GREATLY CONFUSED

FOR THE CROWN IN
GERMANY.

Which Government Won't
Accept.

June 22.-The political situation f.
the crown is extremely confused b,
today's events. The Reichstag'
adoption Of the quotation tax. which
hancellor Won Buelow declared thg
government would never accept. and
which he declared to be an esscntifl
part of the central scheme of finance
reform. leaves the chancellor's posi-
ton extremely precarious. Many poll
ticians now think the chancellor will
be compelled to resign. unless he has
the courage to dissolve the Reichstae
and appeal to the country.
The latter solution however. is -
garded as practically out Of the ques.
tion. since Buelow would have 10
fight the conservatives. who are ac
counted the traditional pillars OF ths
throne.
The opinions. therefore. of nSne-
tenths Of those conversant with the
situation favor resignation. Il is al
50 believed that Bue;ow's retirement
would be followed by the designations
OF the secretary Of the imperial treas
ury. Sydow. and the Prussiaa minis
ter CT finance. Rheinbaben. who a.
equally committed with the chancellor
