BERLIN, April 2.-The ministerial changes
arising out of the recent crisis have been
definitely completed by she appointment of
Herr Hanauer director of the Office Of JUS
tice Of the empire. Herr Hanauer was
gazetted tonight as the successor of DR.. Won
Bosse as secretary Of state In the office of
justice Of the empire Herr Hanauer has a
good record as director Of the department
The powers of Count Won Gutenberg as
president of the Prussian ministry will be
tested on Tuesday next. when the csnterists
in the lower house propose to de-
bate his appointment by challenging the
allowance for president Of the council. The
separation OF the functions of the imperial
chancellor and those of the president of the
Prussian ministry necessitated supple~
mentary credit Of 5000 marks, covering
salaries and all other expenses Of the Office.
The clerioo-conservative majority rejoice
at the chance to show their hostility by
the rejection OF the credit. The national
liberals and freisinnige party are also re-
luctant to grant the money, but will vote
for the appropriation this year as part of
the new temporary ministerial arrange
ment. The whole question Of the separa-
ton of the functions Of heimperial chan
cellor and the chief of the Prussan min-
istry, and the abandonment OF the prima-
ry education bill will be warmly discussed.
Count Won Eulenberg's opening speech as
president of the ministry disappointed
everybody who knew his old form as an
orator. Instead of making clean, apt
statement with the ease OF a ready speaker.
he read his declaration, which was badly
drafted and badly phrased His debut
tended to alter the Impression that he could
become q formidable rival OF Chancellor
Won CeprivL. Intimate friends Of the latter
now patronize Count Won Gutenberg as a
proteae of the chancellor, who is credited
with saying that he means to familisrize
the new chief with the work OF the chan
ceuoTic and foreign Office. and then retire.
Tho present session OF the
LandtaR will close on April 8. The men,
oers are battied and are furious over the
withdrawal Of the primary education bill.
The clerico conservatives will give the gov
ernment party kick, bus even the rsjec-
tion of the credit made necessary by the
separation of the functions OF the imperial
chancellor and the chief of the Prussian
cabinet will not lead to an immediate miiia-
terial crisis. The government may refer
the question to the new Landtag.
The cenetrist leader, Herr SchoFlemsn-
Alst, in speech recently made at Essen, an
nounced that the resumption of the education
bill would be the foreEnezt plank iu the cleo
toral programmeof the cente ist deputies
A joint declaration has been sent to the
vatican containing similar intimations
Count Won SchouvaIoff, the Russian am
bassador to Germany has made overtures to
Chancellor Won Caprivi with a view to the
restoration Of the commercial entente bet
ween Russia and Germany. No news for
long time has awakened more interest THAI
this In diplomatic circles, whore the report
was at first disoreditsd. 1t, however, re-
ceived confirmation to-day from st. Peters,
burg. The Initiative was taken
solely by Count Won Schouvaloff,
who has for long time been trying to in
duce the czar TO consent Co a renewal OF
friendly commercial relations with Ger
many. The czar Is reluctant TO give his
assent to a renewal Of relations and has
yelled his acceptance of his embassador's
proposals by the appointment of commits
sion, charged with regulating the CONNER
cial relations of Russia with foreign nations.
The commission consists of Count Won
Schouvalotf, Nj. de Giers, the
foreign minister; NJ. Vishnegradsky,
minister of finance; State Councillor
Tunirajasef, with Privy Councillor
Abasa, a minister without a portfolio, as
president. The czar has instructed the COM
mission to first consider the settlement of
the entente with Germany. This news
ought for time at least to check the war
rumors, which are largely traceable to the
Kreuz-Zeitung
A leading solid fact regarding the war
preparations is that the Russian army is
not flt for the field The new equipments
will not be ready before the autumn Of 1894.
Another diplomatic surprise was the de.
cision Of the Austria Hungarian government
to accord Hungary separate represen .Gtion
at foreign courts. Some step OF this nature
1t has been known at the chancellarie here,
would probably be approved by Emperor
William and Chancellor Won Caprivi,
though as chiefly a matter OF Austrian in
ternal policy, they had no right
to enter a plea. DR.. Wekerle,
In the lower house of the Hungarian diet at
Pesth to-day announced that the govern
ment would examine as 10 whether proper
expression could bs given to the national
position of Hungary in foreign affairs
through special Intercourse with foreign
courts. he added that negotiations on the
subject were pending. and he hoped soon to
be able 20 communicate the result. The
announcement is gratifying 20 every Hun
garian group. Or. Wekerle declined to state
how the change would operate. 1t is be-
heved here that the Hungarian ministers at
foreign courts will have decorative, and
not practical political functions, and It is
understood that distinct consular represen-
