Copyrighted, 1389, by the Associated Press. BERLIN, Feb. 25.—A further batch of letters written by the late General | Count vem Caprivi has been published. | They clearly show the patience with which Caprivi bore all the insults and attacks of his foes, but they also show how he felt their stings. In one, reply- “I must decline te comply with your wish, and give you the motives which | guided me. Not an inconsiderable part of my motives concern Prince Bis- marck, and I may say, with all due recognition of the briliancy of his per- |son and our great times, that I saw, | even before I became Chancellor, what a great drawback the reverse of that medal showed. Prince Bismarck, as has often been stated, managed his home policy by the same means he em- ployed in foreign politics. Thus the pa- tion was in danger of seeing its moral | standard lowered. But I do not think tznghtmenculmamredenlkorl particulars about this mow.” A few other lines in the letter ex- pressed the melancholy which (_apnvi felt after his resignation. He said “It is hard to be obliged in one’s work to dispense with the acquiescence of those for whom one elects, and it is still harder in old age to be separated from cireles in which ore has. Iived through a long life. But the hardest of all is to be exposed with tied hands to public disregard and be obiiged to look on and see what one believed ome had | created for the good of the state demol- ished agaim. I had to abandon many dear relations in order to remain faith- ful to my convictions. I could not fore- see this. I remained faithful to my King and myself. This belief nobody can take from me. As for the rest, peo- ple may think and say what they like.” |ELECTRIC POWER TO SUPPLY STOCKTON STOCKTON, Feb. 5.—By the first of| mext week Stockton will be directly con- nected with the great Blue Lakes power now through the city, and connection will be made with the local powerhouse within forty-eight hours.
