Berlin, May 26.-The return of the en-
peror TO Potsdam on Friday from his sea-
son of deer stalking At Proekelwitz caused
the revival of last weeks rumors that a
cabinet crisis was imminent. 1t was un-
derstood, of course, that whatever minis
terial changes might be impending moth
ing could be done while the emperor was
away but since his return reports are
rife that Chancellor Won Hohenlohe and
Herr Won Koeller, Prussian minister of
the interior, will soon be displaced, Count
Won Waldersee becoming chancellor. With
these changes it is reported that the gov
ernment will inaugurate new programme
involving a sharp repression of public
liberty and reaction against universal
suffrage. These reports. however. arise
solely from the general expectation that
something is about to happen and the re-
tirements and appointments indicated
seem to be the most likely of any move
ment that the kaiser would embark in as
a measure of reprisal for the defeat Of
the anti-revolution bill.

firms that Herr Won Koeller's retirement

are declared to be at least premature,

dealing personally with public affairs, as
it is known that he was constantly in
friendly communication with Chancellor
Won Hohenlohe, and this fact impels the
latters' encourage to ridicule the stories
of his impending downfall. The reports in
regard to Herr Won Koeller, however. are
based upon different grounds from those
forming the basis of Prince Hohenlohe's
case. and it is the general opinion in well
informed circles that Herr Won Koeller
will not meet the Reichstag at the OPEN
ing of the autumn session in the capacity
of minister of the interior. Foreign af-
fairs, and especially diplomatic changes
in the embassy at Vienna, have particu-
iarly engaged the attention of the kaiser
during the absence of Count Won Eulen-
burg the German ambassador to Aus
tria, who was summoned from Vienna to
Porekelwitz, where he remained three
days in consultation with the kaiser. 1t
is understood that the emperor
was disagreeably surprised at the
appointment of Count Koluchowski as
Austrian prime minister and so expressed
himself, and it is also understood that
the assurances of Emperor Francis Joseph
that the retirement of Count Kalnoky
would not cause any alteration in the re-
lations of the parties to the Dreibund,
has not had the effect to remove the Off
cial regret that Count Koluchowski was
named Count Kalnoky's successor. AM
other new figure has made an appearance
in the field of diplomacy in the person of
Count Peter Kapnst, the successor of
Prince Lobanoff- -Rostowski as Russian am
bassador to Vienna, who presented his
credentials to Emperor Francis Joseph
on Friday. Count Kapnist served eight
years as secretary of the Russian embassy
in Paris, while Count Koluchowski was
there, and during that time the two be-
longed to the same social clique in the
French capital. Count Kapnist married
the German Countess Steinboch-Fermoor
but this alliance did not make him any
more pro-German, as he was and still is
a well-known supporter of the Russo
french entente. Count Won Euenburg
