rumors cs a cabinet crisis and TIE

and statements have been published on
the subject. The correspondent of the
Associated Press here learns ON re-
liable authority that the facts in the
case are as follows:
The resignation of the imperial chan
cellor Prince Hohenlohe and the min
ister for foreign affairs, Baron Mar
schall Won Bieberstein, have been in
the hands of the emperor for weeks.
out no action has vet been take. ON
Wednesday his majesty had q long con-
versation with Prince Hohenlohe. and
later he received Baron MarschalI Won
belberstein. Upon this occasion. the
foreign, domestic and political situation
was discussed The international
troubles, the Prussian law associations
ana the military and tariff bills were
discussed. but no agreement was
reached. The emperor also spoke of
the determined opposition TO the policy
OF Baron Marschall Won Bjeberstein
upon the part of the Agrarians. the
Conservatives and even the National
Liberals, and quoted the INTERPRETATION
q the government on the subject of
the Dingley bill, in support of his re-
marks.
Just for the moment it is certain that
the present cabinet will retain their
posts. Both Prince Hohenlohe and
Baron MarschaH Won Bieberstein viii

HoHENLOHE's SUCCESS.
The statement made in several Ger
man newspapers that General Count
Won Waidersee, the ministary governor
of Berlin, is the coming man, and That
he has already worked out the pro
sramme for his future administration,
Whicn has been approved by the en-
oeror, is pure fiction. His majesty. thus |
tar, has not offered the characteristic |
TO any one, but in case of Prince Ho- |
nenlohe, who is thoroughly tired of Of |
Ice, actually leaves his post, his most |
likely successor is Count Philip Zu Eul- |
anberg, the German ambassador at |
Vienna. Won Waldersee was pushed |
or office by the Prince Bismarck on
position, but he has no chance what
EVER.
TARIFF WAR URGED.
The Dingley bill debate in the reich
stag has attracted much attention
throughout the empire, and the news
'apers are full of it. The whole Agrar-
an party still urges the government to
leclare tariff war against the United
states, before or Immediately after the
)ingley bill becomes a law. Even a
portion of the industrial
lasses of Germany favor such a plan
he government has received a memoir
al from the chamber of commerce of
)ussendorf, Crefeld. AK Ia Chapelle
nd Mayence, protesting against the
)lngley bill and urging retaliation. The
oVernment, however, will not yield to
his pressure, especially as it is doubt
I'll whether the reichstag will sanction
UGH violent policy. the center thus
ar being non committal and the Lib
rails. Radicals and Socialists being OPP
osed TO any tariff war with the Unit
d States. This fact, however, adds
resh fuel to the Agrarians' keen hos
lity to the present cabinet, and es-
ecially TO their hostility against
'aron Marshall Won Bieberstein, and
hey are using all their means to hasten
ne fall of the latter, though the en-
error and Prince Hohenlohe support
i'm.
