BERLIN, July 22.-The emperor's de-
parture on yachting cruise, during
which he will visit several points i'll
Sweden, and the adjournment of the
relchstag marked the beginning of tine
cead season III Berlin, which is in great
contrast to the lively period of ferment
caused by the army bill. The respite,
however, will be brief, since the gov
eminent will soon be busy considering
the army bill budget. The first phase
In the financial question that accom-
pany the bill was the resignation sew
eral days ago of Freiherr Won Maltzahn,
secretary OF the imperial treasury.
Ills withdrawal from Office is aScrlbed
to his disapproval of the gov
ernments action in abandoning the
proposal to levy taxes on beer and
spirits. 1t is more probable, however,
that his real motive was the fact that
he felt that he did not possess the power
or authority to solve the financial prob
lem with which he was brought in COLI
tact. The Conservatives themselves
did not place sufficient confidence in his
ability. Ii DIR. Miguel, the present Prus-
sian minister of finance, should become
the relchSfnanZ minister. Freiher Won
MaltZahn. holding the position of secre-
tary OF the imperial treasury, would
have been mere tool in the hands of
the former. Hence, pride was further
reason for Frelherr Won Maltzahn's
resignation.

ceIved with diSapproyal by Gen. Won
SatferlinG, who, apon its conclusion, de- |
clared that Bavaria had already or |
dered that no maneuvers be held in !
the districts where distress was preva- |
lent. This statement was loudly ap-
plauded. The emperor was chagrined |
that Bavaria should thus have discom-
fitted Prussia, and he let fall remarks |
that were repeated TO the PruSsian war |

was left small option but TO resign, and |

lengthy article yesterday, empnasized |
this phase of the matter. 1t disavows |
Germany's interest in preventing
