BERLIN, June 9.-The fall of Herr Won
Puttkamer, vice president of the Prussian
ministerial counsel and Prussian minister
of the interior, has caused immense jubila-
ton in the radical camp.
Herr Richter, in the F'reissinniqe,
ascribes his downfall directly to his speech
in the landtag and closes an exultant arti-
cle with the exclamation: "Long live the
kaiser; may God preserve his strength.
If he does SO, many other things in Prussia
will improve also" The satisfaction which
the government party derive from the
kaser's Welding to Prince Bismsrck's rep
reseptation that 1t would never do by veto
ing the quinquennial parliament bill
10 furnish the radical opposition a
nretext to boast that the kaiser
had sided with it against his own cabinet
and the conservative majority is dampened
by the prospect of an imperial rescript.
FURTHER RESERVATIONS POSSIBLE.
The Cologne Gazette and other govern
ment organs daily urge the emperor
against doing anything likely to cause
further designations. Herr Puttkamer
never had the full sympathy of the emp
error and the latter's decision to part with
him. betokens his determination to impart
to his reign the stamp of his own Independent
convictions.
Herr Won Puttkamer's' letter of iustifca-
ton treated the matter as a personal one.
1t was submitted to the cabinet. The
kaiser's reply intimated that Herr Won
Puttkamer had failed to convince him
Prince Bismarck visited Herr Won Putt
kamer to-day, but not the Emperor, SO
nothing is yet decided regarding Herr Putt
kamer's successor.
SOME OF THE CANDIDATES..
The national liberals want Herr Miguel,
MAYOR of Frankfort, or Herr Won Bennig-
sen. probably the former, to sue
coed him. The radicals desire Herr
Winter, mayor of Dantzig Neither
party is hopeful that the emperor will go so
far to the left in his choice and it is doubt
full whether any leader would accept the
position in the present uncertain state of
affairs.
The emperor's journey to Potsdam was

spirit of the Arthurian legend. The fine
weather of the past two days has enabled
him to spend much time outdoors, to his
great benefit, ssas it is certain bis removal to
Potsdam caused a slight relapse His appe-
tlte is still enfeebled by the heat and his
laSsitude, and the doctors are trying to
augment it.
FETEs NOT TO BE STOPPED.
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
The empress, during her tour of the
flooded district, stopped at Elbing, Dir
schen and Schnudemehl, visiting the suffer
ers by the floods and receiving the town Of
flcias. She will return to Potsdam at
midnight tonight. Her majesty has sent
kindly answer to the address presented to
her by the W. men and girls of Gulitz.
Prince Bismarck is expected at Kissen-
gen on July 7 for a three weeks sojourn.
His wife's illness has been serious, but the
danger is now averted and the princess is
able to leave her bed at intervals.
DUTIEs ON RUSSIAN GRAIN.
The National ZeitUng states that the
government has abandoned for the present
its intention of increasing the duties on Rus
sian grain. This announcement had good
effect upon the bourse, which was quiet
during the week, with the exception of a
disturbance which was caused by a rumor
that the government contemplated the
conversion of four per cent. Prussian con-
soils into three and a-half per cents.
Germany's foreign trade during April
last does not compare favorably with that
Of April, 1881 The exports of iron and
steel show large decrease and pig iron Of
from 253, S31 tons to 81, 094 tons. The i'm
ports of coal and wood show an increase
and those of sugar, rye, oats, copper, zinc
and cotton decrease.
FOREIGN COIN.
Beginning with the month of July, the
circulation of foreign coin will be prohib-
tied throughout the empire, except in dis
trlcts near the Austrian and Swiss frontiers
This measure is mainly directed against
The French coin in circulation in Alsace
and Lorraine. The Kreus Zeititn6 states
that the government will soon introduce
the maxim mitraillense into the army and
that Herr Krupp has acquired the exclusive
night of the manufacture of the weapon for
twenty years.
