News OF Day.
Berlin, July 14.-Prince Bernard
Won Bulow, chancellor of the German
Empire, resigned today. Upon the ac-
ceptance of his resignation Emperor
William appointed DIR. Won Bethman-
Helwig, the present vice-chancellor
and secretary of state to succeed Won
| Bulow.
Tears streamed down the chancel-
lor's face when in the Imperial au-
dience room he repudiated the politi-
cal charges made against him and
resigned. Grasping the chancellor's
hand the Kaiser said, Bernhard, you
have always served me well and faith
fully; you and | will always remain
| friends"
The Kaiser arrived early from Kiel
to prepare for the formal dismissal OF
the chancellor. the people of Berlin
took holiday and crowds thronged
the squares and parks and lined the
streets, many failing to see Won Bue-
low.
Following the exit of Won Buelow,
| -Hollweg entered through a
| different door, with the pomp that
marked the coming of Won Buelow
was escorted to the Emperor. The
Kaiser suggested that they go to the
garden between the palace and the
river Spree. A crowd assembled in
the little street on the opposite bank
Of the river and watched. When the
news spread that the Kaiser was hold
ing state conference in the garden,
the Berlin Bourse was deserted, and
inanciers rushed to the bank of the
river The Kaiser offered him the
portfolio of chancellor, and the states
nan accepted. The proceedings vio-
lated the usual procedure and pleas
ed the Kaiser, but shocked the old
school bureaucrats. The Kaiser
signed the decree and Bethmann-
Hollweg drove to the chancellory and
took possession. He there met Won
Buelow, who congratulated him, and
presented him with the seals of Office
By today's change in German af-
fairs the emperor becomes virtually
his own foreign minister and hence
forth the Kaiser will deal directly
with the secretary of state for foreign
affairs, passing over the head of the
new chancellor. Dethmann-Hollweg
is of Jewish descent. Herr Dali
brueck, Prussian minister of COM
merce, has been named secretary OF
state for the interior.
Fighting Resumed In Teheran.
Teheran, July IA. = Hospitalities
were resumed early today wnen the
rebels attempted to rush the intrench-
nents of the Persian Cossacks in cen

succeeded in occupying the garden OF
the home of Col. Liskioff, commanding
the Cossacks. Heavy cannonading
caused the heaviest loss Of life yet
attending the fighting. The Cossacks
are now Smelling the rebels, who are
suffering severe casualties.
The rebels were baked in their
occupation of the city by Persian
Cossacks who engaged in a furious
engagement at the north gate OF the
city, where force of royalists and
Sultan Abed are trying to enter. They
demanded of the British and Rus
slams to explain their action for flying
the Russian flag above the barracks
commanded by Liskhoff.
The safety of foreigners does not
appear at this writing to be seriously
threatened.

tionalist leaders, are in possession OF
the parliament building A body OF
local nationalists, under the leader
ship of young Seyedh, have taken pos

Der of Cossacks, have deserted to the

The populace of the city is enthu-
siastic over the advent of the nation

wearing red badges and offering en-
couragement TO the revolutionary
