LATE PRINCE BISMARCK.
Sensational Disclosures
The King's Name Mentioned
London, Friday,
The publication by Prince Alexander Hohenlohe of the memoirs of the late Prince Hohenlohe (German Chancellor), giving the reasons why Prince Bismarck resigned the Chancellorship in 1890, has created an indescribable sensation on the Continent. It is considered that Prince Alexander has committed an astonishing indiscretion.
The memoirs relate that when he visited the Empress Frederick, in 1888, she told him that llerr Herbert Bismarck (eldest son of Prince Bismarck) had had the impudence to tell the Prince of Wales (now King Edward) that the Emperor was unable to talk, and was really incapable of ruling.
The Prince of Wales told the Empress that if he had not attached importance to the maintenance of good relations with Germany he would have thrown Herr Bismarck out of the room. At a later stage the Prince of Wales spoke guardedly to Prince Hohenlohe. expressing disgust at the rudeness of both Prince Bismarck and his son.
