CHANCELLOR
KAISER Is ANGRY WITH HIM
COUNT Won WEDEL, vlcERoY
OF ALsAcE.LoRRAiNE. FAv-
oREp FOR PLACE.

BERLIN. Feb. 26.-Prince Bulow.
the imperial chancellor, is engaged In
a desperate fight for his political life.
He is opposed by a stubborn majority
I'm Parliament and by personal animos
ity at court. The chancellor may re-
liably be said 10 be convinced that his
days are numbered and To be direct
ing his Efforts mainly 10 prolonging
them.
From a person who is In a position
to know 1t is learned that Won Bulow
himself has set May as the probable
date OF his disappearance from the
public stage. BY that time he counts
upon having brought the imperial A.
nance reform scheme safely into har-
Dor, enabling him to quit Office with
a show OF flying colors.
Count Won Wedel, the viceroy OF Al
SAGE Lorraine, is the man the kaiser
favors for Won Bulow's successor. The
emperor Is described as being bitterly
angry with vor Bulow, and Is said to
speak TO him only when absolutely
necessary.
His majesty personally telegraphed
Prince Radolin, the German ambassa-
dor in Paris, this week, congratulating
him On the completion OF the Franco
German Moroccan agreement In terms
which indicate that the kaiser gives
the chief credit for that achievement
to Radolin and the republics ambassa-
dor In Berlin, NJ. Cambon. At the an
nual banquet OF the agriculturalists'
union, Chancellor Won Bulow spoke
OF having brought about the agree
ment through his own cooperation
with Nj. Cambon. Thus there Is an
Obvious difference OF opinion between
the chancellor and his imperial master
on the question as To where the laur
els belong. The kaiser's ostentatious
omission to shower congratulations
upon Won Bulow Is significant OF the
strained situation now existing.
In the highest German governmental
quarters there are numerous indica
tons that the clique which has been
