THE GERMAN CRISIS.
THE EMPEROR AND BISMARCK.
'BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH—SPECIAL MESSAGE ]
Berlin. March 22. The resignation of Prince Bismarck has been gazetted. Prince Bismarck has been created a Duke nf Lsurenberg and has been appointed a Field Marshal.
The appointment of M. Caprivi as successor to Prince Bismarck, is regarded as hopeful. The Emperor, in referring to the resignation of Prince Bismarck, said it was impos sible to repay the unregulated services rendered by that statesman. He also intimated that Prince Bismarck would continue to advise in the maintainance of a policy of peace. The Emperor has declined to accept the resignation of the Prussian Ministry, which was sent in simultaneously with that of Prince Bismarck.
The ultimate canes of Bismarck's resignation was the Emperor wishing that Ministers should be held responsible apart from the Premier.
General Von Caprivi is regarded as a capab'e and popular successor to Bismarck. Count Herbert Bismarck will in the interim continue at the head of the Foreign Office.
General Von Caprivi conferred with Prince Bismarck before assuming office, and declined to accept the Chancellorship unless he was also appointed President of Prussia. Acting, however, on the advice of Prince Bismarck, he withdrew his objection, and was appointed Chancellor.
It is probable that Count Ha zfeldt will succeed Count Herbert Bismarck as Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs. It is reported that Prince Bismarck has declined the Dukedom as being too poor to maintain the dignity.
