BERLIN, Nov. 3.-lu all the in terest In
the events OF Russian political circles.
Germany's ministerial crisis has been the
subject during tie week of anxious dis
cussion and profound concern. At first
the solution of tie crisis by the advent of
the new Chancellor, Prince Hohenlohe.
was supposed to be a mere exchange OF
persons, but the general conviction is now
gaining ground that a change of system
has also been inaugurated, or at all events
that considerable modification of Ger
many's home and foreign programme is
within sight. 1t is stated on good author
lily that Prince Hohenlohe, before agreeing
to assume the burdens of the chancellor
ship, had clear understanding with En-
peror William that officials working with
him and under him should be in accord with
lis leading ideas, that his personal labors
should not be in excess of his strength,
and lastly that there should be no inter-
ference in the execution of the programme
which, in its main features, has been thor
oughlv discussed and agreed upon between
the Emueror and himself. The first of
those points means number of more or
less important changes in the personnel of
the Imperial and PruSsian cabinets. A
beginning in this direction was made 10
the designations Of Aeiden-Cadow, Minis
ter OF Agriculture, Domains and Forests
and Won Schelling, the Minister of JUS
tics.
Won Bieberstein, the Imperial Secretary
OF State for Foreign Affairs, who was Ca
privrs able coadjutor in the EXCHANGED
loTs foreign policy and his principal in
negotiating and bringing about the COM
mercial treaties with Russia and Austria,
rendered his resignation the day after the
Ministerial crisis. The Emperor. how
ever. after consulting with Prince HOhen-
lobe, not only refused to accept his resg-
nation, but as a token Of his high appreci-
alton and confidence, appointed him a
member Of the Prussian Cabinet.
Thus, as the Prussian Junker party notes
with great deal of dissatisfaction, there
are now two non-Prussiaus in the Prus-
sian Cabinet-Prince H0henlohe. who is a
BaVarisn, and Won Bieberstein, who Is a.
Badenese. 10 addition the Governorship
OF the Reischland. an Office yielding a
prlncely revenue with almost regal power.
is held by another Notwithstanding
ohenlohe-Lan genburg, a Wurtemb burg er.
The easing Of the new Chancelo r's bur-
dens is understood to be accomplished bv
making Dr.. MIGUEL. the Minister of
Finance, virtually Vice Chan cellor, DR..
Miguel. together with DR.. Won Boetticher,
the Imperial Secretary of State for the In
terror, will generally attend to the rreseu-
tation and cham ionship OF the Govern
ment measures in the Reichstag, while
Prince Hohenlohe will only partake in de-
bates on specially important occasions.
Respecting the snii-revoutionary legis-
lation. it is understood that this will be
carried out on the moderate lines upon
which Caprivi and the Emperor agreed.
The North German Gazette this afternoon
published the terms of the anti-reyolu-
tionary bill. After the details of the
treasure have been settled upon the i'm
perial sanction will be asked to submit the
matter to the Bundesrath in the form of a
Government BILL The main feature of the
measure is adding passage TO the third
paragraph of the criminal code, by which
melting public opinion is made punishable
as crime. The proposed paragraph
directed against excuses of the press is
stricken Out. 1t is questionable, however.
If even this moderate bill will pass the
present Reichstag. The Vorwaerts, organ
of the socialists, claims that the bill will
be defeated by vote of 2i0 to 40, count
ing the Centrists in the opposition.
1t is quite certain that Hohenlobe will
inaugurats a holder and more active
colonial policy and the projected es alb
lishment of a distinct colonial Office is the
first evidence of this intention. The
Agrarian policy of Caprivi will also be re-
versed aud the future policy of the Gov
eminent will be to foster Agrarian inter-
es is, thus winning the support of that dis
satisfied party In the whole of East and
Northeast Prussia. According to an ex-
cellent authority the imports of American
food stuffs especially will be hindered as
much as the treaties permit The proni-
bition against the admission of American
cattle is clearly sop TO the Agrarians,
Emperor William has not tagged in his
ceaseless energy during the past week.
Besides taking most decisive share in the
readiustment IN the political affairs on
account of the ministerial crisis, he re-
ceived daily reports from the military
chiefs and has dined and lunched several
times with Chancellor Hohenlohe and
Prince Hohehlohe-LaD He has
also devoted much attention to the Crown
Prince of Sweden and unveiled the statue
erected in honor of his 0he Emperor's)
grandfather, William /, at StettIn. His
Majesty also presided at the extraordi-
nary SoSSfOu VI tuo ReueTdI syuOu ana mas
attended to innumerable minor matters.
A young American doctor named INITIAL,
formerly professor at the Johns Hopkins
University at Baltimore, Nd, who for the
past two years has been studying in this
city, has advanced a claim to being the
real discoverer OF diphiheria serum, of
which DR.. Behring is considered to be the
discoverer. DIR. INITIAL declares that be
discovered the properties of the serum
while studying in DR.. Behring's labora-
tory, and he asserts that in his graduating
thesis at the university before DR.. Behri0g
made public his statements he gave clearly
ana succlnctly the same things that Dir.
behrlng subsequently gave to the medical
congress at Buda Pesth in fuller form.
