CABINET TO BE REORGANIZED
BARON Won HAMMERsTEIN. MINIS

And i:crr Brcfeld, Minister OF Conn
mcrcc, 10 Voluntarily Make Way
for other Statesmen.

BERLIN, May 3.-The report that the
Cabinot is 10 be reorganized seemingly
is confirmed. DR.. Won Miguel the Prus-
sian minister of finance. has resigned
and mis- resignation has been accepted.
Ii is also stated that Baron Won Hammer
stein, minister of agriculture, has resigned
The rumOr that DR.. Schoenstedt,
minister of justice. has resigned. is UNI
founded. DR.. Won Miquel's resignation
was enforced, but instead of DR.. Won
Lucanus. chief of the Emperor's civil cab
met. who usually bears such direct mes
sages from the Emperor. it was Baron
Won Wilmowsky. chief of the chancellerie.
who requested DR.. Van Miguel to re-
sign in the Emperor's name. DR.. Won
Posadowski Weiner, secretary of state for
the interior. is expected to be DR.. Won
Miquels successor. while General Won
Podbleisky succeeds Baron Won Hammer
stein as minister of agriculture. who leaves
Office because of deafness and general
debility. Herr Brefeld, minister of COM
merce. is also said to be going invol-
UNFAIRLY. No names Of Liberals or Rad
icals are mentioned among the possible
successors of General Podbielsky for the
postal office and Herr Brefeld for COM
merce minister. Herr Thielen, minister
of public works, appears to be safe.
The Prussian Diet met jointly at $50
p. m. and the chancellor read a royal
message declaring the Diet closed. Count
Won Buelow then said: LAS the govern
ment Is convinced, in view of the course
taken in committee, that an agreement
on the canal bill is at present out of
the question il does not wish to offer
any aid in a continuance of f~ruitless dis
cussions.' Then, with three cheers for
the Emperor. the sitting was ended. All
the minister's. including Dr.. Won MIGUEL,
were present.
The chancellor prefaced his remarks
by saying the canals projected would be
to industry and 10 agriculture. 1t had
been intended to promote a general ex-
change OF merchandise. hence the gov
eminent was unwilling TO accept a bill
from which essential components had been
cut. Count Won Buelow, who. like all his
colleagues, was in evening dress, appeared
more nervous than usual.
1t is anticipated in parliamentary cir
cies in this city that Count Won Bue-
low will forthwith reconstruct the Cabi-
ret and that the date OF the general cleo
ton will so arranged that the new house
of Diet will meet at the end of October
or the beginning of November, when the
canal bill will probably be Immediately
re~introduced.

eye TO the keeping of our own markets foT

mutually beneficial.
1t is said that the President looks with
favor upon a modification of the Dingley
tariff suited to the changed conditions, as
opposed TO a class of protectionists who
are crying out that there must be no modi-
hcation of the Dingley tariff. When any
provision of the Dingley tariff shall be used
by American producers to sell their proc
ucts for a higher price at home than
abroad it should be so modified as to make
such selling impossible.

DISCUSSION OF TARIFF MODiFICA-

ANY attempt to shut off discussion Of the
tariff by Republicans who are protection

have taken place in the industries of the
country and in our relations to other cour-
tries make d modification of the Dingley
tariff law necessary. The Dingley law,
as a measure for the date of its enactment
and for the condition OF our industries at
that time, was as near "a perfect tariff
measure as could be devised. Marvellous
changes have taken place in the interven-
