Of the river for over 40 years. Not
single steamboat man or lumber man
can remember time when it has fallen
to it's present stage of 1.6 feet so early
in the season, and in fact at any other
period of the year. Extremely heavy
rains along the river would be the only
relief.
Navigation is impaired to such an ex.
tent that all the saw mills of the city,
three in number, have beeu forced to
cease operations, owing to scarcity OF
logs.
The log famine is due to the low
water, for logs cannot be gotten ont Of
the small streams into the river. Cole
mans big mill shut down during the
day, throwing 800 men out Of work and
no prospects of starting again.
