BERLIN, April 81 Associated Press Copy
right, 1892. THE ministerial changes
arising out of the recent crisis have
been definitely completed by the ap-
pointment of Herr Hanauer to be
director of the Office of justice in
the empire. The powers of Count
Won Eulenburg as president of the Prus-
sian ministry will be tested on Tuesday
next, when the Centrists in the lower
house propose to debate his appointment
by challenging his allowance for president
of the council. The Clerical Conservative
majority rejoice at the chance to show
hostility by the rejection OF the credit.
The National Liberals and Freissinnige
party are also reluctant to grant
money, but will vote the appropriation
this year as part of the new temporary
ministerial arrangement. The whole ques-
ton of the separation of the functions of
the imperial chancellor and chief of the
Prussian ministry, and the abandonment
of the primary education bill will be
warmly discussed.
Count Won Eulenburg, in his opening
speech as president of the ministry, dis
appointed everybody who knew his old
form as an orator. The debut tended to
become formidable rival of
Chancellor Won Caprivi. The intimate
friends of the latter now patronize Won
Eulenburg as a protege of the chancellor,
who is credited with saying that he
means to familiarize the new chief with
the work of the chancellory and foreign
affairs and then retire.
The present session of the landtag will
close ON the sth inst. The Centrist mem
bers are baffied and furious over the with
drawal of the primary education bill. If
the allowance for the president Of
the council is defeated it will be
brought before the new landtag. The Gen.
trist leader, Schorlemenalist, in recent
speech at Essen, announced that the re-
sumption of the education bill would be
the foremost plank in the electoral pro-
gramme of the Centrist deputies, and that
joint declaration had been sent to the
Vatican containing a similar intimation.
Count Won Schouvaloff, Russian ambas-
sador to Germany, has made overtures to
Chancellor Won Caprivi with view
to the restoration of the commercial
entente between Russia and Ger
many. No news for q long time
has awakened more interest in diplomatic
circles. The car is reluctant to give as
sent to renewal of relations, and yelled
the acceptance of the ambassadors pro-
posals by the appointment of a
commission charged with reg
ulating commercial relations and
to first consider the settlement of an en-
tente with Germany. This news ought.
for a time at least, to check the war ru-
mors, which are largely traceable to the
