The papers, both in Germany and England, continue to pub-

lish statements and stories the meaning of which is that the German Emperor and Prince Bismarck are gradually becoming more hostile, that the Prince is in a state of extreme initatior, and that the publication of "sensational revelations" is im. mediately expected. This idea is kept up by all manner of hints about "intrigues" published in Hamburg newspapers, which the Prince is supposed to inspire; but as yet only one fact seems to be clear,—that the Prince states, publicly and in "writing," that he has been "dismissed the service" of the Empire. That looks like hot anger.
