TOII. quin, intends to explore the unknown regions lying to the north of Siam and Annam,and hopes to make his way through Yunnam to Central Asia.

When Bismarck had to resign his office at the Emperor William's command, it seemed as though the mass of the people were quite satisfied with the measure. The Chancellor gave up his residence in the Wilhelmstrasee; the well-known rider,who used to convey his despatches and notes to and fro at a sharp trot, became a thing of the past; and the Iron Chancellor retired to Friedriclisruh. But of late numerous pamphlet; have appeared on the subject of the relationship between Kaiser and Ranzler. One writer suggests that Williem 11. should go to Friedrichsruh and make it up with the man of whom it may safely be said that,had he not been,the Hohenzollern family would not hold the positi-n that it now has; whilst another opposes this suggestion on the plea that such a proceeding would not be compatible with the dignity of the Crown. It is certain that Germany would gladly see some alteration in this matter. No German can forget what Bismarck has done. He is no longer a young man, and it would be very regrettable were he by chance to be called away before the present misunderstanding between his Emperor and himself had been clearel up. Big. wards himself said only quite recently that he felt more like an old man than he looked. It may be that William 11. will see his way to doing a graceful thing before it is too late.
