Berlin June 9-The fall Of Herr Won Puttkamer.
vice cepresdent Of the Prussian Ministerial
Council and Prussan Minister Of the In
terror, has caused immense !ubilaton in the Radi-
cal camp Herr Richter, in the " Freisinnige,' asa
cribes his downfall directly TO his speech in tho
Landtag, and closes an exultant Article with tho
exclamation, Long live the Kaiser! May God
preserve his strength! II He does so. many other
things in Prussia and Prussia will improve also."'
The satisfaction which the Government party de-
rive from the Kaiser's yielding to Prince Bismarcks
representation. that it would never do by vetoina
the Qunquennal Parliament bill to furnish ths
Radical opposition a pretext TO boast that ths
Kaiser had sided with IL against his own Cabinet
and the Conservative majority is dampened by ths
prospect Of an Imperial rescript. The Cologne
Gazette and other Government organs daily urgc
the Emperor against doing anything likely to Gauss
further designations.
Herr Puttkamer never had the full sympathy of
the Emperor, and the latter's decision TO part
with him betolens his determination to impart
to his reign the stamp Of his own independent
convictions Herr Won Puttkamers letter Of justi-
fcation treated the matter as a personal one Ii
was not submitted to the Cabinet The Kaiser's
reply intimated that Herr Won Puttkamer had
failed TO convince him. Prince Bismarck visited
Herr Won Puttllamer to-day but not the Emperor,
so nothing is yet decided regarding Herr Putt
kamer's successor. The National Liberals want
Herr Miguel, Mayor of Frankfort, or Herr Won
Benngsen, preferably the former, to succeed him.
The Radicals desire Herr Winter Mayor Of Dantzis.
DEVOTION SHOWN THE EMPEROR
The Emperors journey TO Potsdam was idealized
by the loyalty Of the people, and has been treated
by the Berlin press in the spirit of the Arthurian
legend. The finer weather of the past two days
has enabled him to spend much time outdoors
to his great benefit, it is certain his removal
to Potsdam caused a slight relapse. His ap-
petite is still enfeebled by the heat and his
lassitude, and the doctors trying assist it.
DR.. Leyden has again joined in the consultations.
Dr. Howell returns at the Emperof's special res
quest as soon as his private affairs will permit.
The Emperor has decided that no summer fetes
or other festivities shall be stopped on account
of his condition or the death of his father.
VISITING THE FLOOD SUFFERERS
The Empress, during her tour of the flooded
district stopped at Jonasdorf, Altefelde, Elbing,
DirsChau and Schneidemuhl, visiting the sufferers
by the floods and receiving the town officials.

THE DUTIES ON RUSSIAN GRAIN.
The :" National Zeitung' states that the GovernA
ment has abandoned for the present its intention
of increasing the duties on Russian grain This
announcement had good effect upon the Boersc,
which was quiet during the week, with the ex-
ception of disturbance which was caused by o
rlmor that the Government contemplated the con-
version of the per cent Russian consols into
31-2 per cents. 1t is believed that the Minister
of Finance is in favor of such project, but the
present circumstances are not favorable for an
operation of such magnitude.
