Berlin, Nov. 4.-The Koelnische Zeitung
announces the resignation of Dr. Won
Schilling, minister of justice. He will re-
tain his post until Dec Il, however, and
thus complete his fiftieth year in the state
service. Even with this change, the cabi-
net crisis will not be finally settled. Dr.
Won Boettileher, secretary of the inter-
ior, and Freiherr Won Berlepsch, minister
of commerce. are shifting uneasily in their
places and may go at any time. Both have
offered to retire, but were requested by
the emperor, who fears to disquiet the
country with more political sensations,
to defer all action for the present.
On Friday the emperor had a long con-
ference with Prince Hohenlohe and Frel-
herr Won Bieberstein as to minor appoint
ments, but he reached no decision Prob
ably Feiherr Won Vilamowitz, governor
of Posen, will succeed Herr Won Heyden
in the ministry of agriculture, and Herr
Won Puttkamer, now imperial secretary
of the Reichsland, will accept the post
left vacant by Herr Won Koeller's removal
to Berlin. 1t has been reported that Frei-
herr Won Hammerstein, tory reactionist,
might succeed Herr Won Koeller This
has aroused the apprehensions of the lib
WI IN think would pa-
dictionary tendency of the new cabinet.
Prince Hohenlohe has nominated Capt.
Count Schoenborn- Wiesentheid a Catholic
member of an old medlazed family, and
n relative of the chancellor by marriage,
to be his aide
The other changes under consideration
include the creation Of a minister of colo
MES, and the appointment Of DIR. Miguel
to be vice chancellor. The latter step is
taken to relieve Prince Hohenlohe of any
conspicuous part in the parliamentary
debates.
Whatever the arrangement. however,
DIR. Miguel will remain the Prussan fl
nance minister.
The personnel of the chanceliory and
foreign ministry Is in the midst of an over
hauling. designations and transfers are
the order of the day. Until quiet is re-
stored in both departments the govern
ment will be at a great disadvantage,
nenCe JHe pOSIponeineut OF the opening
of the Reichstag. Had the deputies met
at the middle Of the month as at first
arranged they would have found the
government in an embarrassing state of
dissolution.
The first Prussian cabinet council in
which the new chancellor and premier
presided was held on Wednesday. Herr
Koeller and Frieherr Marschall Won Bieb-
erstein, the two other new members, were
present with the full force of older min
isters, but in view of the impending
changes, all discussion of a legislative
programme was avoided
The policy of the new government can
only be surmised. The reteMrion of Freih-
err Marschall Won Bieberstein is taken to
mean the continuance of Count Won Ca
privi's policy of reciprocity treaties Herr
| Koeller's advent Is supposed to imply
stricter repressiVe masures against the so
cial democrats.
The elericals get only a moderate amount
of satisfaction from Prince Hohenlohe's
appointment, because his attitude to-
ward the Catholc church is not that of an
extremist. He. like his cardinal brother
is an opponent of the Vatican's aspirations
for temporal power and disapproves of the
pope's foreign policy in general.
The report that the chief of the crown
prosecutors, Herr Lessendorff, will sue
ceed Herr Won Schilling in the ministry
of justice, is received with general regret
and some incredulity Herr Lessendorff is
a noted buldozer with very elementary
ideas on the subject OF personal liberty
and constitutional government The Vos-
siche Zeitung, radical, says: 1--WE fear
that this Is a further sign Of the dark reae-
tion that is TO unsettle and becloud the
bright outlook for free national Develop

Blsmarck's fall. The change NAV conciI-

serious convulsions. Those statesmen
who further the revolutionary cause most
are the ones who disregard the demands
