BERLIN, Nov. 10.--Now that the daz

lightning change" solution of the minis
terial crisis IS clearing away and the people
are taking a clearer view Of the situation
in all its bearings two disti ct feelings are

among politicians generally res espectlng tn e
stability of the German home policy.
which there is now little doubt will be
considerably modified by the advent of
! Prince Hobenlohe. the new Chancellor.
and the other feeling of anxiety openly
expressed by the mouth pieces of the Liberty
parry at the autocratic attitude when the
Emperor assumed in settling the difficulty.
! His action was certainly not more ar
bitrary than upon the occasion of the
downfall of Prince Bismarck from power,
! but the German people hardly expected to
witness a repetition of That incident
within so comparatively short period.
The National Zeitung gives emphatic
expression to this misgiving and declares
that the soldity of the Prussian Cabine t
must be re-establisheG if nfdence is to
be restored.
The radical organs are even more out
spoken. The Boersen Courier reminds its
readers that two Chancellors, four In
perial Secretaries of State and fifteen
Prussian Ministers have been used up in a
little more than six years.
The GrenZeboten says: CLEARLY conf
deDce in the stability of the vital princi-
pies of the Government has been weakened
by recent events" The newspaper also
calls upon the German nation to make a
firm stand in defense of its constitutional
rights.
The most striking utterance, however,
comes in the Zukunft, which, in an arti-
Gle printed to-day on the Emperor's auto
crat tendency, makes rather daring CON-
parison between Emperor William and
Charles | of England, who was forever
demanding the explicit and unceasing con-
fidence Of his subjects, with what results
to himself are readily recalled
The Zukanit remarks. .3ia,tsrs frays
come 10 such pass in the German Empire
that the most weighfy decisions depend
uDon accidents aud the company the En-
peror chooses to keep and on The manner
his entonrage represent things to him.
The citizens themselves, who preserve and
protect this German Empire and maintain
the army and the court, are expected to
always assured that the well-qualified au-
thorit1es are safeguarding their welfare.
This is asking too much.'
Such outspoken remarks are rarely
ventured in the German public press. and
the Zukunft is treading upon such danger.
Gus ground that it is likely soon TO find
itsels in trouble with the authorities. It's
utterance, nevertheless, truly voices the
growing feeling of misgiving among a
large and liberal-minded section of the
German public. however, and is more
easily discarned in the States outside of
Prussia. Indeed, the Emperor has been
forced into a realization IF the dangers of
the present situation by renonstrances ad-
dressed TO him from Bavaria, Baden and
Wurtemberg regarding Carrivi's dismissal
and The gen eral disability OF the Govern
meni. This is an important fact because
1t became known simultaneously with
the announcement that Caprivi's trip to
South Germany was not entiraly private
affair, but takes the form of a mission at
the request of the Emperor, with the object
of calming the feeling of unrest and allay-
Ing the reawakpned disposition toward
independent acticn on the rart of the
South German States, instead of ac.ing in
strict conformity with the policy of the
I'm perial Government.
A demonstration of this spirit of partic
ularism is found In the Grand Duke of
Baden appointing special envoys to the
courts of Stuttgart and Munich. Since
General Won Caprivi's dismissal the Grand
Duke of Baden has not concealed his in
dignation at the nnceremonous and sud.
den ministerial disruption, and he has
taken this step in order 10 show his disap-
proval. Prince Hohenlohe had an audi
ence with the Prince Regent of Bavaria
at Munich on Thursday last. but the result
of this interview is not known up to the
present moment
The feeling OF apprehension respecting
the stability of the home policy of Ger
many is amply justified by the Ministerial
changes which everybody now agrees TO
be imminent. Prince Hohenlohe, as stated
in previous dispatches 10 the Associated
Press, Is determined that every member of
the Cabinet shall be in entire harmony
with his views. Besides the important
changes already known it is announced TO-
day that DIR. Karl Won Boettcher, Imperial
Secretary of State for the Interior and
Vice-President of tho Prussian Council of
Ministers, has rendered his resignation,
but up to the time this dispatch is filed the
resignation has not been accepted by the
Emperor. The half-hearted denial of this
statement only tends to confirm it, and an
official announcement to the effect that
DR.. Won Boetticher has resigned is ex-
pected within few days.
The ReichsaDzeiger to-day publishes the
appointment of Herr Won Hammerstein,
Director of the Province of Hanover, as
Prussian Minister of Agriculture, to sue
ceed Herr Won -Cadow. As al
ready cahled TO the Associated Press,
Hammerstein is president of the German
Agricultural Council, which presented
Prince Hohenlohe few days ago with a
list of its demands. Hammerstein is one
Of the largest landowners in Hanover.
