As marck nnd to conduct tho affairs of tho German wmv 6V on,P'ro 'a sa'(' t0 00 on no P'nt ot retiring to !j S' ' prlvnto life. His uncompromising attltudo to- W- TVS I wnrl8 tno socialists, who aro rapidly gaining in iw ''"irT? ' I strength, has been tho means of blocking many of I) V Vs!- I tno emperor's schemes and has caused tho ut- tSi s$Jthl most JlOlculty 'n his getting tho money ho wants ft NS i tztf' a, ' . ", for an Immense army. He has won for hlmsolf I I lift Ji- tno hostility of sorno of tho court fnvorites, be. ' I rA. rSvk - ' i I cn"Bc ho has denounced their scandalous be- 'Xvj Lj f havlor, and ho has oven mado enemies In tho 1 ' J kalBcr's own household by his opposition to tho Lyx - i'a marriage of tho crown prlnco to tho beautiful Cccllio, becauso sho was tho daughter of a Russian Rus-sian grand duchess whoso escapades wero tho talk of all Europe. All this lias reminded Germany that Von Buolow was not so very lmpeccablo himself when ho was a young man, and that his marrlago to tho lovely Princess Cnmporcalo was achioved only after sho had run away from Count Charles von Doenhoff, her rich but aged husband, m Tho princess found the rambling old Roman palaco lonely with only I V her husband, a man old enough to bo her grandfather, for company, and sho j . wns attracted by tho young attache) of tho Gorman embassy. Without any pretenso at secrecy tho princess loft her husband and fled from Itomo with her young lover. That of courso terminated Von Buolow's ji " connection with tho embassy, and few peoplo would havo given much for his chances of advancement in diplomatic life. Tho appealing charm of his '! wife, oven then llttlo moro than a child, her raro beauty and their fidelity, ? -coupled with Von Buolow's own undoubted talents, kopt him In tho imperial ! k favor, and ho was sent from ono embassy to another until ho returned to V Romo as German ambassador. Roman society conveniently forgot tho elopoment, and Von Buelow hnv-J hnv-J Ing married tho lady when her husband had divorced her 11 years after tho , olopoment, thoy wero received into tho most oxclusivo circles. Tho Incident t Is now being recalled in Berlin society, howevor, and strong pressure is being brought to bear upon tho emperor to Induce him to dismiss his chan-! chan-! ccllor. |
