MINISTERS OF THE KAISER.
Count Herbert Bismarck May Be Given
an Important Post.

Berlin, Oct 31.-Further rumors are in
circulation this morning in regard to pos
sible ministerial changes in addition to
those already announced. One Of them
obtains some credence. 1t is the report
that Count Herbert Bismarck is to be
made an ambassador to one OF the great
powers or councillor to the chancellory.
1t is stated that Prince Hohenlohe has
come to an agreement with Emperor VIII
liam which viii change the imperial policy
in several important respects. The first
visible sign of this is the issuance Of an
order to establish agricultural bureaus in
connection with the German embassies at
London, Washington, Paris, Vienna, and
st. Petersburg. This step Is looked upon
as evidence of a strcter protective agra
rian policy which is known to have been

SMALL LOTS SHUT OUT.
Drexel, Morgan & 90. Will Issue Only
in 1OO-Share Blocks.

New York, oct. 31.-Drexel, Morgan &
Co, have decided not to issue any script
for fractional lots of new Southern rail-
way securities. The consequence is that
people who have bought script for the new
securities when issued are concerned as to
whether the contract will hold good if the
script is not delivered. Drexel, Morgan &
Co., will buy or sell the fractional lots at
the market price. A circular will be is
sued, probably tomorrow, giving the full
details as to the exchange. 1t is believed
it will be physically impossible to get the
new securities out next month. Those
who come first, however, will be served
first. The difficulty of getting in the
script, as found in prior organizations. is
supposed to be the reason for issuing no
fractional stock in the Richmond Termi-
nal reorganization.

soon speeding along the mountain road
at swift gallop. A splendid horse.
woman herself, the girl observed with
admiration the firm, easy seat and grace
full poise Of her companion. Habitually
indolent as he was or affected to be,
Monckton rode like centaur, and Miss
Duke noted with what perfect control
and power the delicate, womanish hand
lifted the fiery animal over the ruts and
distractions in the narrow. rugged high
way.
During the first portion of the ride
neither referred to the subject of their
previous conversation. Monckton spoke
but little and always in his languid,
drawing fashion. but Miss Duke was
secretly surprised at the glimpses Of
originality and power thus partly re-
vealed TO her. Had she mistaken this
maE7 Was he really something more
than the selfish idler. feeble Of mind
and effeminate Of body. which at first
she had believed him to be:
AS they neared the crossroad to the
mines tall figure in a wCrkman's
dress stepped out from the shrubbery,
and catching sight of the riders paused
abruptly and stood watching them as
they rode up. Miss Duke recognized

Il am sorry to hear you talk in this

the whole affair as "a disgusting bore
and O. the strikers themselves as ill
conditioned ruffians'' - observations
which, heiny reported to the malcon-

Monckton had fallen into habit of

society, and returning home at night

which had sprung up between these
