Berlin, Nov. 10.-ECopyrighted, 1894,
by the Associated Press.l-Now that the
dazzling effect made by Emperor Will
liam's lightning change" solution of
the ministerial crisis is clearing away,
and the people are taking a clearer
view of the situation in all its bear
ings, two distinct feelings are becoming
manifeSt-one of uneaSineSS among
politicians generally respecting the
stability of German home policy, which
there is now little doubt will be con-
siderably modified by the advent Of
Prince Nehenlohe, the new chancellor;
and the other feeling of anxiety open
ly expressed by the mouth-pieces OF the
Liberal party at the autocratlc attl-
tude which the emperor assumed in set
Ting the difficulty. His action was
certainly not more arbitrary than upon
the occasion of the downfall of Prince
Bismarck from power, but the German
people hardly expected to witness a
repetition of that incident within so
compare lively short a period.
The National Zeitung gives emphatic
expression to this misgiving, and de-
clares the solidity of the Prussian cab
met must be re-eStabllShed IL coHii-
dence is to be restored.
The radical organs are even more
outspoken. The Boersen Courier re-
minds it's readers that two chancellors,
four imperial secretaries of state and
fifteen Prussian ministers have been
used up in little more than six years.
Confidence Weakened.
The Grenzeboten says: CLEARLY, con-
fidence in the stability of the vital
princes of the government has been
weakened by recent events.
The newspaper quoted then calls
upon the German nation to make
firm stand in defense of its constitu-
tional rights.
The most striking utterance, how
ever, comes in the Zulkunft, which, IN
an article printed today on the en-
perors autocratic tendency, makes a
rather daring comparison between EN-
peror William and Charles L. OF Eng
land, who was forever demanding eX-
plicit and unreasoning confidence of his
subjects, with what result to himself
can readily be recalled.
The Zukunft remarks: Matters have
come to such a pass in the German
empire that the most weighty decisions
depend upon accidents, and on the COM
pany the emperor chooses to keep, and
on the manner his encourage represent
things to him. The citizens themselves,
who preserve and protect this German
empire and maintain the army and the
court, are expected to rest content, hold
their tongues and be always assured
that the we'll qualified authorities are
safeguarding their welfore. This ia
asking too much"
On Dangerous Ground.
Such outspoken remarks are rarely
ventured in the German public press,
and the Zukunft is. treading upon such
dangerous ground that it is likely soon
to find itself in trouble with the author
tiles. It's utterance nevertheless, truly
voices the feeling of misgiving among
a large and iberal-minded section of
the German public, however, and is
more easily discerned in the states
outside of Prussia. Indeed, the ema
peror has been forced into a realization
of the dangers of the present situation
by remonstrances addressed to him from
Bavaria, Baden and Wurtemburg re-
garding Caprivi's dismissal and the
general instability of the government.
Changes Imminent.
Prince Hohenlohe had an audience
with the prince regent of Bavaria at
Munich on Thursday last, but the re-
suit of this interview is not known up
TO the present moment. The feeling of
apprehension respecting the stability
Of the home policy of Germany is amply
justified by the ministerial changes
which everybody now agrees to be i'm
mlnent. Prince Hohenlohe, as stated
IN previous dispatches to the Associated
Press, is determined that every mem
Der of the cabinet shall be in entire
harmony with his views. Besides the
important changes already known. IT
is announced today that DIR. Karl Won
Beettlcher, imperial secretary of state
for the interior, and vice-president of
the Prussian council of ministers. has
rendered his resignation, but up to the
time this dispatch is filed the resigna-
ton had not been accepted by the
emperor. The half-hearted denial of
this statement only tends to confirm it
and an official announcement to the
effect that DR.. Won Beetticher has
resigned is expected within few days.
He is Independent.
The independence of the new chan
cellor is a matter of common know
ledge, and he has more than once
shown disposition to assert his a.u-
thority to the utmost. This determin-
alton to have his own way, however
is just what is regarded as the ele
prince will brook no rebuff, and un-
less the emperor fully acquiesces in his
views as to the composition of the two
cabinets and in regard to important
questions of policy, there will be an
other ministerial crisis right off. Fears
of tine latter eventually will be ever
present in the public mind, for it is
regarded as doubtful whether two such
strong wills can work in harmony for
any length of time.
The postponement of the opening of
the reichstag from Nov. Is to Dec. Is
is due to Prince Hohenlohe's intention
of the imperial and Prussian cabinets
before commencing legislative work
The agrarians will cause Prince Ho-
henlohe a great deal of veXation.
The National Federation of Agricul-
turalists has formed an organization
to regulate trade in cereals. which is
merely a cloak for agitation in favor of
the exclusion of foreign breadstuff.
Committees have already been appoint
ed to operate in the diet and the reich
stag, and the success of their efforts
means the restriction of American i'm
ports.
Emperor William, during the week,
joined hunting party at the shooting
lodge of Grunewald, on the lake and in
the forest of the same name.
His majesty dined twice with Prince
Hohenlohe, and gave audiences to
Count Botl1o Zu Gutenberg and the
Count Philip Zu Eulenburg, German
ambassador to Vienna.
Prince Hohenlohe, who is one of the
wealthiest men in Germany, is negotia-
ting for the purchase of the Chateau
Fantasia, near Bayreuth, where Miss
