BERLIN, May Q. The chancellor,
Count Won Buelow, has notified the
representative presidents that q joint
sitting of the diet for tonight has been
summoned for the purpose of hearing
message from the throne.
The correspondent of the Associated
Press learns authoritatively that DIR.
Miguel, the Prussian minister of finance.
has resigned and that his resignation
has been accepted.
The Liberal party papers expect other
changes, mentioning Baron Won Ham.
merstein, minister OF agriculture, and
Herr Brefeldt, minister of commerce.
The National ZeitUng expects that
Herr Thielen. minister of public works,
will be retained, thus expressing the
governments purpose to adhere to the
canal bill. The fate of the other minis
terS is uncertain.
Count Won Buelow will read the mes
sage from the emperor at the joint sit
ting of the diet tonight.
The press today wildly discusses the
situation.

rogatton Of the diet satisfactory con-
elusion for the present confusion, as il
will prevent the Conservatives and em-
peror from drifting further apart, which
end the Liberals are trying TO promote
Bitter PHI For WilliarA.
The, Tages Zeitung assumes that
Count Won Buelow advised the emperor
TO accept the propagation. It admits it
is bitter pill for his majesty. but says
1t proves his capacity as f6lsr, for his
resignation shows he is a master Of
statesmanship.
The Berliner Deutsche Nachrichten
reioices at the step, but regrets it was
made necessary by an alliance of the
Conservatives with the Centrists, and
says it presages victory for the Con-
servatives.
The Liberal papers criticise the weak
ness of the government in merely ad-
journing instead of deciding on dis
solution and new elections.
The Tageblatt says the step shows
the utter helplessness of the govern
ment, and is confession that they do
not know their own minds
The Vorwaerts heads IT'S editorial
"Who Swallows" and ridicules the
ministry's weakness.
The Boersen Courier concludes that
Count Won Buelow lacks energy and
management.

the diet today, the president, DIR.
Kroecher, announcing that aC the joint
session this evening the diet would be
closed, suggested that il would be use
less to TRANSACT further business. The
