Guiding two conservative and three
radical groups, met in caucus and voted
TO support the government. The first
proof of their determination Will be

program viii begin with a vote OF con
fldence in the chancellor.
Coalition May Not Lasts
The question still remains whether
the parties representing such diverse
interests can continue to cooperate in
supporting the government on the vari-
ETY. of controversial measures pending.
Prince Won Buelow solved his imme-
date embarrassment by using the ma
tional liberal criticism of the govern
ments financial measures as an op-
portunity to have a straight out talk
with the coalition leaders over the
continuous doubt whether the govern
ment was really able to command a
majority.
This doubt has existed since the
election early in the year, it being
constantly affirmed by the govern
ments opponents that the Bloc" par
ties could not possibly keep together.
Threatens to Quit Post.
The chancellor amazed the reichstag
by quietly calling together Herr Won
Normans and baron Won Camp, con-
servatives; Herr Ernst Basserman, ma
tional liberal; Herr Mueller and Herr
Meingen, radicals; Liebermann Won
Sonnerberg, agrarian, and some others
in the chancellors room at the reichs-
tag this morning
The substance of his communication
was that he would ask the emperor
for leave to retire unless he could rely
for a majoriy upon the coalition.
He therefore asked the leaders to dis
cuss the situation with their followers
and among themselves to see if they
could promise unity. 1t was presumed
that the chancellor was acting with
the emperor's full approval.
Hear More of Scandal.
The house sat for an hour and a
half to hear the minister of war, Gen.
Won Einem, further explain the Won
Moltke-E ulenburg scandal, and then
adjourned.
! Minister of War Won Einem announc-
ed in the reichstag that Emperor VIII
liam had ordered the suspension of the
court of honor proceedings against Gen.
Count Wilhelm Won Hohenau. who. to-
gether with Mai. Count Johannes
Lynar, was Compromised by the testi-
mony given in the course of the
Harden Won Moltke libel suit. This
action means that Count Won Hohenau
must take his chances in an ordinary
court of justice The minister of war
announced further that Count Won Ho-
henau and Count Lynar had presented
themselves for trial and that the cases
would take the usual course.
| The remarks of the minister of war
were called forth by speech delivered
| by Dr. Herman S. Paasche, first vice
1 president of the reichstag. in the course
/ of which he held up bunch of letters
which, he said, had been written by
Count Won Hohenau from the imperial
headquarters at Wnhelmshohe TO Herr
Bollhardt, who was a witness at the
Harden trial, and which indicated that
Won Hohenau had had meretricious re-
lations with Bollhardt.
