Feud Came Near
Happy Conclusion.

Something then occurred that might
have brought the feud to a happy con-
clusion. had the Kaiser and the court
clique been content to rest upon their
oars and let their prey enjoy at least his
family pleasures and the admiration of
tho public, which through all had con-
tinued to worship Its hero. Count Her
bert, Bismarck's eldest son, was be-
trothed to Countess Margaret Hoyes, a
daughter of an ancient Hungarian Mag
var house. The marriage was to take
place at Vienna, in June, 1892. The
Kaiser was notified. but did no more
than to have his secretary acknowledge
the receipt of tho announcement. Bis
murck did have no intention of attend
ing the wedding, but the snub so un-
dcservcdly administered to his first born
determined him to brave the horrors OF

Jealousy Between

No sooner had the present Kaiser sue
ceeded to the throne built up so glor-
iously by Bismarck when there was
jealousy and ill-feeling as to who was
the real master. This, of course, led TO
Disbursements and to open quarrels, the
young monarch going so far as to de-
mand his loyal servants resignation.
The drop that caused the bucket 10
overflow was an interview by bismarck
to DR.. Windthorst, leader of the clerical
party (contrists) in the reichstag. The
Kaiser objected to it. sending his priv

formed the chancellor that "his majesty

Again Bismarck spared for time. The
state Of his health. he responded, was
such that it did not permit him to leave
the house. He requested time to pre-
pare written communication in re-
ply to the Kaiser's message. Summon
