As Secretary of the Imperial Treas

TO Solve the Financial Problem.
Berlin, July 22.-The emperor's de-
r8rture on yachting cruise during
which he will visit several points in Swe-
der. and the adjournment of the reich
sr9g marked the beginning of the dead
season in Berlin, which is in great con-
trsst to the lively period caused by the
army bill. The respite, however, will be
br.ef. since the government will soon be
bnsy considering the army bill budget.
The first phase in the financial ques-
ti0us that accompany the bill was the res
igDation several days ago of Freiherr Won
NaltZahan, secretary of the imperial
treasury. His withdrawal from Office is
aseribed to his disapproval of the
governments action in abandoning the
proposal to levy taxes on beer and spirits,
II is more probable, however, that his
real motive was the fact that he felt that
he did not possess power, or authority, to
solve the financial problem with which he
was brought in contact. The conserva-
tiyes themselves did not place sufficient
confidence in his ability. If DIR. MIGUEL,
the present Prussian minister of finance,
should become reichseinanz minister,
Freihem Won Maltzahan, holding the
position of secretary of the imperial treas
uy, would have been a mere tool in the
hands of the former, hence, pride was
further reason for F'reiherr Won Malta
han resignation.
ANOTHER RESIGNATION EXPECTED.

war will also resign His silence during
the debates on the army bill is often
strongly commented on Though he is an
able general as a parliamentarian, he is
far inferior to his predecessors, Gems.

glaring antagonism to his Bayarian col

the recent fodder debate in the
reichstae was most unfortunate. He

by Gen, Won Saffeing, who upon its con-

held in the districts where the distress
was prevalent. This statement was
loudly applauded. The emperor was
Chagriued that Bavaria should thus have
discounted Prussia and made remarks
that We're repeated to the Prussian war
minister. Gen. tenborn-Stachau was
left no option but to resign. And this he
will shortly do.
