IL is stated on good authority thai
Prince Hohenlohe. before agreeing TO as

had q clear understanding with Emperor
William that the officials working with

with his leading ideas. that his personal

strength, and lastly. that there should bs
no interference in the execution Of the
programme which. in its main features.
has been thoroughly discussed and agreed
upon between the emperor and himself.
The trst of those points means a number
of more or less important changes in tho
personnel Of the imperial aud Prussian
cabinets beginning In this direetion

the minister Of justice. Won Bieeerstein.
the imperial secretary OF state Tor foreign
affairs. who was Caprivt's able eoadiata-
tor in the ex-chancellor's foreign policy
and hIs principal in negotiating and
bringing about the commercial sreatiss
with Russia and Austria. rendered his

The easing of the new chancollor's bur

making DR.. MIGUEL. the minister Of

Miguel, together with Dr. Won Boetticher,
the imperial secretary of state for the i'm

ton and championship Of tho government
measures in the reichstag. while Prince
Hohenlohe will pariake in debate only ON

which Caprivi and the emperor agreed.

the matter to the bundesrath in the form
