Connection With South and West

Up by Railroad Movements.
NEW YORK. March 30.—The Her
ald says J. M. Barr, president of the
Seaboard Air Line railway will, In
all probability, resign from his posi
tion May 1, and that he will be suc
ceeded by Alfred Walter, chairman
of the board of directors of the South
and Western railway. The directors
will create the new office or general
manager, with H. Hlx as such offi
cer i t take the place of general super
intendent.
Mr. Walter will probably retain his
connection with the board of the
South and W estern. In addition to the
presidency of the Seaboard
Railroad officials who believe that
Mr. Barr will he succeeded by Mr.
Walter say they have heard that the
two men have oeen recently going
carefully over the entire system, and
Mr Barr always seemed to ho ex
plaining thoroughly the details of
operation and management to Mr.
Walter.
This rumor is probably given
strong credence because of the fact
that the South and Western is recog
nized ns a Blatr-Ryan property, and
so Is the Seaboard Furthermore,
since it has become known that the
Clinrhfield corporation (Hlair-Ryan
interests) is behind the South and
Western and has plans for tne romht
nation of both the South aind Western
and the Seaboard in the near future,
the belief is rather in tho rumored
changes concerning Mr. Barr’s resig
nation, the unification of the Seaboard
and the South and Western and the
enlargement of both systems.

MNCELU CRISIS

GERMAN EMPIRE
EMPEROR WILLIAM HAS GIVEN
MORTAL OFFENSE TO MINIS
TER V 0,4 BUELOW.
PUT INDIGNITY UPON HIM
So Thoughtleas, or Elae So Calculat
ing, as to Appoint Secretary of For
eign Affairs Without Consultation
With His Chancellor.
BERLIN, March 30.—The relations
of the imperial chancellor. Prince
iUeulow, with Emperor William, has
been tile subject of much discussion
among the public recently. Now and
then a German newspaper has print
ed guardedly an Intimation of a
"chancellor crisis." which has been
!followed tiy denials on the part, of
j newspapers having official connec-
I Ilonas.
Since Herr Von Tschllsky was ap
pointed secretary for foreign affairs
In January, In suceesslon lo the late
Baron Von Rlehl.hofen, it has been
said that the chancellor was dissatis
fied because Herr Von Tschlrsky was
selected by the emperor without pre
vious consultation with the chancel
lor. Every week brought out a new
story. The one of the moment con
cerns the raising of the Colonial bu
reau of the foreign office to cabinet
grade, with Prince Ernest Von Hohen
lohe Lungenhtirg. director of the bu
reau. lo he Colonial minister.
Prince Bettlow proposed Prince Von
Hnhenlohe Langenbnrg for the place,
hut when the appropriation was re
fused by the Reichstag appropriations
committee, owing to the ctmtre par
ty's opposition to Prince Hohenlobe's
antl-Jeaultlcal actions while regent of
Saxe-Coburg and Gotha during the
minority of the reigning duke, Charles
Edward, the chancellor. It Is said, sug
gested that some one else must na
chosen for the poHt.
The emperor, however, took the
view that it was best to support
Prince Hohenlohe and Insist on the
Reichstag making the appropriation.
The question Is likely to come up In
the Reichstag In a few duys.
The emperor nfter his morning
walk In the Thlergarten usually calls
at the chnncellor'a palnce and walks
up and down the garden with him.
and residents of the houses overlook
ing the garden observe that hla ma
jesty's attitude toward Prince Boulow
does not differ from his former atti
tude. The emperor takea the chan
cellor's arm In the promenade or slap#
him on the shoulders while talking.
It Is certainly true that Prince Beu
low has been much criticised, and
there Is a disposition to blame him
for the suspicion and distrust of Ger
many manifested abroad, and severat
government measures, especially the
taxation projects, have not. been ap
proved by the Reichstag. Criticism,
however, centres upon the chancellor
for everything whlrh any one disap
proves of His position has been es
pecially difficult during uncertainties
resulting from the conference at. Al
geelras. and his 111 wishers have util
ized the opportunity to conduct a lim
ited press eampalgn against him.
There Is no certain Indication as yet,
however, that the chancellors’ posi
tion has been seriously affected.
