Th. insistence of Embassador | Cambon for the change, however, in- | dicated that he considers it of great importance, and it may turn out in the end that it was more material than the President will now admit.

Members of the Cabinet declare that no one will be ap- pointed on the commission who will not favor holding at least all that the administration wants, and who will not hold out to the end for these conces- sions. Several names have been men- tioned in connection with the commis- sion. Minister Wocdford will surely be a member of it, former Senator Ed- munds has been mentioned for another and Secretary Tracy for another. The name of former Secretary Olney is being brought forward to-day, and he is being strongly urged upon the Presi- dent by some Republican Senators who have unbcunded confidence in his firm- ness and who believe he could not only match any commissioners Spain might bring forward in shrewdness, but that he could be depended upon to yleld nothing beyond what might be contem- plated by his instructions. There has been some oppostion developed to Ed- munds on account of his known oppo- sition to territorial expansion.

I said to him: ‘We must drink a glass of champagne together” We did so and he was in such good spirits that he smoked five pipes running. Then I persuaded him to go to bed before I left for Berlin, which I had to do, although even then 1 feared it was only a case of days. Last night I just returned in time to see him pass away. I feel as if the aim in my own life were gone. My only con- sclation is that whatever might have been his previous physical suffering, which he bore so heroically, his death was singularly free from suffering and agony. It was the going out of a light, indeed. This afternoon I am going to embalm the body myself. It is the last service I can render his precious re- mains. “The funeral service will take place either on Tuesday or Wednesday. He will precbably rest in his coffin in the room he died in, for he will ultimately rest in a mausoleum that is going to be built on a hill opposite the schloss, a spot the Prince once selected himself. ‘We were out driving together two years ago when he said: ‘I should like to be buried there, just opposite where I have lived the last years of my life.’ I told him that in that case it would be best to put it down in writing. This de did, and to-day at luncheon the document containing the dead Prince’s wishes was read aloud. Bismarck will thus sleep among the trees he loved so well.

Sl LETTER OF THE PRINCE RESIGNING HIS OFFICE BERLIN, July 31.—The Lokal Anzei- ger publishes a long article on Bis- marck by Dr. Moritz Busch. It gives an_alleged copy of the original text of | Prince Bismarck’s letter to Emperor William on leaving office in 1890; which it is understood was only to be pub- lished after his death. In this docu- ment Bismarck is represented as say- ing: Council of Ministers after your Majesty, in respect of the same, has ur~ed a capitis-diminutio, relying upon | el oreign Affairs. an abrogation of the order of 1852, which regulates the relations of a Min- ister President to his colleagues. “Moreover, in regard to. my official prerogatives, your Majesty has impos- ed limits which do not permit me to “It is not yossible for me to re- | e oxecution of which I must be pre- tain the position of President of the | have a proportionate share in state business and its supervision of that freedom of action in ministerial de- cisions or communications with the which my coustitutional responsibility requires.

It would thus call in question all the important results for the German Empire which our foreign policy has attained under unfavorable coniitions on lines laid down by both your Majesty’s predeces- sors. “In view of my attachment to the service of rour Majesty’'s royal house and the many years during which I have grown habituated to a position which I have Litherto regarded as an enduring one, it is very painful to me to sever myself from my aceustomed relations to your Majesty and from the general policy of the empire and Prus- | sia, but after conscientious considera- tion of your Majesty’s intentions, for pared if I remain in office, I cannot do otherwise than beg your majesty to relieve me of the office of Imperial Chancellor.

I would have tendered my resignation to your Majesty long ago if I had not thought your Majesty wished to util- ize the experience of a true servant of your predecessors. Since I have be- come certain that your Majesty does not care to avail herself of them I with- draw from political life, without any apprehension that public opinion will condemn my decision as untimely.” b Bgerg Wisn e NOT GENERALLY KNOWN BY THE BERLIN PRESS LONDON, July 31.—A dispatch from Berlin to the Associated Press says: The news of Prince Bismarck’'s death reached this city at a late hour and was only generally known this morning. A number of papers, including the Post, the Vorwaerts and the Deutsche Zei- tung, did not contain the news of the Prince’s demise. The Kreuz Zeitung and some others had only a brief no- tice. . The Tageblatt this morning issued a Bismarck supplement. The Lokal An- zeiger prints the fullest details from its special correspondents at Friedrichs- ruhe, but the other papers, misled by Dr. Schweninger’s and the family's statements regarding the Prince’s con- dition, made no provision to obtain news of his death.
