Berlin, Germany, May s.-The cabinel
crisis continues. The unbrokea series
OF parliamentary failures which the
various ministers are meeting with in
the reichstag as we'll as IN the diet have
shown the emperor that the cabinet
will not be able 10 accomplish any leg

lack ofinfiuence over the delegates and
the want OF cohesion among them imnis-

The emperor is still regretting the dis
dissal OF Baron Won Koeller. the Prus-
sian minister, of whom ne speaks Of be-
ing, at least, capable man. All the
present ministers have been discredited
by the country, Prince HohenIohe, ow-
ing 10 his physical inability 10 properly
represent the government and DR.. Won
Boetticher, imeprial minister for the
interior; Baron Won Berlepsch. minister
OF commerce; DR.. Schellendorff, minis
ter Of war, and DR.. Schoensteadt, minis
ter or Justice, owing 10 their inability
TO get the government measures adopt
ed. The present minister for the in
terror, Baron Won Der Reck Wonder
host, is no orator and is without parlia-
mentary experience, nor has he any

openly discussed at court and the pos
sible successors OF the ministers are
warmly argued over.
EMPEROR DTSGUSTED.
The emperor is greatly Disguised at
the defeat Of the school reform law in
the diet due to DR.. Bosses want OF skill.
and at the rejection Of the chambers OF
commerce bill, which was hard slap
al DR.. Won Boetticher and Baron Won
Berlepsch.
However. it is probable that the men,
bers Of the present cabinet will hold
their posts until the fall, as the sessions
of the diet and reichstag are drawing TO
a close, and the emperor has a well filed
program for the summer which will
keep him in Berlin for months. In
spite of this, 1t is borne in mind that
y
strongly 10 his encourage on the inabi-
lily of the cabinet and there is an i'm
preston in court circles that if the min
isterial failures continue he may lose his
patience and force the resignation OF
the whole cabinet.
THE DIVINE Discomfort.
Prince Bismarck, speaking to the
members of a delegation from Bremen
a few days ago, said: God has plant
ed discomfort in us as a spur, and we
must renounce the belief that general
state OF content will ever arise in this
world, either by social democracy or in
any other way. That is impossible.
We should become nothing but idle dogs
who would lie under PLAN trees and do
rothing but eat the dates which fell into
our mouths.
The rivers are rising throughout Ger
many. This is due to the heavy rains
of the past six weeks, which have caus-
edfloods in various parts Of the country.
The Elbe is fourteen feet above its nor
nal level at Dresden, and great dam
age is feared.
Baron Wissman, the explorer, is now
On his way home from East Africa,
with his health shattered by climatic
fevers, and IL is probable that he will
not return to his post. His recent mar
riage has made him a very wealthy
man. He will reside in a fine house
in the Grunewald.
There have been several cases Of mag
lignant small pOx in the emigration de-
dept at Spandau. All OF them have
been isolated.
The official report OF the Urban hos
pital Of Berlin shows that the new Dip
iberia treatment has had favorable
effect. In fact, there has not been a
case in which injurious consequences
have been recorded. The best results
were obtained by stronger initial injec-
tons than those at first employed.
GRAND DUKE IN PERIL
The blind grand duke OF Mecklen burg
Sterlitz had a narrow escape on Wed
nesday. He was being led over the
railroad at the Merchandising station
when his foot caught In the rails, and he
was unable to extricate IL. There was
at the time a heavy traffic on the road
owing to the horse fair, and several
trains were due 10 arrive. The engineer
Df a locomotive of another line saw the
grand dukes peril. rushed to his assist
ance, and at length succeeded in extri-
'ting him while the statiOnmaster ran
long the line waving his cap. stopping
two approaching trains in the nick OF
line.
