Berlin. Sept. 21.-(Copyright, 1895, By
the Associated Press -Semi-oih de-
mails that the change in the imperial
cbancellorship is impending are accepted
as settling for the present the question
of Emperor Williams intention of dis
nlacing Prince Hohenlohe. The fact
must not be forgotten, however, that the
agitation against Prince Hohenlohe pro
ceeds from the same quarters ana Is
prosecuted upon the same lines, sighin
cantly enough, under almost preclsely
the same circumstances as the ASitatioh
which preceded the fall OF Count Vol
Caprivi. ,.,.o
whether Emperor Williams return from
shooting at Romainten was the sigma
for another change in the chancellorship,
such as followed his return from Coun,
Won Eulenberg's estate last year.
Prince Hohenlohe has returned from
his long vacation looking much stoutel
and more robust than he did last winter
The other ministers are also returning
to Berlin one by one. The Dundesrath
will reassemble early in October, when
the question of dealing with the Social
lists and other difficult subjects which
will come up for consideration. In view
of inevitable complications 1t is not safe
to count much longer upon the duration
of the present regime. There is little
doubt of the truth Of the Voerwaerts
declaration that Prince HOhenl ohe is
merely acting as warming pan for some
young statesman, and one more in accord
with the emperOr's views, who will be
n,,no % ouooaaJ hin, in tho Gprmnn cha H.
cellorship. -.
Germany's foreign policy, so far as it
has been directed or Influenced by Herr
Won Bieberstein, has not been satisfac-
tory to Emperor William for some time.
II is rumored that the emperor's fire.
uuent travelling companion and intimate
of late, Baron Widerlen Waechter,
whom he decorated with the grand cross
of the iron crown after the Stettin
maneuvres last week, is destined to sue
coed Won Bieberstein In the Office of
minister of foreign affairs.
Although Baron Won Hammerstein,
the fugitive ex-chief editor of the Kreus
Zeitung, might be extradited from Eng
land and brought here under existing
treaties, and in spite of the evidence of
fraud which the directors of the Kreus
Zeitung have placed in the hands of the
public prosecutor. the baron continues to
instigate the public with compromising
letters written by leaders of the Con-
servative party to personages in high posi-
ton. 1t is announced that so of these
letters, containing startling facts, are
about to be issued in pamphlet form. 1t
is understood that the contents of these
relate chiefly to illicit love affairs of the
baron and to his financial speculations,
but they are regarded as politically inn
portant as showing that leaders of the
Conservative party were cognizant of the
intrigues. 1t is said that Baron Ham
mertsein has not yet resigned from the
diet and reichstag, both bodies of which
he was member.
The favorite residence at Babelsburg
of Emperor William / has become the
residence of Grown Prince William, who
has now his court and retinue there.
Veterans of the Franco-Prussian war.
who have been visiting the battle fields,
were entertained on Tuesday by the Vet
Grams association of Strasburg.
Among the Is pending cases of Ger
man-Americans visiting the fatherland
who got into trouble on account of hay
ing evaded military service and who
sought the aid of the American ambassa-
dor, the most interesting is that of DR..
]. Sievers of Chicago, who came to see
his parents and to finish his medical
studies at Itszhoe, Holstein. The decree
of expulsion in his case, which expired
on September 1, was suspended on ap-
peal of Mr.. Runyon. the United States
ambassador to Germany, for investiga~
ton. 1t has now been decided that DR..
Sievers must quit Prussian territory by
November, but he will be permitted to
complete his studies in some non-rrus-
sian university in Germany.
