Religion in Russia.
Regarding the Importance of the re-
igous question in Russia, the follow
ing remark, attributed to Nicholas H.,
is especially interesting:
Il am a pious Christian; but my be
lief in the Savior does not entitIe me
to prosecute Others on account of their
faith"
This remark. if authentic, would in
dicate the ezar's intention to bring the
| regime of the procuratorlgenera of the
holy synod to a speedy end. Such a
development of the religious question,
| it is almost needless to say, would be
hailed With the greatest joy in Ger
many, as the German Stundists, Jews,
Lutherans and Catholics in Russia,
have long groaned under fanatical per-
! secution.
The Ministerial Crisis.
! In all the interest in the events of
Russian political circles, Germany's
ministerial crisis has been the subject
of anxious discussion and profound con-
| Germ. AT first, the solution of the crisis
| by the advent of the new chancellor,
Prince Hohenlohe was supposed to be
a mere exchange OF persons. But the
general conviction is now gaining
+, ground that a change of system has
also been inaugurated, or at any event,
| a considerable modification of Ger
nlany's home and foreign programme
| is within sight.
| It is stated on good authority that
| Prince Hoflenlohe, before agreeing to
assume the burdens of the chancellor
ship, had q clear understanding with
Emperor William that officials working
| With him and under him should be in
| accord with his leading ideas; that his
I personal labors should not be in ex-
cess OF his strength, and lastly that
there should be no interference in the
| execution of the programme which, in
! it's main features, has been thoroughly
discussed and agreed upon between the
emperor and himself.
The first OF those points means
| number of more or less important
| changes in the personnel of the imper-
! ial and Prussian cabinets. A begin
ming in this direction was made in the
designations of Heiden-Cadow, minis
ter of agriculture, domains and forests,
! and Won Schelling, the minister of
justice.
Won Bieberstein, the imperial secre-
= tary of state for foreign affairs. who
was Caprivi's able coadjutor in the ex-
| chancellor's foreign policy and his prin-
cipal in negotiating and bringing about
the commercial treaties with Russia
and Austria, rendered his resignation
today after the ministerial crisis. The
emperor, however, after consulting
with Prince Hohenlohe. not only re-
fused to accept his resignation, but az
a. token of his high appreciation and
confidence appointed him a member of
the Prussian cabinet
Emperor is Active.
| Emperor William has not tagged in
his ceaseless energy during the past
week. Besides taking a most decisive
share in the reimbursement in the po-
litical affairs on account of the minis
terial crisis, he received daily reports
from the military chiefs and has dined
and lunched several times with Chan
cellor Hohenlohe and Prince Hohenlo-
he-Langenburg. He has also devoted
much attention to the crown prince of
Sweden, and unveiled the statue cree
ted in honor of his Ghe emperor's)
grandfather, William I, at Stettin. His
majesty also presided at the extraor-
/ binary session of the general synod
ard has attended to innunerable minor
matters.
