tried so many remedies, with little ben

Hkhlin, March 10. The reported resigna
tion of Chnnrellor Blsmnrck, published In
ihese dispatches yesterday, proves to bo well
founded. The Togblatt announces the re
tirement of the chancellor from all hlsofllces
and that Count Herbert, with all the Prus
sian and imperial
ministers and
chiefs of depart
ment, has resigned
This latter story Is
not confirmed, ex
cept In tho case of
Count Herbert,
and many doubted
Jnlicrlinyesterday
tho report of the
chancellor's resig
nation. The Pest
S. advised peoplo to
walttlllThellolch
sinzelger confirm
ed tho reitort, and
COUNT HEIinERT.
the latter appeared In tho evening without
the slightest confirmation. At the oiibluet
meeting Monday the kaiser placed his ulti
matum before the chancellor on tho lattor
question, and the latter promptly resigned.
Tuesday morning the kaiser sent to the
chancellor to cHect a compromise, but ho
refused to yield an lota of his original jiost
tlon. Tlie Iteilcnatlon Accepted.
It has just been announced that Prince
Bismarck's resignation of the chancellor
ship was accepted by the emperor at noon.
It is stated In well informed political circles
that tho present differenos between the em-
rniKCE msMAncK.
peror nnd Trlnce Bismarck h irreconcilable,
it arises from the chancellor's refusal to
accede to a request made by Dr. Wlndthorst,
the leader of the clerical party in Germany,
to restore to the Duke of Cumberland, the
claimant of the throne of Hanover, the
larger portion of the Guelph fund. The at
titude of the (emperor lu opposing Princo
Bismarck In this matter Is taken as an In
dication of his desire to conciliate the cleri
cal party. If the government is to secure a
working majority in the new relclistagit
cannot well get on without the party of the
Center, whloh Dr. Wlndthorst controls.
The Ministry's W.lthtlrHWal.
The resignation of the ministry was
merely the customary formal act, but it is
reported that Count Herbert Bismarck and
Minister Maybach really intend to resign.
Herren Itickert and Goldschmldt and other
Frelslnnige deputies were Invited to the
court banquet last night. Never before had
n member of the Frelslnnige party been
thus honored. It Is stated that the Frels
lnnige Professor Handl and Herr Miquel
will be Invited to enter the cabinet as an
earnest of the emperor's desire to legislate
for the people.
Who Will He ChanrellorT
The great question discussed is, Who will
be Bismurck'ssuccessorf Most people incline
to the idea that Dr. Hlnzpoter will be the
mau. Ho Is known to bo in sympathy with
the emjteror's social roform and to entertain
political views in direct opposition to tho
chancellor. Hereafter the emperor will bo
his own chancellor. If Dr. Hlnspeter does
succeed Bismarck he will be little moro than
a private secretary to tbe emperor.
The immediate cuuue of the crisis Is ob
scure, but it is believed to be the emperor's
Socialist policy, uhich is having n great
effect on International as well as 011 domes
tic affairs. The emperor cajoles where Bis
marck favors the cudgel.
Binco the recent elections, which proved
such a terrible blow to Bismnrck's internal
policy, new facts dally brought forward
show that, however great his genius may
be as regards foreign uffulrs, he has made u
failure of the domestic uffulrs of Germany,
German unit Other l're.s Opinion..
Tbe Krcuz Zeilung had only a short arti
cle In a corner of the jiaper 011 tho retire
ment of the chancellor, vthicn Is erroneous
ly attributed to a divergence of opinion
with the kaiser 011 thi colonial policy,
The National Zeltung accepts tbe retire
ment as a fait accompli and hopes the chan
cellor will long remain to witness the ad
vancement of his work.
.Tho Tagblatt, which has always opposed
tbe prince, says ho represented to tbe Ger
mans tho supreme architect among those
who built up new Germany, aud to foreign
ers be personified the strength itud glory of
the fatherland.
The Vosslscho saysi "The prince Is such an
overwhelming factor in the jtolitlcs of his
country that Germans will have dIUlculty in
getting accustomed to the new stato of
things." Another paper says: "KaUer Wil
hom IPs reign has now begun in earnest
This is only one specimen of tho poisoned
arrows hurled at what Is supposed to bo fall
ing greatness by men who have thrived for
years on the dust licked from shoes whose
latchets they were unworthy to unloose.
The Ixmdon Standard's Berlin correspond,
eut is ubhureU ou good authority that Herr
von Boetticuer will not succeed Prince Bis
marck. lU' chancellor's resignation was
not influenced Ir. the smallest degree by the
result of the recent elections. Ou the con
trary, he expressed hope that be would bo
able to govern with success with tbe present
relchstag.
The Austrian government, press and pub
lic, greatly fear that tbe resignation of
Prince illsmarck will lead to a rupture of
tho peace, alliance.
The Temps, The Debate and other leading
French journals, display anxiety for the
future In consequence oft Princo Bismarck's
resignation.
I'rlnee Ili.marek'a Career.
Prince Bismarck was born at Bchonbausen,
April 1, )813, and is therefore just closing
his seventy-fifth year, He was made min
ister of foreign affairs aud of tbe king's
house in Prussia In rkptember, From
that time until the death of the emperor
William I he practically awayed the gov
ernment of all Germany, and dictated the
general policy of the great powers. In 1WJ
he was foreign minister of the North Ger
man confederation, having succeeded to
that point in the great dream of his life
tbe unification of Germany,
Two years later, on Jan. 18, 1871, he wit.
nessed the complete accomplishment of his
vast political design at Versailles. There,
In the palace of the French kings, he took
part in the symbolism which proclaimed
Germany an empire, the grandest historical
picture of modern times, the coronation of
William 1 emperor of Germany. In that
same monthof January be was appointed by
bis imperial master chancellor of the em
pire, the otllce which he haa uow resigned
after holding It uiueteen years.
Matte at l'rlnee.
Created a count in IbiVS, he was now raised
to the rauk of prince, Ascbancellorhe ang
ered the Roman Catholic party by bis aggress
ive acts with regard to tbe freedom of the
church, resulting In the expulsion of the
Jesuits and the Imprisonment of a number
of Roman Catholic bishops.
Prince Bismarck presided over the fa
tuous congress of Berlin, which resulted in
the treaty of Han Btef ano. HI nee that po
rlud be has devoted but effort toward the
foundation ut a German colonial eiutaLrtv to

lieved, however, that the definitions and
