BERLIN, July 3.-The Cabinet crisis
which has been dragging for weeks. has
reached another stage hardly less curious
than the previous one 1t is believed in pc
litical circles that Baron Won Bulow, if he
shows the necessary capacity and ability
to secure the support 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
Kidelein-Watcher, the Emperors favorite
and the present German minister at Copen-
hagen. The Vossische Zeitung advanced
LiberaD compares the conditions here with
those prevailing in Turkey and Russia, say
ing that lin Turkey a pasha is to-day a
finance minister, tomorrow general and
the day after minister for foreign affairs
the same as with us to-day"
One of the most curious features of the
present situation is that Prince Hohenlohe
and the Emperor have not agreed on the
subject. Prince Hohenlohe refused point
blank to countersgn the appointment of
General Podbielsky as the successor of the
late DR.. Stephen as imperial postmaster,
and left Berlin for his estate in q huff.
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 recon-
Citation, and the whole of the Bismarck
press is writing on the subject in tones of
satisfaction on recent events, claiming that
the old Bismarck force OF politics, especial
ly foreign politics and the repressive meas
ures against socialism, Will be resumed. Il
is certain, however, that the whole situa-
tlon has not been cleared up, and additional
surprises may be expected at any nour.
The letter which Emperor William ad-
dressed to DIR. Won BOetricher the retiring
vice president of the Council of Ministers
and minister of the interior, Is taken to in
dicate That his Majesty proposes TO make
DIR. Won BOettiCher president OF a frussian
province, probably hanover.
1t IS rumored that Won Wedel, the former
German minister at Stockholm, Will succeed
Baron Won BuloW as minister at Rome. 1t
is stated that Count Wilhelm Bismarck,
president of East Prussia, Will be trans
ferred to the presidency of SchleSWig-HOl
stein and that he will be succeeded in his
present office by Or. Won Koeller.
The Bundezrath has again rejected the
resolution passed by the Reichstag, by an
overwhelming majority, to grant per diems
TO delegates, this being the NTH rejection.
Prince Bismarck's health is good and he
has declined to follow the advice of his
The naval bill being prepared by Admiral
Won Tirpitz the new secretary of the navy,
provides for loan of 100000 900 marks, of
which 10000, 0G0 marks is to be devoted to
the construction OF battle ShipS and so 600 -
600 marks for building ironclad cruisers.
The bill will be presented to the. Reichstag
in the fall.
There has been an unusual number of
accidents from sunstroke at the army ma
neuvers and field exercises at various points
owing to the intense heat of the past week

At present the Emperor's plan is to return
from the northland trip about Aug and
start for ST. petersburg by sea about Aug
Z, accompanied by Prince HohenIohe and
Baron Won Bulow He will not visit the
Empress and his family at TageruSee Ba-
yaria, but there may be a brief meeting
further north. These arrangements may
however, be modified by further progress
of the ministerial crisis.

Royal Theater at Munich, who has made
