dIIdlrS ana even that of Herr Won Luce
Ius, the chief OF the imperial civil CABINET

Widespread court intrigue to get md OF
the ministers who are distasteful to the
agrarians, conservatives and military
parties nave come to the surface recent-
~. Herr Won koeller is, apparently, the
minister who is the most threatened.
The emperor, it is stated, is diSpleased at
the recent maladroit prosecutions for
lese majestic, especially The case OF Prof.
Del Bruack, which were ordered by Herr
Won hoeiler. The cabinet itself, more
over, Is divided respecting the expediency
OF the extreme anti-socialist measures
adopted by the police, and nobody would
be astonished to hear OF a ministerial up
heaval.

been made upon the clubs and residences
of socialists in Berlin and other towns,
and about a score of the leading socialists
are to be prosecuted.
The closing of the big socialist club on
Friday, however, has caused the greatest
fiutter in socialist circles, and the matter
will be brought before the reichstag,
when exciting debates are expected.

remain defiant and the NoerWarts, the
organ of the party, prints an lron4cal arel-
Gle, advising Herr Won koeller to con-
tinue the prosecutions, claiming that 1t
stronger and more harmonious, ana citing
the results of the era of TesSendorf, our
ing which the socialist party sextupleId.
The Reichstag.
The reopening of the reichstag on
Tuesday next will be without special
brilliancy. The nature of all the govern

no surprises during the session, though
it is expected to be a stormy one, on
account of the introduction of eXtran-

prosecutions and the Hamm6rstein let
ters, and they are sure to lead to heated
discussions.
