ALL GERMANY STILL EXPECTING
Developments IN THE VERY
NEAR FUTURE.
HoHENLOHE Is TIRED OF OFFICE.
Chancellor More Anxious Than Ever
to BE Permitted to Retire to
Private Life.

! Friday in the mutilated form adopted
by the lower house, but with an addi-
| ton TO the effect that associations, in
| which there are anarchistic or Social
Democracy movements, or movements
| aiming to overthrow the existing or
CARNATIONS of the state or society, or
movements preparatory to a separation
Of part Of the territory Of the state
from the whole, in a manner dangerous
to public security, may be dissolved by
the police.
The diet is almost certain to pass the
Dill in this form, which is more conso-
nant with the wishes Of the govern
ment, which desires a measure repress-
ing all opposition meetings and all op-
position agitation, but there is no
chance of the reichstag agreeing to the
measure in its amended form.
1t was interesting to note the crop
| ping out Of the deep-seated animosity
! between the two bodies, the reichstag
and diet. In the diet Baron Won Zed-
Htz, the Conservative leader, referred
amid applause to the misguided. blind
ed majority Of the reichstag," and
speakers in the reichstag repaid the
attack in kind. Herr Richter, the Rad
zeal leader, spoke in scathing terms of
the almost permanent cabinet crisis. -
He said DR.. MIGUEL is to be virtually
the new chancellor, adding: What
does he believe in? We ought to in
Vlte him to appear before US and di-
Vulge' his programme. 1t is not enough
for US to know the ideas of the June
government; we ought to know also
those Of the July government AS to
the autumn government nobody knows
anything about it." This sally was re-
ceived with great applause by the
members of the Left.
In government, parliamentary and
press circles the conviction continues
That cabinet changes are impending ex-
! actly as previously cabled to the Asso-
clated Press, namely, that Dr. MIGUEL,
| the minister Of finance, will succeed
DR.. Won Boetticher as vice president of
the council Of ministers and imperial
secretary of state for the interior, with
increased prerogatives and functions,
not only in the Prussian, but in the i'm
| perial cabinet,
! CABINET CHANGES.
| Prince Holenlohe will retain the chan
cellorship, although he is anxious TO
retire to private life, DR.. MIGUEL taking
| most Of the burden Of the office upon
himself. DR.. MiquePs sphere of duty
! Will also be enlarged by creating for
! MN the office of chancellor Of eXchequer
| with similar scope and influence to the
! british chancellor of the excheulleI.
! Baron MarScha1 Won Bieberstein, the
minister for foreign affairs, will remain
IN Office for while longer, it being
understood that his portfolio has been

| German ambassador at Vienna. and to
Count Won Observation-Disclosures, the

The meeting of Emperor William and
King Leopold, of Belgium, at KieI. is
not entirely devoid of political signifi-
canoe. They will discuss the Congo
and other African problems touching
both Germany and Belgium, such as
the slave question. King Leopold will
invite the emperor to personally at
| tend the Brussels exposition.
BY rejecting the invitation of the
| Hamburg senate to attend the horticul-
tural show, and by avoiding Hamburg
territory on his present trip, Emperor
William testified his displeasure at the
recent failure to toast him at the ban
quet rendered to the members of the
| reichStag at Hamburg.
| A comical mistake of the emperor in
| a recent speech has been discovered
| Speaking at the unwilling of the monu-
ment to his grandfather at Cologne,
his majesty referred to Neptune with
| the trident" The symbol1cal figure on
the monument, however, was meant by
the sculptor to represent Father Rhine
and 1t has not a trident, but garlandad
vines and grapes where the trident
might have been.

summer naval maneuvers will resign
