Berlin oct. 27.-Prince Won Hohenlohe- -Schil-
vngsfirst, Governor of Alsace-Iorraine as the
result of his conference with the Emperor at
potsdam. has accepted the appointment Of
chancellor to succeed General Won Caprivi and
also the portfolio OF President Of the Prussian
Council Of Ministers. vacated by the resigna-
ton of Count Botho zu Eulenburg
Prince Won Hohenlohe. accompanied by Herr
Won Koeer, Under Secretary of the Interior for
Asace-Lorraine, arrived at Potsdam from Stras-
bprg this morning. The Prince was met at the
railway station by the Emperor, and the two
drove 10 the New Palace in an open carriage
In second carriage were Herr Won Koeller and
Lieutenant Colonel Won Moltke, of the En-
peror's staff. At the palace the Kaiser and
Prince Hoher ohe had conference in regard to
the Ministerial situation.
The Emperor's prolonged conference with
Prince Hohonohe. General Count Won Wal
dersee and Dr MIGUEL kept the excitement at
fever heat. At O'Clock this afternoon it was
announced that Prince Hohenohe had waived his
objections on account of age. and had consented
10 accept the Chancellorship and tho Prussan
Premiership. Baron Won Koeller's appointment
10 be Prussian Minister Of the Interior was made
known at the same time.
TWO OTHER MINISTER'S TO RETIRE.
At o'clock it was reported that Freiherr
Marschall Won Bieberstein. Secretary of state
for Foreign Affairs. had resigned. and that Or
Won Boetticher. Secretary Of the Interior. was
about to follow. Won Bjeberstein is cordially
hated by the high-tariff Conservatives because
he ably supported Caprivi in the struggle TO pass
the Russian reciprocity treaty. Boetticher is
most unpopular among the Bismarckian Con-
servatves because he old Chancellor has de-
nounced him repeatedly for deceit and intrigue.
The first impression produced by these reports is
that there is 70 be a clean sweep of Ministers
dstasteful to the Conservatives. Count Philip
zuf Eulenburg. German Ambassador 10 Austria
Hungary and Herr Won Radowitz. German Am
bassador to Spain. mentioned possible
successors 70 Won Bieberstein. Dr. Nasse Is
said have been asked to take Boetticher's
place
The Governorshp Of Alsace Lorraine has been
rendered a consolation office to General Count
Won Waldersee. Chancellor Won Caprivi paid his
farewell call 10 the Ambassadors this afternoon,
and started for Switzerland this evening.
The dramatic collapse of the Ministry was fol-
lowed by such scurry!ng to and fro as the
