The cmperur's choice of Prince Won
Hohenlohe for chancellor, is taken as evi-
dencc that his majesty does not intend to
adopt the extreme view Of the measures re
quired to arrest the spread of socialism.

The appointments of the new officials
were gazetted today. Both Prince Won
Hohcnlohe and Herr Won Koeler yester-

the new palace, Potsdam, and returned to

tered upon his duties at the ministry of the
interior.
As the political position clarifies the re.
tiremcnt of Count Caprivi from the chan
cellorship assumes still further the char
acter of an actual dismissal The trouble
appears to have originated in the EN-
peror's reception of a deputation Of East
Prussian agrarans, headed by Count Zu
Eulcnberg. The deputation was sub
missive, but the agrarian organs used the
reception as proof that the emperor was
favorable to Count Zu Gutenberg. The
latter appeared to be determined to re-
main in Office. Count Won Caprivi sub
mttted a memorandum to resign if Count
Hu Gutenberg remained in office Being
forced TO choose between the two the en-
peror, ms known, gave his unqualified ap-
proyal to Count Won Caprivi's policy,

reception of the agrarians, an article in
the Cologne Gazette attacking Count Zu
Gutenberg appeared Count Zu Eulenberg
resigned on Friday morning The emperor
sent Her Won Lucanus, chief Of the civil
cabinet, to ask Count Won Caprivi whether
he had inspired the article in The Gazette.
Count Won Capriyi replied in the neg
ative, but expressed his sympathy with
that papers views. The emperor then sum
moned Count Won Caprivi and demanded
a public disavowal of the article Count
Won Caprivi repeated that he had not in
spired the article, and would not publish a
disclaimer because he agreed with its
views. He now had no alternative but to
resign, which he did 1t is now known as
a fact that the emperor tried to reconcile
the personal differences between the two
men, but failed
Comments are made on the curious ir-
ruption Of the imperial personal idiosny
cracies into the domain Of government
Had Count Won Caprivi been discarded
for the purpose of inaugurating an alter
native policy the public could readily un.
dcrstand the change, but that new chan.
ccllor should be appointed to- execute cx.
