ened by the absorption of faction

leaders Of the Nationals. He viii offer Mi

placing Schetz, whose eye malady grows
worse. These prospective changes do not
threaten seriously Bisruarck's hold over
the Cartel party though they are likely to
weaken the Governments majority III
the new House.
The Post tonight semi officially denies
that Count Won Munster has resigned as
German ambassador TO France. The re-
port TO that effect was part of the cur
rent rumcrs that Count Hatzfcldt would
be transferred 20 Paris, Count Won Walder-
see going TO London. The Post does not
contradict the Won Waldersee rumor. Bis
marck is again intriguing with the
Emperor to send Won Waldersee to a
high diplomatic post, IN which the
Bismarckian craft will succeed in ex-
posing him to adverse criticism. Won
Naldersee was last year offered the
Vienna Embassy, but got the Emperors
permission TO decline II. The Chancellor
Is now reported 70 be urging the Emperor,
If he desires Won Waldersee 10 become
Chancellor, that he must train him i'll

Tience.
The Emperor has instructed the Ministry
OF Justice 90 report on the execution by
electricity. He Is in favor of this method
of execution il it will produce a painless
death with absolute certainty. He reads
everything attainable on the scientific side
Of the question, and has sent the Ministry
copious notes on the American and Euro
pean scientists inquiries into the matter.
His personal conclusion was that cleo
tricity ought not to be applied unless the
preparations for execution be short and
simpler than for hanging or beheading. lie
thinks that the methods hitherto suggest
ed are clumsy.
The report of the German East African
Company for 1888, referring to the conces-
