Duke of Baden Thoroughly Angered
at the Emperor's Course-strasburg's
Farewell to Prince Hohenlohe-A More
Energetic Colonial Policy to Be
Adopted.
Perrin. Nov. 11.-Freiherr Won Hammer
stein. the high tariff fedual agraian, has
entered the ministry of agriculture amidst
the fears and reproaches of all liberal
Germany. The gazetting of his appoint
mont has stirred up bad blood throughout
the empire. 1t provoked so many veno-
NOUS comments from the unofficial news
papers that the Nord Deutcshe Allgemeine
Zeitng felt moved yesterday to publish a
general defence of the governments
course in the present crisis. The burden
of the article was that the German dailies
erred in attacking men and should with
hold their criticisms until they should
learn the nature of the measures to be in
troduced by the new ministers. The Ma
tional Zeitung, national liberal, replies:
The choice of Won Hammerstein is de-
plorable in itself. What measures are to
h. expected from a man who has identified
himself with the active agitation of the
agrarians and has negotiated for the re-
storation of the Guelph fund to the Duke
of Cumberland"
In his Freisinnige Zeitung, Eugene Rich
ter says in a defiant article: 1--WE desire
an explanation of the role which Herr Won
Lucanus, chief of his majestys civil cabi-
net, played in the shutting of the cards be-
fore this ministerial crisis. 1t is declared
publicly and creditably that Won Lucanus,
before the crisis, approached secretly and
successfully Prince Bismarck, Chancellor
Won Caprivi, Prince Hohenlohe and sew
eral ministers TO sound their opinions on
certain Justice" Herr Richter does not
dare to accuse the emperor directly of pre-
pairing the dramatic wreck of his cabinet
but he asks significantly: What business
had Lucanus TO meddle thus with the min
listers? What were his aims? Who put
him up to this sort of work."
Emperor William undoubtedly has got
himself into an unenviable position. He
has found it necessary to explain the crisis
even to his closest ally and family friend
the Grand Duke of Baden. On the eve of
Chancellor Caprvi's fall the grand duke
was in Berlin and was convinced that all
was harmony between the chancellor and
the emperor. He left the city at once, but
before his express train could land him in
karlsruhe, everything was upset, Chan
cellor Caprivi and Count Gutenberg had
gone, and the whole cabinet was shaking.
The grand duke was thoroughly angered
and under the revulsion of feeling against
the emperor, suddenly appointed Freiherr
Won BOdmann to be his special envoy at
Munich and Stuttgart. His purpose in re-
Viving these obsolete missions was to ar
range for a closer understanding among
the south German courts, so that they
might watch and influence imperial mat
ters more advantageously. Semi-official
newspapers pretend that Freiherr Won
Bodmann's mission has no bearing on the
crisis but relates solely to south German
questions, but it is plain that the emperor
has been forced into half apologize posi-
ton. Prince Hohenlohe's hasty visit to
Karlsruhe cannot be explained on any
other ground than the necessity of appeas-
ing the grand duke.
Prince Hohenlohe will stay in Strasburg
four days. The new governor will meet
him there, although he will not enter office
Tor two or three weeks. On Tuesday
Prince Hohenlohe will be honored with a
farewell demonstration by the civil and
military functionaries the presidents of
the German societies in the Reichland,
the mayor and municipal councillors of
Strasburg and about everybody else eX-
cept the implacable professors Propos-
ais to take part in this official leave-tak-
ing were discussed by the professors, but
were voted down.
Or. Keyser's retirement from the colo
NAL office is attributed to the emperors
decision to enforce a more energetic pol
Icy in colonial regions. His successor,
Maj. Lieber, made a good record as spe-
cial commissioner to East Africa in 1893.
Under the emperor's direction he will
come to militarize the colonial admins
tratlon and reduce the number and influ-
ence of civilian officials.
The koelnische and the Kreuz Zeitung
agree that new era in Germany's colo
NAL policy is about to open and that one
Of its main objects will be to check British
greed of land and trade in Africa. The
hreuz Zeitung advises that the first step
should be the ousting of England from
Samoa
Count Won Caprivi is enjoying his holi-
Gay with Maj. Won Ebmyer, his former
aid on the shore of Lake Geneva and
probably is oblivious to the ISLANDERS which
ms enemies still heap upon him. The
Nolks Zeitung remarked maliciously sew
eral days ago that, although Count Ca
PRIV lost a fortune by the failure of
Berlin bank two or three years since,
ne had saved enough while in office to
GUY large estate near Crossen. The in
sihuation was repeated until the Koel-
Hlsche Zeitung exposed its falseness and
areSed down the Volks Zeitungs edi-
Tor. The truth is that both in and out OF
ofhce Count Caprivi has never been man
general he spent all his pay. He never
eeonomized, as he had reason to realize
"hen he left Berlin after his dismissal
with 500 marks in his pocket. After this
small sum was spent Maj Ebmyer had
10 provide for the ex-chancellor's needs
al Montre. During the four years and a
haH of Maj Embyers stewardship he
saved 10000 marks for the chancellor
ana this sum has now been deposited in
d German bank to Count Caprivrs credit
Inc income from this source and his
pension of 1900 marks are all that Count
Caprivi has. As a bachelor OF simple hab
u.s. Count Caprivi will have no difficulty
IN living within his income; i'm fact. his
.otal personal expenses have been barely
,DVo marks year. the rest has gone TO
his relatives.
As the confusion in the government in
,reases, the tendency Increases to look
pack with regret on Count Caprivrs sim
PIE courteous, straightforward methods

reader, said 1T is our duty 20 address
