THE NEW GERMAN CHANCELLOR.
Official Announcement Made of the
Recent Change.


Count de Quadt, German charge DAFT
faires, received dispatch today from the
German foreign office, officially advising
him of the retirement of Prince Hohenlohe
from the chancellorship of the empire, and
of the appointment of Count Won Buelow as
chancellor and minister of foreign affairs
This is the first official announcement by
the German government, although it has
been clearly foreshadowed by the utter
ances Of the semi-official press Of Berlin
within the last few days In official and
diplomatic circles the change is one Of
great interest in it's personal aspects, in
volving the retirement of the venerable
Prince Hohenlohe, now over eighty years
old, and the accession Of Count Won Bue-
low, who, at the age of forty-two, was an
ambassador and now becomes the success
sor of Bismarck. 1t is the understanding
here that the family of Prince Hohenlone
has been solicitous of late that he retire
from the ChancellOrShip and obtain that
quiet which his advanced age demanded
The new chancellor has already had g.
notable career, first in the diplomatic SER
vice as minister at Bucharest, and later as
ambassador to Rome, then becoming minis
ter of foreign affairs. Following the Ger
man occupation of Kiao Chou, which oc-
CURED under his administration. the en-
peror conferred on him the rank and title
Of Count Won Buelow, which he now holds.
He has been such a guiding factor in Ger
manys foreign policy during recent years
that his elevation to the chancellorship is
not likely to bring about any change of
policy, but a carrying forward OF the lines
on which Germany has been proceeding Of
late years.

VICE CONSUL REED DEAD.
He Had an Enyiable Record in the
State Department.

He Had an Enviable Record in the
State Department.
The Department of State has received a
telegram Of the 18th instant from Mr.. Lay,
consul general Of this government at Bar
celona, advising it Of the death of Mr..
Dwight T. Reed who was appointed vice
consul of the United States at Madrid May
25, 1899. The previous employment of Mr..
Reed in the Department of State is as fol-
lows: Appointed a temporary clerk Octo-
ber /, 1867; class 1, April l, 1870; class 2,
June I, 1870; class 3, December p. 1870;
class T. July 1. 1874: appointed secretary of
legation at Madrid July 8. 1877; retired Sep
tember, 1882; appointed secretary Of lega-
ton and consul general at Madrid Febru-
ary o. 1888: appointed secretary of lega-
ton July 7. 1884; retired June, 1885.
Mr.. Reed was always regarded as man
of superior intelligence and left an en-
viable record behind him in the Department
of State. His appointment secretary of
legation at Madrid in 1877 was to effect a
transfer with Mr.. Adee, the present second
assistant secretary, who entered the De-
partment of State proper in that year.
Mr.. Reed visited the United States but
once after entering upon his diplomatic
duties at Madrid. After leaving the service
of the government in 1885 he entered that
of the Equitable Life Assurance Society,"
His duties vice consul did not interfere
with his connection with that society. He
married a Spanish lady, who, it is under
stood, survives him.

Talbot, Caroline and other counties there

a delegate to Chicago in 1885, and after the
Bryan Nebraska delegation was refused
admittance gave the peerless leader a
ticket to the convention. He is one of the
original free silverites, and was active in
1896 when the Smith-Moore people kept
quiet and sawed wood. But for the COVER
