Minneapolis, Mimi, Dec. 9.-Harry
Hayward paced his narrow prison cell this
morning, while within 100 feet the carpen-
ters clattered boards and drove nails,
heralding to the restless wretch the fact
that his scaffold was in process of erec-
ton. The iron door between the cell room
and hanging court was closed, but this
did not prevent the mufied, but distinct
sounds of preparation from shifting the
ear. Harry had not been informed as to
the work but at the first sounds he said,
with a laugh to his guard: They're OFF.
He began to be moody in short time,
however, sitting down only to arise, with
a nervous movement and .muttering as
he walked: They can't hang me but
once, and 1 guess l can stand that.

KoELLER our OF THE MINISTRY.
The Emperor Accepts His Resisna-

The Emperor Accepts His Hesigna-
tion and Names His Successor.
Berlin, Dec. 9.-The emperor has accept
ed the resignation Of Herr Won Koeller,
the Prusian minister Of the interior, who
will be succeeded in office by Baron Won
der Recke Won der Horst, president OF
the province Of Dusseldorf. Herr Won
Koelier is permitted by the emperor to
retain the title of minister OF state ana
has also been decorated with the insignia
OF the order of the Red Eagle.
Baron Won der Recke Won der Horst, tho
newly appointed Prussian minister OF the
interior, Is a new man in politics and Is
not allied to any party in particular. He
has however, proved his capacity as a
purely administrative official. The change
in the ministry OF the interior does not i'm
ply any change in the policy Of the Kaiser,
which Is absolutely unmodihed. The gov
ernment VIII not discuss in the Reichstag
the question of the dissolution of the So
cialist unions, declining TO do so upon the
ground that il is wholly a Prusslan con-
cern.
The Reichsanzeiger, in Officially an
nOuncing the resignation of Herr Won
Koeller from the ministry OF the interior,
declares that IL Is not true that his re-
tirement was caused by differences be-
tween him and Gen. BronSart Won Scheli-
endOrf, imperial minister of war.
The North German Gazette, a semi-of-
fetal organ, denies the truth of the story
that Chancellor Won Hohenlche demanded
that Herr Won Koeller resign unless his
policy of socialist repression was modified.
