MADE PREMIER OF PRUSSIA. he Offices Vacated by Cnprivi and En- lenburg Are Thus Reunited. Prince Hohenlohc's Selection as Chancel- lor by the Kaiser Indicative of His Maj- esty's Intention to Adopt a. Conservative Policy Toward the Suppression of the Spread of Socialism—The Causes of Ca- privi’s Downfall—A. Sketch of the Life of the New ( lxancellor. BERLIN, Oct. 29.-—Prince von Hohen- lohe-Schillingsfurst has accepted the chancellorship after having at first de- cllned that honor. Prince von Hohenlohe- Schillingsfurst, in addition to accepting the chancellor-ship, has also accepted the premiership of Prussia. Herr von Koeller, under secretary of the interior for the province of Alsace-Lorraine, succeeds Count Botho zu Eulenburg as Prussian minister of the interior. This sets at rest all speculation respecting the successors to the two ofiices made vacant by the resignations of Caprivi and Eulenburg. The political thunderbolt which startled this city Friday, although a' surprise to the diplomatic world in general, has been clearly and exclusively foreshadowed in these dispatches, and your correspondent here is now in a position to state that the information which he cabled on this sub- ject was obtained from Chancellor von Caprivi himself, although your correspon- dent was not then able to make public the source of his information. A fortnight ago these dispatches said: - The general belief is that the visit of Chan. cellor von Caprivi to Emperor William at Hu- berstock yesterday was connected with the proposed exceptional laws against anarchists which have been urged in many quarters. The agitators, it is believed, really intend that the laws referred to should be applied to socialists. Chancellor von Caprivi, therefore, opposed the proposed'measures, as he does not believe in the cmcacy of special measures against them, being of the opinion that the best policy is to leave them comparatively free, thus giving the party full Scope in its internal dissent-ions, which he believed will ultimately lead to its disintegration. In any case. it is known that the present rcichstag would not pass such a measure, but it might be introduced in the diets of individual states. The situation, however, is regarded in many quarters as being grave, and some politicians even express the belief that Chancellor von Caprivi will resign unless he is fully backed up by the emperor. A Statement From Ceprivi. Your correspondent called at General von Caprlvi’s residence last evening, and the general repeated what he had pro vlou'sly said, that the leading question upon which he found it impossible to rec- oncile his own views with those of the emperor and Count Botho zu Eulenburg was the antirevclulionary measure. The second bone of contention between the same parties, he added, was the proposed treatment of the Polish question. General vou Caprivi, continuing, said that he could not acquiesce to Count zu Eulenburg's opinion that drastic and ex- ceptional measures were necessary to cope with the progress of socialism. Moreover, he was convinced that they would not be ratified by the rcichstag. The general as- sorted that he himself was thoroughly conservative, but he did not believe in measures with the reactionary character Count Botho zu Eulsnburg proposed to give to them in order to prove them effi- cacious to ward off social danger. Continuing, General yon Caprivi said: “I have made an honest attempt to fall Into line with the vmws of his majesty and Count. cu Eulenburg. but I have failed. My whole policy has been based upon a “l:'f'(!l""l_; 9,1":01‘ Of the, atrial differ-— ———7 W'ELL BALANCED ‘ ——the mind of the - woman who knows the best medicine for her aches, pains and weakness, is to be found in Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescrip- tion.

