siye chancellor regime as il existed during
Capriyi's tenure of office. is now a gener-
ally accepted fact Every indication Is
that Hoheniohe is determined to
have things his ovn Why. and the
emperor, apparently, is inclined to
give him a free hand In fact. there is a
strong reminder of Bismarckian times.
Hoheniohe, and not the emperor. is re-
garded rs the man who will pull the
strings in Germany's domestic and foreign
policy. Newspapers of all shades Cf
opinion do not tire of occupying them
selves with everything connected with the
new chancellor, and every fact. even the
most trifling. is read with avidity through
out Germany.
One article, written by Prof. Geffcken
and bearing upon the new chancellor, has
attracted a great deal of attention. He
adeuces evidence 10 show that Bismarck.
and not Hohenlohe, was responsible for
the vexatious passport regulations in
Alcase-Lorraine, and that it was due 20
the personal intervention of Hohenlohs
that alter the elections there in 1877,
which were so unfavorable TO the govern
ment, the constitution was not suspended
ard the reichsland again governed from
Gehcken that Hohenlohe's past is not
as black as it has been painted in some
quarters comes very opporiunely. in view
of the striking manner in which the
prince has been received on his return TO
Strasburg for q short stay. in order to
settle the affairs of his administration
completely in order for his successor.
Hohenlohe has been the recipient of many
manifestations of regret at his leaving his
post, from various parts of the two prov
inces. The prince will be presented
with farewell address tomorrow
by the Strasburg university, and at
the same time an honorary diploma
will be conferred upon him. These cere-
monies will be followed by torchlight
procession, arranged bv the inhabitants of
Strasburg. The demonstrations of the
people of Strssburg and of Alsace-Lorraine
in general afford clear testimony of the
esteem and respect IN which Hohenlohe is
held by the Inhabitants of the two prov
inces he has governed. and disprove the
assertions that his rule has been unduiy
severe. Hohenlohe will not return to
Berlin until Wednesday next, and until
then several weighty questions will re-
main in abeyance.
In Prussian political circles much talk
continues concerning the composition of
the Prussian ministry, which, it is re-
marked in many quarters with deal of
truth, contains only three native Prus-
siaus, four of the ministers being Hano-
verians, the remaining members being
Badenese, q Mecklenburger. Bavarian
and Hessian. The new minister of JUS
tice, DIR. Schoenstedt, is, like Prince
Hohenlohe, a Catholic. and this has
aroused anger among the strict Portest-
ants of the Kreus Zeitang stripe.
1t is stated that Emperor William is
working on a one-act opera. the libretto of
which is based upon German mythology.
The work is described as being in the
Wagnerian style, and 10 said to be almost
completed. 1t will be performed for the
first time at the royal palace. In connec-
ton with this newest evidence of the en-
perors prediction for Northern mythol-
ogy, 1t is announced that the Iceland
ers, encouraged by his majesty's
musical efforts In this direction,
are preparing an address and invitation 20
the emperor to visit Iceland, which is so
rich in NEUROLOGICAL traditions. The
emperor's acceptance of this invitation.
to the absence of telegraphic communica-
ton between Iceland and the rest of the
world. Emperor William is going to take
part in the court hunting party at Len
tieuengen next Thursday.
The marked attention which Emperor
William paid Marshal Bieberstein. the i'm
periai secretary OF state for foreign affairs.
to Herr Hammerstein, the new Prnssian
minister OF agriculture. and especially to
the Eulen oergs, st the ceremony OF swear
ing in the recruits at Potsdam on Wednes-
day, has caused some comment, and the
rumor is now circulating that the Prussian
ex-premier, Count Botho Gutenberg. will
soon be offered another high office.
The leading merchants of Berlin have
addressed O long communication to the
chancellor protesting against the main
paragraphs Of the bourse reform bill
drafted by the government, which is TO be
introduced in the reichsiag. The bill
aims particulnriy at the virtual extinction
OF transactions in futures on the German
bourses. The measure was drafted with
out having been referred 10 the various
boursss OF Berlin, Frankfort and Leipsic.
and some OF IT'S features are felt 10 be in
furious and calculated 10 restrict enter
prise.
Great preparations are being made for
the national celebration of Prince Bis
marck's S0th birthday anniversary. which
occurs on April ] next. On the initiative
of the Berlin university, the students Of
Strasburg. Marburg, Goettingen and kiel
