KA|SER'S PET IS DEAD.
SMALL CHANCE NOW TO HAVE HIS
CANAL SCHEME PUT
THROUGH
CLOSURE OF PRUssIAN DIET
DOES NOT NECESSARILY MEAN A
CHANGE IN GOVERNMENT
LEADERSHIP
CONSERVATIVES STILL ON TOP

BERLIN, May 4-Herr Theodore
Moter, who has been appointed minister
of commerce in succession to Herr Bre-
field, is a National Liberal of the right
wing and a Westphalian machine manu-
facturer. Whenever he has come in con-
tact with the emperor the latter has ex-
pressed liking for him.
Parliamentary circles have believed that
Count Zedlitz Truetschler president Of
Hesse-Nassau, was the personal choice
Of Emperor William for the Office Of
Prussian minister CT the interior, to sue
coed Baron Rheinbaben against Count
Won Buelows advice, because his majesty
hoped to effect through Won Zedlit2
changes in the present school system,
rendering it pronouncedly Christian and
intoxicating submission to the temporal
and spiritual authorities especially the
crown.
Herr Brefeld's going was rendered
necessary because his recent utterances
showed that though minister of commerce
his sympathies were elsewhere.
The events of the last few days have
proved a great sensation, but, upon closer
inspection they do not mean a change in
the system. It is quite certain that
neither Emperor William nor Count Won
Buelow have the slightest intention to
try to govern with the aid of the Liberals
the Radical left, nor to dissolve the
diet Whether the canal bill will reap
pear is uncertain, in spite Of the assur-
ances of a high official. In any case, the
bill is buried out of sight, for the time,
thus meeting the wishes Of the Conserva-
tives and Agrarian Centrists.
EREss COMMENT MODERATE.
The press comment from both parties Is
extremely cautious, not triumphant.
The Germania promises the Conserva,
tives the Centrum's aid, as heretofore,
since no government in Prussia is pos
sible without the Conservatives.
The Deutsche Tages Zeitupg, Post and
Kreuz Zeitung discreetly praise the gov
eminent for avoiding defeat on the canal
bill by closing the diet.
The Tageblatt regrets the closure be-
cause q number Of important bills are
thus undisposed Of.
The VorWaerts ironically congratulates
the Junker party ana Centrists upon the
skill displayed in fighting the canal bill
and forcing Emperor William thrice upon
his knees. 1t contrasts this with the I'M
slIillful attitude Of the Liberals and Radl-
calls and sarcastically quotes verbatim
Emperor Williams pro-canal declaration
Of Aug. II, 1859, in Dcrtmund. which 'the
supporters Of the crown and altar have
twice turned into a powerless boast.
The Vossische Zeitung believes the new
Prussian cabinet will be more homo
genOus than hitherto.
The papers all devote farewell articles
to DR.. Won MIGUEL, uniformly admitting
his great ability, especially financially
and enthusiastically, but they point out
that everybody had finally lost conf
dence in him because Of his extreme cum
ming and insincerity. Papers Of every
shade join in the chorus.
GOSSIP. OF RERTIN
The project to establish speedy COM
munication between Berlin and Hamburg
is steadily proceeding. The committee
handling the project is composed of capt.
talists and technical men. The pre-
liminary work is nearly finished, assur>
ing electric trains with q speed Of 200
kilometers per hour over novel rails.
A periodical, the Glassers Annalen, pub
lisnes a statement that both state and
nrivate companies are engaged In eX-
periments to attain the same velocity on
the old tracks with steam engines OF pc
culiar construction.
Emperor William did not like Strauss
Cinderella, Thursday night. His nal,
esty deemed the music trite and the plot
worse. When he noticed that the Wen
nese present had organized clique he
left unceremoniously after having been
present half an hour.

Gently apopinted a member of the inter-
national court of arbitration at The
Hague. Is here. Mr.. Hollis Is going to
Russia.