' 3...... , , . - ...u9.—M_._‘. a game-mm— questions, however, have been rendered acute lately against my own advice.” Chancellor von Caprivi’s position for a long time past has certainly been one of extreme difficulty. He was in an unen- viable situation in having to look forward to meeting the reichstag without a work- ing majority at his back. From the Con- servatives he could only expect opposi- tion, while the Center party was not pledged, and its support depended upon concessions. The chancellor was thus left with only a scattered following. Even the Polish faction was embittered against him by recent events. It must also be remembered that a sys- tematic campaign has been long waged against the chancellor by the reaction- aries, Chauvinists, agrarians and Bis- marckians, who united in their intrigues to bring about his downfall. The Bismarckian motive has naturally been revenge. The colonial party has long been dissatisfied with the chancel- lor’s aversion to an active colonial party, and the agrarians are discontented at the commercial treaties and hail the chancel- lor’s fall with unfeigned delight. Finally, a powerful force against which the gen- eral had to contend has been the covert opposition of Dr. Miquel, the minister of finance, whose policy has apparently been dictated by his own ambition. The Emperor’s Policy. This opposition, nevertheless, made lit- tle headway against Chancellor von Ca- privi until they enlisted Count Botho zu Eulenburg in their ranks, and the Prus- sian ministry was then played off against the imperial government, and the personal opposition between the two chiefs was created. ' This maneuver of the enemies Of the chancellor was successfully accomplished by Sedulously fostering antisocialistic agi- tation and urging drastic antirevolution- ary legislation. Count zu Eulenburg, as was expected from the knowledge of his character, went strongly in favor of thor- oughgoing measures, thus becoming an- tagonistic to the chancellor, who counsel- ed moderation. This antagonism, as ex- pected, soon reached an acute stage. and in the denoument the general’s enemies can claim the fruits of their ceaseless and apparently unscrupulous energy. The emperor’s choice of Prince von Hohenlohe for chancellor is taken as evi- dence that his majesty does not intend to adopt. the extreme view of the measures required to arrest the spread of socialism. This opinion is largely based upon a fact which leaked out that the summoning of Prince von Hohenlohe was in accordance with the desire expressed by the repre- sentatives of the south German states in audience with the emperor on the ground that the prince was the Bavarian premier in 1866. It is also understood that at the same audience the Bavarian minister spoke in favor of a moderate policy respecting so- cialism and cxpressad the opinion that the Bavarian laws were quite adequate to deal with socialist agitation. THE NEW: CHANCELLOR. Vast and Varied Experience In Old Ve'orld stator-raft. _ BERLIN, Oct. .‘59.'—Clodwlg Cari Victor, prince of Hohenlohc-Schillingsfurst, the new imperial German chancellor and pres- ident of the Prussian council of minis- ters, was born at Rctlierburg March 31, 1819, and is the second son of Francis Joseph, prince of Hohenlohe-Schillings- furst of the line of Waldenburg. On the death of his father, in 1841, Clodwig had just begun his judicial and historical studies in the University of Gottingen. A year later, after having passed his ex amination with distinction, he took a subordinate position in the public service as ausculator in the office of justice at Ehrenbreitstein. He next became refer- endary of the government at Potsdam. While Working thus diligently at his post in Prussia, the landgrave of Hessen-Rhein- fels-Rothenburg died, and the princely family of Hohenlohe succeeded to a rich inheritance, including the lordships oi Ratibcr and Corvey. The event, however, did not alter Clodwig’s position. His eld- er brother took the domains of Ratibor and Corvéy, to which the king of Prussia, William IV, added the title of duke. In 1845 on the death of his brother, Philip Ernest, Clodwig succeeded, with the consent of his elder brother, to the old family seat of Schillingsfurst. and, for- saking tthrussian service, took up his permanent residence in Bavaria. Thus at 27 years of age he became a hereditary member of the Bavarian parliament. The ministry meanwhile in Frankfort sent him as ambassador to Athens, Florence and Rome. In 1849 he returned to Frank- fort. Having' married the Princess oi Sayn-Witgenstein, by whom he had a numerous family, he retired for some ten years into private life, paying frequent visits to England, France and Italy. In 1860 the prince again entered upon parliamentary life and favored through- out an alliance with Prussia. Toward the end of 1866 the youthful king request- ed Hohenlohe to prepare and lay before him a programme of the principles which were to serve eventually as a ministerial policy. Prince Hohenlohe fulfilled ,his commission to the satisfaction of the king and on Jan. 1, 1867, succeeded Pfordten as Bavarian minister. The whole of Ger- many at last adopted the Hohenlohe pr 0- gramme. In 1858 Prince Hohenlohe was elected vice president of the customs par- liament of the German federation and again in 1869. .1 In his capacity as foreign minister oi Bavaria he issued his famous circular of April 9, 1869, directing the attention of the European cabinets to the serious con- sequences likely to arise from the decrees of the oecumencial council of the Vatican. Hoping to get the pope to withdraw his pelitical opposition and viewing mere religious innovations with extreme indif- ference. the Prussian government slight- ed the warnings of the Bavarian minister and refused to take action against the contemplated decrees. In consequence oi this desertion by the principal exponent of the united party, Prince Hohenlohe could not hold out against the attacks of the combined particular-lets, Catholics and Austriacanti in the Bavarian parliament d had to resign (March 7, 1870). , - . .

Upon the successful termination of the war in 1871 he was elected member of the first German parliament. and, in rec- ognition of his patriotism, immediately became vice president thereof. In May, l 1874, after the deplorable exit of Count Harry Arnim, Prince Hohenlohe was chosen German ambassador to France He was one of the German plcnlpoten- tiarles at the congress of Berlin in 1878. In August of that year he was re-elected to the reichstag on the second ballot at Forchhelm, Kulmbach, Bavaria, polling 9,800 votes, while his Catholic competitor had 8,600. After the death of Marshal Manteutfel, Prince Hohenlohe was ap- pointed governor of Alsace-Lorraine, a appointment as chancellor. Praise For Hohenlohe. COLOGNE, Oct. 29. -—The Cologne Ga- zette says that the choice of Prince von Hohenlohe as chancellor will be greeted with the liveliest satisfaction in every part of the empire, as among living state- men there are only a few who in the same degree have done such great service as be for the unification and consolidation of Germany. The paper adds that Herr von Koeller has long been regarded as the em- peror’s candidate for the post of minister of the interior. Franco and the German Policy.

