A FREE HAND.
Chancellor HobsnIohe May Prove Man

in wagasrinn style.

an end, at any rate for a time, Of the
submissive chancellor regime as it ex-
listed during Caprivi's tenure Of Office
is now a generally accepted fact. Every
indication is that Hohenlohe is deter
mined TO have things his own way, and
the emperor apparently is inclined to
give him free hand. In TACT there is a
strong reminder Of Bismarckian times.
Hohenlohe and not the EN- peror is re-
garded as the men who will pull the
strings in Germany's domestic and for
eign policy and be the cynosure Of all
ewes. All newspapers OF all shades OF
opinion do not tire Of occupying them
selves with everything connected with
the new chancellor and every fact, even
the most triding, is read with avidity
throughout Germany.
NEW PRUssIAS MINISTRY.
In Prussian political circles much
heart-burning continues concerning the
composition OF the Prussian ministry,
which, it is remarked in many quarters
with good deal OF feeling, contains
only three native Prussians, four OF the
ministers being Hanoverians and the
four remaining members being Baden
ese, MeCklenDuTgsr, a BaVarjan and Il
Hesaian. The new minister OF justice,
DR.. Schoenstedt, like Prince HohenIohe,
is a Catholic, and this has aroused an
ger among the strict Protestants oil the
kreuZzeitung stripe.
EMPEROR AS COMPOSER.
1t is stated that Emperor William is
working upon one-act opera, the
libretto OF which is based upon German
mythology. The work is described as
being in the Wagnerian style, and it is
said to be almost completed. 1t will be
performed the first time at the royal
palace.
BoERsE REFORM BILL.
The leading merchants OF Berlin have
addressed long communication to the
chancellor, protesting against some OF
the main paragraphs OF the boerse re-
form bill, drafted by the government,
which ia to be introduced in the reich
stag. The bill aims particularly at the
virtual extinction of transactions in
futures on the German boerse. The
measure was drafted without having
been referred to the various boerses OF
Berlin, Frankfort and LEIPZIG, and some
oil its features are felt to be injurious
and calculated to restrict enterprise.
BIsMARcK's ANNIVERSARY.
Great preparations are being made
for the national celebration Of Prince
Bismarck's eightieth birthday, which
occurs on April l next. On the initia.
tive OF the Bonn University the students
of Strasbourg. Jeane, Marbourg. Goet-
trgen, and kiel universities have passed
resolutions TO present Prince Bismarck
with greatnational gift, and the other
German universities are expected TO
follow suit.
A large citizens committee has been
formed at Munich, aided by subcom-
mittee OF artists, to arrange public
ladies OF Breslau have decided to present
the prince with an address and speci-
men OF the industrial art OF Silesia. In
addition, this committee will collect
Bismarck fund, the interest OF which is
to be devoted to the benefit OF tho
province in manner to be decided upon
by Prince Bismarck. Innumerable il
Illustrated and other publications dealing
with his life will also appear upon the
great chancelIor's birthday.
Some stir has been created by the
arrest OF Herr LOuss, member OF the
reichstag, by order of the Court OF
Hanover, on the strength Of evidence
presented which apparently showed
that the deputy had been guilty OF per-
jury during a recent divorce trial in
which he was correspondent Leuss
was Stoecker's partner in founding tho
Volkszeitung, and he is now editor OF
the Post OF Hanover.
THE DREIBUND CRITICISED.
According to advices received hero
from Vienna, the feeling there is dis.
tinctly against any disposition OF tho
Dreibund to throw England over, as has
been suggested in some circles here. in
which the theory is advanced that Ger
many has nothing to gain by an en-
tente with England, who it ia claimed.
endeavors to thwart her in every direc-
ton where Germany policy clashes with
the British interests. The advocates OF
this theory also advise the cultivation
OF closer relations between Germany
and France.
An interview with leading Austrian
politician has been published which
gives the Austrian view OF this matter,
and it is distinctly favorable to tho con.
tinuance OF the best possible relations
between tho Drcibund and Great Bri-
tain. He points out that in the Balkan
question Great Britain has always sup
ported the Dreibund. while Italy has
received valuable assistance from Great
Britain, whose action on tho Italian
question has certainly been to the ad.
vantage OF the Breibund.
The Austrian politician also asserts
that the colonial policy OF Germany has
profted by the friendly attitude OF
Great Britain, and the treaty with
Zanzibar is cited as an instance. The
interview concluded with a warning
against driving Great Britain from the
arms Of the Driebund. which the Ger.
man policy in the recent Congo affair
was well calculated to do.
SENSATIONAL TRIAL
A case having unusually sensational
features is pending before the criminal
court Of Berlin. Herr Meyer Cohn,
now one OF tho weathiest bankers OF
Berlin, is charged with forging thirty
years ago the last will OF Moritz Fried.
