that the Minister of Commerce, Freiherr
Won Berlepsch, is about to resign and that
he will be succeeded by Herr Studt, Gov
ernor of Westphalia. 1t is also stated that
Freiherr Marshal Won Bieberstein, the
Imperial Secretary of State for Foreign At
fairs and Minister of State, has the same
intentions, and Count Won Hatsfeldt-Wild-
enberg, the German ambassador at London,
Is spoken of as his successor. The position
of DR.. Carl Won Boetticher, Vice President
of the Prussian Council of Ministers and
Imperial Secretary of State for the In
terror, Is also declared to be shaken. These
designations, in view of what is credibly
affirmed to have occurred at a Cabinet
council early this week, need not cause sur
prise. During the debate on the anti-revolu-
ton bill In. the Reichstag, on Tuesday,
Prince Hohenlohe presided at a meeting of
the ministry and the question of dissolving
the Reichstag was, for the first line openly
discussed at the instance of the Chancel-
lor. DR.. Won Boetticker who, like Freiherr
Won Bieberstein, has, thus far, not lifted
up a finger In behalf of the passing OF the
bill, declared that Ii was his conviction that
the measure, In Its present shape, was sure
Of being defeated In the Reichstag. Freiherr
Won Biebersteln expressed the same opin-

support OF the Centrists In the attempt TO
pass the measure will only be given IL the
government comedies their demands, not
ably, the return OF the Jesuits to Germany,
and after important notifications have been
made In the bill itself.