SEATTLES DEATH TREE Ten Men, Three Women and Three Children Burned to a. Crisp. SIX coarsss. UNIDENTIFIED. [he Bodies, Charred Beyond Recognition by the Merciless Flames—Sad and Sickening Sights In the Awful Chamber of Horrors. l SEATTLE, Wash, Oct. 29.—-The awful fire which destroyed the West Street hotel yesterday morning proves even more hor- rible in its deadly results than at first re- ported. Sixteen persons—gten men, three women and threp little children—were burned to death. The bodies thus far identified are: , F. Boltman, ~ M. McCooley, August Nixon, C. Wilson, —— Anderson, Andrew Otterson, Mrs. Otterson and her mother, Mrs. Huffman, and little son and daugh- ter. , The bodies of four men, one woman and one child are unidentified, being too badly burned. The hotel occupied the upper floor of a corrugated iron building that covers a quarter of a block at Columbia and West streets, one block from the Northern Pacific depot and near the busi- ness center of the city. The building was a mere shell of wood, covered with iron. There were several exits, but they were narrow. The hotel being near the rail- road and a cheap house, it was much pa- tronized by country people. The fire was undoubtedly caused by the explosion of a lamp in the kitchen. . Before any warning could be given the flames had spread over the house. The corrugated iron sheeting kept the flames hid until nearlythe whole interior was a furnace. It was not until fire was seen in the windows that an alarm was turned in. When the firemen arrived, the fire did not present an alarming aspect, and the people at the windows were rescued with ladders. Three men jumped, but escaped with severe bruises and some broken bones. The firemen played water through the windows and were re-en- forced by the fireboats. At 2:40 a. m. the fire was under control, and the firemen were able to enter the shell. Burned to Death In Their Beds. At the head of the stairs they found the body of a man pinned to the floor by the ruins of ,a bedstead. Continuing the search, they discovered corpse after corpse, until at 4 o’clock they had counted 15. Subsequently another was discoverd. Most of the bodies were left where they lay until daylight int-he hope that the proprietor might identify them by locat~ ing the rooms, for every one but two were charred beyond recognition. . One poor fellow was caught in the rush of the confiagraticn near the top of the West street stairway and sunk down, overcome with the smoke. The firemen fought to keep the. fire from his body, but were driven back. In one of the hallways a charred body was found. A little farth- er on in the same passage was another body, evidently that of a woman, face up- ward and hands stretched as if fighting for her life and appealing for assistance, which never came. There was little left of her form for identification. In another hall was the body of an aged woman, fear-fully distorted, face upward and pre- senting the appearance of one who had died in the most horrible agony. The saddest sight of all was found in an inside room ed a hall leading to West street. There, calmly lying in a charred and blackened bed, was an entire family. The father lay on one side, the wife next to him, and a little bared arm. the flesh fall- ing from it, the small fingers clutched, showed that a little child was among the victims. ' Sickening Sights. In an adjoining room was a still more horrible sight. In a corner of a small in- side room two charred skeletons met the gaze of the seekers. The clothing was burned from each and the first, that of a man, with blackened stumps of arms, seemed to be fighting an impending dan- ger. Ixnmediatly beside him, upright and clutching her waist, was the skeleton of a woman. _ Startled, they had arisen from their bed. When the’ smoke and flames had rushed on them and before they had realized their awful danger, they were overcome and met the most horrible of deaths. ‘ In a portion of the hotel where the flames did not destroy the woodwork the bodies of tw0 more were found. One'man was completely dressed, and the other was in his night clothes. They were sufiocat- ed. 1n the corner of a room where the upper parts of the walls were burned away was an unburned spot on the floor and In the place against the wall sat awifc dead, her arms around her dead husband, who set before her on the floor, his eyes burned out and her hands burned off. . All the bodies were taken to the morgue yesterday morning in boxes. As the rigor of death had long before set in, it was impossible to straighten out the distorted limbs of some of the dead. The arrangement of the halls of the hotel made such a labyrinth that in the day one unfamiliar with the place would have had difficulty in finding his way about, and as the balls were filled with smoke there was little chance for any of the unfortunates to make their way out before being suffocated.
