He was educated at Lausanne, Leipsic, and Berlin; studied law, and took part in the Franco-Prussian War, rising to the rank of lieutenant, after which he entered the diplomatic service. He was successively secretary of legation at Rome, St. Petersburg, and Vienna, and became chargé d'affaires at Athens during the Russo-Turkish War, subsequently acting as secretary at the Berlin Conference in PRINCE BERNHARD VON BULOW 1878. In 1888 he was appointed minister to Rumania, and ambassador to Italy in 1893; but was called back to Berlin in 1897 to hold the portfolio of foreign affairs. His skillful management of the Samoan difficulty increased his reputation as a statesman, and two years later he concluded a treaty with Spain, by which Germany secured the Caroline, Pellew, and Ladrone islands, upon which he was raised to the rank of count. In the complications with China he carried out the foreign policy of the Emperor. On the resignation of Prince Hohenlohe in 1900, he was nominated Chancellor of the German Empire and Prime Minister of Prussia. In 1905 his strenuous policy in regard to Morocco caused the fall of M. Delcassé, the French foreign minister, and nearly precipitated a European BÜLOW war. This was, however, avoided by the meeting of the conference at Algeciras. He married the stepdaughter of the Italian premier Signor Minghetti, Princess Camporeale. In 1905 he was raised by the Emperor to the rank of prince. In his home policies, he showed considerable skill in combating the radical elements and keeping the reins of power in the hands of the conservatives, but in 1909 he was forced to resign because of the failure of his budget proposals. During the World War he played no conspicuous part, although it was understood that he was engaged in secret intrigues to separate Italy from her Allies, after having failed in a special mission to Rome in 1915, sent for the purpose of keeping Italy from entering the war on the side of the Allies. He wrote "Imperial Germany" (1914). BÜLOW, HANS GUIDO VON, a German pianist and composer, born in Dresden, Jan. 8, 1830; was intended for a lawyer, but adopted music as a profession. He studied the piano under Liszt, and made his first public appearance in 1852. In 1855 he became leading professor in the Conservatory at Berlin; in 1858 was appointed court pianist; and in 1867 he became musical director to the King of Bavaria. In 1857 he married Cosima, daughter of Liszt who, in 1869, left him to become the wife of Richard Wagner. His compositions include overture and music to "Julius Cæsar," "The Minstrel's Curse," and "Nirwana," songs, choruses, and pianoforte pieces. He was considered one of the first of pianists and orchestral conductors. He died in Cairo, Feb. 13, 1894.
