PRESS DOES NOT APPROVE.

BERLIN, July 3.-The cabinet crisis
which has been dragging for weeks has
reached another stage, hardly less Curl
Gus than the previous one. 1t is be-
lieved in political circles that Baron
Won Bulow, if he shows the necessary
capacity and ability to secure the sup
port Of a majority of the diet and the
reichstag, will be Prince Hohenlohe's
successor, the post of foreign secretary
in that case going to Count Won Kid
erlen-Wachter the emperor's favorite
and the present German minister at
Copenhagen. The Vossische Zeitung
advanced LiberaD compares the con-
ditions here with those prevailing in
Turkey and Russia, saying that lin
Turkey pasha is today finance min
lister, tomorrow a general and the day
after minister for foreign affairs. The
same is with us today"
One Of the most curious features of
the present situation is that Prince
Hohenlohe refused point blank to
countersign the appointment of Gen.
Podbielsky as the successor of the late
Dr. stephen as imperial postmaster,
and left Berlin for his estate in a hur-
ry. On the other hand, it is reported
In official and court circles that the
emperor will visit Prince Hohenlohe
at Schillingfuerst later in the summer
The visit Of Prince Hohenlohe and
Baron Bulow simultaneously to Prince
Bismarck is taken as an indication of
another reconciliation, and the whole
or the Bismarck press is writing in
tone OF satisfaction on recent events,
claiming that the old Bismarck force
of politics, especially foreign politics,
and the repressive measures against
socialism will be renewed. 1t is GER
tain, however, that the whole situation
has not been cleared up, and additional
surprises may be expected at any hour.
The letter which emperor William
addressed to DR.. Won Boetticher the
retiring vice president of the coun-
Gil of ministers and minister of the in
terror, is taken to indicate that his
majesty proposes to make DR.. Won
Boetticher president Of a Prussian
province, probably Hanover. 1t is ru-
mored that Won Wedel, the former
German minister at Stockholm, will
| succeed Baron Won Bulow as minister
at Rome. 1t is stated that Count Will
helm Bismarck, president of East
Prussia, will be transferred to the
presidency of Schlesswig-H olstein ard
that he will be succeeded in his pres
ent office by DR.. Won Koeller.
The Bundesrath has again rejected
the resolution passed by the rechstag
by an overwhelming majority to grant
per diems to delegates, this being the
fifth rejection.
The naval bill being prepared by
Admiral Won Tirpitz, the new secre-
tary of the navy, provides for loan
of $4,000, 900 marks, of which 10000, 900
marks is to be devoted to the cor
struction of battleships and $4,000, 00D
marks for building ironclad cruisers
The bill will be presented to the reich
stag in the fall.
There have been an unusual number
of accidents and deaths from sun
stroke at the army maneuvers anu
field exercises at various points, owing
to the intense heat of the past week.
AT the inspection parade of the Fourth
infantry brigade of guards fifty men
belonging to one regiment were sun
struck, thirty-two were disabled on
similar occasion at Stettin, forty
three collapsed at Mayence, seven
teen when overcome at Posen and nine
teen were sunStruck al Bomberg. Many
of the sufferers subsequently died.
