A
PRINCE BISMARCK'S RESIGNATION
ACCEPTED.
THE CAUSE OF HIS RETIREMENT.
BerLiN, March 18,5 P. M.—It is
just announced that Prince Bismarck’s
resignation of the Chancellorship was
accepted by the Emperor at noon to-
day,
All the members of the Imperial
Ministry resigned at the same time
Bismarck tendered his resignation,
The report is repeated to-day that
the Emperor proposes to appoint Gen~
eral Von Caprivi, who is now com-
mander of the Tenth Army Corps, to
the Chanceliorship,
It is stated] in well-informed political
circles that the present difference be-
tween the Emperor and Prince Bis-
marck is irreconcilable, It arises from
the Chancellor’s refusal to accede to a
equest made by Dr. Windthorst, the
leader of the Clerical party in Germany,
to restore to the Duke of Cumberlaud,
the claimant of the throne of Hanover,
the larger portion of the Guelph fund.
The attitude of the Emperor in oppos-
ing Prince Bismarck in this matter is
taken as an Indication of his desire to
conciliate the Clerical party. If the
(vovernment is to secure a working ma~-
jority in the new Reichstag it cannot
well get on without the party of the
Centre, which Dr. Windthorst con-
bros,
Lonpon, March 18, —The following
despatch has been received at the Lon-
don office to-pight, via Cologne, from
your Berlin correspondent:
The great question discussed is who
will be Dismarck’s successor. Most
men incline to the idea that Dr. Hinz-
peter will be the man, Ile ls known
to be in sympathy with the Emperor's
social reform and to entertain political
views in direct opposition to the Chan-
cellcr,
But even if the Chancellor goes,
there is scarcely a doubt that Count
Herbert Bismarck will retain his posi-
tion as the head of Foreign Affairs,
Herbert Bismarck will retain full
power, while the Chancellor will be
retired with all the honors of war,
Hereafter the Emperor will bs his
own Chancelior, If Hinzpeter does
succeed Bismarck he will be little more
than & private secretary to the Em-
peror. :
The immediate cause of the crisis is
obscure, but It is believed to be the
Smperor’s Socialist policy, which is
paving a great effect in internationa
weil as domestic affairs, The
Emperoricajobes where Bismarck favors
the cudgel.
Another despatch says:
The belief increases that Count Ier-
bert will remain.

BeErLIN, March 19.— T he authenti
reasons for Prince Bismarck’'s retire-
ment are these: The Emperor asked
him to remain as Chancellor, but to
resign the Presidency of the lmperigl
Ministry, so that each M nister should
be directly responsible to the Crown
for his own department. This, ot
course, meant thal the Emperor in-
tended to be his own Prime Minister.
An answer was demanded by Mon.
day night. None, however, arriving,
the Emperor sent an aid-de-camp for
Prince Bismarck's reply, which ar-
rived the same night, in the form of a
complete and absolute resignation of
all his offices, Thereupon General
Caprivi became the Chancellor, but vot
the Prime Minister, Eulengberg,
whom Bismarck had displaced, got an
important post. Waldersee, the Chief
of Staff, suddenly started for Italy, to
the immense surprise of everybody,
The Emperor's severe criticism on
his work as the General of the Staff 1s
supposed to be the reason of his de-
parture. Prince Bismarck packed up
and quited the Capital to spend his
birthday at Friedrichsrube and to be-
come & country gentleman. The Voss
Zeitung remarks on all this, that not a
hand was raised nor a pen stroke drawn
to induce the great Chancellor to re-
main in office; bitter satire on the
fidelity of Bismarck’s former par-
tisans,

GRANDMOTHER'S face Is wrinkled,
And her eyes have grown so dim
That she cannot read her Bible
Nor follow through the hymn,
And her hands sre often idle,
For knitting tires them so,
But her bram is always busy
With thoughts of Heaven, I know,
Grandmother's waiting, walting,
To hear God's summons given
And dreaming of her dear ones
Gone o'er the hills to Heaven,
t always thrills me strangely
To think of her waiting thers,
At the gates of God's white city,
With its sun on her silver hair,
To meet her husband's kisses,
And to bear him softly say:
“1 have walted a long time, darling,
For this happy. happy, day!”

That she sees them, for a smile
Ireaks over her face, as she whispers.
“Yes, dear, in a littie while.”
Only a little more waiting

And grandmother will be young again
With her dear ones in the skies,
