Herr Hanauer was gazetted tonight as the successor of Dr, von Bosse as secretary of state in the ofice of justico of the empire. Herr Hanauer has a good record as director of the departizent. The powers of Count von Eulenburg as president of the Prussian ministry wiil be tested next Tuesdav whon the centrists in the lower house propose to debate his ap- pointment by challenging the allowance for the president of the council. The separa- tiou of the functions of the imperial chuncellor and those of the ‘bresident of the Prussian ministry necessitated a supplementary credit of 78,000 marks, cover- ing salaries and all other oxpenses of the oftice. The clerico-conservative majority re- joice at the chance to show their hostility by a rejection of the cregit. The national liberals and the fressinige party are also re- luctant to grant the money, but will vote for the appropriation this year as a part of the new temporary ministerial arrangement. ‘I'he whole question of tha separatioa of the functions of the 1mperial chavcellor and tho chief of the Prussian miuistry and the abandonment of the primary education bill will be warmly discussed. Was a Disap Count von Euilenburg’s opening speech as president of the ministry disappointed every- body who knew his old form as aa orator. Instead of making a cloar, apt statemo: with the ease of a ready speaker, ho read his declaration, which was badly drafted and badly phrased. His debut tendsd to alter the impression that hs would badomo a formidable rival of Chanceilor von Caprivi, Intimate frionds of the lattar now patronize Count von Eulonburg as a protoze of the chancellor, who is craditod with saying that he means to familiarize the new chief wittl the work of the chancslleries and the foreign office aud theu retire. $ The present session of the Landtag will closeon the Sth inst. The members aco bafiled and are furious over tho withdrawal of the primary educational bill. The clerico- conservatives will givo the gzovernment a parting kick. Buteven tha rejection of the credit, made nocessary by the separation of the functions of the imperial chancellor and the chiefof tho Prussian cabinst, will not lead tv an immediate ministerial crisis. The government wmay refer the question to the new Landtag. The centrist leader, Herr Schorlemen- Alst, in a speech recontly made at Essen, announced that the resumption of the educa- tional bill would be the foremost plank in tho electoral program of the centrists’ depu- ties. A joint decluration has been sent to the vatican contawing sunilar 1ntimation. ent, Secking Closer Relations. Count von Schouvaloff, the Russian ambasasador to Germany, has made over- tures to Chancellor von Caprivi with a view to the restoration of the commorcial entante between Itussia and Germany. No news for a long time has awakened more interest than has this in diplomatic circles, where the re- port was at first discreditod. It however received confirmation today from St. Poters- burg. The initiativo was taken solely by Count von Schouvaloff, who has for a long timo been trying 1o induce the czar to con sentto a renewal of the relatious and has veiled bis acceptance of his embassador’s proposals by the apolntment of a commission charged with regulatine the commercial reia- tions of Russia with foreiga nations.This com- mission consists of Count von Schouvaloff, M. de Giers, the forcien minister; M. Visnce- gradsky, minister of finance; State Coun- cillor Turinjasef, with Privy Counsellor Abasa, ministor without a portfolio, as presi- dent. Tne czar bas directed the commission to first consider the settlement of an entento with Germany, This news ought for a time at least to oheck the war rumors so largely traceable to the Kreuse Zeitung. The solia fact regurding war preparations is that the Russian army is not fit for the field. Tue new equipmonts will not bo ready before 1804, Aunother Diplomatic Surprise. Another diplomatic surpriso was the decis- on of the Austro-Hungarian government to accord Hungary scparate representation at forelgn courts. Some stop of this nature, it Las been known at the chancellerio here, would vrobably be approved by Ewperor William and Chancellor von Caprivi, though as chiefly a matter of Austrain international policy they had no right directly to interfere. Dr. Wokerle, the Hungarian minister of finance, in the lower louse of the Hungarian Diet at Pesth today aunounced that the government would ox- amine Asto how a proper expression could be given 10 the national position of Hungary iu foreign affars through such royal inter- course with foreign courts, Dr. Wekerle added that negotiations on the subject were pending and be hoped soon to be able to communicate the result to Parliament. ‘Tue announcement is gratifying tp every Hungarian group. Dr. Wekerle declined to state how the change would operate, It is believed that the ministers at foreign courts wili have decorative, not practical political functions, and it is understood that distinet consul representation is not included in the scheme, ‘The Norwegian government, acting under the plan pow before the Storthing, will es- tablish in January, 1504, her own consuls in New York and London at an annual salary of 24,000 kroners.

MEMBER OF PARLIAMENT, His Weekly Chat- About Affairs in the House of Commons, [Copyrighted 1892 by Jamse Gordon Bennatt.) Loxpoy, April 2—{New York Herald Cable—Special to Tite Bik.]—Labouchore is sometimes a very awkward customor for the govornment to tackle, for he is u pertinac- ious obstacle and not easily thrown off the track when once b8 gets on it. He has the advantage of finding the house willing to listen to.bim, for ha usually managas to pro- vide it with a little nmusement, and vhe weary legislator, suffering too often unaer the ivfliction of & whole triba of bores, is always grateful to unybody who can provids food for laughter or even for a smile.

On Priday afternoon Gladstono happened to stroll in to see what was doing.

The government, he said, would* follow con- stitutional usago, but the prerogativa of the crown to dissolve Parliament at such timeas is deemed most expadient mustnot bo in- fringed on. Thers could ba no questioa that the crown atone had the right to say at what timo Parliament shoutd be dissolved. Of courso this is & constitutional fraction, for the crown never takes the initiative in such matters, but simoly acts upon tha ad- o of 1ts ministges, ‘Therefora, Balfour sheltered himsell jbghind the broad bul- warks of the constitufion, and Labouchere ot nothing out of him.

May Digsolve In June, And this is unfoubtedly fact, but ina gencral way you may rely upon the state- ment already madg in these dispatchos that the great eveat will take placo sometime in June or July.

The success at Ortiz was followod by the seizure of \the national gunboat Nueve do Julio, which was stationed at KEsmeralda on the Orinoco river. This success gives the revolutionists the command of the upper ondof the rivar, and will be of great advan- tage in future operations.
