CLIQUE WORKING 1Ns1p1oUsLY

beliiu, DeCtIHDeT ol-fTUM all lHSlue source it is learned that another cabinet crisis is approaching. For some time there have been serious differences of opinion be- tween Emperor William and the imperial chancellor, Prince Hohenohe. In two in- stances the question of the highest military court and the Lippe-Detmold succession case his majesty yielded to some extent to the views of Prince Hohenlohe. This, how ever, was done more because of the em- peror's affection for the aged chancellor, whom he calls "Uncle'' in private conversa- ton and addresses him by the affectionate du (thou) than because Prince Hohenlohes views convinced him.
 In several other equally important mat ters the princes intentions have been over ridden by the emperor, and part of the cabinet more especially by Dr. Miquel, the vice-presdent of the council of ministers and minister of finance, the anti-strike bill, the refusal to sanction the bill to extend the right of political association and the expulsions of Danes and Austrians from Germany being instances of this.
 Expulsion of Danes
 Prince Hohenlohe particularly disapprov- ed of the expulsion of Danes from north Schleswig as barbarous, impolitic and use- less; but they were approved by the em- peror, and the chancellor, although he has taken pains not to show approval of these ruthless measures, has yielded thus far to his majesty's views.
 The consequences of these ceaseless ex- pulsions, which were still continued this week, have been to greatly embarrass him. especially in the case of German relations with Austria, and induced the chancellor to address the emperor long autograph let ter this week, setting forth in detail the !, reasons why he disapproves of the ex- pulsions, and why, if the home and foreign policy he has hitherto followed in agree lment with Emperor William is still to be Ipursued it will be necessary to discontinue lthe expulsions. His majesty thus far has ot replied to this letter, but he is expected Ito do so verbally early next week or soon after Prince Hohenlohe's return to Berlin.
 Baron Von Koeller, the reactionary ex- minister of the interior and governor of lchleswig- -Holstein, is mainly responsible ior the system of expulsions.
 HohenIohe's Bitter Enemy
 He is a bitter enemy of Prince Hohenlohe, 10 whom he attributes his downfall couple If years ago. The situation thus created is Ine in which the chancellor considers he lannot with self-respect father the policy bf the emperor unless the emperor himself balls a halt.which the people surrounding him \ Q not believe he will do. There is per- feet clique working insidiously with the Jim of rendering the situation more acute hnd forcing Prince Hohenlohe's retirement when they believe an out and out reaction dry cabinet will be formed, with the reap bearance of Baron Von Zedlitz in high po- sitioA after a disappearance from public fife during seven years past, and at the de- hand of his majesty. It is adduced in sup bort of this belief that government cir f,les will give as an explanation of the en- tperors concurrence in Baron Won Koel- ier's wholesale expulsions in North Sches- Iwig that the political situation there has Sbeen for some time much worse than is .publicly known, and that the network of pro-Danish conspiracy had to be forcbly up- rooted in order to guarantee the security bf the country, and it is further asserted tthat the Prussian government in reply to lan interpolation early in the session of the lPrussian diet will advance evidence of this conspiracy.
 situation Was Harmless
 But in spite of this. all private and news jpaper reports and individual reports agree sln pointing out that the situation prior to Expulsion was harmless.
 X Two well-known Berlin export firms have sent an open letter to their Danish clients awhichfllustrates the feeling of the commer- fcial classes here. The letter says:
