Bis marck resigns chancellorship amid quarrel with emperor
Ber lin March 19 Prince Otto Bismarck resigned as chancellor after the Emperor accepted his withdrawal and all Prussian ministers followed suit in a cascade of retirements. Reports say Count Herbert Bismarck and Minister Maybach may also resign. The crisis centers on Bismarck’s refusal to restore Hanover’s Duke to Guelph land and on possible moves to calm clerical opposition. The press notes a shift toward Caprivi as potential successor and signals European tensions easing slightly after the shock.

Caprivi Named German Chancellor Amid Cabinet Changes
General von Caprivi, commander of the Tenth Army Corps, is appointed Chancellor to succeed Prince Bismarck. Von Boetticher becomes Prussian minister president, while Count Eulenberg succeeds von Boetticher as interior minister. Bismarck's resignation sparks reshuffles, with Maybach and Herrfurth resigning and Bismarck slated for an ambassadorship. Caprivi, seen as a war expert, is praised for calm leadership and strategic insight, though his foreign portfolio is expected to remain with the foreign secretary. The report notes mixed reactions across Europe, with Paris and St Petersburg signaling cautious responses to the change.

Bible in Public Schools Raises Unconstitutional Question
Wisconsin Supreme Court Justice Lyon sustains a lower court ruling that reading the Bible in public schools is constitutional as instruction. He distinguishes the divinity teaching as not universally believed and not sectarian, while parts about the Trinity and Sacrament are not universally accepted. The debate follows a Rock County case from Edgerton.
