WHY HE RESIGNED.
HOW BISMARCK WAS FORCED TO RETIRE. Berlin, May 3. The Hamburger “ Nachpichten ” gives a new and startling phase of the secret history of Bismarck's retirement by stating as a positive fact that the Emperor’s mind was prejudiced by enemies, who influenced him to believe that the Prince took such large doses of morphine that he often lost the power of connected thought. The Emperor summoned Dr. Schwenninger regarding Bismarck’s condition. Bismarck resented the inquiries put to' his doctor, although the answers received by the Emperor convinced him that the reports were groundless. At the same time interested persons busied themselves with creating in the Chancellor’s mind the impression that the Emperor was resolved to get rid of him at any price. The manipulators of the intrigue, in the meantime, kept assuring the Emperor that Bismarck had finally resolved to resign. The article indicates a desire on the part of Bismarck to renew his close relations with the Emperor.
