Ministerial Crisis In Germany

BErLIS. March 10. A calmer view of
the ministerial situation prevails every
where to. night. 1t is positively known
that Chancellor Won Caprivi has not re-
signed and that the retirement of Count
Won Xedlitz, Prussian minister of eccle
s~iastical affairs. instruction and medici-
nal affairs. is still undecided. 1t depends
On the result of Emperor Williams de
alterations in the solitude Of Hubertus-
stock. Now that the nature Of the crisis
is better understood it is seen that at no
time had it been of the suddenly mo-
mentous character that rumor gave to it.
Since the committee having in charge
the Prussian primary education bill be-
.an its sitting, Chancellor Won Capriyi
and Count Won Iedlitz have been offer
ing vigorous opposition to the tentative
amendments to the measure. Only last
week the government seemed to be seek
ing for an arrangement Of the difficulty
that had arisen over the bill. which
would be satisfactory to the national
liberals and which would break up the
threatened coalition with the Freisin-
nige party. Herr Miguel, Prussian min
ister of finance. who, when the bill was
pro mpted, offered to resign his office and
was only induced to retain his position
by the promise of the emperor that salts

national liberal leader. to inform the
emperor that his party retained NJ hope
that the negotiations would result sue
cessfully unless the bill should be so al
tered as to deprive the Catholic and
Lutheran clergy of ii special right given
them to control religious teaching in
elementary schools. The emperor there
fore had to force the loss of his ablcst
minister-Her Miguel.
1t was left to Won Zedlitz to offer a
plausible compromise. On Thursday
asst he instructed Count Won IedlitZ to
prepare a compromise measure on the
basis of the demands which the national
liberals had made. Count Won Zedlitz
rounselled with the chancellor, who
urged that the attempt be made to do
what the emperor wishes. Won Iedlitz
found that the attempt to alter the bill
in such way that it would satisfy the
national liberals would involve such
radical changes as to make the measure
impossible of acceptance by the o n
-ervative and centerist majority and
that his only way was to resign. lie will
adhere to his resolution to retire from
the ministry if the emperor persists IN
mis- feeling in regard to the national
liberals.
In order To think over the difficulty in
complete s~eclusion his majesty left Der
in for his shooting seat, an hours Jour
ney by rail from Berlin. The date of
his return is uncertain and depends on
the state of the weather and his health.

crisis shall have waned. His maiesty's
nabit of isolating himself to brood alone
over state questions Of great Importance
has rarely failed to result in some new
departure. Meanwhile the members of
the national liberal and F%rcislnnige par
ties are rowing over their temporary sue
cess.
