CRISIS IN GERMANY Caprivi and Zedlitz Give Up Their Portfolios.' TEOUBLE OVER CHUECH AND STATE Control of the Schools the Difficulty The Kaiser Not Kn Rapport with the Measure Fathered by the Ministers The KuibarrntMUieiit Fills the Social ists with Joy, While Kraperor Wllhelm Hesitates to Part with His Chancellor Riotous Doings at IJcrlin. Beklis, March 19. The primary educa tion bill which has been a bone of conten tion ill the Prussian landtag for some time has resulted in a ministerial crisK Caprivi, who was pledged to the bill, has followed Count von ZedlitzTruetzechler bo was also a champion of the meas ure anil resigned his portfolio. The em peror, who is a strong friend of Caprivi, but an opponent or at any rate a luke warm advocate of the educational bill, is thinking over some plan by which Caprivi can be retained. There .is also a move ment on foot to get Zedlitz back in har ness. At the cabinet council yesterday afternoon much pressure was brought to bear on the count to induce him to recon sider his resignation. Stands by the Original Programme, lie is said to have answered all argu ments with the statement thut any varia tion from the original programme for tue school bill rendered it impossible for him to retain ofliee. He was appointed to of fice to frame and put through the landtag such a bill after Minister Von Gossler, bis predecessor, had failed, and he therefore could not, with justice to himself, remain in ofliee wiicu the government contem plated withdrawing any of its support. His resignation therefore must stand, if the emperor would accept it. It is re ported that Count Caprivi also declines to withdraw his resignation. Many Wild Humors Prevail. The greatest excitement prevails here end wild rumors are started hourly as to the progress of affairs between emperor and cabiuet. It was said last night that the emperor will probably let Count Zed litz go but will make every effort to retain Caprivi. Among the Ultramontanes con sternation is manifested at the sudden turn of affairs, and they threaten that, should Caprivi fall on account of his ad herence to the bill, they will bolt the gov ernment coalition in both landtag and reichstag. Social Democrat Jubilant. The Independents, National Liberals and Social Democrats are jubilant overthe embarrassment of the government, and predict that the emperor will be thrown for legislative support ontheir parliament ary representatives. Such an event would necessitate a complete change of pro gramme, an abandonment of the present reactionary tendency, and the undoing of much paternal legislation of the last two sessions of the reichstag and landtag. The Men and the Trouble. Caprivi is the imperial chancellor of Germany and also a member of the Prus sian government. Zedlitz is Irussian ministerof ecclesiastical affairs. This bill over which the trouble arose is one that tries to arrange matters between church and state in regard to t he schools, and the emperor thought it gave too much power the Konian Catholic ecclesiastics. The two ministers, however, were firm in their support of the bill hence the difficulty. Although Chancellor von Caprivi modi fied his utterances lately a little as re gards the school bill, he has not disclaim ed the spirit of it. The Emperor Going to Recuperate. Caprivi, it is hoped, will consider him self not only as Prussian minister but as also imperial chancellor. He would make a strange impression if be resigned on ac count of such a purely Prussian matter as their school question. The emperor has the alternative of letting zeilitz alone go and keeping both. The emperor has been so fatigued by the excitement of the last two duys and by the malady from which he suffers tVat when the crisis shall have passed l.o will go to the country to recuperate. A REVOLUTION ANNIVERSARY. The Socialists Take the Opportunity to Raise Cain. Yesterday was the anniversary of the revolution of 1S48. The memories of the day and the excitement over the cabinet crisis filled the streets with people, and the socialists made a demonstration. They gathered in thousands and went in pro cession to Friedrichshain to decorate the burial places of the victims who were mas sacred by the military on the memorable day in 1S48 when the king and queen of Prussia stood with uncovered heads be fore the dead. On their return they raised revolutionary cries and gathered in the streets shouting the same. Every time large groups formed the police charged and dispersed them. In most cases the crowds retired before the charges. Twice, however, the citizens refused to disperse, and came to hand-to-hand fights with the police. The latter then drew their swords and used them as clubs. Women and children were pushed in the struggle and the street was filled with a shouting crowd pressing up to join in the strug gles. Bed Flags Displayed and Captured. Ko weapons, so far as known now, were drawn by the citizens, and it is reported by the police that few were cut, although many arrests were made on charges of re sisting officers. Red flags were displayed in a group of men on the Lansberger plats. All were stopped and searched by the police and six red flags which were found were confiscated. It is reported that sev eral men were cut in a scrimmage with the police at the corner of the Palisaden and Lansberger strasse and that two po licemen were knocked down with stones thrown by men in a crowd of anarchists. The police deny this Great confusion prevailed last night in the beer gardens and on the coiners of the streets between the Alexander platx and Friedrichshain and 800 policemen were on duty in this district. They are under orders to dis perse with drawn sabers all street gather ings. More trouble is expected. Cries of the Revotatlealsts. It was learned late last evening that re stated charges were made by the police witn urawn sworns near rue King s utter in the afternoon and on the Lansberger plats.' Many are said to have been wound ed but the number is unknown as most ot them were not arrested, but simply driven into side streets. The charges were the result of several gatherings round inflam matory speakers, and shouts of "Dovro with the classes." "Down with the police," and "Long Jive the revolution." RUSSELL IS FOR CLEVELAND. An Incident at the Ancient and Honor able Artillery Banquet. Boston, March 19. At a dinner Thurs day night commemorative of the 254th an niversary of the granting of the charter of the Ancient and Honorable Artillery com pany Governor Russell was present for a short time and was introduced by Captain Taylor as "The next president of the United States." This announcement cre ated the wildest enthusiasm, t he governor ineffectually trying to make himself heard for several minutes. He Flings Away Ambition. Finally when the noise had somewhat sub sided Governor Kussoll said; Mitch as I appre ciate the compliment of the introduction I feel that I must rise and disclaim any ambi tion or hifrh aspirations for that crest ofliee, and proclaim my honest and loyal belief in the candidacy of another, whom I earnestly and heartily support. Loud cries of "Cleveland," "Cleveland!" at which the governor smiled very eigniticantly. They Marry Because It's Cheap. St. PETEK-snrnG, March 19. One of the singular results of the Russian famine, and one which is puzzling the economists for an explanation, is the enormous in crease in the number of marriages in the afllicted districts. The theory most com monly advanced to account for this matri monial "boom" is that the fees charged by the priests for performing marriages have been greatly lessened. The priests find it more uiflieult to get a living than in boun tiful seasons, and have accordingly re duced their rate, so as to bring marriage, o to speak, within the means of the hum blest citizen. Peoria Printer Want More Pay. P'i:i., 111., March 19. Trouble is threatened between the publishers and the Typographical union of this city, on account of a new scale that the printers are seeking to enforce. The new scale is an advance of nearly 20 per cent, over the old one and cannot be met by some of the employing printers, all of whom have signified their willingness to accept the old scale which is also claimed to he out of proportion to that paid in similar cities. One or two establishments will suffer while many printers will be thrown out of employment. Committed Suicide cm a Train. CINCINNATI, March 1!'. A well-dressed man, evidently a traveling salesman, got on Ohio and Missippi train Xo. 4 at Vin cennes yesterday. He had a ticket, for Xorth Vernon and took a seat in the smok ing car. .

