How far this action will influence Count Bis
marck's position in the coming hard fight in the
Prussan Chambers on the question of increased tax
alton is difficult to conjecture. The Chambers will
probably be convened in October and remain in
sion until the end of the year. He was absent last
year for more than four months without such an
nouncement as the present / am inclined to think
it is hsintention to avoid the debate in the Cham
bers entirely. According to custom here, during the
absence of the Minister President his place is filled
by the oldest member of the Ministry, and that is
now Baron Won der Heydt, Minister ofFinances, who
is committed to Bsmarck's policy in relation to in
creased taxation to make up the deficit AS regards
his politics." Er isl elm gutter Kaufman Che is true

State system that every Minister is selected directly

without being subject to the pleasure of the Minister
President as a result, each Minister has his own
opinion, and it can be very well understood why
Count Bismarck acclaimed against Ministry suchas
his that was not unit, but composed of so many
conflicting elements Unless Count Bismarck can
bring a sufficiently great amount of support upon
the representative of the Foreign Office in the
Ministry to counteract the policy of Gen. Won Room,
that Minister will exercise an influence that will
greatly endanger his own.

expressed. The decree of the King cites letter OF
Bismarck, and relieves him for an indefinite time
from the business of the Prussan Ministry. will

Heydt is to be President of the Ministry during Bis

Won Room will supply his place. The Prussian Tor

his own authority. without receiving Lis instruc-