Senator Hill took a cruise around the harbor n; Savan nah yesterday and later left for this place. There were no stops, but at several places the people gathered, cheered and fired salutes.

Resolutions were adopted highly eulogizing him, but say ing nothing about the presidency.' He left here today at 1 p. m. direct for Wash ington. Hctw Did That Cat Ciet There? Toplka, Kan., March 19. A farmer living in the northern part of Mitchell county, while digging a well in ground that had never been broken, came across the skeleton of a small animal which those versed in such things declared to be that of a common cut. The skeleton was found at a depth of thirty-five feet in a bed of magneslan limestone. There is much speculation as to the way it got there, as it is perfect in every part- and in excellent preservation, though showing the signs of great age. Will Come Down From Her Ferch. X'EW York. March 10. The goddess Diana, who has poised so proudly all win ter on top of the tall tower of Madison Square garden, is to come down from her lofty perch. She is to be replaced, how. ever, by a smaller edition of herself from the hand of the same sculptor who de signed the present statue, August St. Gaudens. It has been agreed that with her eighteen feet of height the goddess has proved too large for the tower from an ar tistic standpoint. Closing tiie Large Collieries. Pottsville, Pa., March 19.

Y., says that Sheriff Thornton when asked by ita representative about a hole reported to have been found in the wall of the cell of Perry, the train robber, said that the hole was not one through which Perry could have got out; but it was a rat hole In which was found a warden key and a knife made in the shape of a saw.
